variety of laying hens. Roosts and
dropping boards are placed in each
corner at the back of the building and
made so they can be inclosed in ex-
IRENE cold weather by simply drop
ping a curtain in front of the roosts
Two tiers of nests are placed against
the wall between these roosts at the
back of the building. This roosting
method gives your flock a chance to
divide during their roosting hours
without crowding, thus avoiding dan
gers from colds, etc.
A window is placed toward the front
in each end of the house, which helps
to furnish light at the bottom of the
building where needed when fowls are
scratching for their food in the litter.
One door, placed as indicated, with
the open front two feet from the
ground, assures against any draft
when you enter the house. There is
no need of using muslin upon this
front except in stormy or exceedingly
cold weather. The open front also fur

best possible system of circulation and
ventilation when the front is open by
using the adjustable windows at the
top as an outlet for impure air. These
windows at the front near the top fur.

and roost boards dry. You will note
that they come in just the proper
place for the sun to shine into the
extreme corners at the back of the
building. My experience has taught
me that we must have light in the
house. The more we have up to a GER
tain point, the better.
A house of this size, built of drop
siding and tar paper with rubber roof

only is this house splendid for laying
hens, but it serves well for surplus
cockerels; or, if divided makes the
very best of breeding pens, or may be
put to many other uses.

Never plant old asparagus roots or
try to divide them. Plant the 'pips"
instead. Set plants about six inches

rows. Put well-rotted manure in the
burrows and mix with the soil. The

good coat OF manure early in the

Last year conditions were not quite
as good as this. for there was a town

somewhat by people going there and
procuring liquor and coming back to

had no trouble from this source.

favor OF the dry posicy that became
weary and quit after twenty-five Of
the principal business men had been
