To Change obsolete Law.
The repeal Of an old law that has been
on the statutes apparently since the time
the state offices were administered in

desires TO have introduced in the house.

printing. will be greatly reduced II Au-
ditor Smith has his way.
A bill that the latter is sponsoring and
which will probably become a part of the
legislative grist from the house end within
day or two, proposes that the number
Of the reports of the auditor required
printed be reduced from 1000 90 600 and
that the reports Of all other state officers
be reduced to 500. The auditor is given
an extra 100 copies on the strength of in
formation furnished by the state librarian
to the effect that that report is the most
in demand.
The reform is part Of the program along

Manager Hughey Jennings of the
Detroit Tigers makes it rule to give
a tryout to everyone claiming to be q
ball player who comes seeking a place
with him. One day at morning prac-
tice, as Jennings tells the story. a
chap wandered in and asked for a
chance.
You're an experienced player?"
questioned Jennings.
"Oh, yes" replied the candidate.
"Can you hit and field pretty good?"
"Oh. yes. indeed"
What do you usually play?"
I'm a right fielder"
"Well. 60 out in right" instructed
Jennings. "and Wen see what you can
do"
Jennings instructed one Of the pitch
ers to hit few flies to the new man
in right and turned to other affairs.
He was back In a few moments and.
greatly to his surprise, found the can
didate still beside the plate.
what are you doing here?" he
asked. Il thought sent you out in

ings finally won out as being not only
the best, but the only plan whereby
the poultry house could be properly
ventilated in winter.
The scientific principles of this lit.
tie poultry house are recognized as be-
ing the nearest approach to perfec-
ton of anything In the shape OF q
poultry house.
The roof is low ct the back. some
of theEe poultry houses being not
more than three feet high at the north
side and about seven feet In front.
Old-fashioned poultry houses were
built for the convenience Of the atten-
dant. Modern poultrymen have an
idea that a poultry house should be
built to accommodate the fowls and es
they are not especially high headed.
a low ceiling win keep them warm
and work out better in practice than
when the building is constructed with
more headroom. Poultry do not need
a great amount of cubic air space but
they do need frequent change of air.
II was In New York state that the
lime floor was tried out, and is still
in use In Just such poultry houses as
this. The whole ground space is COW
cred with Stacked lime instead of con-
crete, because lime is softer and wears
tie claws less. at the same time sani-
tary conditions are just as good. In
q well-regulated poultry house straw
Is spread all over the floor to depth

Part of teachers report to the par

An especially remarkable case has
been observed in Marius, the son Of s.
e. Christensen, who has not attend
ed school for three months. To lay
men he seems to be as sound as oak.
He works, rides the bicycle, ETC., with
out being troubled by his disease in

correctly, the boy must be treated now
in order not to contract tuberculosis
80 years hence. Who would imagine
that there could be such great proph-
ct in SilkyeborgY' The doctor claimed
that these remarks were defamatory,
and sued the teacher. But the court
exonerated the teacher. In literal
sense the report was libelous. But
being an official report to superiors ex-
clusively, with regard to delinquent
pupil, 1t did not exceed the limits OF
legitimate utterances, and therefore
was not punishable according to law.
Anders Magnus Svendsen of Tyl-
strup is ninety-three years old. Some
ten or twelve years ago his eyesight
began to fail, and for five years he
could not see enough to tell the diff
ference between day and night. He
could be seen tottering around the
house, which he never dared to leave.
About four months ago his eyesight
began to return without the use of
any remedy whatever, and he has i'm
proved so fast that he can walk alone
in the woods and fields and do some
light work. He can see the pictures
in the newspapers, but cannot dis
tinguish the letters. He explains
that he can see about as well in day
light as an ordinary person can see
in bright moonlight.
Reports from the statistical bureau
indicate that the crops will be rather
below the average this year. Winter
grain and legumes look fairly well,
but the spring grain and buckwheat
are poorer. The root crops are doing
pretty well, but the indications are
not above the average. The hay crop
is light everywhere. but the quality OF
the hay is good.
A violent rainstorm swept the whole
country July 6. Rev. Knudsen of
Korby and his son were both killed

rain came Just in time to save the
crops from being dried UP.
The population of Denmark July
was 2,890,000. The increase for the
year was $1,000. This large increase
was due to the reduction Of emigra-
ton on account Of the war.

The simplest form of a practical
poultry house is built on the shed
roof plan. II faces the south and has
windows rather high up in front to ad-
NIT sunshine clear back to the roosts.
The design shown in the perspec-
tive and floor plan was worked out by
the president of the Poultry associa-
ton of New York state some twelve
or fifteen years ago. He wanted a
poultry house sixteen feet from front
to back. He was particular to have
the ends and back of the building
made alright by the use of building
paper or felt roofing and matched CELL
ing inside of good quality put on with
thick paint in the groove. He did not
care much about the outside of the
building, so long as the material was
good and well put together, but the
inside occupied his attention until he
got a practical house that gave uni
versal satisfaction.
Along with the shed roof design and
scratching shed practice came the So
called curtain front. The size of the
curtain front area must be regulated
to suit the climate. Usually the front
sash are hung from the top of the

of several inches; sometimes a foot
deep If straw is plentiful. II is raked

fresh straw is supplied. Every morn

ton.
lime floor will discourage rats
and mice as we'll as concrete. II Is
easily kept clean and II Is not much
harder than a wooden floor. There Is
very little OF no grit in pure lime.
II the hens want more egg-shell ma
terial than they can get out of the
ground oyster shell hopper feeder,
they can dig up part of the floor and
eat 1t. They often prefer to do so,
1t makes a change from the oyster
shell, which is the common lime sup
ply used in the eastern states.
Every good poultry house has con-
crete foundation wall extending all
the way around. Concrete is the only
satisfactory UNDERMINING for a poul-
try house for the reasons that II is
permanent and 1t is a positive prctec-
ton against rodents and vermin. Elk

should be whitewashed to fill all the
little cracks and crevices. The whole
interior of the house needs whitewash-
ing at least twice a year; once a
month is a good rule. There are SO
many different kinds of poultry in
sects that 1t is absolutely necessary
to treat the inside of the house with
either lime or crude oil to hold them
in check.
The plan of this poultry house pro-
vides two compartments about fifteen
feet square each. An expert poultry
man or woman will keep forty hens
in each compartment through the win
ter and keep them In good laying con-
Cition. 1t is considered the most prac-
tical and satisfactory way of housing
poultry in the winter time in New
York state climate.
1t is customary to provide from
three to five square feet of floor area
per fowl. There are about 225 square
feet of floor surface In each room,
which divided by Ave gives rated
capacity of 45 fowls in each compart-
ment. 1t is the ambition Of many poul-
try raisers to start in the fall nth
about one hundred one-year-old hens
and pullets. The number very often
is reduced to about eighty or ninety
before Christmas. so that the plan
works out about right for poultry
business of this size.
