Some may try to dispute this and
claim that not more than 40 birds
should be kept in it, as that is the
rule in the east, but owing to our dry
atmosphere we can keep them in
closer quarters as the main protec-
ton is required in the night.
We build the houses four feet high
on the northside and seven feet high
on the south side. No matter what
design Of house is built, the south
side should not be less than seven
feet high, with the windows extending
right to the top. Starting at the bot

provides a dust bath for the fowls
and does away with the box in the
corner. Six or eight inches of
threshed straw should be placed on
the ground inside the house in the
winter, so that the birds can be kept
busy In the cold weather. The drop
ping board is built 20 inches above
the ground, and should be IS inches
wide for each perch. The perches
should be 2x4 scantling, on edge, or
a good. strong pole, and should be
suspended from the roof and not
touch the side of the house, as it is
much easier to isolate the fowls from
the vermin than to keep the vermin
out of the house. The top of the
perches should not be more than
eight inches above the dropping
board. Then a platform made Of Ike

HEN HOUSE MUST
HAVE GOOD CARE
Simple Form of WhiteWash,
Trimmed to Desired ConSiS-
tenCy, Is Commonly Used.

Most of those who whitewash the
towl houses regularly use the sim
plest form of whitewash, made by
shaking common lime in boiling water
and thinning to the desired consist
ency. If to be used as a spray the
wash is strained, A spoonful of crude
carbolic acid, added to each pailful,
Increases the disinfecting properties,
but lime alone is very cleansing, and
many dislike the somewhat persistent
odor of the carbolic acid. There is
another form of wash liked better by
some, on account of it's more gluey
characteristics, as ordinary whitewash
rubs off rather easily. For this, one
half bushel of lime, one peck Of salt
three pounds of ground rice, half a
pound of Spanish whiting and one
pound of clear glue are the rightly
proportioned ingredients, Stake the
lime H. boiling water, keeping 1t just
covered with the water. Strain 1t and
add the salt, the rice, which has been
boiled with water to a thin paste, the
whiting and the glue, previously dis
solved in warm water. Mix carefully
and let the mixture stand three Oh
four days. When ready to use the
wash reheat 1t and apply while hot.

Without Them.

Experts in embroidery work real
lie 1t is necessary to use embroidery
hoops or frames even for the small
est piece of work if they would keep
1t smooth. They also keep the stitches
from drawing, and are an assistance
when shading with colored silks, in
allowing the embroiderer to observe
the light and shadow on the silk when
held against the material.
Sets OF hoops of assorted sizes can
be bought for few cents apiece. One
hoop in the set is little larger than
the other, but in order to hold the
work firmly in the frame you must
wrap each with narrow strips OF mus
lin or some soft cotton material un'
til one hoop fits very closely over the
other.
The fabric to be worked is arranged
by placing 1t over the smaller hoop;
then, drawing 1t smooth and even, the
larger hoop is pressed firmly down

PREPARING GULL
BIRDS FOR MARKET
Should Be Fattened as Soon as
Fowls Reach Proper Size
No Easy Task

How to fatten the culls for market
is question that is worrying every
poultryman that has some for sale at
this time. 1t is problem of no little
concern.
1t Is not hard to put fat on fowls,
but to put fat on at a profit is
what is the problem. To do this we
must keep in mind that the sooner
we market them the greater the
profit.
AS soon as the culls have reached a
proper size they should be fattened
Place them in a pen to themselves
and feed them foods that contain a
large per cent. of carbohydrates, such
as corn or its milling products. Dur,
ing the process of fattening do not
give them any green food at all.
1t usually takes about twenty days
to properly prepare a fowl for the
market. With ducks it only takes ten
days. AS soon as they are plump
either kill them or ship them to
your commission man or else send
them alive.

Waists of White Lace.

According to the Dry Goods Econo,
mist, white lace waists or models Of
net and lace combined are very prac-
teal, as they are not only dressy, but,
at the same time, give good service.
The finer patterns are particularly at
tractive, especially in the shadowy va
riety, while the imitation Carmickma-
cross, Cluny and f1let are very effective
in popular and medium-priced gar
ments. Tucked net alternating with
broad inserts of lace is an effective
combination used in models from five
dollars up at retail China silk, net,
soft pompadour silks and chiffon
are favorite materials for the Innings,
as the vogue for transparent effects
creates demand for waists with lin
ings of very lightweight material.

THE TWO STREETS.

BY Nixon Waterman.
Two streets there are in many towns
A sad one and fair;
In one, good cheer and peace abound;
In one, dark despair;
In one, the light of love Is shed;
In one, griefs bitter tear;
The name of one OF these streets is
Bread.
The name Of the other Is Beer.
In Bread street there are busy men,
And happy homes and wives
In Beer street the degraded dens,
And sad and broken lives;
In Bread street Plenty sings her song,
And Labor chants her rhyme,
In Beer street Want is Joined with
And idleness and crime.
Oh men and mothers strive to do
All in your power to make
The children shun the one who brews
And trust the one who bakes!
One street there is their feet should tread
And one their feet should fear
The name of one of the streets is Bread
The name of the other is Beer
