should be a board with cleats or
steps on it (board not shown in
illustration leading from the low
err to upper floor, and a door made
through the floor, to be closed on
cold nights.
The lower room is used in cold
aud wet weather for Il range room
and should have plenty of straw
for the chickens to exercise in
while getting the grain that is fed
to them. There should be a dust
box with good sharp grit.
This room may be used to keep
little chickens in in early spring,
wet or bad weather or dewy morn
ings.
In building this house it is not
necessary to use costly materials
but i. should be made tight so as
to prevent cold draughts. A good
plan is to line the inside with tar.

ideal place for the birds to work
on. In the following description
il one does not care to have a two

and the main room placed all on
the ground floor. We have built
a good many both ways.
The above illustration represents
a house twelve feet long and ten
feet wide, but twelve is feet recon-
mended as that gives more floor
room.
(A) represents the upper floor
where the perches or roosts and
the nests are placed. The roosts
are made in a frame hinged to the
north side of the house so that
they may be raised out of the way
when the house is being cleaned.
(B) shows roosts slightly raised.
There should be q hook to hold
the frame up when cleaning the
house.
The frame in which the roosts
are fitted may be from three to
four feet wide aud should extend
the length of the building; but.
for convenience, should be made
In sections, il the house is much
over twelve feet long.
The floor is level except beneath
the roosts where il is made on an
incline ending in a dirt box (C)
which has a lid or cover (partly
raised in the illustration). This
box should extend the length of
the north side of the house out

COTTON PLANTING THOUGHTS.

Now is the time to think about the
price of cotton next fall. BY diversi.
flying and properly restricting cotton
acreage the total yield can be kept
within limits where the price will be
satisfactory. That is really the only
sure way of playing the game. The
spectators have all along tried to
frighten the farmers with two bug,
bears; first, that the mills had sup,
plies to last for two years; second
the mills would close down. Well, an
idle mill is dead loss to the owner
it can not be turned to anything else;
whereas the farmer can change his
cotton factory to a corn, oats, wheat
cabbage and potato factory, and still
manage to get returns for his invest
ment and his labor. Hence, IL the
farmer will but intelligently regulate
his prices by the law of supply and
demand, there can be no reason, out
side of his own lack of cohesiveness
why he should not win the day

THE VALUE OF THE COW.

The value of any property is deter.
bined by the rate of interest it will
pay on the investment, and the same
is true of cow. The owner should
know just how much her feed costs
for the year. Then figure a reason
able amount as a sinking fund with
which to replace her when she is worn
out. Statistics show that ten years
is about the average length of time
that cow is useful. Next, there
should be something figured for the
care of the cow. Estimating a years
feed at $50; sinking fund, So, which
would be ample since the old carcass
should bring little, and $12 for the
cows care, would make a total of $45
per year. The owner will never get
full pay if the cow gives him less
than $50 pounds Of butter fat. In or
der to come out just even, then she
must give that amount of butter fat,
for which must be received 20 cents
per pound, and as the writer above
mentioned suggests, the owner must
have 1000 pounds of hand-separated
milk at rs cents per hundred pounds.
Besides this there must be a calf
worth SIS when dropped. If it takes
the calf, skim milk and $50 pounds Of
butter fat to pay the bills, the COW
which gives 200 pounds of butter fat
is paying profit of $11. The cow
that can add another 100 pounds of
butter fat is paying $22 more in but
ter fat and skim milk, or $33 more
than, the cow giving $50 pounds of
butter fat and just paying her board
bill. Add another 100 pounds Of but
ter fat to her record (4O0 pounds Of
butter fat is not a hard record to
reach), and there is to her credit $55
net profit, or an income of an even
800 per year. 1

MAKING FARMING PAY.

There is no way CT making farming
pay except by making each day con-
tribute something to the profit OF the
farm. Line upon line, precept upon
precept, day by day-these are the
rules of successful farming. Neglect,
Indifference, lack of continuous labor
these are fatal. Nature never stands
still. Work in her laboratory goes on
every day in the year and every hour
OF the twenty-four in each day. The
farmer must initiate nature in this.
He ought to regulate his work SO as to
secure the greatest results with the
greatest comfort. There are periods
of the year when the weather does
not permit him to work out of doors,
but these days can be we'll occupied
about the house and the barn.
Moreover, a man is a thinking ma.
chine, and the farming man should
be thinking about farming methods.
We do not mean that he should think
of nothing else, but if he is going to
have satisfaction in, and good results
from, his work he must put himself
into it. He must put his thoughts up.
on his crops, upon his soil, upon his
markets. He ought to keep a record;
if not a daily record, diary. He
ought to keep running story of the
years work so that he may know next
January what he did wrong last JAN
uary, or what he failed to do at all,
what he ought to have done, or what
he did that turned out well. 1t will
these things. Time plays us many
tricks, and as we get older we re-
member many things that did not hap
pen, and we forget the things that
everybody about us we'll remembers.
Do not suppose that you can make
money on the farm in any happy-go.
lucky manner. What you want is me.
thodfcal work, continuous work, intel
ligent work. The future belongs to
the American farmer. He has done
in this year work that has saved the
whole country from disaster, but I'M
less it has saved the individual farm
er from disaster he will take little
comfort in it. When we say that the
future belongs to the American farm
er we do not mean that it belongs
to the indolent farmer, nor to the
negligent farmer, nor to the farmer
who does not care what happens SO
it does not happen to him. 1t belongs
to the industrious farmer, the intelli-
gent farmer, the man who learns by
his own mistakes and the mistakes OF
his neighbors.-Home and Farm.
