MUDDY BARNARD IS
MOST announcement
Keep Out All Water Possible and
Provide Means for Removing
All That Enters.
(By e. II. JONES. Secretary OF Wiscon-
sin Drainage As%sociation.)

(By e. II. JONES, Secretary Of Wiscon-
sin Drainage Association.)
Both convenience and economy de.
mand a dry barnyard. The flooded.
muddy barnyard drives the chore boy
off the farm, carries the n pile
down the creek and makes the old COW
wallow in the mire to reach the water
tank or the barn door. A dry barn
yard is within reach Of all.
Assume that fate has been most un-
kind to you--that you have inherited
a barnyard that is flooded by the high.
err land, that it Is 30 fiat that even its
own rainwater cannot escape. and that
1t has no convenient outlet for a line
Of tile to carry the water piped from
the eavestroughs.
With a road scraper or grader you
can throw up a dixie around all but
the lower side of the yard. Seed grass
in the dixie and in the shallow ditch
on the outside Of it. The dixie and
ditch will carry the flood water around
the yard.
lNcAlS Ludho u oioPC AL SAo yoAu'
Raise the floor Of the barn until 1t Is
two feet higher than the surface of
the ground 100 feet away. You may
have to raise the entire barn, but do
It. Haul earth from the nearest sandy
knoll to fill outside Of the barn to with.
in half a foot Of the new level Of the
floor. Haul enough to slope the sur.
face gradually for fifty feet or more
away from the barn. Then pipe the
cave water to the ditch outside Of the
dixie.
In short, keep out all the water you
can and provide n means for remov.
ing what enters in spite Of you. I'm
like cultivated fields, barnyards are
tramped so hard that drain tile for
undertakings are zoo slow. Surface
drains act more quickly.

Stock leather washers. although
made from o%il-treated material, il
stored without protection soon become
dry and hard. The deterioration is
rapid and the usefulness of the wash
ers is greatly lessened.
Those who carry a stock Of cup
washers, fiat washers or any form
made from leather will find it to their
advantage and profit to preserve them
from the action of the air. One meth
cd is to pack these leather parts in
a tin or galvanized iron box and cover
them with melted tallow. 1t has been
found that since these parts r made
from an animal substance. the cover

(Trom Weekly Letter, United States De
partment of Agriculture.)
To obtain good results from a flock
of poultry during the winter all
houses and coops should be put IN
good condition, only healthy fowls
placed in the buildings, and good care
given to the poultry. The houses
should be thoroughly cleaned, disin.
fected and made tight for winter. II
the house has a dirt floor, 1t is well
to remove three or four inches from
the top and substitute fresh gravel or
sand. II the floor Is cement or wood,
remove all litter and dirt and put IN
four or five inches Of fresh straw or
litter. Be sure that the house Is
tight on three sides and that there Is
no chance for a draft to strike the
hens. If hens roost or are placed in
a draft during the fall and winter,
colds are sure to develop, which may
result in roup and other troubles.
The south side, or front, of the poul-
try house may be left comparatively
open, but should be under control, so
that the openings may be closed
gradually as the weather becomes
cold. Have muslin curtains in the
front of the house, or leave a window
partly open even on the coolest nights
to allow some ventilation in the house.
Fowls will stand considerable cold air
provided it is dry, and ventilation will
keep the air thoroughly dry in the
house.
The pullets should be brought in
off the range and put in winter quar-
tiers, but before they are mixed with
the older fowls be sure that the hens
are banded or that the web of the
foot is punched in some way so as to
distinguish between the pullets and
the hens. In this way the older stock
may be culled out whenever it ap-
pears desirable, and the young hens
kept for further laying. Gull the
chickens which are brought into the
laying house carefully, and fatten and
market all chickens which are small,
poorly developed or in poor condition,
These small, poorly-developed chick
ems are apt to catch cold if put in with
the other poultry, and develop dis
eases which quickly spread through
tho flock. Market all surplus cocker
els or older male birds which are not
desired for breeding or not wanted
for a later market.
Feed the grain in a deep litter or
the floor and make the hens exercise
for all of their grain. The mash may
be fed either wet or dry, and should
be so regulated that the fowls viii
get about equal parts of mash and o.
the scratch grains. 1t is necessar!
to give the fowls plenty to eat to ge'

weather feed about one-third Of the
scratch grains in the morning and
two-thirds at night. In this way the
hens are forced to exercise more than
IL they receive all the grain they de-
sire at the morning feed. Scratch
grains, mash or ground grains, animal
protein, green feed, grit and shell
should be supplied in the winter. A
good scratch mixture may be made
Of equal parts, by weight, Of cracked
corn, wheat and oats; and a mash
may be made of two parts corn meal
and one part each Of wheat bran,
wheat middlings and beef scrap.
Green feed, such as cabbages, mangel
wurzel, beets, cut alfalfa or sprouted
oats, should be supplied to replace
the green feed which the fowls have
been securing in the fields; and beef
scrap, skim milk, cut green bone or
similar feed Is needed to replace the
bugs which the fowls have been get
ting on the range. Beef scrap or feed
of this nature is very essential in Sc
surfing a good supply Of eggs during
the winter months.
Clean the dropping boards at least
once a week, and spray the roosts
with kerosene or ONE commercial
preparation for killing mites once a
month during the winter. Have a
good supply Of sand OF dry dirt on
hand to use or the dropping boards
during the winter.
If any of the birds develop colds.
put as much potassium permanganate
as will remain on the surface of a
dime into a gallon Of water and keep
this mixture in their drinking water
for several days. or until the symp.
tons of the colds have disappeared.
Remove any sick birds from the flock
as soon as they are noted. and treat
them in coops by themselves, or kill
and bury them if they are not worth
treating.
Examine the pullets and hens fol

Of mercurial or blue ointment, abou,
the size of a pea, one inch below the
vent of the bird. rubbing the mixture

this ointment two or three times q
year will keep the fowls free from
lice. Where insect powder is used
1t should be applied three or foul
times a year, or oftener if the fowls
become infested. Provide a small bo,
