tons. 1t rec to a large meas
ure the difficulty so common with the
majority of hen houses, that is, side
surface exposure to severe winds
which have a tendency to keep the
temperature of the building low when
1t should be warn and comfortable.
The dimensions of the building are
1920 feet inside measurement. The
house is located upon well drained
ground insuring dryness and healthful
surroundings. Before the construction
OF the building was begun a sound
foundation was laid. One object was
to preserve the building and another
to make an air-tight bottom so as to
retard the penetration of cold air dur
ing severe weather. The foundation
should either be of stone or cement, as
the life of the structure is largely de-
pShuSh' upoh thio pat iidihC
work is made entirely Of sound 2x6
stuff to insure a strong and durable
frame. The stills were laid in cement
to assist in making the base as tight
as possible. The siding is pine ship
tapping of excellent quality. This Is
very essential to insure a warm COM
Portable building. The inside of the
building is sealed with the same ma
terial.
In putting together the s%hip-lapping
on the inside, coal-tar was used to
paint the grooves before the matched
stuff was put together. This not only
insures a tight sealing, but also pre-
vents lice and other germs working
and multiplying where i~nconvenient to
disinfect. Tar paper was also put be-
tween the siding and sheathing.
For roofing, explains Prairie Farmer,
shingles were used, laid five inches to
the weather. AS will be observed, the
roof is very steep; this gives plenty
Of space within for air, and also makes
a more durable roof. The windows are
In both ends. Were the house being
rebuilt l should have more windows
low down along the side, so the fowls
could have more direct sunlight. This
poultry house is sufficiently large to
accommodate about GO fowls.

POULTRY HOUSE FOR 60 FOWLS.
Single Room Structure Which Proves
Satisfactory.

A conveniently arranged and prop
erly constructed hen house Is one of
the Indispensable requisites in profta-
BILE poultry raising. The main object
to be observed in designing such a
structure is to secure as much floor
space as possible and hold roof space
to moderation. The object ia to save
expense in construction, as the real
value of a house for this purpose de-
ponds upon the number Of square feet
sarface area on the floor in proportion
10 the actual cost of the building.
The sketch included with this article
illustrates a very unique design of
farm poultry house. The building is
particularly well adapted to the aver
age farmers needs who keeps but a
small flock and desires to give them
every opportunity. 1t was the aim Of
the designer of this poultry house to
have as much floor space as possible

Now, Chirpy, you're the only little

CLEAN DRINKING VESSELS.
viii Help to Keep Disease Out Of
Flock.

Unclean drinking vessels are doubt
less the immediate means of spread
ing some Of our contagious diseases,
such as roup. Roup is a disease in
which slime accumulates in the
mouths of the fowls and strings out
of their mouths when they open them
to drink. Nothing is easier than for
such a fowl to leave slime in the
drinking water, which is then par
taken of by the other fowls. This
leads to the fowls all becoming quick
ly affected. AS roup comes on in the
fall very often when we get the
changes In temperature at night, 1t is
necessary that the drinking vessels
be kept clean and every fowl that
shows signs of a cold should be taken
at once from the house SO that 1t will
not be possible for her to spread the
disease.

CARE OF THE KITCHEN.
Clean Walls Are an Essential TO
Sanitary Cooking.

II Is not only important to know
how to cook, but 1t Is equally impor'
tant to know where to cook. Cook
ing in a dirty kitchen a never pro-
duce good food. The idea Is simply
preposterous, yet kitchen walls are
left for months-sometimes for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have a light tint that the mer.
est leck OF dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb a be brushed
away; that the tiniest water bug can
be discerned. 1t Is all folly expecting
clean food in a kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put a wall coating on a
kitchen wall that Is mixed with hot
water or that has glue in It, or sour
milk in 1t II mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses hoofs
colored up with cheap colorings do
not indicate good housekeeping. The
glue is constantly hecking off, fall
ing into the food and the idea Of food
favored with glue made from horses
hoofs Is not appetizing.
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
isfactory should be alabastined the
same as every other wall in the
house. They should be coated regu-
larly in the spring and fall Of each
year with a light tint.
The care Of the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
be brushed over every year, the
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
with hot water. If there are ant
holes or any other insects in the pan.

PURE FOOD.
No Food Commissioner Of Any state
Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
Purity Of Grape-Nuts.

Every analysis undertaken shows
this food to be made strictly of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the. starch
parts into a form of Sugar, and there
fore much easier to digest.
Our claim that 1t is a "Food for
Brain and Nerve Centres" is based
upon the fact that certain parts of
Wheat and Barley (Which we use) on.
tain Natures brain and ne%rve-building
ingredients, viz: Phosphate Of Pot
ash. and the way we prepare the food
makes it easy to digest and assimilate.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey in his book on
THE Biochemic System of Medicine"
says:
when the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range Of
the phosphate of potassium, insane
asylums will no longer be needed.
The gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cell-salt, potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen, and
by the addition of oxygen creates nerve
fluid, or the gray matter of the brain.
"Of course, there is a trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
~nerve-iuid, but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by its own law
of affinity, all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir of life. Therefore,
when nervous symptoms arise, due to
the fact shat the nerve-luid has been
exhausted from any cause, the phos-
plate of potassium is the only true
remedy, because nothing else can
possibly supply the deficiency.
THE ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter Of the
brain cannot be overestimated.
phosphate of Potash, is to my
mind, the most wonderful curative
agent v e discovered by man, and
the blessings it has already conferred
on the rae are many. But shat
shall the harvest be- when physicians
everywhere fully understand the part
this wonderful salt plays in the
processes of life? 1t will dc as much
as can be done through physiology to
make a heaven on earth.
Let the ~overworked business mar
take it and 90 home good-tempered.
Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung
from attending to sick children or en-
PERTAINING company, take it and note
how quickly the equilibrium will be
restored and calm and reason assert
her throne. No 'provings' are required
here. We find this potassium salt
largely predominates in nerve-fuid,
and that a deficiency produces we'll
defined symptoms. The beginning and
end of the matter is to supply the
lacking principle, and in molecular
form, exactly as nature furnishes it in
vegetables. fruits and grain. To sup.
ply defciencies-this is the only law
of cure"
Please observe that Phosphate OF
Potash is not properly Of the drug
shop variety but is best prepared by
"Old Mother Nature" and stored in
the grains ready for use by mankind

health by the use Of Grape-Nuts are
