POULTRY HOUSES.

ROULI7hx EOO0BSs
w. s. Jacobs in a bulletin from the
Arkansas station, gives the following
directions for the building of poul-
try houses:
Every hen should be allowed six
square feet of floor space. Each
bird of the Plymouth Rock, Wyan-
dotte and other general purpose
breeds requires about nine inches OF
perch room. Leghorns, Minorcas,
Spanish, ETC., 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 perches. Roosts should BIZ
made all of the same height. For.
If they are made some higher than
; the 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 should
by twenty 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 rooss
may be- made from material 2x2
inches. then slightly rounded ON the
edges.
Many use old boxes for nests, but
If near the ground are liable to in
duce egg-eating. To- prevent this
use dark nests. Nests are usually
made from twelve to fifteen inches
square Dirt floors are, as rule,
more satisfactory and much cheaper
than board floors, and have the ad.
ditional advantage of not providing
hiding place for rats, weasels, etc.
The floor should be at least six inches
above the surrounding ground. This
can be accomplished by filling in with
sand and gravel From time to time
this filling should be taken out and
renewed, otherwise it is liable to be-
come foul.
Cement foundations are best and
cheapest in the end, but posts or
stones at the corners serve we'll.
The building should always be con-
structed in the spring or early SUM
mer, in order that it may dry out
before the fowls have to be housed

FARM NOTES.

The skim milk and manure are both
substantial dairy assets of no mean
proportion.
Every state and section that has
increased the dairy industry has in
creased its soil fertility in sub
stantial way.
Keeping a record OF each cows
production is the way to see which
are profitable and which improbable
boarders.
It usually does not pay to doctor
sick fowls unless they. are valuable
breeders or show birds. Always re-
move a sick fowl from the main flock
as soon as the earliest symptom OF
illness Is noticed.
Secretary Hall, of the New York
State Dairymen's Association, says
he believes that the sanitary milk
question has been carried too far.
He thinks that milk reasonably Clean

COOKING FBEp FOR STOCK.

A few years ago many stockmen
were induced to cook more or less
feed for their cattle and hogs. Cook
ing feed was especially popular
with some hog feeders. The prac-
tice is still in vogue but to a very
limited extent. Some have reported
profitable results from cooking feed.
but the method has never become
popular and probably never will, says
Farmers Tribune.
Cooking feed adds nothing to its
nutritive value, in fact 1t detracts
from it. A large number of tests
conducted at 5 or 10 OF our expert
ment stations have conclusively
shown that there is an actual loss
in the nutritive value of cooked as
compared with raw grain. The loss
Is estimated at about nine per cent.
This Is especially true OF feeds rich
In protein. When they are cooked
the proteids coagulate and lose part
of their digestibility. Such products
as potatoes, which are very rich in
starch and contain practically no
proteids are benefited by cooking
because cooking breaks up the starch
granules.
FERTILIZING VALUE or CLOVER

tural assembly. referring to the ex-
hapstion of the prairie soil by con-
tinous grain cropping, said he knew

wheat seventeen years without man.
ure, and had become so poor that
the crop did not pay for harvesting.
The owner seeded 1t to Glow
err, which grew well. He cut
three crops of clover hay,
then reversed the soil, planted corn
without manureand got crop as
good. or better, than the land had
ever produced in the years of IT'S
greatest natural fertility. This ex-
pertinent shows that clover does
have the power to draw fertilizing ma
terial from the air, or the sub-soil,
or probably from both. 1t is In &C
cord with our own experience for
many years.-Weekly Witness.

HYPNOTTSM BRINGS
BACK HIS MEMORY

New Haven, Conn.-Charles Oster
of New York, who has been a patient
in Grace hospital since the night Of
December 10, when he was found
wandering In the streets unable to tel
his name or address. was placed un-
der hypnotic influence by DR., Allan
r. Deffendorf
While in this state in reply to sew
eral questions he stated that he for
merly lived on Forty-second street
New York; that he had spent two
years in San Francisco after arriving
in this country from Germany. and
also gave the name of lace manufac-
turer in New York to whom he was
formerly employed, and the New York
police have been requested to make
search for his relatives.
Osten was asked after he arose
from his bed this morning the same
questions that he had answered last
night while under hypnotic influences,
but was unable to give satisfactory re-
plies. He said he had dreamed about
and about trying to reach New York.
When taken to the hospital osten
seemer to be suffering from a wound
on the head, and there are signs that
his skull had been trephined. A slight
operation was performed and a small
piece OF the skull was removed. This
seemed to award some relief, but the
memory OF the injured man failed to
return.

