viii Permit Institutions To Lend On

Des Moines.-The house passed q
bill by Smith of Cass, providing for
the incorporation of state farm mort
gage banks by vote Of SO for and 3
against. Any ten persons may or
ganize such an institution providing
it has capital of not less than $50-
900 to loan money on first mortgages
on farms to not more than so per cent
of the lands value.
The loans shall be made under the
supervision and control of the bank.
ing department of the office OF the
state auditor The mortgages are to
be deposited with the state auditor as
trustee and bonds issued against them
to an amount not greater than the
amount of the mortgages so deposited.
The bank may not issue bonds to
exceed twenty times its paid-up CAPT.
tai and surplus. The abstracts shall
be examined by the attorney general
and no mortgage shall be accepted
by the state auditor as security for
bonds unless the attorney generals
report of the examination OF title
shows the mortgage to be first
valid lien. The fees for supervision
and control by the attorney general
and auditor of state are paid by the
bank so that there is no cost to the
state.
The purpose Of the bill, according
to its author, is to make larger mar
ket for farm mortgages. Iowa land
has now become so valuable he says
that the loans run in large amounts,
too large to be handled by the small
investors, hence the large life insur-
ance companies furnish the principal
market for farm mortgages.
According to the provisions Of the
bill, bonds may be issued in denomt
nations to suit small investors. The
security Of these bonds is safeguard
ed by law.

Shed roof poultry houses present the

Poultry houses are always faced in a

ways closed in tight at the north and
west, because the prevailing cold
winds usually come from those two d.
rections. The sun shining against the
high side of the building during the
day usually keeps the house comfort

of the stored up heat. In addition to

common in the eastern states where
thousands of farmers keep poultry for
profit. Some of them keep poultry
only IN a smaii way. but they have
studied the needs of laying hens and
have provided means to keep them
comfortable and to induce them to lay
eggs in the winter time.
These shed roof poultry houses are
cheaply built and are easily made com.
Portable for the fowls in all kinds OF
weather. Usually such houses are
made quite low at the back. Some are
as low as three feet. being designed
for the comfort of the fowls rather
than for the convenience. Of the atten-
dant, because considerable STOPPING is
required when doing the cleaning in
the back part of house.
When shed roof poultry houses are
ventilated by means Of cheese-cloth
covered openings in front. they are
easily provided with fresh air.
The general ground plan is to leave
the whole floor space free to be COW

for scratching purposes. Laying hens
must be kept busy to prevent them
from getting too fat In order to man
ufacture eggs the hens must be well
fed The difference between fat hens
and laying hens depends upon the kind
Of food rather than the quantity. but
the element OF exercise has good
deal to do with the keeping of laying
hens In proper condition.
In these shed roof poultry houses
the droppings board usually is placed
under the low roof at the back. The
roosts are supported a few inches
above the droppings board and the
nest boxes are suspended underneath.
This work is all done in such a way
that the whole outfit may be taken out
easily and the whole inside OF the
house may be thoroughly cleaned. The
easy cleaning proposition is worked
out in connection with all parts OF the
house. Cleanliness means great
deal in the poultry house
The plan Of this particular design
further provides for closed-in room
for brooding coops. This room may
be divided by a partition. or 1t may be
made into one room for the use Of
houses. Some poultrymen use this
center room for the nest boxes as
well as for broody hens The laying Is
principally done in December. January
and February and brooding seldom
commences before March
Shed roof poultry houses seem to
work out better than any other style
OF roof when 1t comes to ventilation.
II Is not easy to manage poultry
house In such way as to ventilate It
properly. The ventilation in all farm
buildings depends on a certain degree
of warmth Large animals. such as
cattle and horses, have considerable
body warmth, which sets the air In
motion. Fowls are so small that their
body heat is not sufficient to warm
very much cubic air space. This 10
one reason for putting the roof Of a
poultry house low down at the back.
Hens require very little head room
In this plan the manner OF placing
the droppings board and roosts close
up against the low back roof helps
splendidly In ventilation. because the
fresh air comes In through the thin
cotton cloth ventilators in front and
takes the place of the warmer heated
air around the poultry roost- The
warmer air naturally finds its way up
along the sloping roof to the front OF
the house In this way a natural cir.
