PIANO BOX POULTRY HOUSES
Excellent Shelter Provided for TweIvs
During Cold Weather at Conn
parativeIy Small Expense.

From two piano boxes remove the
backs, then place the boxes back to
back and fasten in that position. A
door should be cut in one end and a
window in the other, the roof could
be covered with tarred paper or
piece of old canvas, painted. With
roost and q couple of soap boxes adj
ded for nests, you have good house
roost and couple of soap boxes added
for nests, you have a good house for
8 dozen hens. A small yard for exer-
cisiHg and busting should be wired OF
and a small opening cut in the house
to allow the hens to have access to
the yard.
In the winter when the hens are
confined to the house it would of
course be close quarters for them If
a scratching shed was not provided.
This can be easily done, however, by
placing large packing box against
one side of the house and fastening
1t there; all the boards In the box
should be removed except the ends
and one side which is to serve as a
top. A wide board should be nailed
along the ground from end to end Of
the box, this will keep the snow out
and also will act as brace to keep
the box together.

eggs under the old geese. Make the
nests on the ground where possible,
writes Sarah Peters of Nashville,
Kan, in the Farmers Mail and Breeze
About a week after eggs have been
incubated dip every egg in pail OF
warm water, repeating this at the end
of the second week. Usually we get
gosling for every egg at the end of the
hatch, which is % to 80 days. AS soon

SOME DISEASES OF POULTRY
Care Should BE Exercised to Prevent
Unsanitary Surroundings, Spoiled
Food and Dirty Water.
(By H. PRESTON HoSKINS)

(By H. PRESTON HOSKINS.)
Sick birds should be removed from
the flock and dead ones burned, in an
outbreak OF disease.
White diarrhoea OF chicks is
caused by germ which is often pass
ed by the hen to the chick through
the egg.
Vessels and troughs In which feed
is placed should be frequently scald-
ed or disinfected with a five per cent.
solution OF carbolic acid.
1t is wise precaution to fumi-
gate your incubator with Tornado
hyde before placing your eggs in it
for Matching.
Be careful in Introducing new birds
into your flock to see that they are
perfectly healthy, and not likely to
bring disease with them.
The disease called 1scaly legs is
caused by mite belonging to. the
same family of parasites that cause
mango in cattle, sheep, and other
farm animals.

RULING
FILED ON
NEW LAND.
Liability Act Gets a
Reviewing

A new Interpretation OF the En-
poyers' Liability Act was given by
District Judge Averill late yesterday
when he rendered ruling on the mo-
ton to amend the answer to the COM
plaint by the defendant in the case
of John Ryan versus the Manhattan
Big Four Mining Company.
The defendant company asked per-
mission to file an amended answer TO
the complaint and specified two sep
arate lines of defense The court, IN
the ruling yesterday. denied the mo-
ton to include one of the defenses,
that of assumed risk on the part of
the plaintiff. who was injured some
time ago while at work in the Big
Four property.
It was contended that Ryan. know
ing the property to be unsafe, was
not forced to labor in the mine and
could have resigned his position and
sought work elsewhere. By remain
ing at work, the ATTORNEYS for the
company argued that he assumed al
risks of accident
The ruling declares:
Gas a matter of law he had right
to depned upon his employers keep
ing conditions as safe for him as
when he undertook the work and IT'S
dangers for a certain inducement. ex-
cept the increase in the inherent dam

Tomorrow is Selected
For Democratic Caucus
Patronage to be Ladled Out by the
Legislature Members of
Both Houses

There is busy day ahead to-mor-
row in this city. 1t is the custom to
caucus on Sunday preceding the
meeting of the Legislature. The
Sunday before has been selected
through circumstances and it proves
the busiest day OF record during the
season.
As usual there is a scramble tor
legislative jobs Parties come IN
hoping to secure the two month
work and watch the fun at the Capt.

while others have the trip and re
turn to their homes, only wishing
there were more places to be filled
1t is to fill such places that the
members OF the two houses meet. It
is in the caucus that the names are
selected and the matter freely dis
cussed and each county dolcd out it's

selected lobby. Times have changed

Many a frame up was shaped in the

that all who are able will he in Car
