GOOD VENTILATION
In POULTRY HOUSE
Simplest and Cheapest Way to
Furnish Fresh Air to Fowls
Is tc Have Muslin Front.
By WALTER B. LEUTz.)

Fresh air keeps the house pure and
dry. Nothing will cause disease more
readily than damp house or one
which has foul odor.
There are several ways to supply
ventilation, but the simplest and least
expensive is to have an open or mus
lin covered front. These open fronts
on the houses should be protected in
some way to prevent the rains and
SHOWS from being blown into the in.
terror. It is a good plan to attach
an awning made of wood or some
other light material, arranged in such
a manner that it can be lowered OF
raised.
Muslin will keep out. the cold and
rain to certain extent, but when it
gets wet the cloth loses some of its
merit as ventilator, as damp muslin
will not permit free passage of air.
By protecting the muslin with an
awning it will not be affected in that
way The muslin should be put on
frame so that it can be removed on a
pleasant day, allowing fresh air to
circulate through the house on such
days.

HINTS FOR HORSE BREEDERS
Best Animal for Average Farmer Is
Heavy Mare-Breeding of Fancy
Horses Requires Training.

The heavy mare is the best animal
for the average farmer.
Do aot go into the breeding of fancy
horses unless you have been trained
in the business. Otherwise, stick to
the heavyweights.
Few men examine their horses feet
as often as they should
If your mare is to foal in March or
early in April, before grass comes, she
should have good care this winter.
Give her plenty of exercise and do
not keep her standing on a plank floor.
Feed her a little faxseed or bran
mash or boiled oats occasionally.
The colt dropped this fall ought to
be perfectly halter-broken before
spring.

LITTLE TASKS FOR

Odd Jobs That He Can ProfitabIy

AS far as possible the farmer should
adapt his products, both in variety and
quality, to the class of consumers who
It is the policy of the farmer to
supply what the city purchasers call
for, and he should know that as much
is paid for attractiveness as for quail
Ity.
Did you open that account with the
J farm last year? Do it now. Let no
day go by without its record of all inn
portant things that have been done on
the farm.
Hang up the forks. No other farm
tool is more dangerous in the winter
time than the forks standing about the
floor or lying with the tines sticking
out toward those who are at work. \
Never say there is time enough for
that tomorrow when there is time
enough today. Tomorrow will have
plenty of its own. And then who
knows what tomorrow will bring
forth?
If you take a potato crate when
you want to carry an armful of straw
you will have good deal more straw

BROODINESS OF HEN

Sitting Fever Grows in Intensit,

The quickest way to break ur
broodiness is to remove the hen from

require a week CT more to cure, bu.
when taken in time a few days viii

ample to set for young school girls. anyway" But

Away back in the days of the exposition, Mrs
Wattes says they we're taken for each other so
