SUITABLE HOUSE FOR DUCKS
Fowls Forced to Sit on Damp Ground
Are Liable to Take Cramps and
Other Diseases.

Ducks, both old and young, should
have a dry, comfortable place to stay
in at night. If forced to sit on the
damp ground they are liable to take
cramps and cold in the head. The
latter is almost certain to turn to
roup.
Provide suitable houses If you wish
to be successful. The houses need not
be very expensive, but they should be
substantial, so that they may be used
for the same purpose several years in
succession.
There is usually some shed or
building that can be converted into
a duckhouse at small expense. Where
only a small flock is kept this plan
is advisable.
If the roof is good the rest is easy.
IF the weatherboarding is not suffi-
GENTLY close to keep out drafts in cold
weather, cover the outside with tarred
paper or strip with lath.
A board floor is better than an
earth floor because the ducks will often
stir up the ground in very disagree
able manner where there is the least
sign of moisture.
In cold weather ducks should be kept
in the house because their feet are so
tender that when they come in contact
with the cold ground they suffer great
ly and hobble along as though their
backs were broken. However, they
should not be kept housed more than
is really necessary.

OPEN FRONT POULTRY HOUSE
BurIap Curtain Is Placed over Open

try house my husband built for me,
writes Mrs. ]. NJ. Freeman of Sawyer,
Mich, in Farm Progress.
This house was designed some
years ago by DR.. P. I. Woods, a
prominent poultryman. Since build
ing this house, two years ago, have
not had a sick chicken on the
place. The front is boarded up Is
inches from the ground and down
nine inches from the top. The open
ing is covered with heavy quarter
inch mesh wire, over which we put
burlap curtain in stormy weather
to keep out wind and snow. At other
times 1t is always open.

WINTER HOUSE FOR TURKEYS
Shed With Curtain Front for Use in
Severe Weather Is Sufficient
Avoid Warm Building.

Although turkeys do not need a
good house for winter, they should
have shed Of some kind. Simply a
shed with a curtain front, to be let
down in severe weather, and a roost
well up toward the top is all that is
needed. In such place they would
be comfortable in most any weather
and will have conditions nearly like
outdoors. Tightly built, warm houses
are not necessary or advisable.

PREMIUM FOR SELECT EGGS
Those of Best Quality, Newly Laid, Are
Worth More Than Market Price
to Customer.

If average quality fresh eggs are
selling on the market for 35 cents per
dozen, selected, best quality new laid

to those who appreciate what is best
in foods. At no time should high grade
new-laid eggs bring less than 80 cents
