RoosT CLOSET FOR POULTRY
In Front Of House At Maine
Experiment Station.

In the curtain-front type Of poultry
house used at the Maine experiment
station = feature of the original plan
on which considerable stress was
laid was the canvas curtain in front
of the roosts.
This curtain, together with the
back wall Of the house and the drop
pings board under the roosts, formed
a closet in which the birds were shut
up at night during cold weather.
When the curtain-front house was
first devised 1t was thought essential
to provide such a closet to conserve
the body heat Of the birds during the
cold nights when the temperature
might go we'll below zero. Expe-
rience has shown. however, that this
was q mistake. Actual test shows.
that the roosting closet 10 of no ad-
vantage. even in such a severe eli.
mate as that Of Orono. On the con.
trary. the birds certainly thrive bet.
ter without the roost curtain than
with 1t. It has been general OBJ
servation among users Of the curtain
front type Of house that when the
roost curtains are used the birds arc
particularly susceptible to colds. It
Is not hard to understand Why this
should be 80. The air in q roostinx
closet when 1t Is opened In the
morning IL plainly bad. Tho fact
that 1t IL warm in NO way offsets
physiologically the evils Of its lack
of oxygen and excess of carbon di.
oxid. ammoniacal vapors, and other
exhalations from the bodies Of the
birds.
For some time past 1t has been felt
that the roosting closet was at least
unnecessary. II not In fact . positive
evil. Consequently the time of b.
ginning to close the roost curtain in
the fall has been each year lonEer
delayed. Finally, in the fall of 1910.
1t was decided not to use these cur
tains at all during the winter. Con-
sequently they were taken out of the
house. or spiked to the roof. az the
case might be. The winter Of 1901
was severe one. On several occa-
sions the temperature dropped to 80
degrees below zero. Yet during this
winter the mortality was exceptional
ly low and the egg production excep-
tionally high.
In view Of this experience the sta
tion has decided to discontinue the
use Of the roost curtain. It would
seem to be generally undesirable or
1t least Unnecessary.

New Haven, July 29.-The report to the United States Bureau of Fisheries at Washington, just made, of a great bed of giant scalIops extending from Block Island to the Virginia Capes confirms the discovery made three this city, head of a company which raises oysters clans and -rnussels in both Connecticut and Rhode Island waters About three years ago MT. Romans fleet did deep water dredging g off Block Island, finding traces of oye- ters and round clans. Last year a steamer was purchased and equipped with dredges for deep water work. MT. Homan found not only large sca1lops but new specimen of the round clam in which the meat was of excellent fla
 vor and slightly different from that found along the shore MT. Homan's examination of a bed of shell fish con vinced him that the supply was mex
 haustibIe, and the only difficulty ahead was the devisingN of machinery for dredging at the depth at which the she'll fish was ernbedded MT. Homan'e theoTy. was thai ian underground stream of fresh water issued from the ta ble. of the sea and in this lived the organism and vegetable matter upon which the oysters, clans and. scal1ops lived. From examination of samples of the water drawn up from the beds, which lie at a. depth of about 75 feet,
 bacteriologists stated that conditions were just those which oyster growers seek in waters along the coast MT. Homan this season has been conduct ing further search of the beds, having equipped the steamer .Danielson with a dredge for req ching the shell fish, If conditions are as he thinks they are

DOUBLES CLOSE
TENNIS TOURNEY
SMITH IS CHAMP

n GREAT match is expected Sat
~ urday afternoon at the Driv-
ing Club when Mansfield and
Smith play Grant and Thornton in
the closing contest of the Georgia
State tennis championship tourna-
ment. The two teams are about ev-
emily matched, and a fast game is
looked for The tourney has been a
very successful one. A lot of good
playing has been seen, and the in
terest of many old tennis devotees
has been revived.
IN a slow match Friday afternoon
Carlton Smith took the State
championship from Nat Thornton,
after Thornton had held the title for
two consecutive years. Smith, who
also holds the Southern champion
ship title, had little difficulty in beat
ing Thornton, who was not at all in
his usual form. The score in the
three sets played was is, GO, GO.
A TENNIS tournament of much in
terest to Atlanta players comes
off at Augusta the week of June 30.
This is the South Atlantic tourney,
and several of the local men plan to
enter the contest. Among those who
have signified their intention of en-
tering are Frank Reynolds, who has
so successfully refereed the State
tournament matches; Lloyd Parks, J.
X. Orr, Jr., Clarke, RamspeCk and
probably others. While the Augusta
meet does not rank in Importance
with the Southern tournament at
New Orleans, some of the best young
er players will be there and good
playing is looked for.
