PURPOSE OF HOUSING CHICKENS.
Why Many Hen Houses Fail, Told by
Prof. Dryden, of o. A. c.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLI
LEGE, Corvallis-Why many poultry
houses fail to meet the requirements
for protection to egg producers, and
the main points which should be OBJ
served in building hen houses, are
told by Prof. James Dryden in one OF
his circular bulletins.
"The purpose of housing fowls is to
increase productiveness," says Prof.
Dryden. "a little shelter from the
cold winds and storms will add to the
comfort of the fowls and therefore to
the egg yield A cold wave means a
check to egg yield, and the reason Is
probably because the change means
sudden demand for increased fuel or
food to keep up the heat of the body
and the food that has been going into
the making of eggs will be drawn upon
for that purpose. 1t is the food that
furnishes the heat"
Too great difference in the temper
ature of the house by night and day
is given as the principal reason why
many houses fail. A house with
double walls and windows will never
be warm or dry without artificial heat
which has not yet been proven prac
ticable.
"The main requirements of a good
poultry house are: good ventilation
for fowls require much more fresh all
than other farm animals; protection
from cold winds and storms" says
Prof. Dryden. Fowls object to cold
winds. Unless the hen is provided
with shelter where she can scratch and
exercise she will not be productive
Activity is the life of the hen."

Hearing In the Blind.

An investigation conducted some
time ago into the ability Of bats wher
flying In a room to avoid hitting
chairs and tables, and even to skin
without touching along the edges O.
wires placed across the room con
cluded that the bats felt their way BY
following the minute currents Of ali
which probably flow along the edgei
of surfaces. Another explanation Ii
suggested by some experiments made
by NJ Truschel at the Institution for
the Blind in Paris. Very many blind
people become aware Of an object
when 1t is very quietly brought near
them. Many experiments to test this
faculty have been made and this sixth
sense has been called sense of OBJ
stacles," facial perception" sense Of
direction" and the difficulty of defln.
ing it has been emphasized by the
very contradictory accounts which the
blind are themselves able to give oi
their perception. M. Truschel has
come to the conclusion that the per
ception is Of an ordinary kind, and Il
due to the fact that the object reflects
and alters surrounding sounds.

Ironlno Linen.

OF great Importance is the ironing
Of linen. While hard pressure is es-
sential to obtain luster or give per
feet smoothness, an overdegree is
harmful, as garments are thus likely
to cut at the folds-which is likewise
the objections to wringers and man
giles.
Creasing should always be done
very lightly. And in the ironing of
hemstitched towels the same precau-
tions apply. as the tendency is to
bring the iron down forcibly against
the stitching. which is invariably the
point at which it first breaks.

COAT OF ARMS WAS WANTED
EngIIshman Assisted Out of Dilemma
by Official of Heralds' College
Hls One Achievement.

An Englishman applied to the Her.
AIDS college for coat Of arms. In
such case it is pleasant to be able
to borrow one from celebrated an.
cestor. The man in question could
not remember anything about his
great-grandparents, and therefore,
could not mention any achievement
by them which could be used as the
basis Of coat of arms. But the Of
fetal to whom he applied was not
easily discouraged
Have you not done something your
self?' he asked.
Nothing, I fear" said the man,
adding as a pathetic antithesis that
once, having been locked In Ludgate
prison for debt, he had found means
to escape from an upper window.
"And how did you get DOWN."
II got cord, fixed 1t around the
neck of King Lud's statue, and let
myself down."
"Just the thing. There you have 1t
honor enough. Lineally descended
from King Lud. His coat of arms is
good enough for you" ."-Tit-Bits.

DYED RUG TO MATCH PAPER
Operation Cost Little and Resulted In
What Was Practically . New
Floor Covering.

A lady recently had her living room
tepapered and found to her dismay
that the rug did not harmonic with
The paper.
The rug was dull, lifeless blue,
while the walls were done in tones of
brown and tan.
The rug was in a perfectly good
condition. not bit worn or soiled.
The happy thought came that It
could be dyed plain brown to match
; shade used in the paper.
She had no difficulty In securing
the desired rich. FURNISHED brown.
After reading the directions giving
the amount of water 20 be added to
each package, she decided that 90
cents worth of dye would be ample.
After thoroughly cleaning the rug
with a vacuum cleaner. she added
boiling water to the dye.
While 1t was hot she applied it to
the rug with a stiff brush.
This should have a long handle or
the hands must be protected by rub
Der gloves. The dye stains unless
this precaution is taken.
When the rug was saturated with
the dye she closed the door. leaving
the carpet to dry.
When two days had elapsed she
viewed her rug and was delighted
with her experiment.
It. was as fresh as new carpet
and lovely shade of brown. The
room was beyond criticism now. She
felt amply repaid for the little time
trouble and expense it cost her.
