house with three-ply roofing paper
these were covered up and we had a
nice looking, warm and dry house.
The window in front Is 3x4 feet and
Is hinged so 1t can be easily opened for
ventilation. At the end Of the house
made smaller window of ten panes of
glass. These window openings are
covered on the outside with 1b-inch
mesh wire screen. We have an inside
door of lath, which we can close and
leave outside one open on mild days in
winter when the ground is covered
with snow and we don't want the
chickens out, or at night in summer.
1t required four squares of roofing
paper to cover the entire house, which
cost us about $3.75. We buy Sx10
glass by the box of 100 panes; so the
rs panes cost about 81 cents. and the
wire netting for windows rs cents.
l built the house four years ago and
1t is as good as ever, excepting the
roof, which was damaged by very
hard hail storm last spring. We put
new paper on top of old, and 1t is now
as good as new.-Mrs ]. E. Thompson,

The MiIk IMMUNITY.

The milk producers of Northern I'LL
nois have decided TO resurrect a dor
mant industry in their fight against
the milk trust They are considering
plants to re-establish their own
creameries which were sold to the Bor-
den Company ten or fifteen years ago
These will act as an outlet for thelr
product IL the association does not sue
ceed in establishing its own distribut
ing depot in Chicago, which is looked
upon as more than a possibility. FIJI
teen years ago the Northern Illinois
section was dotted with creameries
established by the farmers, many OF
them being run on the cooperative
plan. This was when the Borden
Company was beginning to branch out
Offers Of purchase were made to ia

Explorer. BeIlevs Peary.

The new element of distrust thrown
about the story OF Commander Peary
by the refusal OF the House Commit
tee to favor special honors for his dis
covery of the North Pole has brought
out a defense from two noted polar
explorers Knud Rasmussen, the Dam
ish expert in Arctic travel, is quoted
as saying that the length of sledge
journeys which Peary claims to have
made Is not impossible. Rasmussen
himself says he has Travelled on sledges
from seventy to 100 miles in a day.
But still he thinks 1t a little strange
that Peary made those wonderful
marches on his return journey from
the pole when his dogs must have been
very tired. Rasmussen thinks Peary
should give all his data to Congress.
From London comes an interview with
Lieut. Shackleton, who holds the Ant
arctic record. He says one can not
have the slightest doubt of Peary'a

A bulletin from Cornell University
gives the results of record of few
hundred hens kept in 1902 as go cents
per dozen for the average feed cost of
eggs throughout the year. Some figures
published in Farm Poultry gave the
record Of large number OF poultry
keepers, which shows the average cost
of eggs per dozen in winter as Is
cents, In summer 81 cents. Undee

FntteninE Fowls.

Buckwheat meal is very good to use
In fattening chickens, but should be
used in preference mixed, half of its
bulk OF other meal, choice being given
to cornmeal or ground oats. To fatten
fowl you should commence doing
so exactly eighteen days before the
fowl or fowls are needed for killing
or for marketing, as after eighteen
days of fattening they begin to lose
flesh instead Of gaining it-A. v.

Poultry House for Five Dollars.
We have two poultry houses made
from rough lumber, sawed from tree
out of the woods, and covered with
shingles, but the cheapest one we have
! made out of scraps of lumber found
around the barn and lumber pile-such
as can be found on most farms Inside
measurements are 10x12 feet, 51a feet
high in front, feet at back and 715
feet at the comb. which is 3 feet from
front.
We like this shape and size Of house
very much and IL we were building
another, think we would build the

and easy to get around in It.

The smallest cows in the world are
found In the Samoan Islands. Tho
average weight Of the males does moi
exceed 200 pounds. The females aver
age about 100 pounds. they are very
stockily built and are seldom taller
than a merino sheep. In color these
cattle are nearly all alike, a reddish
mouse color marked with white. They
have very large heads, and their horns
are of exceptional length.
Fastening Wires to Small Posts,
If you are using hedge fence posts
especially small ones, the only sure
way to fasten the barb wire to them
is to wire it with hay wire. The
staples might possibly stick at first
but the chances are that there will
be a crack at that point and the sta
pie will drop out or be pulled out soon
er or later.
