There is hope yet in Montpelier. The
solons from the country who wish to
get home to their respective households,
shops, banks or farms have had Sc
rious discussion on the question of mile
age. The assessment of the state at
the rate OF 10 cents mile seems 10

frequent trips home, they ought to take
out of the taxpayers pockets only the
cost of the trip.
Moreover, in addition to the forced
holdup of the taxpayers, there is an.
other thing, namely the fact that the
man who travels loo miles each way
gets net profit from his trip of six
teen dollars. That Is nice little bunch

the queen mother has given him has

The young king has crammed many
narrow escapes from death into his

DON'T PEN TURKEYS.

Don't keep turkeys penned while
fattening. They resent it and some
times lose their appetite. A turkey
needs exercise and will not thrive long
in close quarters. 1t is good plan
to have a house or shed, with remov-
able roosts, for the turkeys to stay in
at night One side, or at least doors
and windows, should be fitted with
poultry-netting to give ventilation.
When the turkeys are to be caught,
remove the roosts, as they interfere
with the work. If turkeys get their
will, they are sure to roost upon the
highest trees, or roof of building.

CHOLERA.

Aside from roup, there is no other
disease so dreaded by the poultry
man as cholera, and when it once
gets foothold in a flock it is very
hard to check. The symptoms of chol-
era are dumpishness and diarrhea,
the excrement being of greenish-
yellow color. The bird loses flesh
rapidly and the disease generally
proves fatal in three or four days.
Cholera is a highly contagious dis
ease and can be transmitted from one
fowl to another through the drinking
water or soft food, or even by whole
grain when it comes in contact with
the excrement of the ailing bird. Re
move all birds that show symptoms
Of disease, feed lightly on a warm
mush composed Of equal parts of
ground oats, wheat bran and mid.
dlings. with a little flour mixed ia.
Mix with scalding-hot milk and seAr
son with red pepper. Make the mash
crumbly, not sloppy. Get one-quarter
pound each Of powdered sulphur, cop
peras, capsicum and alum, mix thor
oughly, and add tablespoon for each
dozen birds to the mash three times
day. Supply clean water and grit,
and If they do not improve in forty
eight hours kill them and burn the
carcasses.-Colman's Rural World.

POULTRY NOTES.

The chicken louise breathes thru
it's skin, therefore any substance that
penetrates the skin causes death from
guffocation.
Sunfower seed and oil meal are
both feeds that furnish fine glossy
feathers, also promote egg produc-
ton, yet are too rich in fats to be
fed generously.
If hens are kept busy they will be
much happier and healthier, and will
be much more profitable for their
owners. Keeping busy is fine for
both the hens and their owners.
Keep the hens scratching in dry lit
ter, up to their bodies; this means
deep litter for us-who keep Langshans.
but see that there is some induce
ment for them to scratch.
Those who have a good basement
and furnace under the house, have
the finest chance for running incuba-
tors and raising early broilers. No
breeders are necessary.
1t is generally conceded that there
is a certain shape which a fowl must
have in order to produce the greatest
number of eggs.
An oblong body, an equal breast
and posterior part divided at the
shanks, is the rule. The White Ply
mouth Rock seems to possess this
shape more than any one other breed.
There should be depth too, so there
10 room for the digestive organs to
do lots of work.
Study your pullets and hens; select
the "egg shape much as you would
the milk shape" If purchasing a
mitch COW.
Dispose Of those not some where
near the egg shape, and give better
care to those left.

OPEN AIR HOUSES.


1t seems We are creeping back to-
wards nature in poultry housing, the
very tight, or the artificial heated
houses not filling the bill as was eX-
pected. We get the following descrip-
ton from the "R. P. J." of Septem-
ber:
Mr. John W. Dwinell, Of Topsfeld,
Mass, built an experimental WOODS
Open Air Poultry House, and tried II
out last winter, two types of open
air houses were built, and both have
proven much more satisfactory tnan
the closed buildings, the WOODS
house proved the favorite as it ap-
peared the dryest. The Woods house
has a scratching part to the south or
the roost room and there are monitor
windows along the south roost room.

boarded floor was built, and set on
posts above the ground, inverted met
al caps were placed on the posts
In addition to protecting from rats,
this plan causes the house to be much
drier. especially the floor part, and
keeping dry is an essential part OF
poultry success Hens need "dry"
quarters as we'll as intelligent coun-
ties.
The fowls were confined to this
house all winter, the entire southside

Of all the chicks were strong and
thrifty. Egg yield exceptionally good
all winter. In severe cold weather
the water in drinking pail was skim
med with ice, while in the closed
houses, on the same nights, water
froze solid.
Mr.. Dwinell is certain from his ex-
perience that the open front poultry
house is best for the fowls, is warm
er than a closed building. is more
comfortable at all times, that fowls
keep in better condition, lay better,
and produce more chicks
Why will water freeze harder in
the closed houses? Because of the
poorer ventilation, and the moisture
from the confined fowls. The open
front house allows volume Of pure
air to enter all the time, enough to
mix with and drive out the impure
moisture laden air. Then on sunny
days, how coy it is in the scratch
shed.
Aside from the open front, the set
ting of the house on posts is its best
feature, for this insures the maximum
Of dryness, and nothing is more es'
sential than dryness, especially to
the fowls feet Where fowls run at
large notice how much happier they
are and how much better they lay OF
