POULTRY HOUSE FIXTURES.
Everything Should Be Movable So as
to Render Cleaning Easy.

The fixtures in the poultry house
should be fastened, but everything
should be movable, because this great
ly facilitates keeping things clean and
in good shape. AS a matter of fact,
it is next to impossible to clean out
and renovate a poultry house unless
all interior fixtures and appliances
are movable and can be carried out
side the building. More than that, II

ing in the cracks in the walls where
they can scarcely be reached.
The best roosts are those that are
all on the same level and not more
than two feet from the ground, says
the Epitomist. We have our perches
only IS inches above the ground for
Plymouth Rock fowls. BY having the
perches all the same height, crowding
for the highest positions is avoided,
while by having them low it is easier
for the birds to get on and off and in
juries to the feet or bodies of the
fowls in jumping or falling or getting
pushed of are avoided.

an irresistible spell. The history Of
those times is obscured by the many
myths and fables interviewer with the

On st. Patricks day, with tender
heart and moist eye, we set before
ourselves the far form of Ireland, gar
landed with the deeds of the past, and
bedecked with the colors of bygone
days. The pages of Irish history are,
without doubt, familiar to all. The
brilliant lights and deep shadows, the
intense joys and keen SORROWS, the
failures and triumphs which mark the
annals of Erin are an old and familiar
story. .,4,e4.

air Of romance, and has, running
through it,, a depth Of color which in

old Erin. he wears the best imitation
he can find, and if he can get no
shamrock, real or counterfeit, he
wears a green necktie or a strip of
green in his coat lapel
1t was not many years ago that the
more enthusiastic of the sons Of Ire
land on the day when they bedecked
themselves with green would decline
to tolerate the sight of yellow EN-
blem. Vendors of oranges and ba-
nanas did we'll to keep their carts off
the street. Even belief in the same
religion was not always sufficient to
save orange sellers; that fruit was en-
tirely too suggestive of the Orange
mems association.
In these days of increasing tolera-
ton there is less and less friction Of
this sort. The custom of giving Saint
Patrick's day parades is. gradually dy-
ing out in this country. Many years
ago the New York city council passed
an ordinance imposing a penalty on
anyone who abused an efigy of Saint
Patrick, but no such law is now neces-
sary. Patriotic Irish societies observe
the day quietly, and there are services
in the Catholic churches, especially in
those edifices named after the saint.
Even in Ireland there is less and less
of bitterness between the wearers of
the green and the yellow, and the
crack of the shillalah is not so often
heard as formerly to the accompani-
ment of the strains Of est Patrick s
Day in the Mornin'.' The attitude of
Queen Victoria had much to do with
bringing about this change of feeling.
It was the duchess of Buckingham
and Chandos who, in voicing her ma.
jesty's sentiments, wrote these lines

hearts of the Irish soldiery:
We're sthe most uplifted regiment,
Bedad were mortal keen!
The shamrock's in our forage caps
BY order of the queen!
This song bears date 1900, for it was
in the last year of her reign that Vic.
toria, just before her memorable visit
to Ireland, gave orders that her Irish
regiments were to wear the shamrock
in their headgear on Saint Patrick's
day. That raised the national emblem
of the island officially to the heart
