GOOD BUILDING FOR PIGEONS
1t Costs From $1.25 to $1.75 Per Pair
for Construction of Pen, Including
Fittings.

A gable roof building 10 to 10 feet
wide, 6 feet from the floor to the caves,
and s to 0 feet to the ridge makes a
good pigeon house. A pen by 8 feet
will accommodate % pairs of pigeons,
while 40 pairs may be kept in a pen
s by 13 feet The necessary floor space
to allow per pair varies from 218 To )
square feet, according to the size of the
pen, rs a pair. Of birds requires less
floor space in large than in small pens.
From 20 to rs pairs of pigeons may be
kept to advantage in each pen. Il costs
from $1.25 to $1.75 a pair to construct
pigeon houses, including interior fit
tngs and small outside pen or fly
way.
Fittings should be rs simple rs pos
sible and easy to clean. Two nest
boxes should be provided for each pair
Of pigeons and there should be some
extra nests. The nest boxes are usual
ly about u inches square. yet some
breeders prefer this width and height

with a depth of u TO IS inches Egg
or orange crates may be used for nests,
but they are difficult 10 keep clean and
less desirable than nests made With
one-inch boards. 4 good method 4
construction is to use lumber L inches
wide for the floor of the nests, arraug-
ing each floor SO that it viii slide on
eleats and can be easily removed and
cleaned. The nests are usually built in
tiers against the rear wall Of the pen,
extending from the floor to or feet
high, but they may also be placed OF
the side walls. All partitions should
be solid to the top Of the nests, but it
IS advisable to use wire netting above
the nests for ventilation.

ERADICATION OF RED MITES
All Night Pests Fill Their Bodies With
Blood From Fowls and Then
Hide in Daytime.

The red mite is the worst enemy
the poultryman has to contend with
and the very hardest one TO tight.
This pest is very small and normally
is grayish in color, but, more often,
1t presents u deep red color, be.
cause of the blood with which It is
filled.
Unless very numerous, the mites are
seldom found on the hens. The pests
work on the hens AT night filing their
bodies with blood, and hide beneath
the perches, and in cracks and crey.
ices near the roosting quarters during
the day.
WhiteWash is not very effective in
fighting the red mite. A better spray
ing material is coal oil emulsion. This
is made by dissolving half a bar Of
laundry soap in hot water and adding
half gallon of coal oil This mixture
can be diluted with five gallons of
water The emulsion is best applied
with #spray-Pump, for the reason
that the pump will put the fluid in
cracks and creyices that could not be
reached with a brush.
The job of spraying must be very
thoroughly done. Some of the mites
will likely escape the first spraying,
and for this reason it is advisable to
repeat the spraying in few days, and
again in Il week. to destroy the mites
that hatch from eggs.

COLD STORAGE is EFFICIENT
Recommended by Expert of Kansas
Agricultural College as Best Way
of Keeping Eggs.

Cold storage is the best way to pre-
serve eggs. in the opinion of f. e..
Mussehl instructor in poultry hus-
bandry in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
MANY preparations are used for
preserving eggs, says Mr. Mussehl,
"but none are as efficient as cold st0r-
age. Some persons use sodium sill
cate, commonly known as water glass,
while others use lard or one of the
many commercial preparations to pre-
serve eggs.
"These methods of storing eggs pre-
vent decomposition by bacterial action,
but do not stop engine action. The
engines are always present in the egg
and are active ut ordinary tempera-
lures. With good fresh eggs kept at
the proper storage temperature 81
or 81 degrees acknowledgements ac-
ton as well as bacterial action is pre-
vented. Three months is a long time
to keep eggs ut room temperature yet
this Is what the poultry department
has done
In order to prove the superiority OF
fnfertile eggs over fertile ones in keep
ing quality, Mr.. Mussehl kept a dozen
eggs IN his office for three months
When examined at the end of the
period they showed no signs of deeom
position other than slight thinning
of the white and yolk, and a faint
odor. These changes were due to the
action of engines within the egg.
