The main requirements or a good
poultry house are good ventilation
and protection from storms and
cold winds.
Hens will not lay when weather
conditions prevent them from
scratching and exercise Many
poultry houses have proven fall
ures because the variations nj
night and day temperature were
too great. Prominent authorities
on the building of poultry houses
state that ventilation can best be
furnished by leaving one end Of
the house open or covered with
burlap or canvas, using no glass
windows unless necessary for
light. The idea of building a warm
house should be abandoned. 1t is
shelter that is needed. The house
should be built In such a way that
the fowls will not roost near the
open front where they would be
exposed to winds; nor should it
face the prevailing winds. A long
house is more expensive to btlld.
for a given capacity, than one
more nearly square. A long mar
row house is also a cold house,
having more exposed surface for
a given capacity than a square
house.

FEEDING NOTES

The self-feeder is not good for young
pigs as under months of age they viii
eat too much.
Every locality in the country can pro-
duce kind of feed capable of balancing
up the corn ration.
The danger of overlooking in the case
of young pips is always inimical tc
maximum results.
Salt and air-slalSed lime--a little more
lime than salt, will act favorably on the
stomach of sheep and assist in prevents
ing bIoat.
In my experience 1 hace found nc
food for dairy cows that gives bettei
satisfaction than ground oats. The COW
rarely tires of them. They give a deli
cious flavor to the milk and an aroma tC
the butter. .s
We should use considerable of the
milk of human kindness in caring fol
our dairy cows.

CHILEAN WOMEN

first things that strikes on coming from the

number of women in public quasi-public EN-

to find women selling stamps, distributing let

routine of the place. Later you will find the
same true OF other public offices.
Even at the Cerro Santa xucia Park there
is a woman at the gate TO take your ticket.

marked There the women sell the tickets for,

generoGs and very extrayagant govern
ment
The situation is simply appalling
There appears to be no moral or legal
force in these United States to contend
with pension graft and when we add
to this national indebtedness. or more
plainly this pension graft-the obliga-
tions assumed by the late confederate
states, to provide PENSIONS we may dis
cover that we are almost loaded down
to bankruptcy.
Nobody has ever shown an unwilling
ness TO. provide reasonable support for
veterans-union or confederate, who are
afflicted or to the needy, but this graft
has never been sufficiently uncovered
to prove to the people OF the states how
many unworthy or well-to-do people are
being givena yearly money who are better
off Infinitely than hundreds who are
forced to raise this pension money by
taxation.
Every county should be required to
publish the list of pensioners, once a
year, and there should be legal provis-
ions by which the well-to-do shall be
known, and the unworthy should be
weeded out. There is a dey of reckon
ing ahead of us. You and / may not
live to see It, but this outrageous graft
will tester and inflame in the honest
peoples minds. until an explosion is
bound to come. Charity is no longer the
word for 1t. for it is simply compelling
one set of people to support by force an
other class, and thus rob the patriotic
and confding.

ARVADA AND GOLDEN BUSINESS
MEN MEET ON LABOR DAY
In Fast Ball Game Which Resulted in

avowed intention of playing rings
around the business men of that
city in a baseball contest-but
it SO happened that they didn't.
The game was called at three
p. m. and opened up in big league
style, Arvada taking the field.
Golden scored three men in the
first, but for the next three in
ming they were retired in one,
two, three order, then they be-
gan scoring and piled up a total
of Ia in the nine innings.
Arvada made one good one in
the first and failed to get around
