WOMAN IN POULTRY BUSINESS
OF Considerable Convenience to Keep
Record Of Profit and Loss Of
Flock Of Mongrels.
fBy MRS Holm rrpronr

By MRS. JOHN UPTON)
l did not realize until few year.
ago how much 1t paid to keep account
OF the profit and loss from the flock
Last year I tried this with a mongrel
flock Of IS head, with the following
result:
l paid for feeding. the year, $50. IS
and for chickens $13.4O, a total cost
OF ss4.o5 | sold poultry for $47.91;
eggs, 1875; eggs used and for set.
ting, $54.S6; value of pullets, roosters
and 10 hens on hand, $78.75. Total
$2390S.
This would leave profit of s145.o3
This includes the value of the chicks
or pullets from the IS hens.
The 65 hens were kept in one flock
on side hill. The house was 16xeoxe
facing south, with concrete wall and
dirt floor. One end was partitioned
OF and made fireproof for an incu.
bator room. l ran a small incubator
OF 6O-egg size until April, when pur.
chased one of SO-egg size.
During the fall months all of this
flock was sold but ten hens. had on
hand from the seasons Matching lis
pullets. They were kept in three col.
ony houses until late fall, when they
were divided into three flocks; one OF
White Leghorns, to be kept for lay
ers; one of Rhode Island Reds, to be
used for raising broilers, and the third
lock of mongrels.

LITTLE ROAD WORK IN FALL
Only Aim Should Be to Keep Them
Hard and Well Drained-Cut Out
All Weeds and Grass.

To those who are about to work up
the highways, as is often done in
some counties of the state in the fall.
we would say, "Don't!"
Autumn is a beautiful season, but
when we see force Of men work
ing" a new section Of road and plow-
ing up the old road-bed late in the
fall. 1t makes us think that the melan-
choly days have come. the saddest of
the year. There is an element of this
sort that fingers all winter over such
a section of road. 1t is bound to be
cut full of deep ruts in mild weather.
and rougher than the rocky road to
Dublin when the ground is frozen.
The only aim in working roads at
this time of the year should be to
keep them hard and well drained,
says the Wisconsin Agriculturist. No
loose dirt, clods or vegetable matter
such as weeds and grass sods should
be left on the road-bed. Sod and
weeds make humus, and however
much we desire supply humus in
cultivated soils, it is a mighty poor
road building material.
Clay roads should be packed and
smoothed with the road drag, and not
loosened up at any time of the year,
much less just before winter sets in.
Muddy and sandy tracts may be grav-
eled or macadamized. Tile drains
and culverts are seen to be in good
condition for draining away the ditch
water. But places can well be hard
surfaced or cut to proper levels or
slopes. But to pillow and scrape loose
soft material up on to the roadway is
not good highway engineering for
November. 1t Is better to leave fair
ly firm road surfaces as they are,
than to fill in with unpacked material
at this season of the year.

Hard to See Under Water.

There is no scientific instrument OF

one to see down to so or 60 feet under
water. When the sun shines vertical
ly over water, box or bucket with a

is sometimes employed. But without

House Plans Important.

The care in the home and all other
forms of household work are greatly
facilitated by right planning and the
use of suitable materials for the
construction and furnishing of the
home. An adequate and convenient
water supply and other conveniences
are essential, not only for comfort
and for saving labor, but also from
the standpoint Of home hygiene.

Green Food for Winter.

Sprouted oats, cabbage and brittle,
well-kept turnips furnish the best
green poultry food for winter. Alfalfa
or clover leaves or sweepings from
the big barn floor, if scalded up and
fed clear or with a little ground feed,
viii largely take the place of green
food and in a way is better than all
other green stuff without it.

against the fence and freezes, it is
not difficult for lack rabbits to

Ohio gives the following formula,
as an effective wash to protect
fruit trees from rabbits, sheep
and mice. 1t is made as follows:
Stake one peck of fresh stone lime
with old soap suds, thinning to
the consistency of whitewash.
For the one peck of lime, add one

four pounds of sulphur and one
gallon of soft soap. Paint the
