Locating Henhouses.

Farmers who locate their poultry
houses with the front toward the
sunny side, who keep the fowls well
supplied with extra scratch food, grit
and balanced rstions and protects
them at all times from dampness and
chills at night, will have no trouble to
get full egg basket, says a writer in
an exchange. The soil should be of a
light type, so the poultry can easily
scratch and dust themselves in order
TO get rid of the mites and lice. 1t is
necessary to drain off any water that
may settle in hollows and later be-
come foul. The henhouse should be
protected from the north wind by the
barn. l prefer the management Of a
hennery by making winter and its sur.
roundings as nearly like summer as

dred times in my chicken career that
we who were educating the farmers"
were raising sickly, constitutionally
weak chickens. and then to go on to a
farm and see running around the
barnyard, without apparent attention
or care, thrifty robust, lively chick
ems. The farmer Is the best poultry
man in the country. We are the slaves
of the dogma of the feather and the
standard, and the farmer produces
the eggs.
The way to develop the poultry in
dustry-one way-is to stop advocat-
ing pure-bred or standardized fowls
for the farmer. The way for the
farmer to increase his profits is to
get away from the dunghill idea and
to avoid fancy-bred fowls. He should
decide on the type of fowl to breed
and forget the names of the breeds.
Let him decide, bearing in mind the
conditions of his markets. whether he
wants an egg type or a small fowl;
meat type. large fowl; or a general
purpose or medium-sized fowl, and
then purchase pure-bred males or the
proper type and of good vigor, and
grade up his flock. The way for the
farmer to start in the poultry business
is to buy a few cross-bred fowls. or
eggs from cross.bred fowls from his
neighbor, and then use pure-bred
males to grade up his flock.
Feather is all right, pure-bred fowls
are all right. but the question is, shall
the farmer make feathers and fancy
points OF primary or legendary i'm
portance. 1t is no use talking to the
farmer about fancy points, or about
standard or perfection. unless we can
show him that there is some connec-
tion between theri and productive
qualities. He is not concerned about
such things. He is concerned about
supplying the market with poultry
and eggs.

seems to me that that Is the way to
begin. The country wants eggs and
poultry. and we cannot get these by
building on a foundation OF feathers

Poultry breeders have been telling
us for years that the pure-bred poul-

But has any one ever been able to
demonstrate by careful experiments

ordinary farmyard fowl?
