be constructed at on expense OF about
$40 for material. This house has one
half of the front open, and is adapted
for southern conditions, but in locali-
ties where much snow or rain Is apt
to blow into the house or where the
winters are severe It is advisable to
insert a curtain of burlap or thin mus

Of cheap and simple construction may
be laid; such a floor is a good protec-
ton against rats The plan shows a
6-inch shutter on the back just under
the caves, which is recommended for
use in the south. This must be con-
structed SO that 1t can be closed to
prevent any draft on the hens in cold
weather. The house should face to-
ward the south. The nests may be
placed directly under the dropping
boards or on the walls of the house
rather than on the floor. The ma
terials TzAuired for building the house

Two pieces by 4 inches by 10

water should be kept out of the di
rect rays of the sun. During the fall
and winter months, when colds and
roup are apt to appear among the
poultry, II is advisable to add the
amount of permanganate of potash
which will remain on the face of a
10-cent piece to each gallon of drink

present and cure these troubles. Al

Classified Lands for Agricultural Use.
One of the largest tasks of the
forestry service during the past year
has been the classification of lands
within the national forests In respect
to their highest future use. This work
was undertaken during 1913 on a more
comprehensive scale than ever before.
because there was a specific appro-
priation for the purpose. Large areas
are being classified where the amount
OF land chiefly valuable for agricul
ture. warrants its being taken out OF
the forests, and it also takes care OF
areas on which detailed classification
will disclose small areas suitable for
agricultural development within the
forests. The. work is being carried
on with the assistance of the bureau
OF soils and the bureau of plant in.
dnstry. department Of agriculture
One result OF this work was the
elimination of 100000 acres from the
Nebraska national forest, $4,000 acres
from the Rainier, in Washington. ano
413,770 acres from the Deschutes and
Paulina. in Oregon. About 100000
acres in small isolated tracts wert
listed for settlement during the year
The areas now being examined for
classification have total area OF
about 100000 acres. II

II takes a healthy, well-fed flock to
produce eggs. Fowls must not be al
lowed to become too fat, as but few
eggs will be laid by hens in such con-
dition. To prevent their getting over
fat, II is best to make them work for
most Of their feed by scratching in
the litter, of which there should be
about four inches on the floor. This
litter can be of straw, leaves or chaff.
and should always be kept dry.
A good feed for egg production is
one composed of corn, wheat and
oats, equal parts by measure. 1t is
advisable to use homegrown grains
whenever possible. In sections where
corn and oats do not thrive, other
grains can be used to good advantage,
for example, a mixture of equal parts
by measure of kafir corn, oats and
barley will produce good results.

New bridges Needed.
In the past few years Shawnee coun-
ty has been forced into the expense Of
replacing the old wooden and earlier
built iron bridges which have been in
service 20 years or longer and the de-
mands for this sort Of outlay have
been coming heavier than the funds
held out to meet them- Several bridges
been replaced last year have gone over
until new tax money II available and
AZ many Of them ~ possible will go
into the budget for 1914-15. The tax
payers have the consolation that the

right away. Two Of these are called
for on the East Fourth street road
which Is only serviceable for local
travel for lack Of means OF passage
over Deer creek where a structure to
cost between $1,000 and $4,000 is
needed and over a deep ravine just
west of the Stevenson farm. where be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000 would cover
the expense Of bridge and fill.
A bridge estimated to cost about
81, 500 is needed over Butcher creek
between Highland Park and the Coun-
try club. A similar outlay would re-
place the Shaky old pile bridge on
South Kansas avenue a quarter OF g
mile from the Hensler farm. The old
bridge il said to be unsafe as the
pilings are rotting out.
The McCauley bridge over the Wa
karusa south Of Auburn II more than
20 years old and calls for replace

that an outlay Of $500 Is needed

already been submitted for it. the low

bridges are needed in Dover township
where about $1,000 will have to be
spent.

ment, by which an effort is being made
to move at least part OF the south's
enormous cotton crop this year Instruc-
tons have been issued to the managers
of Goodyear's eight branches in the cot
ton belt to buy bales Of cotton and place
them in the branch show windows Each
balo bears the name and address of the
planter from whom it.shas been purchased
and in addition an exhortation to others
to do likewise.
The present situation, due to the &C
emulation OF such large crop with no
means OF selling it, may yet prove of
value to southern farmers" says a Good
year official who has just returned from
the south. TOO much reliance has been
placed by farmers on one, or at best. two
staple crops. When these fail, or when
they cannot be turned into cash, the
farmers are left helpless. Many of them
buy almost all their food products. This
condition is likely to be changed as a
result of this years experience. More
diversified crops and more scientific till
ing is already being urged, and northern
farmers and their ideas are now more
welcome in the south than ever before"
