PORTABLE COLONY HOUSE IS i
RAPIDLY BECOMING POPULAR
Principally without YaeHds,
Chickens Being Given Free Range During Summer =
During Winter Houses May be Brought
Nearer Farm BuiIdings-Fresh
AIR Essential.

The colony house is becoming very
popular with the poultrymen of to-
day, either exclusively or used in con-
junction with the ordinary style poul-
try house.
The colony house, as the name i'm
plies, is principally used scattered
about the farm without yards, the
chickens being given free range dur.
ing the summer.
In the winter and spring the houses
are brought nearer the farm buildings
and used with yards as brood coops
or breeding pens, writes e. F. Barry
in the Town and Country Journal.
The portable colony house is used
quite extensively by the villager, and
for raising chickens or keeping a
family flock on the rear of city lot
they cannot be excelled, especially
when the tenant is renter, as they
may be knocked down and moved as
readily as any of the house furniture.
The essential requirements of a
chicken house are plenty Of light,
fresh air, proper ventilation, and that
1t should be vermin proof. Anything
short Of these primary requirements
will result in loss. The building Of
makeshift coops in order to save a
dollar is false economy.
AS the deep litter method of feeding
is very desirable, especially in stormy
weather and during the winter the

have mentioned, providing, howeverS

excellent success with this method. in

Col. Higginson was born in Cam

can easily see to scratch for grain

Fresh air chicken houses are being
recognized as the best for use in any
climate and the expert poultrymen Of
today have long since done away with
artificially heated houses, no attempt
being made to raise the temperature
excepting in very cold climates where
a curtain is sometimes used in front
of the roosting room. Open front
scratching shed coops are the order
of the day.
Proper ventilation is practically as

Any poultry house should be suff1.

be provided with dry floor whether

It is very annoying to have fine plump
chickens up to the broiler age picked
off by a cat or hawk one at time
until the flock has dwindled to almost
half its size originally.
For this reason we believe it will
pay to build houses that will insure
protection against troubles which SO

Walnut trees are becoming scarcer
from year to year in eastern Pennsyl-
vania, owing to the high prices they
command. Exporters make system
attic tours through the rural regions,
buying up all the walnut trees that
can be had. They pay $50 to 500
a tree, or even more il the specimen
is particularly attractive. A big wal
nut tree on the Hutchinson estate, in
Cheltenham, has just been cut down
and the timber will be shipped abroad.
A Wilmington exporter of walnut logs
bought this and other trees in the vi
cinity. These logs, 1t is said, are to
be manufactured into gun stocks in
France. Formerly walnut timber was
in demand in Europe, principally for
use in making veneer for furniture.

If man had to work for fresh air as he
does for food, he would value it. Clean
fresh air is hardly attainable at any
price to the lodger, the tenement

A serious mistake was committed by a
great part of the American public when it
assumed that the five-foot library suggest
ed by ex-President Eliot of Harvard was
to become popular The officials of our
public library caught the spirit, with the
result that for some weeks the few books
through the reading of which the sage Of
Cambridge declared one might obtain a
liberal education were placed on special
shelf accessible to all.
Now that the books have been removed

the bran, thought years ago.; that lies in the
gluten part of the wheat Whole wheat -four further

TAME GULLS OF SHETLAND
Each Family in Lerwick Has lts Own
Flock Which the Children
Feed

There are many small villages IN
the world that have only one street;
but Lerwick, in Shetland, besides hav-
ing only a single street possesses only
one tree, and it is not very tall one
either. There are no land birds there,
not even a sparrow; but the sea gulls
are plentiful
The inhabitants of Shetland are
very proud of their tree and very kind
TO the gulls. of whom the children
make pets Children who are brought
for the first time to see the wonders
of one-streeted Lerwick are always
shown, as a great curiosity. the only
tree in Shetland"
The sea gulls are the sparrows OF
Lerwick; and as such they have a
greater share in the towns life than
the sparrows of London. In the
morning you will note that a sea gull
sits on every chimney pot Sea gulls
town. The air is full of their strange,
high, plaintive, haunting cries.
Every house has its own familiar
sea gulls and every street its own
band of them. But, according TO the
Fruit Magazine, they never mix. The
children in each house have a pet
name for their own particular sea
gulls: and, having called them by
those names, they feed them every
day.
Each sea gull knows what is meant
for him. No bird attached to one
house ever seeks to eat the food scat
tered from the house next door. He
does not dare TO do so. So all day
long the sea gulls hover and call over
the roofs of Lerwick
The people of the town If they come
ccross little pile of rice laid upon the
roadway step over it with care. They
know that it has been placed there for
some sea gull. And at night the sea
gulls leave their appointed chimney
pots and fly gracefully away to their
resting places on the rocks of the
Isle OF Moss.
