Fattening crates ure usually made
six feet long, Is to 20 inches high and
l8 inches wide. The crate Is divided
into three compartments, each holding
from four to six birds, according TO
the size of the chicken. The crate
is made Of Stats usually one and a
half inches wide by five-eighths inch
thick. Those in front are placed two
inches apart to allow the birds to put
their heads through fo- feeding. The
Stats on the bottom are placed three
fourths of an inch apart allowing
the dropping to go through. Care
should be taken not to have the first
bottom Stat at the back At too closely
against the back, or the droppings
will collect and decompose. The
Stats On the bottom should be one inch
by one-half inch, and run lengthwise
of the crate. The Stats on the back
and top are usually two inches apart.
A frame is made of one and one-half

in their places. During warm weather
these crates may be placed out of
doors.

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct. ID. 1908, and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be a wa.
ter blister would form. When 1t
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blisters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were a mass Of
scabs and you could not see a par
ticle of clear skin. Other parts Of
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent. We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, in
deed some of them only added to his
suffering and n in particular, the
- Remedy, almost put the infant
into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told us to
battle the baby in buttermilk. This
did not do any good, SO we took him
to a hospital. He was treated as an
out-patient twice a week and he got
worse, If anything. We then called
in another doctor and inside of a
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
was don But h very next day 1t
broke out as bad as ever.
I'VE decided that it could not be
cured and must run it's course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival in Duluth, the Cuti-
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and soon the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin Der
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease. There has
been no return this time. We still

up the lettuce and feeding it In the

Rape is a good plant to grow for
the fowls. The seeds are quite large
and SO terminate easily. If the fowls

off and rape seed sown on it. The
rape will grow rapidly, ever If the
soil is not dug up. The fowls should
be turned into it when it has reached
a height of about one foot. They
will strip the sides of the leaf and
leave the stems and mid-veins. AS
soon as the poultry are taken out of
the yard for a time, the plants will
begin to push out new growth from
the stems and mid-veins, and this
process can be continued all summer.
There is a saying that hens and
gardens do not go well together. This
is a mistake; the hens can be turned
