Browning. son of the famous poet.

Card Cannot Be DlsIodaed

the surface of the card which is Ell
pected to be lifted Is many times
greater. AS soon as the card rises a
little, the downward pressure holds
it to such an extent that the air flows
out sidewise in every direction along
its surface. When 1t gets to the
Blow Ever So Long and Hard, the
edge of the card, 1t draws some of
the air from the upper side with it.
This causes a current of air from
above to descend upon the card an6
to hold 1t down.

By PROF. J. G. AALPIN,

Wisconsin College Of Agriculture.
Long houses with or without cross
partitions, are used on many large
poultry farms This type has the adj
vantage of being less expensive to
build, and requires less labor to care
for the fowls. as the attendant goes
from one pen to another more quick
ly than he can go from one detached
house to another. With long houses
the ground is more closely stocked
and there Is much less natural feed
such as insects, green grass. etc. AS
large numbers are kept closely to-
gether, the tendency to disease Is
greater The grounds and buildings
need more careful watching to keep
them sanitary. Much fertilizer Is
wasted as the ground next to the
house cannot be utilized to advantage
for growing crops. Where large num-
bers are kept together, the tendency
to form bad habits such as egg eat
ing, etc, is much more pronounced.
The long house with partitions across
1t is usually to be preferred to the
long house without partitions With
several partitions in house one can
divide the hens to advantage and
treat them much more as colonies OF
chickens are treated.
With this type of house one can re-
sort to several methods of yarding.
A good house is one in which each
pen has an individual yard on the
south where the stock is allowed to
run in fall and early spring. The
north side Is left as an open field in
which the hens run during summer
after the breeding season. and, being
accustomed to their pens. the major
fly of them return to their own places
without trouble. While they are oc-
cupying the north yard, the south
yard is cultivated and sown to a crop
of buckwheat and rye to sweeten the
ground and furnish fall and spring
pasture. This sowing would be done
on most farms late in June or early
In July. The space Immediately
north of the house is more likely to
become contaminated It is. therefore.
desirable to grow a crop of some kind
on this each year. Corn or sunfow-
ers are grown on many farms as the
corn is planted early and attains con-
siderable size before the hens are
turned on The result is that the
hens secsre shade in the corn field
and get an abundance Of green stuff
from the alfalfa or clover at the back
OF the yard. This yard at the back
may be moved and a good crop OF
hay secured. Just what can be az
complished. Of course, depends TO a
great extent upon the character Of
the soil found in the yard. The prin-
cipal thing is to keep It constantly
cultivated so as to get rid of hlth
as much as possible.
The continuous house without
partitions should be yarded on both
north and south also. This type Of
house. of course, Is less expensive as
there are no inside fences in the
yard. The principal disadvantage OF
his GY~tera 10 that the hens crowd TO

is spoiled as 1t would be in a stove
pipe. Moisture and poor ventilation
often come from insufficient size Of
flues. With this system, the capacity
of the yentilating fiues should be one
square foot for every six cows. which
is "a square inches per COW. Inlet
flues should aggregate a slightly great.
er capacity than the outlet fues, but
should be small and distributed at
short intervals in all outside walls.
Some farmers have found trouble
because they let the outlet fiues meet
in the cupola. There will be no trouble
II a partition Is run up nearly to the
top of the cupola, between the two as
shown In the diagram.
