WHY OPEN-FRONT HOUSES
ARE USED FOR


Pure air is of vital necessity to ami
mails as wen as to human beings, for
this great life giver is a mixture of two
gases, oxygen and nitrogen, in the pro-
portion of one of the former to four Of
the latter. The oxygen is absolutely es-
sontial for the publication of the blood.
and as the publication takes place in the
lungs. it is necessary that the air which
the fowls breathe should he pure and
lifo-giving. Now. while in the closed
houses the air may bc fresh and pure in
the evening, before the doors and win
dows are shut, it will become foul and
filled with poisonous gases given off by
the birds in breathing before morning,
thus little by little tending to weaken
the constitution of the birds.
The open-front house does away with
these evils. There are several types of
these houses, but the general plan is
the same; this consists of a room closed
on all sides except the open front. Win
dows. for light, and the door, are usual
liz placed ON the sides Of the building;
the front should always face the south
in order to get the fun sun. Usually
part of tho front is boarded to a height
of about three feet from the bottom. The
two types Of such houses generally rec
ognizecd are the Woods" and 'Tolman,"
both named after the men who introduce
ed them; the Woods house being, perhaps,
built on "A more scientific plan. In de-
scribing this type of house, Woods says:
1.-The open portion OF the south front
stays open all night and day the year
round and there are no curtains of any
kind. The only protection given the open
ing is the overhans of the caves and the
screen of quarter-inch mesh galvanized
wire netting. the screen is used over the

the small birds, like sparrows out. Beins
fine mesh wire screening 1t serves as a
sufficient protection from driving wind
rain and snow storms. and It is really
surprising how little Of a storm gets i'd
through this wire
Commenting on this type Of house Id
n recent issue of a poultry journal
James r.. Mormon says: TO keep fowl,
in such a house where the thermomete
drops from zero to 40 degrees below maj
seem 10 he the height of folly, becaus|
II might seem to risk the health and conn
fort Of the fowls: that has been one a
tho greatest mistakes of the poultry fri
du~try. The fact is that a house CON
structed on this plan dixie an even spa
house with the north side roof about
feet higher at the center than the soutl
side roof if made sufficiently long fro1
front to hack, say from IS to % feet u
more, is not only highly comfortable. bi
affords the pest protection to fowl
against drauChts. while providing thert
with abundance of fresh air. No MATED
how hard the wind may blow, it can1
penetrate any great depth into the intd
rior of such a house" The e~xplanatioI
Of this latter fact Is In the overhang d

THE WHY'S AND WHERE
FORES OF PRUNING.
"rrunc When the knifc ~ SHARP

As soon as artificial. conditions are in
troduced into plant life it is necessary
to adopt artificial means in order to
accomplish natures work. hence the
necessity of pruning trees and shrubs.
lndcr natural conditions plants grow
thickly, one crowds upon the other, and
thus superfluous plants as well as
branches are crowded out. Under ar
tificial conditions there is no such force
at work. and trees and plants are set
out at distances which prevent natural
pruning. and thus the available plant
food is Increased. This in turn excites
growth so that the distances between
the different whorls of branches, which
naturally develop near the end of the
growth of each season. become great,
and give the plant an open form and
appearance Of having been built in sec
lions.
by pruning the gardener Shorton% this
annual growth, with the result that the
treo or shrub Is given a more compact
and symmetrical form, ana is. therefore.
better suited to serve a special purpose.
whether it bs as an ornament or as a
bearer of fruit In tho important process
OF h~eading-in caro- SHOULD be used In or
der that the plant NAV not assume an
artificial shape. The hcadlng-in." says
an expert, Should he : corrective, rather
then a directive rroccs% that il, the
heading-in Should only rs sufficient TO
counterbalance the augmented growth"
CORRECTING NATURE
Another reason why pruning Is ncccs-
sary is that many of our m
trees and shrubs have an unfortunate
natural habit Of growth. resulting in 4
form of branching which makes the trees
very susceptible to damage from high
winds or heavy SHOWS. 1t is the business
of the gardener to prevent such branch
ing and to direct the growth OF the tree
so as to force it to distribute its branches
In such a way as to overcome this tend
ency. As an example Of this undesirable
system of branching there is the silver
Maple and Carolina Poplar. These trees
branch 50 as to throw two strong shoots
from the point of a branching, each
or which grows a. about the same rate,
with n very narrow angle between them;
the result Is that as the branches In
crease in size, the union between them
being imperfect, severe pressure has a
tendency to split them apart,
The pruning of fruit trees Is. of course,
extremely necessary. not only for tho
purpose of checking the growth, but for
the purpose of thinning the fruit as
well 1t Is generally known that check
Ing the growth OF a fruit tree has a tend
ency to Increase fruitfulness. To a limit
ed extent pruning win accomplish this,
ana, strange as it may appear, pruning
Is frequently resorted to in order to
stimulate growth in plants. Thus when
a very young tree is received from the
nursery, II 1t looks weak the watchful
gardener cuts IT back during the resting
period that all the strength of the root
may be given to the formation OF n
J sturdler stalk
