WINDOW is BEST VENTILATOR.

Should a poultry house be ventilat-
ed with a spout running from the floor
up through the roof, or with just an
opening in the roof?-F. S. B., Mil
waukee county.
In regard to poultry house ventila-
ton, in some localities tube running
from near the floor up through the
roof. and an air intake that comes
from near the ground and delivers the
air up near the roof works all right,
but where there are a good many
buildings or the land. is rolling so
that you have many days when the
wind is blowing over higher objects,
you will find that the ventilator tube
will not work right, but will work
backwards.
My experience has been that win
dow is usually the best ventilator in a
poultry house, or else a wooden shut
ter so arranged that rain can never
come through but fresh air always
can come through. This should be
placed up high enough so that the
wind won't blow on the hens, and
then a small opening. left near the
floor where the bad air that is heavy
can get out. For this last opening we
simply leave the exit hole open, ex-
cept in bad weather.

Than One Ice Age.
Every one with intelligent interest in
the history of the world on which he
lives has heard of 1.-The glacial epoch"
or the ice age The inhabitants of the
northern portion Of the United States
have no doubt a general understanding
that the gravel hills and ridges and the

many thousands Of years ago.
1t is, however, not strictly correct to
speak of the ''ice age" or the glacial
epoch" for there have been many Of
them. 1t is now known that even this
latest or pleistOcene glacial epoch has
several important divisions, and in the
Rocky mountain region it appears that
important changes i'll the form and
height of the mountains, due to Il wear

SELECT BLOCKY TYPE FOR
BROILERS.

l have been thinking that cross
breeding between Plymouth Rock hens
and White Leghorn cockerels would
make good broiler stock Am l right?
F. S. B., Milwaukee county.
In regard to breeding for broilers
think you will find that rather blocky
type of quick growing Plymouth
Rocks, especially White Plymouth
Rocks or White Wyandottes makes
an especially fine broiler.
The Leghorn cross also makes a
good broiler, but has more of ten
dency to comb up. In fact, some of
the Leghorn crosses that we have
raised have carried almost as much
comb as broilers as did pure bred Leg
horns. The principal disadvantage in
crossing is that you cannot save your
best pullets to advantage. 1t has
seemed to us that we usually got bet
ter fertility when we crossed. There
is quite a bit Of difference in the re-
suits secured from the different
strains of the variety.
l might suggest that in case you
decide to cross that you try only a
few the first year and compare them
with the standard bred Rocks or Wy
andottes bred from male bird that is
vigorous and we'll meated on the
breast and thighs.

ufacturers. Many Wisconsin farmers
are increasing their incomes by turn
ing skim milk, the by-product of the
dairy, into pigs and calves.
In pig feeding, skim milk can be
used instead of oil meal or tankage to
supplement corn, and add nitrogen to
the ration. One hundred pounds of
skim milk are sometimes considered
equal in value for pig feeding to one
half bushel of corn.
Skim-milk calves, when care is used
in feeding them, are as good as whole
milk calves, and of course much more

"The 1904 dollar" said a coin ex-

1904 dollar was made some time be-

'"The Queen Anne farthing is another

used coins bring as high rs SO, but
they are often offered to dealers at ten

worth as much as 10 cents more than
