A floor like this becomes worn in spots.
and has to be renewed at times, but
it is very easy to place lime in the
depressions, that are worn by the hens,
and put little water on 1t.
The chicken house should always
be faced toward the south, and the
north and west sides should be care
fully closed. Chickens have very little
body heat, so the house must be care
fully protected against, the cold. The
ventilation cannot be handled in the
same way it is in stock barns. Thin
cotton is stretched over the windows
facing the south, and this provides
good ventilation without causing any
drafts. which are very dangerous to
poultry. Very little headroom is need
ed by chickens, so the back of this
house is only made five feet ten inches
high, while the front is seven feet ten
inches. A small place such as this
can be kept warm by the poultry.
Poultry houses are often neglected
in regard to appearances. There is
no particular reason for this except
| that the building is small and people
! think that it will not make any differ
ence. The necessary paint to make a
nice-looking chicken house can be had
for very little money and it can be ap-
piled easily in a short time.

PATRIOTIC DEMONSTRATION
$4,000 People in Line- for Cincinnati
Preparedness Parade.

Cincinnati, O.-Drawing on an esti-
mated population of over a million to
fin its ranks, the big preparedness pa
rade brought $4,000 people into the
line and constituted the demonstration
Of Northern Kentucky and Southwest
ern Ohio for military and naval pre-
paredness and at the same time was
an expression of patriotism. 1t was
by far the largest parade ever in the
streets OF Cincinnati, far surprising
the gold" parade in the presidential
campaign Of 1895. SO, too, it measured
up to the parades for preparedness in
other cities.
In another respect the parade was
remarkable. 1t was the first parade
here in which women took part on foot
in any great number 1t was a parade
that brought together native Amer
leans. some of whom came from an
cestors who landed long before the
Mayfiower, and men and women who
are foreign born. It was a parade
that leveled all ranks, the rich with
the poor, the learned with the unlet
tered, the prominent with the obscure
1t was a non-partisan parade, politics
played no part as far as the marcheri
we're concerned.
