The roof is covered with No. boxing

desires he can use any of the specially
prepared roofing materials which,
though probably not SO durable as the
shingles, would have the advantage
of being cheaper A cheaper grade
of lumber could be used with equal
satisfaction in the construction Oh the

will depend on the cost of material,
which varies in different localities.

about eight inches. Brahma and
Langshans ten inches.
Roosts should be made low or near
the ground-not higher than two feet.
There are several reasons for this.
Fowls of the heavier breed cannot
fly high and those of the lighter
breeds frequently injure the soles of
their feet in jumping from high perch
es. Roosts should be made all the
same heights For If they are made
some higher than others the birds will
all flock to the highest ones and
crowd which is undesirable.
When dropping boards are used
they should be low down to permit of
easy cleaning. They should be made
of matched lumber and be 20 inches
wide for one perch and three feet
wide for two perches. The first perch
placed at least ten inches from the
wall. A good roost may be made from
material two by two inches then
slightly rounded on the edges.
Many use old boxes, but these if
near the ground are liable to induce
egg eating. To prevent this use dark
nests. Nests are usually made from
II to Is inches square. Dirt floors are

cheaper than board floors and have the

"AIi is Fair in Love and War"

'A!i Is Fair in Love and War"
Dear Norman, | cannot tell you
what you ask; | cannot and must not
give you the faintest hint. 1t would

I am sure of it. for | can think more
clearly now that | am no longer near

"Of course he will ask her again: a
man does not like being baked by
woman" said Dmitri Anatovitch to
himself, on reading these sentences
in letter Christabel had written to
Norman Forde on the day after her
arrival at Sulja. All letters going to
the post, as were those coming by 1t,
were seen by Dmitri if he chose to
open them, and he had chosen to open
hers. COZ course" he repeated, with
an emphatic shake of the head, 'She
will ask her again, and there will
come a time when she will not be able
to deny him, unless-I make certain
that the time will never come"
He glanced at her letter once more,
debating with himself whether to let
it go or not. FINELY he came to the
conclusion to send it to Forde, as
there was no immediate necessity for
carrying out any scheme for doing
away with Christabel. But he was

A gentle slope facing the south or
southeast is preferable in order that
the fowls may receive as much sun
light as possible during the short days
Of winter. A slope towards the south
east is better than southwesterly
one, as the fowls seem to prefer the
morning to the afternoon sun. Or
chards are very desirable as locations
for poultry runs on account of the
shade which the trees afford during
the hot summer days, and in return
for the shade thus provided the poul-
try will prove a valuable ally to the

The first consideration is the selec-
lion of a suitable location for the poul-
try plant. An elevation having nat
ural drainage away from the area
where the building is to be placed
should be sought, as the ground, no
matter of what nature, will be cold
and unhealthy if damp. If the pro-
posed site does not afford drainage
naturally it should be provided in the
form of thorough system of under
drainage. A dry, porous soil of a
sandy or gravelly nature is much more
satisfactory than an impervious clay
soil, as that of the more open nature
IS more easily kept in clean and
sanitary condition. A pure, sandy
soil is not desirable, however, as a
soil which will not support plant life
Will prove unsatisfactory for poultry.

the woods near the head waters OF
the Necanicum and the North Neha-

experienced hunters, who tried in vain
to stalk him.
Jim took stroll while they were
incoming, and within a half mile from
camp came to an open glade contain

within the edge of the g~timber he
counted sixteen elk feeding leisurely
in the opening. He noticed three
bucks, good, large fellows. but he al

monarch of the herd, which he AYERS

Being to leeward of the band and
within eighty yards of them, Jim hal

The big fellow had a magnificent pai'

eleven on the other. in the velvet.
The other bucks were large, but they
looked like pigmies by the side of the
big fellow.

My folks thought 1t was coffee that
