They Say Internal Dosing Harms Delicate
Little Stomachs -"Outside"
Applications Better.

Careful mothers everywhere realize
that internal medicines are injurious
to the delicate stomachs OF the little
folks. Still Group and cold troubles
must have some form Of treatment.
The answer to this problem is the
Southern external treatment Vap-O-
Rub. This was introduced in st.
10, Mo-, for the first time last winter,
and a number Of ladies' were presented
with complimentary jars by their
druggists on condition that they give
Vap-O-Rub a thorough test. Here are
the reports from several Of these la.
dies
Mrs. Sam House. 1906 Prospect Ave-,
writes-"My little daughter had Diph.
iberia last fall, and now every little
cold she takes settles in her throat.
We have thought twice she was going
to have Diphtheria again. but during
n OF her bad spells my druggist sent
me a Jar Of Vap.O-Rub. used It for
four nights on her throat with such
good results that now ! don't like to

Floor Plan Of Milk House.

feet Of sand and four of w%ell-graded
gravel, says Iowa Homestead. The
walls are made of the common con-
crete blocks with the i7side walls
coated with a hard wall plaster. The
cooling tank for the milk cans Is built
part way into the floor, as Is shown
I'm the cross-sectional drawing. There
are floor drains and also a drain for
the tank. There is a work table at
the outer end of the room and a a
rack by the front window. 1t Is a
house that is always easy to keep
clean and sanitary and up to date.
There are five good-sized windows in
the walls that admit plenty of sun
light. 1t is a house that is easy to
build and not past the average farm
er's ability. The frame roof is made
Of two by fours covered with shiplap
sheathing and cedar shingles. The
drawing shows how to build 1t in the
proper fashion.

FORAGE IS QUITE ESSENTIAL
Chickens viii Not Produce Economl
caiIy Without Green Feed-Sow
Essex Rape or Oats.

Green pasture is just as essential to
the chickens life process as 1t Is to
the dairy or beef animal. or course,
chickens can live without It, but they
will not produce economically without
some green stuff.
Now that all the wild vegetation Is
killed or tough, A. p. Spencer, dis.
trict agent for the University OF Flor
ida extension division, suggests that
dwarf essex rape or oats be sown for
them. These two crops will make ex.
cellent forage for the chicks and will
supply pasture until spring crops can
be planted. Plant about half an acre
for every 100 chickens. The rape
should be sown at the rate of eight
pounds to the acre. Chicks can be
turned OF 1t as soon as it is three
inches high.

VENTILATION FOR HENHOUSE
Fresh Air Is Best Secured by Lower
Ing a Window, or Taking Out
Sash and Inserting Muslin.

Where the poultry house is sup
piled with windows, ventilation Is
best secured by slipping down n
OF the windows at the top or taking
out a lower sash and inserting q
frame on which muslin Of a good
grade has been well tackled.
Where there is an open-front
scratching shed the roost.ng room
back is best II made as small as pos
sible to ACCOMMODATE the fowls, and
this should be inclosed against too
much cold or air.
Curtains hung constantly about
chickens IT night in the winter usu-
ally bring on influenza as a result.
Small tlocks kept together produce
better than large ones. Ten or a
dozen fowls will require a house that
at the least will require so square
feet Of floor space. which would mean
an 8 by 10 house. Twenty-Five fowls
can easily live In a house 10 by 1t
feet.
II runs are attached to q house 100
square feet OF space Is usually counted
for each fowl; that means ten feet Of
space each way for one fowl. This
i~nsures healthier. harder birds, and
there will be no crowding.
Poles laid above the roosting place.
and straw piled on these. saves cold
from overhead at night. The straw
covering should not extend far beyond
the roosts, as a free space outside
above insures more perfect ventila-
ton.
