North Yakima, spent Thanksgiving
with Herb Brown and family. After a
bountiful dinner of all the good things
of the season. the men of the party
spent the remainder of the day hunting,
the result of which was 20 jackrabbits
and one cottontail.
What might have been serious ac
cident happened Tuesday afternoon, in
front of the Spaulding residence. Mrs.
j. B. Yost was about to step into the
buggy belonging to D. F. Stull, when
the large team of grays belonging to
Mr.. Gleichman became. frightened and
plunged into the horse and buggy,
frightening Mr. Stull's horse and smash
ing the rig. However the horses were
stopped before further damage was
done.
M. E. Carley, (and by the way, he
objects to being called the Mayor of
Carley'') stopped off in Kennewick on
his way home from Prosser, where he
served three weeks as juryman. He
called at the Courier Office and told US
what a miserable time he had at the
county seat. The saving feature of his
excursion was his trip to Granger where
the big Holstein sale took place last
Monday. MIR. Carley has fine herd of
Holsteins at his ranch and, while he,
too, was outbid for the cows he wanted,
came away happy. He has full blood
bull that he valued at $1,000 and since
the sale his price has jumped to $500,
so he figures he made $500 by attending
the sale.

R0osT 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 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
closet in which the birds were shut
up at night during cold weather.
When the curtain-front house was
first devised it 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 a mistake. Actual test shows
that the roosting closet is 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 it. It 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 a roosting
closet when it is opened in the
morning is plainly bad. The fact
that it is warm in no way offsets
physiologically the evils of it's lack
of oxygen and excess of carbon di.
oxid, ammoniacal vapors, and other
BIRDS
For some time past it has been felt
that the roosting closet was at least
unnecessary, If not in fact a 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 a severe one. On several occa,
sions the temperature dropped to sc
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 OF
at least unnecessary.

Reason Why.

She was a dear, old fashioned.
modest, simple maiden lady. So that
when she announced the fact that she
thought of paying a chiropodist visit
her great friend was duly astonished.
IT didn't know you suffered from
corns," remarked the latter, when the
news was first broken to her.
Il DON'T" replied the old lady mild
ly, albeit firmly; neither am 1 af-
t1icted with bunions, chilblains, nor
any other pains in the feet"
Her friend gazed at her with grow
ing CONSERVATION.
Then, my DEAR she demonstrated
gently, what on earth do you want
to visit a chiropodist for?"
The little old lady's cheeks blushed
a delicate pink as she leaned forward
laid one mittened hand on her interro
gators arm and whispered:
ITS this way, my dear. l do sc
want to be able to boast that at least
once in my life | had man at my
feet!"
