IMPROVEMENT OF FARM EGGS
Government Bulletin Contains Result
of Careful Study of Industry in
State of Kansas,

Every reader should read circular
141 entitled "The Improvement Of the
Farm Egg" issued by the department
OF Agriculture, Washington, d. G.
Among other things this contains the
results of the careful study made Of
the industry In the state of Kansas.
where an effort has been made to
bring about an organization of the
egg industry and the cooperation of
the state authorities for the purpose
OF compelling the traders In eggs to
buy on quality basis only. There is
no question In our mind but that the
result Of the investigation in Kansas
Will be that the lease count" system
Will be discarded in the very near fu-
ture and there will be substituted In
Its place the "loss-off' method of buy
Ing, says an exchange. When this goes
into force 1t will be squarely up to
the egg producer to handle his product
30 that when 1t is marketed It will
be In first class condition. We pre-
dict that there will be a very radical
change In the next few years In this
matter and as word to the wise is
sufficient, 1t will be enough to again
suggest to our readers that they send
to the department of agriculture,
washington, d. c., for this circular.

feet four inches high in front, eighteen
Inches high in the back.
poultry-house should always, If pos
sible, be placed on ground sloping
slightly away from it, then in the wet
weather the rain drains away. II the
ground is quite level the rain off the
roof shows a tendency to remain in
the form Of puddles.
A trench should be dug to carry II
away, or better still, there should be
q spout on the roof to carry the wet
away down to a down spout connected
with surface drain.
1t is important that the ground
around the house, as well as the house
itself, be kept dry, as fowls never do
well on wet land.
Special attention should be paid to
the roof. The caves should overlap
some three inches, ard it is all the
better If built of stouter wood than
the walls.
There is no necessity to cover the
roof with felt, provided it receives a
good dressing Of tar at first and
further coat each year. On no ac-
count make the roof of corrugated
zinc.
Such a house will be cold In the
winter and hot in the summer. II the
poultry-keeper has some sheets of
this very useful article-for such it
certainly is-make a roof of thin
boards and put the zinc on top.
For the floor the earth needs to be
beaten down quite hard and dress
ing Of some inches of sand or light
dry earth put on top. If the soil is
clayey, it is better to have a wooden
floor, for it must be dry.
In any case, observe scrupulous
removing all droppings
once a week and taking care there is
never any smell.
Ventilation is a subject better I'M
derstood now than formerly. We in
dulge in more of it for ourselves and
more for the fowls. Yet for them as
for ourselves, we must not forget that
the thing can be overdone and that a
good deal depends upon the location

PROPER HOUSING OF POULTRY
Chief Requisites Of Building Arc
pryness, Perfect Ventilation and
Plenty Of Sunlight.
By N. r. CELEBRITY

Wy H. III
Frequently poultry keepers COM
plain bitterly Of the failure of their
fowls to show profit, when the whole
fault lies In defective housing.
Poultry lead an entirely artificial
life when they live penned In a run,
or even when at liberty and provided
with sleeping house-that Is to say
they have their food provided them
and do not sleep In the trees, as their
natural instinct would teach them.
1t is simply the difference between
sleeping In a house and sleeping In
trees that upsets them. When they
do the latter, they may not lay well
but they keep their health. More than
half the diseases modern fowls suffer
are caused primarily by this defective
housing.
The chief requisites of house are
that 1t should be weather-proof, so
that whatever the inclemency Of the
season, the fowls keep dry. 1t must
be provided with ample ventilation
and should have a sunny aspect.
The sun is life to all animals, and
the more fowls get of it, the better.
Yet, sometimes, fowl houses are
placed In dark, secluded corners, and
built to admit hardly any light. A
