Open.Front Houses.

A few years ago the open.front poul.
try'house was practically unknown.
The tendency at that time was to con.
struct houses that were very tight and
ventilated by the opening OF windows.
and In many instances by means OF
hues and cupolas. This type OF house.
as u rule. was more or less damp and
II did not take many years FOR pro.
gressive men to realize that damp
houses meant cold houses and an
abundance OF disease.
The result has been gradual In.
crease In the amount OF fresh air In
the house and less attention given to
warmth until today We have what IL
known as the open or cloth front
house. One can still find, however,
many types Of poultry.houses. but the
open.front house Is fast becoming tho
standard for every climate.

DEEPER FLOWING is NEEDED
Great Advantage Of Method Over
0randfather's 10 That Farmer
Gets Crop at Start.

(By E. II, PARSONS. in Dry Farming
Congress Bulletin)
The popular way is to pillow sod
about three inches deep, pack 1t solid,
skim over 1t with slanted harrow:
then next season back.set 1t and play
shuttlecock with the chunks for sew
eral years until they gradually wear
out This may be easy work and good
FUN, but 1t is not farming. The aver
age yield on land prepared in this
manner is usually about one-third or
less VI fair crop.
The other way Is to first disc your
sod on a wet day, then pillow it under
at least eight inches and then tear It
all to pieces with disc and harrow.
always discing firs,. Sod can be made
into almost as fine a seed bed as old
land. and should raise more to the
acre, not less.
The art in handling sod is 10 pillow 1t
under wet Old land can be plowed
dry In the fall and allowed to ill up
with moisture. but not sod, for once
the chunks become dry they are At
only to build cabins with. Sod. when
wei on the surface. is full Of all the
bacteria Of rot and decay, and as soon
as It is plowed under commences to
ferment. and II It is turned under
eight inches aud properly mulched
with disc and harrow. no drouth. ordI.
nary or extraordinary. can stop It,
But II sod becomes dry the bacteria
are dead. your yeast il gone, and 1t is
very hard to wet It up sufficiently to
start the process again. This Is why
a man will say: Il plowed my sod
deep, but 1t stayed with me for years"
He lei 1t dry out.
II this plan is followed the chunks
will be found the next season to be
reduced to mere ashes. The great ad-
vantage OF this method over grand.
fathers way is that you obtain good
crop al the start-perhaps the best
that ever comes of the land in ques.
iion-and the difference in cost 10
hardly more than $3.50 an acre.

sod plowed eight inches and properly
fined down. and when he went to in

good as any irrigated crops about

blowing six and seven inches and just

away $1,000 year by dropping his

Fowls half fed are never In good

When the cockerels are three or

MORE MARITAL TROUBLES
The Family Disagreements OF The Stokes
Lead To Alleged Gun PLAY And A
Warrant

When John A. Stokes applied to
States Attorney N. H. Green and in
turn secured a warrant from Justice
w. d. X. Lee this morning, another
twist was given the marital troubles
of this family which have been in
the courts of this county some time.
Mr.. Stokes asked and secured a
warrant for his wife, Alice V. Stokes,
charging her with assault with in
tent to kill, following a disagree
ment in the home of the family at
Eastport this morning. The details
of the affair are not clear, but it is
alleged that following scrap be-
tween Stokes and his mother-in-law, :,
the wife came downstairs and got into
the rumpus with a revolver, which
her husband wrenched from her hand
and brought to Annapolis with him
to turn over to the States Attorney
as evidence.
The warrant sworn out was later
served on Mrs. Stokes, but the date
for hearing the case has not yet been
set, as his wife is in bed, understood
to be suffering from the excitement
and shock of the affair.
