The Same Thino.

Secretary Garrison, apropos Of his
bill for creating six vice-admirals, said
at a luncheon in Washington:
This bill will make things better
from a diplomatic standpoint, though
the actual working of the navy itself
will be like Brown.
Brown, idle through slack times,
started to tramp to Buffalo by way of
the Erie canal to look for job.
He met on his way a good many
canal boats coming up and down, and
finally, stopping canal boat captain,
he offered to work his passage.
The captain took him ON and set
him to leading the horses along the
towpath.
He led the horses for two days,
thinking hard. On the third day he
had thought it all out, and he resigned.
By the powers he said, I might
as well walk as work my passage. :"

Poultry can be raised successfully
on any well-drained soil. A light loan.
which will grow good grass, is we'll
adapted for this purpose; while very
light, sandy soil, through which the
water teaches freely. will stand more
Intensive poultry conditions, but most
OF the green feed for the fowls kept
on such soil will have to be pur-
chased. A heavy clay or adobe soil,
10 not as well adapted to poultry
raising. as such land does not drain
readily and 1t Is much more difficult
to keep the stock healthy, says Farm
ers' bulletin 574, department of agri-
culture.
Long stationary houses, or the in
tensive system. saves steps. but 1t is
easier to keep the birds healthy and
to reproduce the stock under the col
ony system where the birds are al
lowed free range Breeding stock,
and especially growing chickens,
should have an abundance OF range,
while hens used solely for the pro-
duction OF market eggs may be kept
on a very small area with good re-
suits. The colony house system neces-
states placing the houses, holding
about one hundred hens, apart two
hundred TO two hundred and fifty
feet, 80 that the stock will not kill
the grass. The colony system may be
adapted to severe winter conditions
by drawing the colony houses togeth-
or in convenient place at the begin
ming of winter. thus reducing the la
Dor during these months.
Roof and Front
The roof is the most expensive but
a most important part of the poultry
house. and should be water-tight.
Single roofs should have one-third
pitch, while those covered with paper
or metal may have less pitch. or be
almost fiat; however. the greater the
slope the longer the life of the roof.

The shed or single-slope roof is adapt
20 to houses up to sixteen feet in
width. II Is one of the easiest styles
to construct. It allows high front
to the house, and furnishes a north
ern slope for the roof on which roofing
paper will last longer than on a roof
which faces the south.
The combination and semtmonitor
roofs are adapted for the buildings
from sixteen to twenty-four feet wide,
while either of these styles, or the
monitor and the gable roof, may be
used for wider buildings. The com
bination roof on a house over sixteen
feet wide gives the best head room
at the least cost, reduces the amount
Of surplus air space, and gives q neat
appearance to the buildings: while
the semi-monitor and monitor types
are best for wide houses which have
a central alley. particularly brooder
houses
The semi-monltor house usually
faces south, while the monitor type
OF roof is frequently used on build
ings facing east or west. The gable
roof is used extensively for two-story
buildings, for brooder houses, and for
Incubator cellars. This style OF roof
is usually ceiled at or slightly above
the caves, or the globe may be filled
with straw or some kind of absorbent
material, which tends to keep such
houses dry and warm. The A-shaped
