The grain that is given to them
should be scattered through straw on
the floor of the house. It's great
sight to watch flock of healthy hens
make the straw fly when they want a
meal. Many poultrymen make the
floor of lime because they say that
the concrete wears the claws of the
hens.
Burned lime is placed over the
ground several inches deep and is
packed down hard Sufficient water
is then put on the lime to slake it
properly SO that it will form pasty
mortar, which is then allowed to dry
and harden. This sort of a floor is
very satisfactory and also furnishes
shells. A floor like this becomes worn
in spots and has to be renewed at
times, but it is very easy to place
lime in the depressions that are worn
by the hens, and put little water
on it,
The chicken house should always
face toward the south, and the north
and west sides should be carefully
closed Chickens have very little
body heat, SO the house must be care
fully protected against the cold. Ven
tilation cannot be handled in the same
way it is in stock barns Thin cotton
is stretched over the windows facing
the south. and this provides good ven
tilation without causing any drafts,
which are very dangerous to poultry
Very little headroom is needed by
chickens, so the back of this house is
only made feet 10 inches high,
while the front is feet 10 inches. A
small place such as this can be kept
warm by the poultry
Poultry houses are often neglected
in regard to appearances There is
no particular reason for this except
that the building is small and people
think that it will not make any differ
ence The necessary paint to make
niee-looking chicken house can be
had for very little money and it can
be applied easily in short time.
The walls are generally made Ut
drop siding and the inner walls can
be made in several ways. One Of the
best is with wall board Wall board
is 8 nonconductor of heat and cold
and is also alright and vermin proof.

One of the best ways to build e
poultry house is with a shed roof.
In addition to being fine for the poul-
try it is also easy to build. The de-
sign shown here has depth of ten
feet, which will allow the sunlight to
penetrate to the back part of the
building. There is nothing that en-
courages the hens to. lay. more than
lots of sunshine In the early spring
when eggs are out of sight in price
plenty of sunshine will keep the hens
on the job, which means that the man
who owns them is paying for we'll

make for him
1t is absolutely necessary to have
concrete foundation, as it is very
discouraging to rats and mice to at
tempt to dig through this material.
In this little house the concrete walls
are carried up l foot 6 inches above
grade. which forms very effective
barrier against the rodents that think
chicken houses form ideal dwellings
for them. The floor is also made of
concrete, SO that the rats cannot bur-
row up from underneath The floor
should be well covered with straw and
the feed can then be scattered
through this.
Strong, vigorous hens can only be
maintained if they are given plenty
of exercise. This is furnished by
making them scratch for their meals

New York and Next Year

There is talk in New York that
Gov Whitman and Gov. Glynn NAV
confront each other again next year.
This is current in circles where the
Whitman presidential boom lacks
persuasiveness. As the argument
runs, Gov. Whitman will not be
strong enough for his party's ma
tional purposes, but will be strong
enough for state purposes, and his
party will again avail itself of his
strength and put him at the head of
its state ticket. He:will readily con-
sent to. the arrangement because he
will. not have had enough of politics.
The gossip as to Gov. Glynn. is
based upon the contention that: he
lost last year, not because of any de-
merit Of his own, but because Of the
Sulzer fasco. then fresh in the public
mind, and the unpopularity of the
national administration. .Circum-
stances combined 10 make the year

local nor the national administration
was in favor, and the voters took

power.
There is no appeal from this de-
cision, and the District must accept
the situation. 1t sees the residential
qualification in effect repealed by
executive action and judicial prohi-
bition of intervention by the citi-
zens. 1t can only trust that in the
future, at least until possibly Con-
gsess has granted broader right of
appeal to the courts than the Su-
preme Court now permits, the execu-
tive, in making appointments to
local Office and the Senate in giving
consent TO such appointments, will

A senatorship also will be in the
scale, and there is gossip as to that.
Mr.. O'Gorman has made name for
himself in the Senate, and yet is said
to be out of favor at home. He is
under censure by Tammany for what
Tammany charges as indifference to
the interests of the organization, and
under censure by the national ad-
ministration for his course in both
the Panama canal tolls question and
the ship purchase question. He is
Tammany Indian all right, but off
the reservation. He is a democrat
all right, but not under the Presi-
dents domination.
Seeing chance to capture the seat,
the republicans are already examin-
ing available material. Some are ask
ing, why not Mr.. Root? He con-
siders himself too old for the presi-
Dental race, and for the burdens of
the office. But he would not be too
old to resume the burdens of sena-
torship, and there are many New
Workers who would be glad to vote
for him for that Office.
1t is seldom a public man receives
so many evidences of appreciation as
Mr.. Root is now doing. In certain
circles he is in high favor for the
presidency, notwithstanding his feel
ings in the matter. In other circles
hope is expressed that he may again
preside over the State Department,
where he did SO we'll for the coun-
try. And here now is mention of
him for the Senate, where he was a
leader, and would easily become a
leader again.
