SHIPS COME HIGH

England is in Great De-
mand at Present.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-The year 1916
will be remembered in shipping cir
cles as a>year during which sales OF
steamers reached record levels. The
strong tone which prevailed in ship
ping sales markets during the latter
part Of the preceding year gained still
further strength In 1915.
In January, six OF the German
steamers captured by British and
condemned by prize court. were Of
fered for sale on the Baltic mercan-
tile and shipping exchange and no
less than 142,745 pounds was real
ized--a figure which surpassed even
the most sanguine expectations OF the
auctioneers. These sales only served
to test the strength of the market
and except for brief period, during
which the budget was under discus
sion in the House OF Commons, and
fears were entertained as to excessive
taxation upon shipping there was nc
indication Of any weakening.
The withdrawal Of the Austrian
and German steamers from trade, the
losses sustained by the British mer'
camille marine from submarine at
tacks and the requisitioning of some
thing like twenty-five per cent OF the
British mercantile tonnage by the
government, has had the effect oil
placing a high value upon all boats
and owners of craft which they have
regarded as useless, have found them
selves possessed of highly priced as
sets. More than one shipping com
pany, which was on the verge OF
bankruptcy has been placed in a -four
ishing condition. One company, that
for several years had been unable to
pay a dividend, last year disbursed
twenty per cent to the shareholders
Another company, possessing half a
dozen steamers which had been laid
up for two years, found ready pur'
chasers for the old boats at prices

Tramp Glasses Affected.
Vessels OF the tramp and coastine
classes have been more particularly
affected by the rapid rise in values

and while there has been a marked
appreciation of the values, the in
crease has not been so great as ir
the cases OF steamers built only fol
cargo. In some cases as much a:
100 and 1875 per cent upon the &C
tual building cost of the vessel has
been paid for tramp steamers.
British shipping men are now ser
iously considering the situation which
has been created by the present lack
of tonnage. The seriousness of the
position of British owners is accen'

Plan for King Road Drag.

comments that answer a part of this Oft-repeated question as follows: The earth road cannot. by any system of maintenance, be kept up throughout the entire year to the usual standard of the other types. The use of the road in q wet and SOftened condition is what causes the trouble. Under the conditions where the earth road is a suitable type, its total cost for con- struCtiOn and maintenance is less than that of any other type. In dry weather and when it is not too dusty. the prop crly constructed and maintained earth road Is by fur more pleasant and more satisfactory to travel upon than any other road. With neglected main tenance, however, no other type of road can go 10 pieces and become i'm paSsable so quickly as an earth road. Nor, on the other hand, can any other type be brought to q satisfactory con- ditlOn for travel so quickly and so cheaply after having been impossible From these peculiar features. it will be noted that practically the entire problem with earth roads is their proper drainage and systematic main- tenance. The opportunity for better ing our road conditions by properly improving the earth roads is almost beyond our imagination"

HOW TO MAKE A RATPROOF CHICKEN COOP
Ratproof Coop for Chicks.

The accompanying illustration shows one of the best coOps for either incubator chicks or hen with chicks that We have ever used, says a writer in Farm Progress. The coop Is com posed of brood chamber and run, being in total length feet 6 inches and 3 feet wide. The brood chamber is ? feet by 3 feet. inside measurement, by % inches high in the rear and 24 inches high in front.
 The run is 10 inches high, being con- structed of planed boards 10 inches wide, which extend in one piece the full length of the coop. Pine lumber is used throughout.
 For handling the chicks and clean ing out the brood chamber this com partment is provided in front with a hinged door. From a center board running across the middle Of the run at the top two cover doors for the run are hinged. These doors are simply light, wooden frames covered with small-meshed poultry netting to let in sun and air and to keep out poultry enemies, They are easily raised and

