GOOD VENTILATION
IN POULTRY HOUSE
Simplest and Cheapest Way to
Furnish Fresh Air to Fowls
Is to Have Muslin Front.
CBy WALTER B. LEUTZ.)


Fresh air keeps the house pure and
dry. Nothing will cause disease more
readily than damp house or one
which has foul odor.
There are several ways to supply
ventilation, but the simplest and least
expensive is to have an open or mus
lin covered front. These open fronts
on the houses should be protected IN
some way to prevent the rains and
SHOWS from being blown into the in.
terror. 1t is a good plan to attach
an awning made of wood or some
other light material, arranged in such
manner that it can be lowered or
raised.
Muslin will keep out the cold and
rain to certain extent, but when ii
gets wet the cloth loses some Of its
merit as a ventilator, as damp muslin
will not permit a free passage Of air
By protecting the muslin with an
awning it will not be affected in that
way The muslin should be put on
a frame so that it can be removed on
pleasant day, allowing fresh air to
circulate through the house on such
days.

told six months ago that presently he
would be dwelling gayly a month and
a half in a ditch without even taking

Worried About Their Trenches.
They did not seem to realize that
they exemplified truly astonishing
courage and hardihood. The only thing
that really worried them was their
trenches, which would be occupied
these four days by young recruits,
who might, because of their mex
perience, let the rain get in.
The lieutenant told me smilingly
that he had a luxurious room back
there, the fitting of which cost him %
francs $50, and he was afraid that
during his absence the rain might
pierce the ceiling and even reach his
library. He reproached himself for
having left behind some books which,
on returning. he might find in bad
condition.
Meanwhile the entire company
sought to make the best of these four
precious days of repose, cleaning
themselves and their clothes, greasing
their rifles and eating and drinking. ]

DYING MESSAGE OF SOLDIER

ing Away In Foreign
Land.

London.-At Hull the other day the
archbishop of York read letter from
one Of his own chaplains at. the front,
giving vivid picture Of the pathos
of soldier dying in strange land
for cause he only dimly understood.
Kneeling beside a wounded soldier in
a little tent lighted by candle flicker

dressed thus: Am l dying, sir?"
yes, sonny, you are" "My God"
Then a pause. please break it gen.

and held it up. The soldier raised his
head, laid it down again and began to
smile-"the loveliest smile ever saw"

those from the two-eye pieces, half
or whole tubers. These more delicate
plants required greater care in the
first cultivation, but the difference
was not so apparent later on as the
plants gained in size and vigor, and
by the height of the growing season
the individual stalks from the one
eye pieces were as large and strong
as the stalks from the larger pieces.
AS the rate of seeding per acre was
increased, depending on the size of
seed pieces used, in like proportion
was the average number of plants or
stalks per hill increased. Increasing
the size of potato seed pieces, there
fore, is equivalent to increasing the
number of grains per hill in seeding
corn; and from extended observation
in the past as well as from expert
ments conducted, the results in either
case may reasonably be expected tt
prove similar. BY increasing the mum.

By T., II. BALLOU.)


In response to numerous inquiries
regarding the planting Of different
quantities of seed potatoes per acre,
series of important tests were made in
Ohio to determine what the difference
was, If any. The experiments were
conducted with the utmost care and
interest.
In the first year we're used 10, 15
Is and 40 bushels per acre. The seed
pieces were very carefully cut and
accurately weighed in each and every
rate of planting. In the 10 bushels
per acre rows one-eye seed pieces
were used in the Is bushels per acre,
two eyes; in the rs bushels per acre,
half tubers; and in the 40 bushels per
acre, whole tubers.
1t was interesting to note the differ
ence between the young plants of the
different sections, as they pushed up
through the soil in due time after
planting. The difference in vigor OF
plants, for the first week or two, was
decidedly in favor of the whole tubers.
The plants from the one-eye pieces
were at first much more slender than

LITTLE TASKS FOR
FARMER TO EXECUTE
Odd Jobs That He Can ProfitabIy
Perform During Idle Mo-
mentS This Winter.

AS far as possible the farmer should
adapt his products, both in variety and
quality, to the class of consumers who
are best able and most willing to pay.
It is the policy of the farmer to
supply what the city purchasers call
for, and he should know that as much
is paid for attractiveness as for quail
ity.
Did you open that account with the
farm last year? Do it now. Let no
day go by without it's record of all i'm
portant things that have been done on
the farm.
Hang up the forks. No other farm
tool is more dangerous in the winter
time than the forks standing about the
floor or lying with the tines sticking
out toward those who are at work.
Never say there is time enough for
that tomorrow" when there is time
enough today. Tomorrow will have
plenty Of it's own. And then who
knows what tomorrow will bring
forth?

you want to carry an armful of straw
you will have a good deal more straw
left when you get to the end of your

A frozen grindstone, standing in the
snow and rain and sleet, is not

excuse for them. Keep three sides of
the chicken house tight, and free from
drafts and hang curtain before the
open front when the mercury creeps
below zero.
You can get the manure out on the
fields better when the ground is frozen
than you can in March.
You will be surprised at the num-
Der of bad apples you find in the cellar
bins about this time. Look them over.
Rot spreads fast.
If your apples are in a warm cellar
you will not have many sound ones
In March. Keep cool the cellar part
where the apples are.
When you have a spot of bright win

Are you not ashamed when you look
out OF the window and see the rows
of frozen, sodden corn shocks in your
cornfield? Money gone never to be

In building your fee house make four
short doors in row straight down

FIRE 1000 BULLETS APIECE
Extraordinary Expenditure of Car
trldges Required to Kill One
Man In This War.

London.-One of the things frequent
ly noted by soldiers at the front in
writing to relatives and friends is the
extraordinary expenditure of bullets
required to kill man. A German re-
port says that many German soldiers
fired 1000 cartridges apiece during the
first month Of the war. An English
observer estimated that % German
shells are wasted for every man killed
by them. In 1870 it was calculated
that the Germans fired $50 bullets and
six shrapnel shells for every wounded
Frenchman. In the Russo-Japanese
war it is said 5000 bullets were fired
for every life lost.

BR00DlNESS OF HEN

Sitting Fever Grows in lntensit,
Each Day After 1t Has Be-

The quickest way to break UP
broodiness is to remove the hen from
her nest the very first evening she de.
serts her roost. The sitting fever
grows in intensity each day after II

require a week or more to cure, but
when taken in time a few days will
suffice.
Broody hens should be penned in q

of air can be admitted. Feed them

stantly before them. Be sure that nc
