Colony House Syste m.

The best poultry house for the aver
age farmer Is a small movable col
Jny house, which will accommodate 25
to 80 hens as a laying flock The
advantages of the movable house are
that 1t is more sanitary, particularly In
summer, when ii 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 dcstroyers may
be secured by bringing the movable
house into the orchard. During win
ter the movable house is less advan-
tageous, but by locating it on a warm
south slope and providing ample space,
1t serves this purpose fully as well as

( foundation. If rats are troublesome
the foundation under the walls of the
house should be made Of concrete
and a tight bottom Of concrete over
which four inches OF gravel may be
spread. This gravel is covered with
six inches OF litter which must be
changed as rapidly as 1t becomes damp
or dirty.
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 on a platform II TO IS inches
above the general level Of the floor,
so that litter will not be scratched into
the vessel An ordinary No II gal
vanized iron pail is most practical for
the ordinary poultry house. 1t Is easy
to handle and clean and can be car.

drinking fountains.
Best Form OF Feed Troughs.
For feeding a wet mash fiat
trough feet 5 inches wide, with sides
I inches high feet long, is ample
for a flock of 40 hens. This fiat trough
Is better than the Vshaped. so com

roost upon it. When used in a house
this hopper has openings only on one
side, and Is hung against the wall
The narrow openings permit the hens
to eat the dry mash, but not to
scratch it out into the litter

Poultry can be made to pay much
larger return on most farms with good
winter management, since the fowls
consume much feed that would other
wise be wasted. During the summer
farm poultry keeping Is comparatively
easy, and the fowls earn a good liv-
ing and give profitable returns In
growth and eggs, but during the win
ter periods the farm flock Is often
poorly cared for and returns are Tar
less than they should be under slight
ly 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

ience 1t would be necessary to pump
the tank nearly full in order that
sheep might reach the water. whereas
by this method they viii be able to
drink at once. The same is true in
the use of wind power. AS soon as the
pump begins to work, the sheep have
access to the water.
This method is used with great
success in Conedale farm in winona

source is large spring and the power

rams work night and day, year in and

NEED OF LIME
ON SOME SOILS
There Is but One Sure Way Of
Making Known the Fault
and That Is by Prac-
teal Trial.

There is only one sure way of de-
tcImining whether a soil needs lime
and that is by trial An application
of lime over a whole field would be a
waste of both time and money If the
field were not in need of such an ap-
plication. 1t is suggested that the
farmer who has not already proved
for himself whether his soils need
lime would better conduct a few sim
pie experiments at different points on
his farm.
A few barrels of lime or few tons
OF limestone would not cost a great
deal and the labor of treating a strip
with lime or ground limestone here
and there across different fields in
which crops were to be grown or so
treat n small area here and there, at
different points in the fields in which
crops are to be grown. would involve
but a small amount of labor. These
areas should be very carefully located
and marked and the results of the ap-
plications should be carefully studied
on the succeeding crops. 1t is pos.
sible that the effects, good and bad
may be easily apparent. 1t is pos
sible that the effects can be discov.
cred only by carefully cutting and
weighing the crops from portions OF
the treated areas and comparing them
with the crops produced upon equal
| adjacent areas.
Lime should not be applied to ma.
nure piles nor to the litter in the barn
Lime should not be applied to land
being prepared for potatoes.-Circular

BEST WAY TO
TOP DRESS GRAIN
Should be Done During the Fall
Months to Afford Proper
Protection for Roots

If grain is to be top dressed, the
work should be done in the fall. as 1t
is very necessary to have the grain
deep-rooted with sufficient top to pro-
tect the roots Haul and spread direct
from wagon or cart when the ground
is dry enough to haul over. The ma
nure should be fine and well rotted
Clean. mellow ground should be
seeded to grass at the time of drilling
and sown to clover in the spring. The
early seeded grain nearly always gives
the best yield. Rather thin land
drilled to grain should be top dressed
with long strawy manure. II manure
cannot be had spread straw or leaf
mold from the woods. A thin cover
ing will protect the grain and grass.
and when rotted will help to keep the
soil moist and cool during the hot
weather. Straw Is worth fully $1.50
to $500 per ton to spread over the
grain. All straw not wanted for feed
ing and bedding should be used for
top-dressing grain and grass. Where
the land Is not too rolling and the
SHOWS are not too heavy. there is no
better way to use the winter manure
than to haul it out. and when the
weather is suitable and the ground is
in condition to haul over and spread
it on either the grain or grass fields.
