The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-06-01

How many times we see poultry
men, or rather those who are breeding
poultry on small scale, and in many
cases farmers who do breed quite a
lot of fowls having their poultry
buildings, coops and appliances
arranged very unhandy. A few hours
or perhaps few days or a weeks
work would save twice as much time
by the end of the year if used for
arranging the work so it would be
more handy.
| believe that it would be time we'll
spent in lots of cases If one were to
move the poultry house to a more
convenient location, or to build
better one, or to make some better
arrangements for the growing of
chicks. When one is not very busy,
if things are a little unhandy. one
doesn't mind it so much, but it is
when one is SO busy with other work
that he finds bother in having things
unhandy. He has not time to change
them then and when he has time at
leisure he forgets about how unhandy
they are. Don't do that. Have all
things convenient. 1t will save you
many steps in a year. Often the
poultry house is located way out be-
yond the barn when it could have been
far more conveniently located nearer
the house and been much better both
for you and for the hens. They
would not be neglected so much il
such were the case. Locate the poul-
try in convenient place. Then again
when you go to feed the hens you go

fined to yard. Sometimes rough
piece of land can be fenced in just as
we'll as not and make good poultry
yard, the only objection being the
cost of the fence. Poultry netting
does not cost so very much. In fact,
it is the cheapest fence one can build
for poultry and it lasts for years
Invest in few rolls and make a good
yard for the fowls. Often the posts
can be cut on the farm and cost only
the time used in setting them out.
Have a good yard and then keep it in
good repair so it will be ready for use
whenever it is desired to shut them
in. 1t pays to have good yard for
them ready for use at any time.
Then make or buy a few poultry
crates or at least one crate for use
when taking poultry to market. No
use having to hunt around to get
box to carry them in, perhaps having
to go to the store to get box to carry
them In before you can lake Cnem TO
market. Get one or more crates and
keep them in good shape. Don t
throw them out to be wasted after
you use them, but store away under
cover and they will last for years.
Make several crates for shutting up
broody hens in. Keep them where
they are handy and use them the first
day you find the broody hen unless, OF
course, you want to set her.
And so on. There are lots OF such
things that one can make which will
prove useful and me-saving if he
only looks ahead and has them ready.

Having Things Handy

to the granary in one direction for a
pail of feed and then way out to the
poultry house in another direction to
feed them. Can't you arrange it SO
to have a weeks supply of grain kept
in a box at the poultry house and
thus save much time in that way?
Then IN the question Of the interior
of the poultry house often much in
convenience exists there. 1t is a
bother to clean it out the way you
have it arranged, is it? Well, make
it more convenient. Have a smooth
floor in it. Have the nests, rocsts
and fixtures movable SO you can take
them out to clean. Have good water
fountains, feed boxes and troughs.
Then keep all clean. The fowls must
not be neglected. ......-..
/ Then the coops for the growing
chicks. How many times we see a
farmers wife shutting mp the chicks
at night in an old coop by propping
up lot of boards in an effort to have
it secure from rats, skunks, etc.,
when a days work on the part of the
husband would provide her with
several nice coops that would have a
nice door with hinges and latch on it
which would be secure against all
animals and at the same time properly
ventilated inst cad of being too tight
so as TO shut out the air as is often
the case where one tries to keep the
chicks from animals in an ordinary,
old fashioned chick coop. 1t cannot
pay to allow such coops to be used.
The chicks cannot grow to the best
advantage and develop into good
stunted and make anything but good
fowls. Thus you will say there is
no profit in poultry. Give the chicks
a good chance. 1t is too late this
season to make such arrangements
for this years chicks, they being
already grown, but now is a good
time to mention such things as one
may find plenty of time through the
coming winter then he can make new
coops and fixtures which will be of
great value next summer. Do not
waste good time that you can use to
an advantage by making such articles
that will save you time and steps
next season when you are so busy.
Two or three full days work or even
an hour day for a month will do a
great lot in fixing things up. Try it
this winter.
Another thing to fix up is the poul-
try yards. This cannot be done in
the winter, but there are lots of time
during the fall and early spring when
it can be done. Oftentimes during
the summer at certain periods in the
growth of grain, it becomes necessary
to contine the fowls in order to pre-
vent them from wasting the grain,
At other times they being allowed
their liberty. Thus it is we'll for
every farmer to have as large a yard
as he can afford so as.no to stop
their LAYING when thew must be CON

and chickens don't spell success
you've got to get rid of the lice.
The simplest, surest method is to
use Llly's Lice Killer as regularly
as clock work. Whenever the fowls
are not doing we'll look for lice,
then apply Lilly's Lice Killer twice
a week. Use a sprayer or brush
covering the roost boards, ETC., and
if you have chicks, especially late
corners, dust them with Lilly's Insect
Powder frequently.
Use both the above favora bly,
known insect killers and you'll have
success with your poultry.

In an answer fled in the district
court here yesterday to the petition
of the Mills Ellsworth Company, the
city alleges that the bending works
plant belongs to it, having been pur-
chased with city money. and that the
company holds the legal title in
trust for the city.
The answer also denies the Illegal

ordinance.
1t also alleges that the company is
not entitled to relief because thy

also set UP as cross bill that on June
2, 1902, the city council authorized
the spending of $4,000 to buy the Tri-
State Can company plant; that the
money was paid by warrants No.
1919 to 1856 inclusive; that the reso-

That the Improvement Company
changed its name to the Commercial
