ACCURATE POULTRY ACCOUNT
Of Much Importance That Record
Should Be Kept to Ascertain Just
What Flock Is Doing.

(By A. J. WILDER.)
An accurate account should be
kept to find out whether the poultry is
paying a profit, and just how much.
In doing this, don't forget TO give
them credit for the frying chickens,
broilers, roasters and all the eggs used
in the home. Quite often this is over
looked and the poultry receives no
credit for saving us what would be a
good deal of expense if we had to buy
our fresh eggs and all the poultry we
used
This is not so hard to keep track of
as one would imagine. l find that the
easiest way to keep the egg account
is to set down every day the number
of eggs gathered that day. AS a. rec
ord is kept of all the eggs sold, the
difference would be the number used
at home. The hens should be given
credit for the number gathered.
1t is important that We should keeI
an account with the poultry and know
just what they are doing. When al
kinds OF feed are so high-priced AND
can be sold, or fed to advantage tG
other stock, we can not afford to keeI
large stock of poultry at loss.
If poultry is not making you a profit
remedy the difficulty and get profit
or else keep only enough poultry tt
supply the family.

PREPARE FOR COLD WEATHER
Bees Must Be Given Proper Protection
-hen Houiie Should Be Made
Snug and Then Whitewashed.

Where are the bees going to win
ter? In the cellar or out-of-doors ex-
posed to the storm? If in the cellar,
a place should be prepared for them
now, SO that when cold weather sets
in for good the hives can be quickly
placed in position.
Once more: Never set the hives
fat on the floor Of the cellar-as some
people do. Bees must have fresh air,
and be kept free from dampness.
Every stormy day in which the hens
are allowed to wander about without
shelter, adds to the discrepancy in the
egg basket.
OF course we can wait until stormy
weather sets in before making the
chickenhouse snug and comfortable.
but it will cost US something, in the
loss of eggs, To do it.
After it has been made all comfort
able for the winter. take the time to
give it another whirl OF spraying with
whitewash into which two teaspoon
fuls of carbolic acid to the pailful have
been dropped.
If we will put the drag on the road
after late rains, right up until the
ground freezes, we will have very
much better roads when the frost
comes out of the ground next spring.
1t takes some courage to weed out
the poultry flock down to the very
essence of good quality, but this is the
month to do it. Why feed any old
scrubs during the long winter months
Stuff them two weeks, and send them
to market.
Many people do not know that the
tops of turnips, sugar beets and car
rots can be cut off without imparing
their keeping qualities. This should
be done before they are put into win
ter quarters.
Maybe it is too late to gather road
dust for the fowls. II you have neg
lected to dc this, you can give them
sifted coal-ashes, which is the next
best thing.
A few dollars invested in storm-door'

but will prevent sudden blasts of cold
air from reaching the occupants

If you will put storm-windows owe

SMALL FLOCK is PROFITABLE

Sheep on Farms-Animals Eat
Weeds and Enrich Soil.

For the encouragement Of the far
mer who thinks keeping sheep would
be a fine thing if he could carry on
an extensive business as is done on
the big western ranches, a Texas
wool buyer says:
1T would be a great thing for the

Il buy great deal OF wool at points
where there are no ranches near, the
produce being grown by farmers who
keep small fiocks.
Il have been often told by sucn
farmers that it costs practically moth
ing 10 keep sheep on farms. They re
quire very little feed, they eat the
weeds in the fields and at the same
time enrich the land.

Improving the Farm Home.

That farm homes are often unsanf-
tary, and the scene OF illnesses such
as should be impossible in the free,
invigorating air of the country" is
attributable, in probably the majority
of instances, TO the use of defective
methods in the disposal of the waste
and sewage OF the house. The
noisome cess-pool and the undrained
privy-cold, malodorous and soil pol
luting-make such large additions to
the rate of mortality as to rob the
country. in a measure, OF its natural
superiority over the town in the sta
.istics of health.

BUILD SUITABLE HOG HOUSES
Building May Be Cheap and Simple in
Construction, but Should Be Con-
venient-EasiIy Arranged.

When hogs are handled in large
numbers, or where twenty or more
brood sows are kept, hog house
large enough to accommodate the. ma
jority Of the stock is often found.
This system has the advantage OF en-
abling the breeder to handle his hogs
with less expenditure of labor and
time than is possible if they are scat
tered over a larger area.
When such a house seems desirable,
it may be cheap and simple in con-
struction, but should be convenient.
1t should run east and west, and is
most easily arranged with row OF
pens on each side of an alley way
which extends the entire length of the
building. The walls may be Of one
inch material siding, but should fit
very close in order to prevent
draughts. The roof should be moder
ately high, to provide sufficient venti
lation. Quite a number Of windows
should be installed in order to pro

spreading through the entire herd
Secondly, fields and pastures may be
utilized regardless of their location or
proximity to other farm buildings.
Third, such buildings are quite mex
pensive, and the number can be in
creased as the herd increases in size.
There are many types Of these
houses. For a single SOW, the A type
is usually built by s by feet high.
The rectangular type is built by 8
feet for one SOW, or by II and divid-
ed into two compartments. Those
with the higher roof and with provi-
sions for opening either the sides or
the roof, have so far proven the most
satisfactory.

DO CONSUMERS GET
WHAT THEY BUY?
ey James Troop, Department OF En-
tomoIogy, Purdue University
Purdue University Agri-
cultural Extension.

We are hearing a great deal these
DAYS about the high prices which pre-
vail all along the line of food prod
,,cts: a steak which, few years ago,
cost 1914 cents per pound, now COSTS
30 or 35 cents, or even more than that
where there is no competition. In
fact. the high cost of living" Is felt
all along the line and by all classes
of citizens. 1t Is not the high cost
OF things which We wish to call at
tention to in this article so much as,
are we getting full weight or measure
of what we buy? Naturally, when
food products are low, we 90 not pay
particular attention as to whether we
are getting full weight or measure or
not. But in times like the present,
when a dollar goes very short way
I'm purchasing food supplies, 1T be-
hooves every one to see to 1t that he
receives full measure. Many of us
have become accustomed to take too
much for granted, to accept without
question, whatever is given us. This
applies more especially TO that class
of people who buy only In small guam
titles from day TO day; and that does
not mean the poorer classes by any
means. because. I'm most of our cities
and larger towns. this method is large
ly the custom With al, classes. How
MANY know that they are getting full
weight or measure? In how many
kitchens in this state may be found
a reliable set of scales where pack
ages may be weighed as they come
from the dealer? Possibly one In
fifty. The amount of money that
could be saved in this way in year
in each household would more than
buy a good set Of scales, besides the
satisfaction of knowing that one was

When the water in the top compart-
ment becomes too hot for efficient
condensation it can be passed to the

The metal used in the construction
of the still should be well-tinned cop
