MOTHER

SANTA CRUZ, Cal, July 25.-
During a quarrel between Mrs.
Mary Wood and her son-in-law,
DIR. George Dresbach, at Vine Hill,

shot and killed the physician. Her
defense is that DR.. Dresbach struck
her and had beaten his wife.
Mrs. Wood, who is IS years old,
told the police the trouble started
when DR.. Dresbach became angry
over trifling matter. When az
tackled, she said, she backed into
a bedroom, obtained a revolver
from grip and then shot her as
sailant. DR.. Dresbach fell with the
first shot, which penetrated his
lungs. AS he lay on the floor Mrs.
Wood shot him a second time.

using no glass windows unless neces-
sary for light. n idea Of building
a warm house should be abandoned.
It is shelter that is needed The house
should be built in such a way that the
fowls will not roost near the open
front where they would be exposed
to winds: O should it face the pre-
vailing winds. A long house is more
expensive to build, for a given capac-
ity. than one more nearly square. A
long, narrow house is also a cold
house. having more exposed surface
for a given capacity than a square
house.
The size of house necessary for a
certain flock will vary in different
sect Pms. Where there is little or
no snow and where the fowls can be
outdoors every day in the year, two
square feet Of floor space per fowl
will be ample. Where h climate
is such that the fowls will seek shell
ter part of the year, rather than go
outdoors on the range, considerably
more space should be provided. say
four to five square feet per fowl. The
idea should not be to crowd them
so much that their activity will be in
terfered with. Whether the shelter
is provided by enlargfng the house O"
providing cheap scratching sheds, is
immaterial. Two square feet per fowl.
or even less, Is ample for roosting
Qu11
Roosts should be made low or near
the ground-not Ugh than two feet.
There are several reasons for this.
Fowls Of the heavier breed cannot fly
high, ard those OF the lighter breeds

RoOsts should be made all the same

When droppin" boards are used they
should be low down, to permit Of easy
cleaning. They should be made Of
matched lumber and be 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 rOOst may be made
from material two by two inches, then
slightly rounded on the edges.

fowls in small houses, preferably por-
table, where the fowls have free range.
The chief advantage is that the fowls
are more active or buster than when
confined in yards: second, there is less
danger from outbreaks Of disease. as
it is possible to keep the houses on
clean ground by moving them occa-
sionally; and third, the fowls require
less feeding and care, as they pick
ur considerable food on the range.
Another advantage of this system is
that the fowls will rid the farm Of
many injurious insects, such as grass
hoppers Then, the colony system will

HOUSES FOR POUU TRY
Where the Colony System Prevails Poultry Keeping is Most Sur
cessfuI; the Fowls are More Active and There is Less Danger
From Disease

The main requirements OF a good
poultry house are good ventilation and
protection from storms and cold
winds.
Hens will not lay when weather
conditions prevent them from scratch
ing and exercise. Many poultry houses
have proven failures because the vari-
atoms il night and day temperature
were too great. Prominent ~uthorltle
on the building Of poultry houses
state that ventilation can best be fur
nished by leaving one end Of the house
open or covered with burlap Of canvas.
