COLONY HoUsE FOR POULTRY.
Portable Structures. Where Fowls
May Have Free Range, Keep
Rirds More Active and Busy.

Prof. James Dryden OF the Poultry
department at the Oregon Agricultur-
al college has stated that it is his
opinion that poultry-keeping is most
successful where the colony system
prevails.
Small houses, preferably portable
ones, where the fowls may have free
range. keep the birds more active
and busy than they would be il con-
fired in yards. There is also less
danger of disease epidemics, and it is
easier to keen the house on clean
ground by moving it occasionally. The
poultry viii also require less feed and
care. as they will pick up considera-
Bile amount of food on the range.
The fact that they will also rid the
farm Of any Injurious insects must
also be considered. as well as the i'm
portant fact that they may be fat
tened in the fall on the stubble fields
If the system colony is used. A good
size to build a colony house is 7xI2
feet. Professor Dryden says. A team
of horses viii pull a house of this
size. and it viii accommodate thirty
to forty fowls.

-FOUR YOUNG GIRLS
KILLED BY CAvEIN
Fatal Gravel PIT Accident Near
Black Greek.
BODIES FOUND sEARCHERS
Failure of Children to Return from
Trip After the Cows Caused Fear
That They Might Have Fallen Vic
Tins 20 Timber Wolves.

Green Bay.-Four little girls. aged
3 to IL years. were suffocated be-
meath tons of falling sand in the
cayein of a gravel pit on the Barth
farm near Black Creek.
The children are:
Amanda Barth, aged IL.
Augusta Barth, aged IL.
Katie Barth, aged 8.
Gretchen Rosenberg, aged 9.
After hours of frantic search by
a party organized by the parents of
the Barth children, the sand pit was
investigated and the little mutilated
bodies, all evidencing severe physi-
cal injuries. were discovered in a
pathetic group beneath ten feet of
earth.
The girls left the Barth home early
in the afternoon to corral the COWS,
When they did not return their par
ents became apprehensive, and fear
ing that the children might have en-
countered wolves. organized a search
ing party, which discovered that a
bank of the large sand pit had col
lapsed and the fate of the tots real
lied.
Shovels were procured but it was
at least five hours after the accident
that the first body was recovered.
The children had evidently been
playing In the pit and were caught
without warning by the avalanche of
sand. All lay within a few feet OF
each other.

Murrell, with ali his hardihood,

To be successful in raising ducks
one should have roomy yard en-

Caused by Withdrawal of Blood
From the Brain, Says Modern
Physiology.

All the organs of life rest in some
way or other. The heart has an in
terVal of fest between each combined
act of contraction and expansion and
the beginning of fresh act. Be
tween each expiration of the lungs
and the succeeding inspiration there
is a period Of repose Psychologists
have calculated that the heart re-
poses during about one-fourth of the
time
Certain Of the other organs suspend
their activity in part during sleep.
Old psychologists supposed that sleep
was caused by the pressure OF the
blood on the brain. But modern
physiology, With tendency TO regard
the brain as the origin of all force
and Of all functions of the body, In
clines 10 the view that sleep is
caused by withdrawal Of blood from

WHY PoULTRYMEN GRIND FEED
Found TO BE Of Great Assistance
Where Chickens Are Being Forced
for Quick Growth.

(By PROF. T.. O. PHILLIPs)
At the present day many poultry
men grind part of their chicken feed
into a meal so It can be fed into
either A dry or wet mash.
If all the food eaten must be ground
by tie fowl. 1t will use up some en-
a.gr, which requires food to furnish
II. II has been found that In forcing
chickens for quick growth or egg pro-
duction, feeding portion of ground
feed is a great help.
Part Of the work Of digestion has
been accomplished by the artificial
grinding. and the hen so fed can use
the energy that Is saved for some
thing else. This is the real advantage
Of feeding ground grain.
