Poultry House Archite cture.

Success in raising and keeping fowls,
and particularly in getting winter eggs,
depends as much upon the poultry
houses as upon the stock, their care and
feeding. The three essentials of a
good house are that it shall be dry,
ton without drafts. Any house that
will provide these things should prove
successful, no matter what the form of
construction or the design.
The first consideration in building a
poultry house is its location, according
to Farm and Home. 1t is important to
have well drained soil so that the
ground around it will be dry. The
buildings should also be located near
the dwelling house. for much of the
work of caring for the poultry usually
devolves on the woman members of
the family. A sunny location, well
sheltered from the north winds, is
highly desirable.
Dryness in the house itself is the first
essential. Next to actual starvation
nothing is surer to reduce the egg yield
and affect the health of the fowls than
dampness in the house. Wet yards
mean cold, dirty feet, and this in turn
results in dirty eggs and less of them.
If the site is not dry. it should be
underdrained. In any case the founda-
ton should be high enough above grade
to prevent the entrance of surface
water. On dry soil dirt floor may be
used, although this becomes foul If not
removed and renewed each year. A
good double board floor or one of con-
crete is the best.
Good ventilation is essential, but il
must be without drafts. If the build.
ing is tight on three sides and overhead
with no cracks at the caves or sill,
there will be no difficulty with drafts.
If one or more window openings or a
part of the front is covered with muslin
cloth, it will keep out the wind during
the cold weather and at the same time
permit good circulation of air without
blowing on the fowls.
Plenty of sunshine in winter and
spring is the third essential. This is
abundantly provided for in the two
compartment house which can be
thrown almost entirely open and the
building flooded with light, yet there is
not so much glass that it will become
very heated in the daytime, and like
wise excessively cold at night. At
least so per cent. of the front of the
house should consist of openings covered
by glass and cloth.

individuals engaged in the sale, almost
entirely volunteers, will reach well over
100000 Society leaders in almost
every large city of the country, notably
in Pittsburg, Brooklyn, Cleveland, Chi
cago, Cincinnati, San Francisco and
elsewhere are taking a leading part in
this campaign.
The American Red Cross has already
printed for the work over $4,000, 900
seals and probably the edition will num-
Der 100, 900, 900 before the end of the
campaign. Fully 100000 pieces of
advertising literature have already been
sent out, and several million more are
being distributed from local and state
agencies throughout the country. 1t is
planned to make the campaign this year
the largest that has ever been held. If
the anticipations of the antitubercu-
losis workers are realized, no less than
$400, 900 will be obtained from the sale
of Red Cross Seals. Practically all OF
the money remains in the state or city
where the seals are sold, only a very
small percentage of it is going to pay
for the cost of the printing and distri'
buting the seals and for the expense Of
running the campaign.
The National Association announces
that in case any persons cannot obtair
seals in the community where they live
they can secure them by writing to Rec

the exact number of buffaloes in the
wild herd in the park. Forty-nine ami
mails, including 10 this years calves,
were counted. This is the largest num-
Der reported for more than 10 years,
and the number of calves indicates that
the herd is thriving beyond expectation.
cat the present time there are 143
animals in the tame herd, So males, 81
females, and "a this years calves, sex
undetermined.
"a disease attacked the herd in De-
cember, just after the buffalo were
taken up from the range where they
had been day herding during the sum-
mer, and % died before it could be
stopped. The Department of Agri-
culture sent veterinarian to the park
to do what he could, and after exami-
nation of specimens from the dead ami
mails sent to that department in Wash
ington the disease was pronounced to be
hemmorrhagic septicemia, although its
symptoms were at first thought to be
those of black-leg. The carcasses were
burned and all precautions taken to
prevent further spread of the disease.
In June a veterinarian was sent out by
the Department of Agriculture, who
vaccinated all of the adults of the herd
with serum prepared and furnished by
his department, as a protective
measure.
"In addition to the % animals that
died of disease, two bulls and four cows
have died or had to be killed for various
causes during the year. These how.
ever, were of but little loss to the herd
as they were old or decrepit animals
and unfit to remain with the herd.
"By constant herding during the
summer the herd has become used t.
being driven, and as rule is handled
with but little trouble on the range. The
usual show herd of Is bulls was brought
into the field near Mammoth Hot
Springs at the beginning of the tourist
season, so they could be seen by
travellers, and was returned to the MAR
herd on September Is. "

Elk and Buffalo in Yellowston e
Park.

The elk that winter in the Yellow
stone National park now amount
to over 80, 900 according to the report of
the acting superintendent of the park
just made public by the Department of
the Interior. "The problem of handling
this large herd of elk to the best ad-
vantage" says Lieut.. Col Brett, "has
become an impol tant one, and one in
which many are interested. The De-
partment of Agriculture has, in the in
terests of the elk, limited the grazing
districts for sheep in the National
Forests adjoining the park; the States
of Montana and Wyoming have set
aside game preserves adjoining the
park for the protection of the elk and
other game; and the latter State as
well as the Federal Government has
spent money to feed the elk that
winter in Jackson Hole.
"The buffalo in the park" says the
Acting Superintendent, ''are in two
herds-a wild and tame one. A special
effort was made during the month of
July to determine as nearly as possible

Men of Eminence Began as
'NewsIes.'

There are clergymen, lawyers, and
bankers in New York who began their
careers crying newspapers in the street,
says Jacob A. Riis in the December
Century" describing the evolution of
1.-The New York Newsboy." l know
of distinguished physician on Madison
avenue who so paid his way through
college. At the entrance to the Brook
Ign bridge one sells newspapers today
who is in his last year in the medical
school. Another, around in Fulton
street, will be graduated with the next
class from the dental college, and up at
the Grand Central brush against one
who is taking his second years course
in the law school. All these are still
at their posts, making the money that
pays for their education; but | pass
them all by, when bound uptown, and
buy my paper or magazine of one who
stands at the corner of Twenty-thrd
street and Fourth avenue. Let me tell
you his story.
From his window across the street one
of the officers of the Gerry society saw
a boy with crutch and an armful of
papers, dive into the hurrying crowd on
the crossing and snatch customer from
under the very nose of a big, bearded
man, also a news-vender who in re-
venge struck him an angry blow that
sent him sprawling in the dirt. The
boy picked himself up and limped back
to his corner, where the officer found
him brushing off his coat and attending
to business as though nothing had hap
pened.
at is all right" was Fred's only
comment; 81 wasn't hurt, and guess
it was his sale, anyhow"
The boy had just passed fourteen.
He had no time to waste in fighting, for
his father was sick at home and the
support of the mother and three young
er brothers was upon his frail shoulders.
That was fifteen years ago, and he still
sticks to the corner that is his by right
| nOW. anu lillS Is nOW lie IutI HIS re-
sponsibility, for the father died without
ever earning another dollar; one brother
is capable engineer connected with one
of the great electric companies, another
is in the employ of an express company
the third is stenographer. Fred's
earning brought them all up and gave
them their start. One of the brothers
helped him sell papers when not in
school. The family have left the tene-
ment where the father died, and live in
a nice home. Fred, as | said, sticks tc
his corner. 1t is the keynote of the
man, as it was of the boy-to stick il
out. He has seen the tide of little
Italians succeeded by flood of Jews,
big and little, but through it all has held
his own serenely. Best of all, he nc
longer walks with a crutch, though he
still limps. Open air plus his dogged
grit has triumphed also over this OBJ
stacle and made him whole.

shipped twelve chickens and started on

mission uphold him and force the rail

As triplets were born, there was no
difficulty in realizing their ambition to
name child after the President to-be.
So they called one William Howard

parents sent telegram to the White