 A colonnade and cased opening Is built between the living room and the dining room. The latter is a pleasant square room fitted with a buffet set into a nook in the center wall of the building. 4 swinging door leads to the kitchen, which is a special feature of this house. The outside wall of the kitchen has a bench built along its entire length with the sink placed di- rectly below the two windows Two cases are set into the corners at either end of this bench. Across the room is the cupboard in one corner and the stove in the other. This kitchen is so well arranged that no pantry is neceS- sary. The refrigerator is placed in the rear entry where 1t is easily iced. being only a step from the rear door. A storage room is provided which is entered from the Fear entry. Stairs Into the basement also lead from this room.
 The other side of the house contains two bedrooms with bath between them. Each bedroom has q large closet and is lighted with two win dOws. In the passage between the bed rooms is a linen closet. The bath room is entered from this passage. The bath is fitted out in accordance with modern practice.
 A large storage space is furnished in the attic which Is lighted through narrow paneled windows. The base ment may also be used to advantage in furnishing a place for the various articles which accumulate in every house. The usual handy arrangement of basement rooms is furnished. sup plying accommodations for the laun- dry, furnace. coal storage and vege- table storage. By the use of proper precautions in the construction of the walls and floor. the basement may be made dry. increasing its usefulness ma terially.
 A home of this type is an invest ment in pleasure and comfort which will Day dividends during the life of its owner and still stand a welcome in heritance to the younger generation.

 The roof of the brood chamber and the floor of the same are of matched pine flooring. very heavily painted with the best white lead and oil paint. The underside of the floor and all wooden parts resting on the ground are heavily painted for preservation. The entire coop Is heavily painted inside and out side to seal small cracks against dis ease and insects.
 The floor is on two-inch crOsspieces two inches above the ground to insure dryness of brOOder floor. Heavy wood- en strips are nailed vertically in all corners for added strength.

TREATMENT FOR BROODY HEN
Practical and Humane Way Is 10 Iso. late Her in Open. Airy Coop
 in Sight of Others.

The sensible way 10 treat a broody hen is to treat her as laying hen. She has temporarily stopped laying and with proper treatment can soon be brought to laying again. The prac. tical and humane way is to cOufine her in an open. airy coop in sight of the outside hens, and provide roOSt for her at night. While confined. give the same, or better. care in the way of food, drink and comfort as the hens outside receive.

CAUSE OF SOFI-SHElL EGGS
Lack of Lime May Be Aided by Feed ing Oyster Shells-Another Help
 Is Green Stuff.

The laying of soft-shelled eggs may be caused by the lack of shelI-forminy material in the food they get: for ex- ample, the lack of lime. This can be aided in q measure by the feeding of oyster shells, that is, the ground prepared shells. These contain so much lime that they help out in a feeding of a little slaked lime in the soft feed. say a tablespoonful of lime 10 15 to 20 hens. This lime will aid in the production of eggs very mate rially if fed regularly for some weeks. Another cause of sOft-Shelled eggs be- ing produced by a good healthy flock is the lack of green Stuff. This fur nishes the shell-formiug material in the best possible form and should not be neglected. This is one reason why hens so often lay them in the win ter time.
 Another fruitful source of the trOu- ble Is the feeding stimulants and con ailments of various kinds. Poultry keepers so often get the habit of feed ing stimulating foods in order 10 get their hens to laying in cold weather. forgetting that such a course, while they may obtain the desired results. yet Is at the sacrifice of the health of their hens. Such course may be all right where one has bunch of layers that he does not care for further than to get all the eggs from them that he possibly can. If he does not expect 10 keep such hens but the one laying

Experience has convinced many that it pays in the ordinary farm flock to keep hens for three years before turn ing them of.
 The greatest egg yield can be ex- pectcd during the bullet year. and many poultrymen advocate keeping them only for that length of time. They pay about as good returns for the work and expense given them dur ing the succeeding two years in the average farm flock.
 One of the big OutlayS of both time and capital in the poultry business is the raising of chicks. 1T the hens drop of laying in September or October and get busy once more early in the year, they can he carried through the period of rest much cheaper than pull lets can be raised. So. since poultry is only a very profitable side line with us, many believe the kecpin: of hens reduces the work of chicken raising without materially reducing the in- come, says writer in an exchange.

The con crete floor of the porch is drained through two unique little arched open inGS on either side of the steps.

 The arrangement of rooms is very convenient and q great many special devices are employed to make the home as coZy and inviting as possible. A very useful little reception hall is entered from the front porch. This hall has seat built into the end to the left of the door. At one end of this seat a closet is provided for wraps.

DETERMINE SIZE OF 4 LOAD
Easy to Find Out How Grade Affects Pull-one Argument Against
 Goins Around Hill.

The grade in a road determines the size of load that can be pulled over it. A good way to learn the effect of grade is to ride a bicycle on the level and up different grades. It will very quickly be found out how grades affect the pull. One argument against going around hill is that it makes the dis tance greater. This is not always the case. The bail of pail is no longer when lying down than when standing up. One bad grade in a road may easily double the cost of hauling. The work of grading down a hill usually costs more than to buy the land re- quired to go around it.
