Col. Roosevelt to the contrary will
not convince us one way of the
other. There is no use in denying
that the hypen vote is in back of
Hughes. A man who votes for
Hughes admits that the hyphens
were right in their anarchistic &C
tions. Right here and now we
come to the parting of the ways.
The Tyndall Tribune is of the
opinion that candidate Hughes is
a man of courage" because be
dared to speak to a democratic
audience in Nashville, Tenn. Yes,
it takes a man with nerve to sell to
face any audience for that matter
on the platform that Hughes
stands on. If Hughes would stick
his little hammer in his vest poe
ket and talk like a real statesman
by telling the people that he would
have done if in Wilson's boots be
might be taken seriously by people
who think. The mighty issues
that had been raised during the
past two years are too serious as
to be dragged back and forth thru
the mire of peanut politics. Il
Hughes wants the Office, and ha.
no other reason, it seems to us
for writing to become PRECEDENT
why does he not summon up hi
courage" and say so in fou

Blood as Food Highly Commended.

Unfortunately there several flies in the

RAISE BEST PULLETs
Young Fowls Ought to Be Kept
by Themselves in Winter.
Older Hens Are Invariably Boss of
Flock and at Feeding Time There
Is Much Picking and Fighting
--Interesting Test.

About one-third of the average farm
flock is renewed each year. At the end
of summer the Oldest and fattest of
the hens are culled out and the pullets
are turned into the general flock to
take their place. Eggs in any quantity
are not expected until well on toward
spring. There is a period of several
months during which the flock has to
be carried over on the strength of what
and early summer.
This is a wasteful and unnecessary
method of handling any flock, says a
writer in an exchange. 1t is not giving
the pullets fair show. For several
reasons, the pullets, no matter how few
in number, ought to be kept by them
selves.
The older hens, especially if they
excel in numbers, are invariably boss
of the flock. At feeding time there is
much pecking and fighting and the pull
let's have to stand back. Even if food
is plentiful and they eventually get
their fill the constant state of nervous
ness is fatal to an early egg yield.
Hens in large flocks lay proportion
ately fewer eggs than in small flocks.
We conducted an interesting little ex-
pertinent along this line. Sixty hens
of varying ages were confined in a
house away from the general flock.
Year after year the hens in this small
er house led the larger flock in egg
production. To determine whether
this was due to better housing or to
difference in size of flock dozen of
the oldest hens were removed to an

manner OF finishing barns. The use
of red paint In barn finish, which al
most became a habit not long ago, is
slowly giving way to less conspicuous
and more artistic methods of finishing.
Barns painted light gray with white
trim, pure white with light-tinted
roofs, and In many other pleasing
ways, are now quite common through
out the country.
A combination barn built on the
lines shown in the accompanying illus
trations is very convenient barn for
the smaller farms. 1t is structures
30 feet by 40 feet designed in accord
ance with modern practice and ar
ranged to furnish space for the live,
stock, wagons and implements of
small farm.
The foundation is well built of con-
crete, having the walls carried down
below frost. and up above grade so
that moisture cannot get to the stills,
and rot the wood The floor Is of con-
crete throughout and is level and fin
ished smooth, with the exception OF
the COW stable floor, In which the man
ger and gutter are formed. The smooth
concrete floor is easily kept clean and
is therefore an ideal floor In oil parts
of the barn except in the horse stalls,
where the hard surface is objection
able. In the stalls wood block or
other floor may be laid over the con-
crete, giving construction which is
capable of renewal and is not subject
to settling. The concrete surface may
be made gritty In back Of the COW
stalls to prevent slipping.
The floor plan shows stabling for six
cows In one corner of the barn, while
the opposite side is given over to the
horses. There is stabling for four
horses in the single stalls, and box
stall is furnished to provide space for
an animal which requires individual
attention. A harness room is built
handy to the horse stalls.
There Is small grain room and
space for wagons or implements, with
convenient doorway 10 feet wide.
The concrete floor in the implement

the wheels Of the implements In the
best of condition.
Overhead Is considerable storage
space for hay or other kinds of fod-
der. The NOV Is nearly 80 feet In
height, measured from the haymow
floor, and this space Is free from posts
or crosswise timbers. This NOW space
is ample for the small farm and will
be greatly appreciated by the farmer.
The NOV may be filed easily and
quickly by means OF horse fork,
which operates from the projection at
the front end of the barn.
The hay-carrier track is suspended
from the short collar beam close up
under the peak of the roof. The car
Is one of the new varieties that work
so easily and freely that the oldtime
horse-fork troubles are forgotten. The
car rolls out on the track projection,
so the fork drops lightly onto the cen

gambrel shape Is used for the roof,
and there are no cross braces from one
side Of the barn to the other to clut-
ter up the haymow. Cross braces in
terfere with the storage space, and are
eliminated, since they are not needed
to develop the strength of this type
of barn. Another advantage in the
plank frame construction Is found in
the ease of construction. 1t is not
necessary to call in all Of the neigh

APPRECIATED IN HEN HOUSE
Straw Is Particularly Valuable on
Floors, Along Walls and Over
head-Serves as Carpet.

Straw is too valuable an asset on
any farm to burn. Particularly is it
appreciated in the hen house. Use
it on the floors, along the walls and
overhead. Make the hen house home
for the hens and make it comfortable
Use straw for a loft and the house
will be dry. One-inch mesh wire or l.
by-4 boards laid over the rafters and
placed about two inches apart will
furnish good support. Along the walls,
wire serves this purpose very nicely.
Lath or burlap bags stretched tightly
over studding may also be used.
Always provide the house with a
deep litter of straw. 1t serves as a
warm carpet and keeps the birds feet
off the cold floor.
A vent placed in the roof over a
straw loft will aid in promoting good
ventilation and help keep the house
dry.
