good ventilation without causing any

that the building is small and people

THEY BELIEVED
IN AMERICA

One hundred and forty years ago some half
hundred men. sent by their communities to con-
cert measures for securing their rights as Eng
lishmen" became convinced that these could not
be obtained save by ceasing TO be British sub
jects" and declaring themselves american cti-
Zens"
Let us look behind the formal phrases of the
immortal Declaration TO the faith Of these men
and Of the people for whom they spoke. What
was the faith that made vital their appeal for
the Justice of their cause and the righteousness
of their undertaking?
They believed in themselves; in their ability to
do right and Justice. They believed In the COM
petence OF stalwart manhood TO govern itself and
to provide for the common welfare. They be-
lieved they could make better arrangements in
government than had made before them.
They believed In themselves, I'm their people In
America.
Americans of late have done a great deal OF
ltfnding with America. There is hot so much
now as a year two ago. The spectacle across
the Atlantic tends to hush II, and TO give new
point to the saying that "other countries" are

OF GREAT MOMENT IN HISTORY.

The declaration of American independence was
of unecualed moment in history AS the result
Of that fact the United States of America has
risen to n greatness which has changed the face
of the world In little less than seven score
Of years 1t has changed us from nation OF peo-

people stretching over the whole continent from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. and even into the

out of what they make for him.
1t is absolutely necessary to have n
concrete foundation, as 1t is very dis
couraging to rats and mice to attempt
to dig through this material. In this
little house the concrete walls are car
ried up one foot six inches above
grade, which forms n very effective
barrier against the rodents that think
chicken houses form ideal dwellings
for them. The floor is also made of
concrete, so that the rats cannot bur-
row up from underneath. The floor
should be well covered with straw and
the feed can then be scattered through
this.
Strong, vigorous hens can only be
maintained If they are given plenty
ing them scratch for their meals. The
grain that is given to them should be
scattered through straw on the floor
of the house. It's great sight to
watch a flock of healthy hens make
the straw fly when they want a meal
Many poultry men make the floor OF
lime because they say the concrete
wears the claws of the hens.
Burned lime Is placed over the
ground several inches deep and is
packed down hard. Sufficient water
is then put on the lime to Stake II
properly so that 1t will form pasty
mortar which is then allowed to dry
and harden. This sort Of floor Is
