To obtain good results from flock
Of poultry during the winter all
houses and coops should be put in
good condition, only healthy fowls
placed in the buildings, and good care
given to the poultry. The houses
should be thoroughly cleaned, disin-
fected and made tight for winter. II
the house has a dirt floor, it is we'll
to remove three or four inches from
the top and substitute fresh gravel or
sand. II the floor is cement or wood,
remove all litter and dirt and put in
four or five inches of fresh straw or
litter. Be sure that the house is
tight on three sides and that there is
no chance for a draft to strike the
hens. If hens roost or are placed in
draft during the fall and winter,
colds are sure to develop, which may
result in roup and other troubles.
The south side, or front, of the poul-
try house may be left comparatively
open, but should be under control 30
that the openings may be closed
gradually as the weather becomes
cold. Have muslin curtains in the
front Of the house, or leave window
partly open even on the coolest nights
to allow some ventilation in the house.
Fowls will stand considerable cold air
provided 1t is dry, and ventilation will
keep the air thoroughly dry In the
house.
The pullets should be brought in
off the range and put in winter quar-.
ters, but before they are mixed with
the older fowls be sure that the hens
are banded or that the web Of the
foot is punched in some way 80 as to
distinguish between the pullets and
the hens. In this way the older stock
may be culled out whenever 1t ap
pears desirable, and the young hens
kept for further laying. Gull the
chickens which are brought into the
laying house carefully, and fatten and
market all chickens which are small

MUDDY BARNARD IS
MOST announcement
Keep Out All Water Possible and
Provide Means for Removing
All That Enters.
(By E. r. JONES, Secretary OF Wiscon-
sin Drainage Association.)

ASbOCldllOuJ
Both convenience and economy de-
mand a dry barnyard. The flooded,
muddy barnyard drives the chore boy
off the farm, carries the manure pile
down the creek and makes the old COW
wallow in the mire to reach the water
tank or the barn door. A dry barn
yard is within reach of all.
Assume that fate has been most un-
kind to you-that you have inherited
a barnyard that is flooded by the high
er land, that 1t is so fiat that even its
own rainwater cannot escape, and that
It has no convenient outlet for line
OF tile to carry the water piped from
the eavestroughs.
With a road scraper or grader you
can throw up a dixie around all but
the lower side of the yard. Seed grass
in the dixie and in the shallow ditch
on the outside of it. The dixie and
ditch will carry the food water around
the yard.
Next, make slope in the yard.
Raise the floor of the barn until 1t is
two feet higher than the surface of
the ground 100 feet away. You may
have to raise the entire barn, but do
it. Haul earth from the nearest sandy
knoll to fill outside of the barn to with.
in half a foot Of the new level Of the
floor. Haul enough to slope the sur
face gradually for fifty feet or more
away from the barn. Then pipe the
cave water to the ditch outside of the
dixie.
In short, keep out all the water you
can and provide means for remov-
ing what enters in spite Of you. I'm
like cultivated fields. barnyards are
tramped SO hard that drain tile for
undertakings are too slow. Surface
drains act more quickly.

Before Breakfast

Of poisons.

Millions of folks battle internally

you say. Well. it is guaranteed to per-
form miracles II you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, Immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass of real
hot water with teaspoonful Of lime

tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid
ueys and the thirty feet of intestines
Of the previous days waste, sour bile
and indigestible material left over in
the body which, II not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed into the
blood causing headache, bilious at
tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds,
stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleep
lessness, impure blood and all sorts
Oh ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to OBJ
tain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any druggist or store
keeper. This will cost very little but
is sufficient to make anyone a real
crank on the subject of internal sani-
tation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate
and hot water act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. 1t is vast.
ly more important to battle on the in.
side than on the outside, because the
skin pores do not absorb impurities in
to the blood, while the bowel pores do.
