ccmplished by having three sides tight
and the south side largely open. Glass
windows are an unnecessary expense.
The building should be convenient and
not cost more than one dollar for each
bird it will comfortably house.
Proper method of feeding consists
in the use of a variety of cheap grains
and mill products of good quality.

Of ground oyster shell or old plaster,

Economy of labor Is the sixth es-
genital CT profitable egg production.
This can be largely brought about in
three ways: ID The use of the colony
house system of housing where build
ings can be moved. (2) by the hopper
method of feeding so that the stock
need only be fed every few days or
once a week. instead of several times
day. (3) by the use of a water
system which does away with tho
necessity of carrying water to the
fowls, and by giving the stock plenty
of free range during both summer and

question often asked is: Docs it

Ii there is a fair sized family, if no
extra help is needed to look after the
COW and ii there be convenient
place to house and pasture her. then
keep good COW.
Jersey. Guernsey or Ayrshire
might be chosen. The Jersey and
Guernsey give rich milk, which readily
creams owing to the fat globules in
their milk. The Ayrshire gives a well
sustained flow for table use, as it
contains the smallest fat globules and
does not cream so readily.
If a family is to consume the milk
of one COW it is important that she be
vigorous and sound and be submitted
to the tuberculin test once a year, for
the danger OF drinking milk cOntinu-
ously from diseased COW is apparent.
That is the reason why herds milk is
to be preferred to the individual cows
unless the health of the COW is as
sured
Regular hours for milking and feed
ing are necessary. and a COW must be

to from Si5 to $50, varying with food
prices and cows appetite.
The lactation period should be ten

properly nourish her unborn calf.
During this resting period reduce
the meal ration to one and One-half

Poultry House With Open Front.

The question of what constitutes a
profitable and suitable. as well as
practical, house for poultry on the
farm is one that is often discussed.
II has many sides and. as most ques-
tions, Is one open to n great variety
of arguments and opinions. The open
air poultry house has lately received
considerable consideration. and It's ad-
vantages are not wholly undeserving.
Prof. James +. Rice. poultry husband
man at Cornell College of Agricul-
ture and 4 recognized authority on
all poultry subjects, is a firm believer
in the use OF more air in the poultry
house. lie considers that the open
air house has become a fixture in
modern poultry husbandry and dis
cusses the matter in the following
business-like manner:
We formerly thought We must keep
our hens warm in order to get the
best results. which required houses to
be artificially heated. The modern
poultry house Is single boarded and
tight with practically an open front
containing both cloth and glass, and
instead of costing from four to seven
dollars per hen. need not cost. even
with the present high prices of lum-
Der. to exceed two dollars per hen.
and in many instances even a less
amount.

doubt in the minds of certain poultry.

fact which we have demonstrated in

where we have been comparing

we cannot have both. Inasmuch as

to have both cloth and glass in front

President Wilson, without waiting for
the formal opening Of the campaign
He said a few days ago he desired to
