inside, have a curtain on a pole that
can be dropped down, closing the
opening in stormy weather. We keep
Leghorns in such house and have
never had a frosted comb.
The house should be free from
cracks or knot-holes on both sides
and back, for this would create
draft which would be injurious. The
nest boxes can be made of soap boxes.
Do not nail them, but so arrange as
to be taken out and cleaned when
ever needed.
How to Guard Against Mites.
I use sassafras roosting poles. as
they are almost, not quite, mite
proof, but l make them so in this
way: Cut them six inches shorter
than the length of the house, tack
cleats on them two feet apart, and
suspend them % to feet from the
hen house floor with No. IL galvan-
lied wire. Draw the four ends OF
the wire together and form a loop.
and fasten these loops to the middle
roof rafter. thus making a swing
roost, almost vermin proof.
To make assurance doubly sure, we
tie small punches OF raw cotton
around the wire midway between the
roost and the roof and saturate this
cotton about once a week with kero-
sene oil. and 1t is very few mites tina
ever bother our chickens The whole
thing Is simple and effective, and
costs but an hours work.
We find that piano boxes. second
hand, when We can get them. make
the best houses for a cock and twelve
hens. Boxes usually cost $3.50, and
for $3.50 more. you can buy all other
material necessary-roofing, hinges
for door. and wire for front. Try II
and see.

danger from fire.
Our homemade brooders were

feet long and two feet wide In the

the box II was boarded up tightly.
The upper floor was stripped only
with an inch or more between each

There is a great deal OF misinforaa,
ton about the care Of the hair and the
cause Of hair getting gray premature
". 1t used to be believed that in some
families gray hair was hereditary, like
blue eyes or quick temper. Science,
however, has proved that gray hair is
simply a lack of the proper hair food,
and is in every case an individual
problem. Premature gray hair is cas-
lily preventable, and when It first ap-
pears all that is necessary is to apply
some reliable hair food such as HAYS
