FRESH AIR FOR POULTRY
Thorough Ventilation of Houses De
sirable, Both Day and Night,
Even I'm the Coolest Weather.

There has been in recent years a
marked tendency in poultry house
construction toward securing more
fresh air, both day and night, by re-
placing the glass windows with cloth
or muslin or by making the front
either of muslin or entirely open, says
The Weekly News Letter of the De-
partment of Agriculture. Tight houses
with double walls are almost relics Of
the past. even in the most northern
parts of the United States. Fresh air
is one of the prime essentials in poul-
try houses, and warmth secured by
keeping the house shut up tightly is
not as desirable as a lower tempera-
ture and some ventilation. A house
which gives satisfaction in Maine will
also give good results in Texas or Cali
fornia, but it is preferable to build
more open and consequently less ex-
pensive houses in the South than in
the North.
The back and sides of the poultry
house should be absolutely tight in
order to prevent drafts which may
cause colds in the flock. This leaves
only the front of the house of muslin
construction or entirely open. An
opening which can be closed by a
shutter may be used to advantage in
the rear wall of a poultry house in
the South, or in growing houses in all
parts of this country, but this should
be constructed so that there will be no
draft in cold weather. The front of
the house should be so high that the
windows or openings will allow the
sun to shine we'll back into the inter
Tor during the winter. Burlap, un-
bleached muslin, or lightweight duck
cloth may be used for curtain in the
front This cloth should be thin
enough to allow a slow circulation of
air without a draft. This is impos-
sible if too heavy a grade of duck
cloth is used or if the cloth is oiled or
painted.
For southern conditions, houses with
the fronts entirely open are we
adapted. and this type is used with
success in all sections of the United

CHARITIES AND CORRECTION
The First Conference in Vermont TIC
Be Held In Burlington, Jan.
IL and IL.

Vermont is the last of the eastern
states to take steps to organize a
State Conference of Charities and Cor
rection.
The need of conference and coop
Grafton has been strongly felt by many
engaged in work for the dependent,
the handicapped and the deficient. AT
a preliminary conference it was de-
cided to call meeting for the purpose
of organizing such a conference, and
committees were appointed to carry
that purpose into effect.
The members of these committees
have arranged to hold the first State
Conference in Burlington, Jan. IL and
u. Able speakers have been secured
and it is believed that the conference
will be one of great interest and use
fulness.
The committees unite in inviting all
persons engaged in charitable or cor
rectional work and all persons inter-

participate in the conference. They
urge the need of a large attendance
so that the success of the endeavor
may be assured.

RYEGATE
Snow Shoe Tramp To The Top of Blu
MOuntain-LOcalS.

Mountain-LocaIs.
(Mrs. c. A. McKirahan, Correspond
ent.)
Nature outriValled herself in the eff
feet produced by the late snow storm.
To the nature lover the scenes along
the public highways were marvelously
beautiful. The overhanging boughs
covered with ice and snow made a
winter panorama rarely seen. Many
camera artists caught the views in
many of the most picturesque places.
The Blue Mountain club could not
let such a golden opportunity go by.
On Friday a snow shoe party started
from the village about two o'clock go
ing by train to George Cochran's at
the base of Blue Mountain. From
there they made the trip to the sum-
NIT on snow shoes. From the top of
the tower a fine view of all the sur
rounding mountains was obtained.
The cIearness of the air, the white
ness of the snow dotted here and there
with dark patches of woodland, the
distinct outlines of the distant mount
aims, the gorgeous sunset, all COM
bined to leave an impression upon the
company rarely enjoyed by the sum-
mer tourists. One of the party sur
prised the party by producing warm
maple sugar carried in a thermoS bot
tie and the dish of snow prepared by
nature was used to spread the sweet
upon, pointed sticks used as forks
and all enjoyed the luxury. All re-
turned in the dusk of the evening
glad they had braved the elements
and enjoyed the climb and maple ban
quet.

States. They require less attention
than houses where the ventilation is
controlled by the use of curtains or
windows, but in the northern half Of
the United States the majority Of
poultry keepers prefer TO have part or
all of the front of their poultry houses
under control, in order to keep the
snow. rain and wind from beating into
the house and to protect the poultry
during the colder weather. II the
curtain is not attended to, however,
curtain-front houses may be less salts
factory than the open-front type even
in northern ATTITUDES.
A large amount Of glass in the front
of the house makes IL warm during
the day but cold at night, as glass
radiates heat very rapidly. Some
glass, however, is helpful i'm providing
light when the curtains are closed.
Some ventilation should be given in a
poultry house even on the coolest
night 1t is usually best secured by
leaving a small window open or hav-
ing muslin curtains in the front of the
house. If the house is shut up tightly
without any muslin curtains in the
front there is a tendency for moisture
to collect in the house and condense
on the rafters and olher woodwork on
frosty mornings. 1t is not necessary
to close the muslin curtains in the
front of the house except i'm very cold
or stormy weather. Hens are pro-
tected by nature with warm feathers
and high body temperature so that
they are better able to withstand dry.
cold air than warmer air which is
damp.

were as depressed a. the business
men. Grandisson was the life and
soul OF society, and with his depar-
ture the bottom dropped out of every
thing.
Imagine, then, the happiness that
prevailed in Heidelberg when, in 1910,
another gorgeous eQuipage drew up
before the inn, and the great mer-
chant, with his wife and family, de-
scended from it! The whole town
gathered around him and cried "Wie
Geht's?" and the leading business men
embraced each other and wept tor
pure joy. Herr Grandisson was moved
to tears by the warmth Of his recep-
tion. He had come to stay this time,
he said. His heart had been aching
for Heidelberg wherever he roamed.
He had made up his mind to establish
a vine and figtree among his good
friends, even if his hat were shot full
of holes every time he went to the
post Office.
His wife, dignified and beautiful,
was less enthusiastic, but she seemed
pleased to get back. The children had
grown into fine young springalds, and
the herr's first action was to engage
a learned professor to act as their tu-
tor. The family secured another fine
house. and settled down to the fami-
liar life. Grandisson's popularity in
the town increased. He was SO free
with his money, and he had such
coolies Of it; he was such a good talk
er, and knew so many amusing sto-
ries; he was SO deep in great CONNER
cial affairs, and SO thoroughly posted
on all matters touching the wars, that
his company was q delight to every
body.
AS in other days, he made occasion
al trips from town, and he never took
anybody into his confidence as to the
nature of those trips. 1t was assumed
that he was looking alter his business
interests
Thus things moved along, and
Grandisson had become a town insti-
tuition, pointed to with pride, and it
seemed probable that he would live to
a green old age and die at last COW
cred with honors.
But one day the learned professor
who was teaching the children asked
for a few private words with Frau
Grandisson.
Your husband is away on one Of
his business trips?" he inquired, when
they were alone.
YES" she replied, and her eyes ex-
pressed anxiety; why do you ask2"
Il have a friend who is connected
with the secret service" said the pro-
fessor, "and he asked me so many
questions about your husband this
morning, and about when he is ex-
pected back. that l thought it best to
give you q warning"
Greatly agitated, the frau dismissed
the professor and at once wrote a let
ter which she mailed in great haste.
The letter was opened by the authori-
ties in the post office, and, by reason
of the contents, they were enabled to
trace down and arrest Herr Grandis-
son in Berlin, where he was living in
splendor at the Crown Prince hotel.
That dignified. imposing gentleman
was cast into a cell in the evening.
