Success In raising poultry requires
more than purcbred or scientifically
cross-bred stock. The poultry house
is of equal importance. 1t must be
right in design and it must be prop

II the best results are TO be obtained.
Without regard for the size or shape
OF the poultry house, there are two
rules which should be followed: One
Of these Is that the building should
face the south or southeast. The other
Is that the north and northwest walls
Of the building should be carefully in
sulated against the wind. 1t is neither
necessary or desirable that windows be
placed I'm these walls. Generally
speaking, poultry houses are built too
high. Domestic poultry requires very

strucri0n is not necessary. The l"uh-
dation walls extend up Is inches above
grade and about - inches above the
floor.
The studding are connected with
the top of the concrete wall by usihS
sockets which are set in the concrete
After the inside wall board and the

one Inch of fresh cement mortar Is

a dead-air space surrounding the IN

The inside of the house Is divided
into two rooms; the larger room ~
the general scratching shed and the
smaller one is the nesting room. Both
rooms are supplied with removable
hen furniture, so that everything In

and mites are so troublesome in pOul-

height is necessary in order that the
attendant may work In comfort within
the building.
Sunlight Is just as important in a
poultry house as 1t is in human hab-
itation. Sunlight means health when
other conditions are favorable. At the
same time, dollhouse conditions must
be carefully guarded against. If
poultry house has too much glass in
its walls, II will be too warm in the
daytime, when the sun shines hot and
the radiation of heat at night will be
so rapid as to make the daily range of
temperature too great for best cOndi-
lions.
Ventilation is just as important as
sunlight. Poultry, to do well. must
have fresh air in ABUNDANCE. How
ever. the ventilating system must elm
mate strong drafts. Panels Of thin
cloth in the front wall of the building
seem to serve the purpose best.
In addition TO the poultry house. q
good yard must be provided. There
are weeks at time, during the VIM
ter, when the poultry must be closely
confined within the house. However,
as soon as the weather will permit.
the fowls should be given several hours
each day in a dry, clean yard. The
most satisfactory manner of keeping

FINDS SOURCE FOR POTASH
Invention of Or. r. G. cottreII Precipi-
tates Cement Dust From Which
II Is Made

Enormous growth in the cement in
dustry, which has been developed to
meet the demand for building mate
rial, now promises to solve another
important economic problem-that
of our potash supply Independent Of
Germany.
In the manufacture of cement there
is expelled into the atmosphere tons
of dust from the SmelterS which with
the fumes is carried by the wind and
settles in destructive sediment on all
vegetation, buildings, and objects in
the neighbOrhood of the shelters. Now
an invention made by DIR. F. G. Cott-
rell of the United States bureau of
mines precipitates the dust from the
smelters and enables the saving of the
potash contained IN it.
Last year one large California &C.
ment company, that had formerly been
compelled to pay heavy damages for
the dust distributed from It's plant. So
cured $4,000 net profit from the Dot
ash recovered by the new process. II
is now believed that cement plants at
present operating in this country can
secure a by-product of 100000 tons of
potash that has heretofore been worse
than wasted, and that, as the cement
industry enlarges. the greater part of
Americas potash supply can be Sc
cured from this source and ut the
same time reduce the cost of cement
manufacture.-Farm and Fireside.

Oyster Cheap Food

Only the sea herring can equal the
oyster in cash value as a product OF
the sea. This is partly because they
are so palatable and partly because
they are so inexpensive. A pint can
usually be purchased for 20 cents on
the coasts and nOurishing stew for
several persons can be made Of a pint
of oysters. The North Atlantic ocean
produces more oysters than are to be
found in the oyster beds Of all other
countries, but oyster farming is
profitable industry in many lands. The
mid-Atlantic coast is particularly noted
for its oysters.

Progress has been made in the art OF
aiming and dropping bombs 10 the
point where accuracy can be assured
in night work. According TO statistics
gathered by Mr.. Woodhouse. the bombs
now most in use are bombs OF 10
pounds weight, IS pounds, 100 pounds
and 112 pounds, with few of 800
pounds or more. Says Mr.. Woodhouse:
Bomb dropping from heights can
only be approximately accurate. II can
be made more accurate by the employ
ment of efficient bomb sights. \ few
of the older aviatOrS have learned by
long practice 10 drop bombs accurately
without sights, but as n general rule,
one can be more accurate with the
sight than without IT,"
one difficulty remains in the Use Of
airplanes by night and the inventive
faculties Of the cOmbatantS, Spurred on
ly overcoming this. The problem is to
provide light for flying operations and
for marking aircraft in flight. In Eng
land, in the early days of Zeppelin
raids, the casualties resulting TO pilots
who went up ut night TO attack Zeppe-
Inns were very high because of two
things: the insufficient number and
BADLY lighted landing places and the
laCk Of lighting devices on the ma
chimes. On one occasion - pilots went
up and i had accidents on landing.
But these conditions have been
changed. A pilot who finds himself in
trouble aloft and compelled to land has
only to fire his Verys pistol to have at
least one aerOdrome within gliding dis
lance brilliantly Illuminated so that he
may land in safety. In addition to the
Verys pistol night flying craft are
equipped with parachute flare which
is fired electrically from the pilots
seat. On release the flare falls q cou-
pie of hundred feet, unfOlds and floats
downward, casting a brilliant light
over the eXpanse Of about n quarter
of n mile.
Hollis landing lights are another de-
vice employed. These are fastened be-
meath the wings, which aid in reflect

headlights similar to motor car head
lights are also used, and night flying
machines now have navigation lights,
comprising tail light and a light on
each wing tip showing white ahead.

port side. Power for these lights is
generated in a small dynamo driven by
4 miniature propeller.
With these devices to aid night fly-
Ing, experts here look forward to the
time when raids may be made on the
German fleet and submarine bases by
big squadrons of giant machines, and
the opinion is gaining strength that in
such raids lies the solution Of the nreS-
ent U-boat peril.-New York Times.
