The question of what constitutes q
profitable and suitable, as well az
practical, house for poultry on the
farm is one that is often discussed.
1t has many sides and, as most ques-
tons, is one open to a great variety
Of arguments and opinions. The open
arr poultry house has lately received
considerable consideration, and It's adj
vantages are not wholly undaserving.
Prof James &. Rice. poultry husband
man at Cornell College OF Agricul-
ture and a recognized authority on
all poultry subjects, is q firm believer
In the use Of more air In the poultry
house. He considers that the open
air house has become 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 trent
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.
ber to exceed two dollars per hen,
and In many instances even less
amount.
There may be some question Of
doubt In the minds Of certain poultry
men as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of using
cloth over some OF the window open
ings in place Of glass, particularly

TO ExTERMlNATE THE MITES
Paint Inside Of Nests, Roosts, Sup

Liquid Every TWO Weeks.

Mites are the smallest kind of lice
and are SO small that they quite often
escape notice They live on the fowls
at night, but leave in the morning and
hide In the woodwork of the henhouse.
particularly the roosts, nests and near
by woodwork. The way to extermin-
ate them is to paint the insides Of the
nests. the roosts and the roost sup
ports, etc, with some good lice-killing
liquid every two weeks, or with kero-
sene once week.
Then drive the hens outdoors on a
warm afternoon, close the house up
tight and burn enough sulphur In 1t to
fill the building absolutely full Of
dense blue fumes and keep 1t closed
for an hour or two. These fumes will
get all through the house, into cracks
3tc. and win kill the mites.

tRx PROF.. O. n. TuRPIN.l

(By PROF. O. M. TURPIN)
A good breed OF fowls properly bred
is the first essential of successful egg
production. For egg production alone
the White or the Brown Leghorns are
unsurpassed. For the general farmer
and others desiring both meat and
eggs, White or Barred Rocks, White
Wyandottes and Rhode Island Reds
head the list Keep only one breed
and breed these by continuous selec-
ton for vigor and egg production.
No hens should be kept for laying
purposes after their second laying
year. On an average hens will lay rs
per cent as many eggs during their
second laying year as they will during
the first. After this they viii seldom
lay enough eggs at market prices to
pay for their feed
The ability to hatch and rear young
stock Is third essential. For the
general farmer keeping not more than
one or two hundred fowls, the natural
method of Matching and brooding can
not be improved upon. For those in
the business of egg production on a
larger scale. incubators and brooders
are necessity

always dry inside and admits plenty
OF fresh air and sunshine without

drafts, must be provided. This Is &C.
complished 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 variety OF cheap grains
and mill products Of good quality
When fowls do not have access to in
sects, meat food Of some form Is an
absolute necessity. Lime In the form
Of ground oyster shell or old plaster,
should be provided, together with
plenty Of green food and fresh water
at all times
Economy Of labor is the sixth es-
sential Of profitable egg production,
This can be largely brought about In
three ways: % 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 week, instead of several times
day. 90 by the use Of water
system which does away with the
necessity Of carrying water to the
fowls, and by giving the stock plenty
OF free range during both summer and
winter months.

TEACH THE CHICKS TO RooST
Heavy Paper Is Best for Brooder Floors
and Should Be Changed Daily
Give Tepid Water.

AS soon as the chicks are old enough
they should be taught to roost outside
of the brooders upon perches placed
near the floor. Keep the floors we'll
covered with clean litter Never use
sawdust.
Heavy paper is best for the brcoder
floors. These should be taken out and
burned every day and replaced with
fresh ones.
A good way to keep an incubator
clean is to cover the nursery floor
with heavy paper before the chicks be-
gin to hatch.
Don't feed the chicks anything for
at least twenty-four hours after they
are Matched. Better wait forty eight
hours before feeding. But they should
have all the tepid water they VIII
drink right from the start.

from the fear that the hens will SUIT

fact which we have demonstrated In
our experiments covering three years
Where we have been comparing
houses otherwise similar, one contain
ing glass, another cloth and still 9TH
ers with both cloth and glass. and one
without either. that we found on an
average during the winter. the tenn

degrees colder than the house with

purer air. The hens have been. as q
rule, healthier and have given us our
best general results as compared to
the house with the glass windows. In
other words, we have found that al

other things being equal. the very
cold house would be less desirable.
nevertheless, hens will do far better
