A communication was read from
Mr.. J. C. Caldwell, superintendent of
the electric light plant, wherein he
stated that for lack of certain ap-
pliances the plant was now badly
overloaded and could not possibly
take on any more lighting on the
street department circuit. The cost,
he said, of the new appliance to rem
edy the shortage would be about 500
but the city could get adequate sec
ond-hand substitutes for from 5000
to $500. Pending the rebuilding of
the plant, the matter was referred to
the light and water committee to see
what the appliance could be had for
and report to the council.

POULTRY

VARIOUS TYPES OF
POULTRY HOUSES.
Prepared by United States department OF
Agricultural

Prepared by United States department of
agriculture
Fresh air, dryness, sunlight and
space enough 10 keep the birds COM
Portable are the most important points
TO be kept In mind in building poultry
house, according to farmers bulletin
No. 574 of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
No particular style of house is pecul-
iarly adapted to any section Of this
country, the poultry experts say. A
house which gives satisfaction in Maine
will also give good results in Texas or
California, but 1t Is preferable to build
more open and consequently less eX-
pensive houses In the south than In the
north. The best site for the poultry
house depends principally on the local
conditions. The location should have
good water and air drainage, SO that
the floor and yards will be dry, while
the house should not occupy a low
pocket or hollow in which cold air set
ties, and 1t should be situated for con-
venience in management and adapted
to the available land. Wherever posi-
BILE southern or southeastern expo
sure should be selected, although this
is not essential If there is any good
reason for facing the house in differ
ent direction.
Long, stationary houses, or the in
tensive system, save steps, but it is
easier, the experts say, TO keep the
birds healthy and to reproduce the
stock under the colony system where
the birds are allowed free range. A
well drained soil, preferably a light
loan which will grow good grass. is
well adapted for this purpose.
The colony house system necessitates
placing the houses, holding about 100
hens, from 200 to go feet apart, so
that the stock will not kill the grass.
The colony system may be adapted to
severe winter conditions by drawing
the colony houses together in a con-
venient place at the beginning OF win
ter, thus reducing the labor during
these months.

fered financial reverSeS during the past
three years. writes a correspondent of
the Country Gentleman.
The production of three and four
year old steers is hazardous in the
present state of the markets, and the
vealing Of beef bred calves is regarded
as wasteful for all concerned. The al
tentative is the production OF yearlings
that pass for beef with the butcher and
the public.
Well bred calves can be made into
baby beef at a substantial profit by the
farmer who keeps a few cows and
must dispose Of their increase as a side
line. With favorable local conditions
the making of baby beef on a larger
scale has become attractive to the cat
tie feeder. Indeed, it is at present his
only recourse.
The advantages of growing baby
beef are that younger animals make
more gains for the same amount of feed
consumed and capital can be turned Of
tener. Open heifers command as good
q price as steers. which is not true
with cows that have passed the two
year mark. Yearling heifers finish out
even more rapidly than yearling steers.
The market for baby beef is the most
stable and attractive of all cattle mar
kets in any part of the country at the
present time.
The cornerstone Of profit in growing
baby beef is to handle pure beef breeds
or high grades Of beef type-this sup
plemented by liberal feeding. The calf
must get all its mothers milk from
birth or skimmilk and linseed meal
jelly as q substitute for at least three
months. The changes should be so
gradual that the calf will never know
when ii Is weaned. When ii will eat
grain and hay these should be given
with generous hand in addition to
the milk. The youngster must be kept
growing and never allowed TO lose its
calf fat. A stunted animal never
makes as satisfactory gains as would
otherwise be possible. and the chances
for making a profit are very greatly
reduced when the calf loses flesh.
Under these conditions of breeding
and feeding twelve-mouths-old calves
have been made to weigh 1000 pounds:
but, as rule, they are finished to sell
when around eighteen months of age.

Tho MIIkman's Standard.

Those who estimate their own worth
by selfmade measures often are cha
grined to find how others, not so ap-
preciative, measure them. An instance
occurred the other day in large Of
fee downtown. In this Office many
men are away on their vacations and
those left behind either had their
turns at country or seashore resorts
or are contemplating the same.
Now 1t happens that milkman
daily brings his wares to those in the
office who have a fondness for the
tactical fluid. His trade with the men
is of surprising volume-or rather,
measure. But since so many are on
vacations, it has fallen off bit of
late.
HAS vacation time affected your
business up here?" asked one busy
man the other morning.
well, you'd be surprised, sir; but
almost five gallons Of my customers
are away this week." innocently re-
piled the milkman.

The Farm Dwelling.

Water supply and sewage disposal
are most important factors in the COM
fort Of the farm dwelling Where con-
ditions permit it is desirable to have
the farmhouse stand in an open loca-
ton facing the southwest, so that sun
light may enter all of the rooms during
the day. An abundance of ventilation
Is necessity, and in most sections OF
the country the addition of sleeping
porches will be found well worth while.
The bedrooms should be large enough
to allow each person at least 500 cubic
feet Of space, and preferably 1000. In
the construction Of barns, it may be
added, not less than GOO cubic feet
should be allowed for each 1000 pound
animal.

Pasture Makes cheap Pork.

Many now realize the fact that the
growing of pasture grasses and forage
crops that make healthy, vigorous hogs
of good quality is the basic factor in
successful pork production. They are
raising hogs at big profit. or course
those who are successful realize the
fact that certain amount Of grain
feed is needed to grow hogs with a
greater profit, but they use this grain
only as o supplement to the feeds har-
vested by the hogs In the pastures and
fields.-Kansas Farmer.

FLOOR MATERIALS.

Wooden floors are usually made of
matched flooring and are generally
doubled in cold climates to make them
tight and warm, in which case the
lower layer of boards is usually laid
diagonally to strengthen the floor.
Floors of one thickness give good sat
isfaction in the south. Three-quarter
inch mesh wire may be used under
wooden or dirt floors to keep out rats.
In making concrete or cement floors
and walls select portland cement of
known reputation, which should be
kept in a dry place; use clear, coarse,
sharp sand or gravel which does not
contain over per cent Of clay or silt
and crushed stone or gravel onefourth
to two inches in diameter. The gravel
should be screened through a one
fourth inch mesh wire screen and the
coarse particles used as stone, while
the material which passes through the
screen is sifted through a forty mesh
wire screen In order to separate the
sand, and any material which goes
through the forty mesh wire is thrown
away. A mixing board with a smooth
surface and box for measuring the
sand and gravel are necessary. Spread
the sand on the board and add the ce
ment. Mix these thoroughly together
Add three-fourths Of the required
amount of water and then the gravel
