The secret of success in RAISING
poultry is to provide conditions as
nearly natural as possible. Such con.
ditions the farmer-poultryman is in
position to provide. With unlimited
range at his disposal there is no need
tor him to crowd his poultry into
small yards. Limited range. encum-
bered with large numbers of division
fences, makes 1t impossible to give
the poultry yards proper cultivation.
This causes them to become filthy
and unsanitary, a condition which il
responsible for most poultry diseases
The success of poultry enterprises is
usually measured by the extent of
range provided for the purpose Com
mercial plants which depend upon
small yards are usually short-lived.
Better sanitary conditions would yield
the farmer more satisfactory results.
The most common mistake in locat-
Ing the farm poultry house is that of
placing it so close to other farm build
ings that hens overrun the latter. The
usual plan OF locating the poultry
house between the barns and the
dwelling house, is especially disagree
able since 1t encourages the hens to
not only overrun the barns, but the
back porch Of the house as well. This
habit is encouraged by throwing the
crumbs, table scraps, etc, out from
the kitchen door. Under such cond;.
tons poultry keeping is not only un-
pleasant but impractical and the read
er Is urged to consider these points
In selecting satisfactory site.
A low spot is unsuitable for a poul-
try house, because surface water is
apt to accumulate and damp air al
ways settles in such a place. Land
which is naturally wet, either because
of the nature of the soil or because
OF springy conditions, should be prop
erly drained. Muddy quarters cause
fowls to consume large amounts of
Nth. This in addition to the damp |
ness of such location results in I'M
healthful focks. There is also the |

The location OF poultry house in ar

damp. The trees furnish necessary

Poultry raising has resolved itself
into two systems: the intensive sys
tenn, involving houses of considerable
size, or many houses, and a large
amount OF stock upon q small area
and the extensive or colony house
system, in which small houses are
scattered over large areas. The for
mer has advantages In, that the labor
resulting from the care of the flock. es.
pecially during the winter, is reduced
to a minimum. In general the ex.
pense of housing is less than where
fowls are kept in small flocks. II
has the disadvantage of increasing the
amount of yard care on account of
the limited yard space. The intensive
system, with many small houses. as
usually practiced in city lots, involves
an enormous amount OF detail work
unpleasant in bad weather, and too
expensive as system to be practical
except where more favorable condi.
tons are impossible.
The extensive or colony house sys.
tenn necessitates more labor in the
care of the fiocks during stormy
weather when the birds are confined
1t has the advantage, however. of un |
limited yard space and yard fencing |
can be quite largely eliminated. Often |
the poultry can be permitted the range
OF fields after the crops are started
without appreciable injury to the crop
utilizing to good advantage the drop |
pings which would otherwise go to
waste In some localities worthless |
land has been brought to a high state
OF fertility by this practice.
The most healthful and economical
method of raising the young chickens
Is the portable house system. The
houses are moved about the farm in
such places as orchards, farm lanes
cornnelds, wheat and barley fields
after the grain has been removed
Inc shade, green food. bugs, worms,
etc., are much more
conducive to a rapid, healthful growth
lhan are the conditions usually found
around the dooryard.

dispatch to the Petit Parisien, Rou-
mania having agreed to cede terri
tory in Dobrudja. The two countries
will enter the war simultaneously, the
dispatch says, Roumania against
Austria and Bulgaria against Tur-

powers are said to be busy co-ordina-

Negotiations between, Roumania
and Russia over the lines of the Pruth
and of Banat are said to be virtually
complete. If Russia accepts Rou'
mania's proposals the latter country
is declared to be ready to begin hos
tilities without delay.
Dorbrudja is part of Roumanla
bounded on the east by the Black Sea
and on the north and west by the
Danube river. AS a consequence OF
the second Balkan war between Bull
garia and Serbia and Greece, Rou-
mania took from Bulgaria large
slice of territory and added it to Do
brudja province on the south.
