ing 60 from there out into the cold
air, they are apt to take cold, which
frequently develops into roup. The
question to be settled is, will not the
inside of this building become SO
warm when the curtain is down as to
create condition that will produce
ailments among the fowls?
Poultrymen all over the world have
reached the conclusion that the colony
system is the best for poultry. Fowls
kept confined in small houses and
yards lose their vigor and vitality;
those grown on the range are much
more vigorous and show greater wi.
tally than yarded fowls.

The following remedy is recon.
mended:
For trees seriously injured: Cut
the trees back to stubs Of the main
limbs and apply barnyard manure or
commercial fertilizer, seven to eight
pounds per tree, in spring. The fol.
lowing formula is suggested for com.
mercial fertilizer: Phosphoric acid,
eight per cent; nitrogen, five per
cent; potash. two per cent. Give a
second application of three or four
pounds per tree about the first Of
June. Apply in circle equal to the
spread of the limbs and rake, hoe, or
disk into the soil. Apply a thick
coat of whitewash by means of q
broom, the last week in March or
during the first two weeks in April.
Give second application the second
week in July; and a third about the
first Of October. Add one-fourth pound
of table salt to each pail of whitewash
to make is stick longer.
For trees seemingly healthy and
slightly attacked or liable to attack:
Fertilize, cultivate and whitewash.
In all cases carefully burn all trim.

with muslin. At each end of the
house toward the front are doors
through which the attendants pass in
caring for the fowls; this is shown by
the floor plan. The roosts are in the
rear of the building; in placing the
roosts, nine inches of space is pro.
vided for each fowl. The dropping.
board is about three feet from the
floor and open beneath. Self-feeding
hoppers, which are kept filled with
beef scrap, grit, charcoal and shell
are placed at each end of the building.
In the center is large feed hopper
which is kept filled with dry mash
Four round earthen crooks are used
for water. The nest boxes are in the
front between the glass windows and
below the curtain windows, and are
arranged so as to be out of the way,
and the shape of the top prevents the
hens roosting on them. The floors of
the house are cement and are covered
over with cut straw as litter.

MODERN HEN HOUSES
AND COLONY SYSTEM BEST
Practical Poultry Many Changes and
improvements In Order to Secure
Results from Large

Since the first open-front poultry
house was brought to the notice of
breeders great many changes and
improvements have been made, says a
writer in the Country Gentleman. Too
much and too little ventilation has
been tried; too much is as bad as too
little. The one necessary feature is to
provide the proper supply of fresh air.
The small building is 20 feet long
and IL feet wide. This has TWO glass
windows in the 'front.'. each window
containing Is panes of Sx10-inch glass.
In the center, there is large open
space ten feet long and four feet
wide; inside of this is a roll curtain
made of cotton duck, which is left
open during all kinds of weather, ex-
cepting wet and below zero. The
nests are in the rear; one is open and
the other closed. The eggs are gath
cred from the front through the nest
door. The hens fly up from the floor
on to board Or platform. called the
alighting board, and enter the nests
from the rear
We do not wish to criticise this
house; we simply call attention to the
fact that with so large an opening, the
hens on the roosts at night are almost
as much exposed as they would be out
in the open. The curtain is rolled
down and fastened with hooks and
eyelets about the inside of the frame.
The question to be settled satisfac-
torily is whether the hens in house
like this, with the window open night
and day in all kinds of weather ex-
cepting rain, snow or below zero
, weather, will be sufficiently comfort
able to produce eggs in winter. The
second question is, if exposed to the
open-air conditions during the greater

In order to be successful with the
colony system, large flocks are kept,
because it is more economical and
they are more easily handled. The
average farmer keeps from 300 to 500
hens; If house can be built in which
this number can be kept all the year
round. great advantage will be &C.
cured. 1t is easier to feed and water
flock of 500 than to feed and water
four flocks of so; it is easier to clean
and care for one house. even though
it be large, than for four small houses.
II 500 hens can be kept in one house
and produce yield of eggs during the
entire winter, great advantage is
gained
Locality is an important factor
Poultry can be more closely housed
in California, Maryland and the Caro-
linas than in New York and states
farther north. The house we will de.
scribe is located on the Rancocas
poultry farm, in the pine district of
New Jersey. Last winter there were
FL days in which the hens were con-
fined to the building; this winter
there has been more snow. and the
hens have been more confined than
before. In the building to be described,
500 laying hens and the proper num-
Der of males with each flock have
been housed all winter. The house is
placed in the center of a three-acre
field; about the house there is suf-
f'cient growth of scrub oak and pine
trees to furnish shelter and shade for
all kinds of weather.
The house is 16 feet wide and 100
feet long; there are eight glass win
dows in front, each one of which con-
tains Is panes of 8x10-inch glass. Be-
tween these windows are frames 21%

BARK BEETLES DO
MUCH DAMAGE
Two Species Iniure Peach and
Cherry Trees-F1ow to
Eradicate Them,

Last year two species of barb
beetles caused great damage to peach
and cherry trees in various quarters
Of the state. especially in northern
Ohio on the Marblehead peninsula
One species. scolytus rugulosus, com
monty known as the shot hole borer
is an old offender and attacks nearly
all varieties of fruit trees and some
forest trees. The second species,
Phloeotribus liminaris. which has
been called the peach bark beetle is a
comparatively new pest and largely
confines its injuries to cherry and
peach. The work Of the two species is
very similar. The adult beetles bore
through places in the bark of living
or dead trees. into dead peach or
cherry wood piled up for stovewood,
into the twigs of brush heaps or into
any suitable wood upon which they
can feed and in which make brood
chambers.
When they enter the living sapwood
of peach and cherry and make gal
leries through the same, their pres.
ence is nearly always indicated by ex-
cessive exudations Of gum from the
infested trunks and limbs. Weakened
trees are preferred by the beetles
but those ip perfect health may be so
repeatedly attached that they finally
offer the right conditions for breeding,
and the insects. then mass their at
tack on the exhausted trees, making
short work Of their final destruction,
