THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
COLONY HOUSES FOR POULTRY
Especially Handy on Leased Land
j. w. KELLER

/ -
After the brooder, before the laying
house, what then? The colony house i;
the answer. Chicks are generally ready
to leave the brooder at about six week;
of age-that is, when fully feathered
They are then able to take care of them
selves during the daytime, and, except
on cold, rainy days, the question of arti
fetal heat is not vital.
There are several types of colony
houses, but all should have the follow.
ing features: Perfectly dry, freedom
from drafts, well ventilated, easy to
clean and move this latter should be
done every season., and, lastly, they
should be attractive, but inexpensive.
Don't crowd the chicks in the colony
houses. Remember, they will be almost
grown before they are moved again.
Have perches removable, and do not
allow the chicks to roost until their
bones have hardened up considerably, or
they may have crooked breast bones.
When roosts are given, have them at
least two inches wide.
Can Be Made or Bought
For small fiocks suitable colony houses
may be made from large store boxes by
covering the top and three sides with
tar paper, the other side being made
of cellar window wire extending six
inches down from the top, which should
ordinarily be left uncovered, but there
should be curtain to drop over it in
bad weather. The balance of the side
should be hinged, so it can be thrown
open during the day, admitting sun
shine and fresh air.
The "A"-shaped colony house is quite
a favorite, as it combines roof and two
sides in cnespiece. 1t has also the added
virtue of being cheap, but is not so
easily cleaned as some of the others.
Most colony houses average about 6xs
feet in size, with shed roof and a large
wire-coyered window with curtain in
front. This type should be built on
skids, so that they. can be easily dragged
to new ground with the aid of a horse,
and, if tightly built, houses of this sort
can be used for layers and also breeders
in the winter, by the addition of nests,
hoppers. etc.
A word about placing the house.
Choose well-drained ground that is COW
cred with a heavy, sweet sod. An old
orchard is almost ideal, as the trees fur
nish shade during the hot summer days.
Clean away any brush piles or thickets
which might harbor vermin. and if the
same ground must be used year after
year, lime it, pillow it down each fall and
SOW with some suitable crop which will
afford green pasture for the growing
birds.

WHAT EVERY GARDEN NEEDS
E. o. MORTON

Perhaps the first essential for a sue
cessful garden is to plan it on paper
in detail before starting, so as to waste
no valuable space. Thus, if horse is
to be used for cultivating make the gar
den long and narrow. If, on the other
hand, the work is to be done by hand,
the work is to be done by hand the rows
should be nearer together and the garden
may be either square or rectangular.
Provide plenty of manure; that fail
ing. use fertilizer, part applied when
blowing and part in the rows as the
plants need it. Those who have no cold
frame sashes will find the little single
plant frames great help in starting the
melons, cucumbers, early annual flower
seeds, beans, etc. These cost about $3.50
for ten and come knocked down, with
the bolt holes all bored, so that il only
takes few moments with wrench to
put them together An added advantage
of these small frames is that insects
may be kept from the young plants
until they are strong enough to with
stand their attacks.

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Butter Market Firm, Egg Market Much
Smaller Than Usual in Spring.

Boston, May 6.--The local butter mar
ket is very firm and gives signs of GO
ing higher on fancy fresh goods. It
seems that storage goods are pretty
well culled over, and there is so little
| fine butter among these offerings that
the demand has to be met largely from
fresh made stock. The supply of the
latter, probably because of the unsea-
sonable weather, is not increasing as
rapidly as the demand, and it seems
likely that local prices will follow those
in other markets to higher level. No
change is noted in local cheese prices,
but the market has a firmer tone owing
to stronger adyices from the primary
markets. Fancy eggs are none too plen-
tiful and hold quite firm in price, but
the market is trifie easier on the less
desirable offerings.
The egg market is complex affair:
the production is nowhere nearly as
heavy as il usually is at this time of
the year, storage holdings fall far short
of other years at this season, and II is
said that the big spectators have not
secured as many April eggs as they are
likely to need next fall. 1t would seem
in view Of these factors that prices
would not be much lower for time,
but efforts to push up the market are
not very successful, as the spectators
seem to fear keen foreign competition
along in the fall, and view present prices
as too high.
