boards should be made of matched
lumber and should be 20 inches wide
for one roost and three feet for
two, the first being placed ten inches
from the wall Most poultrymen pre-
fer roosts two by three inches wide,
with edges rounded slightly. Nests
are usually made from IL to Is inches
square. If placed near the floor they
are apt to induce egg eating. Dark
nests prevent this.
Cement floors are the cleanest and
if properly constructed, and dry and
warm and give good results. Six
inches of coal cinders rounded well
down close with some fine material
on top, sand will answer, and one to
one and a half inches sand and &C.
ment, one cement and two sand will
make a strong enough floor for a
poultry house.
Colony houses have many things to
recommend them. They can be used
for several different purposes and
be moved from place to place with a
horse, insuring fresh land for rear
placed in these early in the spring
and after the chicks are old enough
to do without heat the breeders may
be removed and perches put up. This
makes an ideal house till very late
in the fall. Laying hens can be win
tered in colony houses with as good
results in egg production as in larger
houses. Ventilation can be arranged
in colony houses much the same as
in larger ones. The two cuts here
show the shed roof and gable roof.
The shed roof is ventilated by muslin
curtains on upper part of windows,
the gable roof house by straw lot
with lattice in each gable to admit
the air TO pass over and through the
straw, which is held up by wire net
ting fastened to the sides of the roof.
A muslin curtain was used on up
per half of windows shown in figure.
On mild days this was hooked up in
side during a great portion of the
day and was let down during the
night. Although the temperature
on some nights during the time reg
istered over ten degrees below zero,

TUTOR WOULDN'T TREAT;
SMOKED out BY PUPILS
MICHIGAN TEACHER OBJECTS To
TREATMENT AND LEAVES
TOWN ri DISGUST.

Elsie, Mich.-Because they object
ed to the eXuberant spirits and child
like joy OF our simple village folk,
James X. Jamison. superintendent, and
Timothy p. Jamison, principal OF the
Elsie high school, shook the dust OF
the town from their feet the other day,
vowing never to return.
The trouble all started during the
holiday vacation, when 4. p. Jamison
took unto himself a bride. His pupils
desiring TO show him their apprecia-
ton of the Importance OF the occasion,
assembled before his home. With
horns, tin pans and every noise-mak-
ing device that youthful ingenuity,

earnestly applied. could devise, they
awole the sleeping country side for
miles around.
A Whitehead form appeared at an
upper window OF the Jamison home.
Speech" cried tho pupils.
"Ain't you goin' to treat?" shouted
some of the more practical minded.
Instead of the bridegroom. however
the ghostly figure proved to be his
brother, James K, the superintendent
He requested the pupils 10 go home,
and although there was some grum-
bling over the failure of the bride
groom TO come through with the
treat" they obeyed.
Timothy's failure to treat became q
village issue. Around the hot stove
in one of the village groceries the
town ''cutups" held a consultation and
came to the conclusion that Tim
hadn't done right" Furthermore, they
vowed, by heck, that Tim shouldn't
rest until he had treated his pupils.
For three hours that night they
raised bedlam in front of the Jamison
TCSlUcHCe. All 10 no avail. lin
showed no disposition whatever to eX-
tend the Inequalities expected of him.
We'll show him, b'gosh," said the
merry wags. With voices somewhat
frazzled by the wear Of the night be-
fore, they assembled. They didn't
rely upon noise this time. They
wired up all the doors and windows,
and then one bold spirit climbed UP OH
the roof and stuffed rags down the
chimney until it was completely
clogged. This left to the Jamisons
the pleasant alternative of being
smothered with smoke or putting out
the fire and enduring the cold.
Were coming back every night un-
til ye treat the scholars" shouted the
band as they left the Jamison resi-
dence about daybroak
Superintendent Jamison was
grieved. He appealed to the village
marshal, but that worthy remarked
that he. too, thought, by gum, that
Tim ought to treat. q.
Consequently the Jamison brothers
and Tins bride have left in disgust,
declaring they will not return. Tho
pupils, while they did not get their
treat, are rejoicing in the extra vaca-
ton.
