Maryland Poultry Fancier Gives De

late Feeding Birds

I built a coop for fattening poultry,
as shown in the illustration, four feet
long, two feet wide, three feet high
in front and two and one-half feet be-
hind. The upper half of the front is
boarded solid, while the lower half
is covered with strips three inches
wide placed two inches apart, which
gives the fowls room to get their
heads through to eat, writes Ely Kin
sell of Maryland in the Farm and
Home. About six inches from bottom
on outside placed feed trough about
four and one-half inches wide and full
length of the coop.
At top of Slated front / hung a
lid made of one-half-inch woven wire.

The Window Question.

raisers differ as to their ideas Of win
dows for poultry houses. One large
raiser of poultry would have only a
small window every ten feet in case
his poultry house were twelve feet
wide. Another wants great windows
and so many of them that the south
side of the house seems to be more
glass than boards.

Improve the Breed.

Once farmers were convinced that
cattle feeding would pay, they would
then commence to improve their
breed. There are many good cattle
in this country now, but great many
more scrubs which would never pay
any man to feed.

Do Not inbred.

Do not inbred unless you have
some definite object in view. 1t is
so easy to get fresh blood that it
does not pay the average farmer or
village poultry raiser to use his own
males. Buy pure-bred birds and do
not cross breeds.

Size of Incubator.

For a farmer who can easily secure
large quantities of fresh eggs it does
not pay to run an incubator of less
than from 100 to 200 egg capacity, as
it requires little more work than to

ignated by the military committee Of the

Objects to Practice.
In many cases a cadet who stands
high in his studies is not proficient in
drilling, and it has been the practice OF
the captains to reassign these officers
