BOOST CLOSET FOR POULTRY
Considerable Stress Laid on Curtain
In Front Of House at Maine
Experiment Station.

In the curtain.front type Of poultry
house used at the Maine experiment
station a feature OF the original Splan
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
closet in which the birds We're shut
up at night during cold weather.
When the curtain.front house was
first devised 1t was thought essential
to provide such closet to conserve
the body heat of the birds during the
cold nights when the temperature
might go well below zero Expe'
ricnce has shown, however, that this
was a mistake. Actual test shows
that the roosting closet is Of no ad-
mate as that of Orono, On the con;
trary, the birds certainly thrive bet
ter without the roost curtain than
with II. II has been a general OBJ
servation among users of the curtain
front type OF house that when the
roost curtains are used the birds are
particularly susceptible to colds. II
is not hard to understand why this
should be so. The air in roosting
closet when It is opened in the
morning is plainly bad. The fact
that II is 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 be
ginning to close the roost curtain In
the fall has been each year longer
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, as the
case might be. The winter OF 1901
was severe one. On several occa
sions the temperature dropped TO 90
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
ton has decided to discontinue the
use of the roost curtain 1t would
seem to be generally undesirable oil
at least unnecessary

Much Activity in Pima County.

There is more activity at present in the Pima district than in any other in Pima county.
 The Twin Buttes people are working more than 80 men and opening up new bodies of ore in several claims. The shipments of ore continue daily to the Pioneer Shelter. The company has just held it's annual stock holders meeting and is now in the process of reorganization. More extensive and deeper work on the property is contemplated and a spirit of enthusiasm pre- vades the minds of the large stockholders.
 The Empire Zinc Company, which took over the old San Xavier claims, are broadening out in their work and adding new men all the time, now em- ploying 25 men. They have in the drifts run from the deep shaft bodies of high grade car bonate of zinc ores, which is being extracted and piled on the dump. It it said the ore will be shipped to their smelter at Canon City, Colorado. Whether concentrating machinery will be placed on the property is yet to be determined.
 The Olive Mines company, re- presented by the Tufts people of New York, are pushing their work of erecting their concen- trator and are doing develop ment work on several bonded claims at the same time, now employing about 40 men. They are down some 26O feet on one claim and the showing of silver lead ore is quite pleasing to them. It is their belief that development work in this old Olive Camp will soon show up some good big ore producing claims. s.-Bisbee Review
