PREPARE HOUSE FOR WINTER
First Move Should BE In Direction Of
Observation-Disclosures Before
Furnishing New Litter,

Before the cold weather comes on,
put the hen house in winter shape,
says a raiser of chickens in an ex-
change. The first move should be in
the direction of cleanliness. Remove
every movable object, boxes, barrels,
ETC., sweep thoroughly overhead and
underfoot, after scraping out all drop
pings. Then disinfect before refilling
scratch-litter. Whitewash with un-
Stacked lime to which kerosene has
been added, if other insecticides seem
too expensive, and lay it on generous
ly. Paris green in the wash is excel
lent as germ killer. but fill all cracks
everywhere.
Next, if water is prone to freeze in
the coolest weather, make the hennery
warm with a dead air space between
the walls and a sheathing of building
paper. l recommend a cheap grade of
paper because it will need to be torn
off in the spring when the periodical
drive against insects is inaugurated
Then put on q storm door, however
rude, to overlap the cracks around the
ordinary entrance, disinfect drinking
dishes, look to ventilation without
drafts, and make sure that the floor iE
warm, even if banking of earth ol
sawdust has to be applied. Put in g
big supply of road dust for baths and
plenty of gravel and sharp grit.
Now Gull the flock and get the rest
adapted to the changed appearance o.
things early, so the laying which il
revived after molting, will not receive
a setback, as is usually the case aftel
any abrupt alteration.

CHICKENS IN LIMITED SPACE
ticuIarIy Constructed to Give Am
pie Protection.

The poultry house shown in the ac-
companying illustration will appeal
particularly to those who wish to keep
the largest possible number of egg
producing birds in a limited space,
and is particularly constructed to give
protection against cold, damp and
wind. 1t really consists of an outer
shed with a gabled roof covering the
entire floor space, and an inner con-
struction with non-conducting roof
to neutralize changes of temperature.
The whole floor, with the exception of
passage at the back, is scratching
space.
The perches are hung from the in
ner roof by iron hooks, thus being
vermin proof. and beneath are the
nesting boxes. Food and water are
supplied on the raised platform out
side the roosting place, the hens get
ting additional exercise from going

the cap lay and take look at Il, and
just as he got near to the cap he
thought he saw something in it move,
and going a little closer, he saw it
was bird.
'What are you doing here?' said
Jack Rabbit as soon as he recovered
from his surprise"
"Why / have found the finest nest
in all the wood" said the bird. Il had
hunted for days and days for bits of
string and cloth with which to build
my nest, and then this morning, right
here, under this tree, l found a nest
all built for me. Every bird that has
seen It envies me and shall have the
best home for my children Of any bird
in all these parts. l cannot under
stand how anyone who owned SO fine
cap as this would ever have thrown
it away"
1T certainly is a fine nest" said the
rabbit, "and l am sure your children
will appreciate it."
And then as he walked away Jacl
Rabbit said to himself: "How could
have found better application o.
the wisdom that Mr.. Fox told me yes
terday, when he said that content
ment with what we have is the great
est source of happiness"

BOOKS FOR A BOYS LIBRARY
"AlIan ouatermaIn" and "King Solo
mons Mines" Are Good Stories
of Mystery and Adventure.

Amid multitude of suggestions for
the twenty-fifth book in Librarian Leg
ler's list of books for boys we have
missed two that, in our opinion, ought
to be included in the library of every
normal boy, says Chicago Evening
Post. They are not books of instruc-
ton or moral improvement-they are
Just ripping good stories of mystery
and adventure, and they were both
written by Rider Haggard. The boy
who has not read ALLAN Quatermain"
and king Solomon's Mines has a
treat in store for him. II he is not
thrilled by the exploits of that old
Zulu warrior Umslopogaas, he is a
queer boy. And what has happened
to Jules Verne? Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea" and The
Clipper OF the Clouds" are better
worth reading today than ever in the
light of submarine and seroplane
achievement.

JACK RABBIT GETS WELL.

Jack Rabbit continued to improve
after Mister Fox came to visit him in
his bUrrow, but he was still rather
weak on the morning when he started
for the first time since his illness to
visit the fox in his home on the hill.
AS he started out he thought again
of the last lesson that the fox had
taught him, and said to himself:
This walk is not going to be half so
hard as it seems, If only keep up my
courage"
Jack Rabbit had thought many
times of the lesson that had been SO
well shown by the fox, when he
walked through the spiders web, after
the beetle and the humble bee had
failed.
Mister Fox was watching for the
rabbit, and while he was still long
way off saw him coming and ran down
to meet him.
well, WELL" said the fox, II am
certainly glad to see you and looking
80 well, too. One would scarcely
think that you had been ill at all.

The crank is then run through the

the nut. The wheel is then slipped
on the axle, and another washer and

bearings, cranks and brackets are
made alike. The brackets are fastened
with small bolts to the sled top.

Winter Hen House.

up and down ladder ways to their
meals. The ventilation both day and
night is perfect, the air coming in
through an open wire front, circulat-
ing between the roofs and under the
floor of the roosts, etc, and through
the nesting compartment. At night,
when the birds are roosting, the
scratching space can be left open ex-
cept for wire doors, and the litter
turned and thoroughly sweetened
ready for next day. The entire floor
space is 1923 feet, but the house can be
extended indefinitely and econom-
ically.

PREPARE FOR COLD WEATHER
Broods Of Chickens Scattered Here
and There Must BE Gathered In
Idle Hens Don't Lay.

When the cold winds of autumn be-
gin to blow new cares and RESPONSE
bilities confront the poultryman and
woman. Broods of chickens which
have been scattered here and there in
order to keep them separated must be
gathered In and housed. for the severe
weather of the winter is at hand.
Supplies of vegetables must be
stored, gravel for the hens and sand
for the ducks must be boxed or stored
away In the dry, while still finer sand
or fine earth must be procured for the
much needed dust bath. Straw or some
kind OF clean litter must be forthcom-
ing for scratching material to keep
the biddies busy through the long dark
days OF ~.cter. Idle hens are not lay
ing hens, Even the forest and fruit
tree leaves may be utilized for this
purpose.

PRoPELLERS FOR HAND SLED
Two Medium-slzed Buggy Wheels
Made Use OF to Transmit Power
Pointed Nails Help.

Desiring to propel my hand sled
with power transmitted by cranks and
wheels, set about to procure the nee
essary materials. Two medium-sized
buggy wheels were found in the back
yard of blacksmith shop, which were
procured for a nominal price. The
fellies of these wheels were removed,
the lemons cut from the spokes and
nails substituted, which were driven
in their ends so that about one-half
inch of the body with the head project

Mechanics. The heads were then re-
