BURGLAR LEFT In A HURRY
Incident That Taught Him It. Was
Wise to, Avoid Houses Wherein
Are Young Children.

"Of course; in my business, same az
In any other" said the retired bur
glar, you learn by experience. One Of
the first things 1 learned in that way
was to avoid houses where they had
young children, infants.
Grown folks may sleep right
through thunderstorms, windstorms,
things falling down in the house. most
any sort of racket, but you never can
tell what an infant will do. And those
same grown-up folks that will sleep
right through anything else will wake
up sharp at the smallest peep from
an infant. They seem to be tuned
that way. But l had to learn this by
experience. "
zone night when was new in the
business went into what seemed to
me a promising looking house in the
suburban districts. Got in by the easy
cellar window and padded upstairs to
the second story front room with no
trouble at all and went straight to
the bureau. opened the top drawer
gently, without a queak, and when
turned in my light the very first thing
i saw was diamond ring that I guess
must have made my eyes sparkle as
much as the ring did. 1t was q big
stone, I should think two or three car
ats. :. - ~ I,-e.,~'
. 1T was aman's ring, and instead OF
slippingsit straight into my pocket as
l should have done I put it on my fin

But the instant that baby cried one Of

looked over into the crib at the child,
and I didn't need to have anybody tell
me that it was time for me to go.

POULTRY HOUSE SITE
Convenience Is Main Thing to Be
Considered.
Locate the Structure So That the
Strong Winds viii BE At lts Back, :,
With Windows In Front
Drainage Of importance.

~ The builder Of a farm poultry house
should carefully consider the available
sites, and put it where the fowls will
do best, and where it will be easiest
to look after them.
Convenience is the main thing to be
regarded on farm where there Is
much work to be done other than TAX
ing care OF the chickens. Put the house
or houses close enough to, the resi-
dence that 1t will be easy to look after
the inmates ,..,, ....
q, At the same time, all natural ad-
vantages Of location should be con-
sidered. II there is sheltering hill
near enough to- be used as a wind
break, place the house so the strong
winds from the west, northwest and
north will be Tended off by the higher
ground. Set the house SO the wind
will be at its back, and this means. in
most localities, that the doors and the
greater number of windows should be
on the south, the southeast or the
southwest. .z..s. d.,
Where there is windbreak of trees
or even of buildings, take advantage
of them If the site is suitable other
wise. These windbreaks will make
lot of difference in stormy, blustery
weather. There are many cold days
when the birds could very we'll stay
outside If they were protected from
high winds. laA"
Another thing to be watched is the
problem Of drainage. Damp, low
ground, no matter how well the hen
house will be sheltered, is not suitable
for chicken shelter. There should
be slope downward from the build
ing to make certain that 1t will not be
damp and clammy on the inside. ~
Thorough drainage should be as
sured even II it is necessary to lay a
few rods OF thing Where sandy and
naturally we'll drained site can be
chosen, the drainage will take care OF
itself If nothing Is done to hinder 1t.
Never build house in a hollow as 1t
will be just about impossible to keep
the chickens healthy in such a struc-
ture. ,..,, ~ ss3.sE
The building itself can be adapt
ed to the pocketbook of the builder.
Where the climate Is not unreasonably
cold in winter, unreasonable from the
standpoint of poultry management.
the house may be built very .cheaply.
It must turn the rain, shut out drafts
and be dry under foot, but it need not
be heavy, built of expensive material
or very permanent in character. IA.
In fixing on the site for the house
care should be. taken not to get the
building or any part of it where it will
be Swallowed by any other building
or by dense clump Of trees. The
sunlight should strike the building all
