day will give the hens some fresh feed
to pick over since they will eat
large number of the green clover
leaves. good method is to place
some straw in the poultry house and
add a little clover hay regularly
Clover chaf and second grade hay
may be used to good advantage.
1t is unnecessary to chop straw or
other litter for hens, if it is in mod
crate lengths, since they will soon
break it up if the building is kept dry
Bedding down hens with clover or a.
falfa hay avoids the necessity o.
soaking chaff for feeding, and t1ts into
the system of the average farm much
better. 1t is important to provide
sufficient litter at least s to II inches
deep in order to make the hens work
to get their grains. A small amount
of litter will soon be scratched over
and the hens will need more exer'
else.
Pure Water Essential.
Plenty of clean water above the
freezing temperature in winter Is quite
important A large part of the COM
position of the egg is water and the
hens need a regular and ample sup
ply to do their best work. If water Is
placed in the poultry house while
slightly warm, the necessity Of making
arrangements to prevent freezing Will
be avoided The prime essential Is
to keep drinking vessels clean. Scald
them frequently and rinse out every
day. The drinking vessels should be
placed CT a platform II to 18 inches
above the general level of the floor
so that iitler vi. EOt be scratched into
the vessel Ar cguinary No II gal

to handle and ( I'm and can be car
ried without d.rycIlty better than a
shallow pan or one of the patented
drinking fountains.
Res: Form of Feed Troughs.
For feeding a wet mash a fiat
trough 4 feet inches wide, with sides
4 inches high 8 feet long, is ample
for a flock of 40 hens. This fiat trough
is better than the V-shaped, SO com
monty used, as it is much easier tt
clean and is not upset so readily
For feeding dry mash, the mair
hopper 10 about the best arrangement
ever devised. 1t consists of square
fiat box 4 inches wide Slated on thu
side with perpendicular Stats
inches apart and has a sloping top

A bare-footed negro wandered into
a blacksmith shop in a little southern
town. While watching the smith
pound the iron into shape he uncon-

After several minutes had passed he
shifted his nose once or twice and re-
marked in an incidental way: "'Pears

Two young ladies who had been

much interested in the milking Of the

yourself ridiculous" replied her
cousin, who had boasted that she had
been in the country before. Goats

Poultry can be made to pay mucn
larger return on most farms with Goou
winter management, since the 'o"A'
consume much feed that would other-
wise be wasted During the summer
farm poultry keeping is comparatlVeAy
easy, and the fowls earn goou NV
ing and give profitable returns III
growth and eggs. but durine the WIN
ter neriods the farm flock Is often
noorly cared for and returns are far
| less than they should be under slight
Iy improved methods. A small flock,
rightly managed will lay more eggs
than several hundred hens allowed to
roam free, hunting for their living
with the exception Of an occasional
feed of whole corn or table scraps.
When laying hens crowd into draughty
stables or under the corn crib for
shelter. the egg crop is bound to be
short.
Colony House System.
The best poultry house for the aver
ony house, which will accommodate 25
to 80 hens as a laying flock The
advantages of the movable house are
that it is more sanitary, particularly in
summer, when 1t can be dragged about
fields and cleaning is made unneces-
sary. Fowls are given an increased
range over new territory each time
the house Is moved. Less poultry
feed is needed to keep the fowls in
active condition and the benefits of
the birds as insect destroyers may
be secured by bringing the movable
house into the orchard. During win
,er the movable house Is less advan
ageous, but by locating it on a warm
| south slope and providing ample space
1t serves this purpose fully as well as
fixed house.
A good colony house, shown in the
illustration, Is used at the Wisconsin
College OF Agriculture poultry depart
ment for summer chick raising, anC
with slight notifications may be made
to serve for winter use. This house
is 8x12 feet on the floor, which is O.
matched hard pine laid upon two
AKA inch runners. 1t Is sided on stud!
with plain mill lumber and where uset
only for summer colonies no lining Il
required. Where such house is uset
in the winter, it should be we'll lined
so that 1t Is perfectly air tight OF
all sides, except the front, where tn
open windows are placed. The h,
is 71s feet high on front and slope
