needed exercise. The amount of cold
that hens will endure and continue to
lay if kept busy exceeds belief.
The roof, of course, must be tight
as no moisture must be allowed in the
litter. The roof should be long one
to the north, with short one sloping
south. Under the caves of the
southern roof is nailed a sheet the
entire length and wide enough to
cover the open front. This is made
of burlap or old bran sacks, and in
a loop at the bottom rests light
pole to keep it down so the wind and
snow may be excluded at night. AS
soon as the sun is up in the morning
it is rooled up and tied to ropes under
the caves. In spring and summer
these scratching sheds are not re
quired, and are employed in raising
large flocks of chickens.
It is best to begin by setting q
brooder in one corner of each, in
which to raise rs or 100 incubator
chicks, and this net-faced house is
their home, with a yard attached
until cold weather, when they are
changed to fiocks for layers or fatten
ing. The scratching sheds are then
in requisition again. 1t is not difficult
to build them in sections that may be
taken apart and moved readily from
one part of the grounds to another
The heaviest section is the floor, but
this is managed easily on two wheel
barrOWs.

More attention has been given to
children's millinery within the past
three years than ever before. The re-
suit is a greater number of designs
to choose from. This branch of the
E1illiner's art was neglected because it
was not profitable to the milliner. But
now the manufacturers of hats have
begun to produce numbers of pretty
and inexpensive shapes, which may
be quickly trimmed, and the milliner
has been able to show variety of
models at a price which her patrons
Wi consider.
Nothing will ever supplant the plain
"flat" in felt as the most popular of
hats for the little girl at this season.
mushroom shapes, with dropping brim
and full, soft crowns. Two of these
pretty and childish models are shown
in Figs. 1 and 2. In the first a soft
crown of velvet is very cleverly mount
ed to the brim. Six box plaits laid at
equally distant intervals are slashed
so that a collar of soft ribbon is run
through them and is finished in a rib
bon bow at the left side, toward the
back, The same ribbon is plated in a
ruffle about the brim. Little original
touches, such as there are in trim
ming, are more valuable in making
children's millinery than any amount
of elaboration in work

TELLING AGE OF CHICKENS
Generally the Spurs of Both Hens and

English authorities hold that there

The skin of the body is a better test
as it becomes coarser and dryer-look,
ing with age.
Formerly the wing feathers were
considered an absolute test as between
a pullet and hen, even after the
long practice of early breeding had
made the melting of early pullets quite
common.
An Austrian authority says that a
pullet will show rose-cOlored veins on
the surface of the skin, under the
wings.
There will also be long, silky hairs
growing there. After year old these
hairs disappear, as also do the veins,
and the skin grows white and vein.

1t is more difficult to Judge the age
of water fowl than of other poultry,
partly from the absence of spurs, part
ly from greater longevity and partly
because the water keeps their legs soft
and fresh.
Ducks waddle more heavily as they
grow older, and after two or three
years they acquire depression down
the breast.
An abdominal pouch of considerable
size indicates great age in geese.
Turkeys up to a year old are said to
have black feet, which grow pink UP
to three years of age, when they
gradually turn gray and dull.
Age in pigeons is often told by the
color of the breast. In squads the
flesh looks whitish as seen through
the skin, but becomes more and more
purplish as the bird grows older.

Boys Essay on Clothing.

Here is an extract from an essay.
written by boy in London school:
Clothing is an article which every
body should wear The least Of this
article is worn by savages or natives,
which is a piece of cloth or few
leaves or feathers round the waist in
cold countries, same as Eskimos, the
people wear more clothes than we do,
count of the icy cold out there. They
can skate all the year round, except
about one thaw there is in summer.
If they walked about like natives they
would catch cold directly and die of
bronkitis. We put clothes on which
are nearly like our bodies, some have
caps, coats and trousers, but women
and girls wear hats and frocks to tell
who they are"

Study Your Sheep.

The feed consumed by one cow will
usually support five sheep, and, with
good care, the returns from the sheep
will often be greater than from the
cow. Those who raise sheep are able
to advise concerning the best breeds
for different localities, and can give
valuable pointers on the care of the
animals. Experience, however, is the
best teacher in this respect and be-
fore investing any large amount in
sheep, it would be wise to obtain a
few and study their habits carefully.
Short legged animals are best for gen.
eral purposes.

