BUILDING A POULTRY HOUSE
Extreme Open-Front Structure Fur
nishes Ideal Conditions-Roost-
ing Closet Desirable.

A house with a large area of glass
and no muslin has a high moisture
content and low temperature, accom-
panied with rapid changes. An ex-
IRENE open-front house furnishes ideal
conditions, providing the birds are pro-
tected from rain, snow and drafts.
A house, the front of which contains
some muslin and glass is a very eff
cient type. Hollow tile construction
makes a very desirable house, but 1t is
doubtful whether at the present prices
of tile and mason labor the resulting
increased cost warrants its use. A
roosting closet with double walls is
desirable in shed-roof laying houses.
The providing of ample means of
properly ventilating shed-roOf, paper
covered houses adds greatly in reduc-
ing temperature during spring and
summer. Tongued and grooved boards
for the outside wall when covered
with a layer of building paper are
reasonable in cost and supply in a
great measure the nonradiating quail
ties of double wall.

however, the soil is deficient in lime
the plant, though appearing fair in
the fall, may lack the vigor to go
through even a reasonably mild win
ter. Two mistakes are often made,
and these should be guarded against.
The young clover should not be pas
tured closely in the fall, nor should it
be allowed to seed. Last fall, owing
to the favorable summer young clover
was found blossoming and seeding in
many fields. This is bad because it
weakens the plants and increases the
number of clover-seed insects, the late
broods finding these flower heads a
fine place in which to lay eggs which
hatch into larvae, many of which may
live over the next winter.
Provided there is lime and phos-
phorus enough in the land, second
year clover should give little trouble
unless attacked by root borers or 9th
err insects. There are leafeating in
sects that do damage locally and some
fungi have been known to kill whole
fields or to reduce yields, but the in
sects working on the roots probably
give more trouble than other insects
or than diseases. When a field be-
comes infested with root-eating in
sects there is nothing to do but pillow
it up. The fact that insects and dis
eases of all kinds increase in clover
fields is one of the best reasons why
such a field should not be kept longer
than two years.
The principles of successful clover
growing may be summarized as fol-
lows:
Give the clover a chance to make a
healthy plant by adding lime, phos-
phorus and potash to soils that need
them. In some way add vegetable
matter to the soil and keep up the
supply by turning under clover often
enough.
Give the seed a fair chance by plac.
ing it in mellow soil and covering it
from one-half to one inch deep.
If sown with a nurse crop, give the
young plants chance by not seed
ing the grain crop too thickly, by top
dressing with manure if practicable,
and by cutting the stubble as high as
possible.

Red clover is commonly seeded with
small grain which is called the nurse
crop. This nurse crop serves two
functions, it keeps the weeds down and
it produces a money crop while the
clover is making its first years
growth. Whether it is wise to use
nurse crop depends on so many things
that it cannot be discussed within the
limits of a brief article; it has been
abundantly shown, Showever, that if
weeds are kept down by clipping, the
clover will make better growth when
sown alone than when with a nurse
crop. In dry seasons the nurse crop
of the clover by taking all the mois-
ture and then leaving the young plants
exposed to the heat of July or Au-
gust sun when in a weakened condi-
ton by reason of the lack of mois-
ture. If a nurse crop is used care
should be taken not to seed it too
thickly, since the thicker the grain
crop the more certain it is to smother
the clover or to take all the moisture
and leave the soil dry at harvest time.
Of the small grains rye shades the
ground the least and oats the most
and these crops represent both ex-
tremes of disturbances so far as red
clover is concerned The most fire.
quent causes of the death of young
clover are the drought and heat to
which the plants are subjected upon
the removal of the grain crop. The
amount of injury caused will, of
course, depend on the season.
Injury will also be worse on soils
deficient in humus since these run to-
gether and dry out more than soils
having plenty of organic matter. Top
dressing the fields with manure during
late winter is as good a preventive of
manure will not only prevent loss of
moisture but will furnish plant food
for the young clover, making stronger
plants, better able to withstand
drought. 1t is also advisable to leave
the grain stubble as long as possible
so as to afford shelter to the young
plants
If there is a good stand of clover on
a field in September and October
there is every reason to expect a good
stand in spring, barring, of course,
most unusual weather conditions. If,

not himself. He feels keenly the lack
of affection, the absence of true wife
ly interest. The home of wealth is
usually fair to look upon. The parlors
are luxurious, as are the library and
dining room. But there is not one
room in the house in which man can
feel content to sit The parlor is too
cold. The beautiful chairs are stiff
and uncomfortable. The library is
lonely if one is not in the mood for
reading. 1t is irksome for a man to
sit in his bedroom. The club holds
out, at one and all times, Turing arms
to man. He spends his evenings
there.
The young wife, relieved at his alb
sence, finds her pleasure in the gild-
ed ballroom, where it is quite the
fashion of young men to fiirt and pay
homage to beautiful matrons Nine
times out Of ten such marriages are
childless. Is it to be wondered that
young wives, flattered by attention,
drift into unfortunate romances? They
feel the lack of loves appreciation and
sunshine to brighten their dread ex-
istences.
How they envy the shop girl and
her beau hurrying along to the movies
of an evening. The woman of wealth
gazes out at them from her automobile
with hungry look in her eyes. What
are simple clothes, a slim purse and an
humble home compared to the rich,
full measure of love that crowns the
girls life?
Many wife would live over again,
if she could, the days of her poverty
long ago, when she cooked her hus-
bands meals and met him at the door
with a kiss. Then they were all the
world to each other. Great wealth oft
times drifts husbands and wives apart
So many divided interests fill up their
lives that love for each other is
crushed out or becomes only a name
1t is better by far to marry for love
and work together for prosperity.
