very much cubic air space. This is one reason for putting the roof of 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 roosts. The warmer air naturally finds its way up along the sloping roof to the front of the house. In this way a natural cir culation of air is kept going all night and all day.
 A shed roof poultry house may be built in such a way as to add good deal to the appearance of the place. As the illustration shows, there should be considerable projection of roof and this calls for a neat finish all around the edge. Also the different door frames and window frames should be painted a different color from the body of the house.
 This particular plan calls for wood en siding lined on the inside with building paper The paper is put onto the studding and is covered over with the siding. The smooth side of the paper is turned in and all 2x4s used for studding are dressed four sides. Also the rafters and girts are dressed all around and finished smooth before being put into place.

No Hiah Relief in Russia.

Economic and geographic areas of Russia are in no case separated by physical barriers, as is our Pacific slope from the states east of the Rocky mountains, or even the Allan tic seaboard from the territory beyond the Alleghenies.
 Russia is without high relief; the watersheds are almost imperceptible elevations.
 Indeed, European Russia is so fiat that the Baltic-Black Sea canal is to be made available for large ocean going vessels by the construction of only two locks
 Naturally. therefore, the rivers and waterways of Russia have been of unusual importance, especially before the days of the railroad, in binding the different economic areas togsther, affording magnificent arteries for the movement of internal trade 10th in winter and summer.