! ORkING along the line
n of securing the great
wv est results in protec-
" ton against fire, with
a minimum of expendi-
ture, the forest service has decided
to establish on the most advantageous
points of the national forests in the
west a series of lookout stations from
which news of the breaking out or
forest fires can be telephoned to FOR
est officials.
Since all of these stations will COM
mand a view of the country for miles
around, the work of detecting and ex-
tinguishing fires in their inc1piency
will, by this plan, be greatly expe-
dited, with the result that many thou
sands of dollars worth of valuable
timber will be saved annually.
In most of the national forest states
the climate is very dry, and the rain
fall light. Conditions, therefore, are
remarkably favorable for the spread
of fire and extraordinary diligence is
necessary in patroling dangerous
areas. To administer the vast area
included in the national forests, APP
proximately 195,0000OO acres, the
government has about 1,400 men in
the field If each man could be used
for fire patrol, he would have to
cover approximately $4,000 acres.
AS a matter of fact, however, the vol
ume OF business on the national for
ests has grown to such proportions
that less than twenty-five per cent of
the force is valuable. This makes it
necessary to spread an average mans
service over nearly four times $4,000
acres, decreasing fire protection far
below the point of safety in many
cases.
In the face of this, however, fire
losses on the national forests are kept
at point where they are trivial when
compared with the damage which
would be caused were the lands con-
tanned in the national forests unpro-
tected
A lookout station has been estab-
lished on Shuteye peak in the high
Sierras, for the purpose of watching
for any fires which might occur in the
mountains. This peak has an eleva-
ton of S,S5S feet and the observer
commands view of large portion of
Tuolumne. MADEIRA and Fresno coun-
ties, in California.
A cabin constructed at the top of
the mountain and a telephone in
stalled, connects with the forest SUI
peryisor's office in the valley and the
various ranger stations on the ST.
ezra forest. The observer is equipped
with powerful field glasses and when
a fire is discovered news is instantly
telephoned to the nearest ranger.
During the short time the station
has been maintained its usefulness has
twice been demonstrated by the dis
covery of fires in remote localities.
These were readily extinguished be-
fore they could gain dangerous head
wav. thus saving valuable timber and
forage which might otherwise have
been devastated had not the fires been
discovered in their incipiency.

The forest service is planning to es
tablish several other similar stations
in the Sierras which will virtually

tains and in this manner remove the
necessity for constant patrol on the
part of the rangers scattered through
out the hills. Much of the rangers
time can now be devoted to trail and
other improvement work without in
terfering with their availability for
fighting fires, and the nervous strain
under which many of the men lsbored
when constantly patroling has been
materially reduced. The telephone on
the national forest is not only of the
greatest assistance in the manage
ment of the forest, but it's value is in
estimable when used to report or
summon help for a fire. In a single
case of forest fire it may be worth the
entire cost of it's construction. No
other work of improving the forests
dents in their vicinity.
In the summer of 1905 Secretary
Wilson and United States Forester
Clifford Pinchot, after going over large
areas of little developed and almost
unexplored national forest land, de.
cided that systems of telephones, with
proper connections, would be inval-
liable on the forests of the west.
It was not until some time later,
however, when congress made a spe-
cific appropriation for the improve
ment of the national forests, that
funds were available for this purpose.
Last year 5000 miles of telephone
lines were constructed on the 148 ma
tional forests in the west, and wire to
build about 400 miles of additional
line was shipped to the various for
ests, but with the funds on hand the
work of construction could not be COM
pleted.
A town in southern Utah, with
about 1000 inhabitants, was isolated

! road station until a telephone line
| was built by the forest service across
the mountainous country for 40 miles,
thus connecting the town, the head
quarters of the forest and several

| ton.
From two to five ranger stations are
now connected with the supervisors
office on many of the national forests,
and by the use of phones in the homes
of settlers centrally located other
points on the forest are reached. The
marked saving in time otherwise re-
quired for a trip of from 20 to 40
miles is evident.
On some forests lookout stations"
have been established to which wire
is run and a man stationed in the
vicinity, so that he can climb the
point of vantage several times each
day and with his glass sweep over the
landscape in every direction, quickly
scanning an area of two or three hun.
bred thousand acres. 1t is by such
| plans that fire patrol and fire control
| have been established on the national
! forests with an exceedingly small pro-
tective fore, and damage from fire
has been reduced to a minimum.

SCHEME FOR POULTRY HOUSE
Best Arrangement Is Tight Building
Adjoining Open One for Day
and Night Use.

One of the greatest expenses that
any poulterer has is the buildings he
requires. Most of us think it neces-
sary to keep poultry in buildings, but
unquestionably part of these build
ings may be open and inexpensive,
and yet affording protection from
wind, snow and rain, writes HOLSTER
Sage in Farmers Voice. The best
arrangement is a tight building
adjoining an open one, the former for
night occupancy and laying, where
the fowls may be shut in if the
weather be extreme. This need be
only one-third the size Of the open
shed, but must join it, so the hens
need not go out in the wind and
snow. The floor of this shed must be
made of matched stuff SO that no
wind can come up through it, and
should be covered six inches deep with
litter. Into this the whole grain is