KNIFE TO CURE CRIMINAL.
Surgical Operation Will Be Performed
OH Head OF Lawbreaker.

Los Angeles.-If the operation to be
performed upon him is successful
! John Clarence Quintin will be trans
| formed from a criminal into a quiet
law-abiding man. He is now confined
in the psycophatic ward of the county
hospital, where the operation will be
performed by Dr. D. c. Barber.
Quntin is 90 years old. Fifteen
months ago he was a hard-working
young man, with no bad habits. Then
in some way, he received a blow upon
the head. 1t changed his entire ma
ture.
He became a source of uneasiness
and shame to his relatives. He de-
veloped into an idle, untruthful and
dangerous man, and was at last ar
rested for having forced a merchant,
at the point of a revolver, to cash
forged check. Convicted Of this Of
fense. he was placed upon probation
because there was some question as
to his mental condition.
The only explanation of the sudden
change in the mans nature fifteen
months ago was the blow upon the
head. The doctors decided that the
blow fractured Quintin's skull and a
portion OF the bone was driven into
the brain. They hope to make Quin-
tin sane and normal man by remov-
ing this fragment Of bone.
The result of the operation will be
watched with great interest by sur
geons and students of criminology.

CENTRAL EASTERN OREGON SEEMS
ASSURED Of A RAILROAD At LAST

Central Oregon Is to have its Ions
desired railroad. That much has beer
determined by E. H. Hartman says
the Portland Journal. The chances
are said to be in favor Of the ultimate
selection of the Des Chutes route out
Of three that Mr.. Hartman and the
directors of his lines are now consid-
! ering In detail and 1t is highly pro-
bable that work will begin in the
early spring, as soon as the weather
will permit grading and construction
work.
j. p. O'Brien vlce-president and gen.
eral manager of the Hartman lines in
| Oregon returned yesterday afternoon
from months trip to New York.
While in the east he laid the entire
planned the situation to them min
utely 1t Is known that Mr.. O'Brien
himself favors the Des Chutes route
although it has been found since the
first estimate of $2,OOO,OOO was for
warded to New York that the road
would cost just double that amount.
Need New Line.
Mr. Hartman and the directors of
the Southern Pacific realize the necec-
sity for immediate construction of a
Central Oregon line. The panic Of last
year delayed all new projects tempor-
arily and the fact that the earnings of
the o. r. ? n for the past month
show a decrease over those of the cor
responding month of last year makes
them think twice before authorizing
the expenditure of several million dol
lars for new railroad building, es-
pecially as it is claimed by the officials
that 1t will be several years before the
traffic will begin to pay even the cost
OF operation, to say nothing of maxi
ing a return on the investment.
Road to Bend.
The objective point of each of the
three lines now under consideration by
Mr.. Hartman is Bend in Crook
The line which Mr.. O'Brien
has recommended follows the Des
Chutes river from the mouth, where
II is crossed by the main line of the !
o. r. &? n. to point near the north
ern boundary of Crook county, where |
II branches east and south, passing |
through Madras, Lamonta. O'Neil, |
Redmond and down to Bend. The |
first section of this line-that part |
running through the canyon of the |
Des Chutcs river-involves some tre-
mendous engineering feats and will
be a most difficult and expensive piece
Of road to build. 1t would bring the
cost of the line up to 81. 100000. In
spite OF this excessive cost however,
his route has the great advantage of
havirg practically dowr grade all
he way to the Columbia. The steep
EST grade to be met with is 1.5 per
cent, which is practically nothing.

Third Route.
The third route Is an extension OF
the Columbia Southern, which now
runs from Biggs, on the o. r. e. n,
to Shaniko This is generally consid-
cred the most undesirable of the three
under consideration. 1t would be the
cheapest to constructive estimate

consideration the fact that the Biggs-
Shaniko line is complete at present.
1t would be necessary to build south

climbing of several grades with a
maximum rise of 140 feet-or some
thing more than 2.6 per cent to the

made and submitted to Mr.. Harri-
man and Mr.. Kruitschnitt. 1t Is
a certainty that before long this line
will be built by Hartman, will con-
meet with the central Oregon line and
will give a down grade from practi-
cally all of the state of Oregon into
Portland. This road connecting up
with the new central oregon line will
insure to Portland the trade of the
great central and southeastern Ore
gon country. 1t will be possible to
start a loaded car from ontario and
have it practically roll into Portland.
Il will also be used as the main line
for through service of the o. r. &

.ance between Portland and the east. |
