The use of the portable colony
house has rapidly come into favor for
farmers and commercial poultry
plants, not only as q building for lit
tie chicks but through its other vari-
Gus uses. Such house need not be
expensive, but should be solid to al
low for hauling and moving from
place TO place, many times over rough
ground and subject to severe handling
in turning and placing. The portable
colony house should not be so large
but that it can be moved with one
good team, and can be drawn through
the ordinary farm gates to meadows
or orchard where they are to be 10
Gated.
There are many different uses for
the colony house, some Of which may
be divided up for the different sea-
sons. In the early spring they may
be used as brooding houses, being
equipped with hovers or having in
them indoor breeders which allow the
chicks the heat of the brooder and
the run of the remaining space, be-

severe weather, and allowing the
poultryman to raise early chicks; or
the house may be divided In two or
more compartments and hens may be
given chicks, which gives them the
same advantages of being under COW
er during the cold or stormy weather
and still have room for exercise. BY
cutting openings for each compart-
ment small parks may be made which
will keep the birds separate to insure
best advantages In growing the young
stock, but will allow the birds the
run of the outdoor quarters during
the pleasant days. If the birds are of
one breed there may not be the desire
to keep them separate for long. and
they may be allowed the run of any
desired area as they have keen
sense of location and readily learn to
return to their own quarters.
AS the season advances the chicks
can do without hover or hen. These
may be removed and low perches
placed In the houses ten or twelve

John I. King And His Reported Retirement
 From Political Game

Much sympathy was expressed today for John T. Kings official press agent who "fell'' for the story that the astute John T.. the second in command of the local Republican ship of state was going. to desert the crew Accord ing to ~t1e official dope John T., is going to retire to give hisA attention to business but he proposes to stick to Roraback member of the state central committee and will act as ad- visor of the local machine Eff he is wanted" The qualification is good. The streets of the city contained many wise smiling men today. John T., has told the same story to dozens heretofore but no one fell for the yarn so his official mouthpiece gives it forth seemingly in good faith. As long as John T., holds his membership on the Roraback committee no one will seriously consider that his appe- tite for politics has been abated one jot. Perhaps there are those still left in the fast dwindiing party fold who believe such an announcement may help the party but of that there may be real doubt as John T., was too close to the phone to pay any serious attention to those of his party asso- ciates who have been after his scalp.
