Hen Notes

Hen NOTES
Too much glass i'm the hen house is
not an advantage. Hens do not need
heat so much as they do an even tenn
perature materially during the day;
at night they radiate heat, lowering
the temperature of the room.
If every third window is removed
and the opening covered snugly with
close burlap or unbleached muslin,
thermometer will prove that the tenn
perature of the house is much more
even. Of course the building must be
snugly built and free from draughts,
and the roosting space must be snug
and not too large. But hens need
fresh air as much as they do warmth
and sunshine, and this the cloth cover
ed windows furnish without allowing
draught TO blow over the fowls.
Don't let any cabbage or other roots
go to waste; in fact it is quite worth
while to raise them especially for the
hens. Tie a stout string round the
roots Of several cabbages and tie them
up i'm the hen rouse so that the hens
can just nicely reach them. 1t is in
teresting to see how excited they get
over picking away the delicious green
stuff; continued performance of this
kind helps to fill the egg basket.

what she is worth to keep her. Let's
have clearing out, right now. No
more tramp hens.
Lots of farmers do first rate getting
eggs, but they fail terribly in getting
rid of them. Most farms need good
saleman, not only for eggs but for
everything else.
Don't waste money fattening an old
hen. Take her right out of the coop
and let her slide for what you can get
You will be money ahead.

the money raised is divided equally
among the lightweight counties, CIV.
ing to each county about $3O,OOO OF
state aid each year. In addition 10
this, the county raises 100000 for the
same kind of road. The state also
provides for main market roads,
twelve in number, that run across the
state from east TO west and from
north to south and one diagonaliy
from northeast to southwest. These
roads connect all the principal cities
of the state. About 1000 miles OF
main market roads are included In the
Ohio system. Convicts may be en-
ployed on roads, thus bringing into
use a state charge that contributes
to state Improvement and thus avoids
competition with free labor in other
pursuits.
believe that Ohio. has entered upon
an era of road building that will non
stop until every mile of the inter-
country system has been improved
and not only will these trunk lines be
improved, but innumerable features
will be built to them. Every mile OF
improved road begets another mile,
and when the movement is started 1T

roads are their own press agents.

How Is Your Hen business?

Lots more farmers going into the
hen business lately than ever before.
All right, too, if you do it right. Are
your hens keeping you or are you
keeping them?
When the flow of eggs seems bit
slack, dip little deeper into the wheat
bin. That will make them lay if any
thing will.
If for any reason you have to shut
your hens up for few days, give
them plenty of food that is as nearly
as possible like what they would get
out on the farm. If you do this they
will not disappoint you when it is time
to gather the eggs.
Beats all how little it takes to make
some men satisfied. They will coax
a miserable old tike of a hen along
year after year knowing, if they know
anything about it, that it costs twice

The Cook SAYS.

If your market basket or clothes
basket of willow shows a few loose
ends, put it to soak for twenty min
utes or half an hour in lukewarm wa
ter
A good way to do is to put the
basket into the bathtub, resting it on
the part that is to be repaired, then
turn in enough water to soak this
part. The important thing is to get
the willow ends soft and pliable.
When this is accomplished the
strips can be readily bent back into
place, and if you push them in firmly,
they will stay in place when dry. New
er try to bend the willow strips while
they are dry, as they will be sure to
snap off.
A putty knife, with its short handle
and broad blade, is an indispensable
tool in the kitchen. 1t can be used for
turning hash, fritters and fish. Its
broad end is also most useful in scrap
ing pots and pans.
