1t was a Sunday evening at Fit.
Benjamin Harrison and the crowd of
sisters, mothers, aunts and sight-seers
was waiting at the interurban station
for a car. AT last one came. At the
same time a crowd of soldiers with
leave to go to the city arrived. 1t
was evident that the lone car and it's
small trailer could not carry all the
passengers. The soldiers held a lit
tie consultation, and then suddenly of
fered to the women the use of the
train. They said they would wait for
another car. The train filled with sis
tiers, mothers, aunts and sight-seers left
the little group, and the soldiers were
thanked many times for the favor.
AT the siding just east of town the
train bearing all these civilians was
stopped and backed on to a switch.

Success in raising poultry requires
more than pure-bred or scientifically
cross-bred stock. The poultry house
is of equal Importance. 1t must be
right in design and it must be prop
erly located. The poultry house eff
fects the success in raising poultry in
two ways: 1t has a direct effect in
providing protection for the fowls and
giving them every advantage which
makes for good health and maximum
laying capacity; 1t has an indirect eff

troll of the farmer, who is able to give
them the attention which they require
If 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 ofner
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 in these walls. Generally
speaking, poultry houses are built too
high. Domestic poultry requires very
little headroom, but the excessive

to be authorized by the state, and no
monastic association can be authorized

The Worst Way,

Back in the dark ages, when the
management of the Erie railroad was
not all that it should have been-the
rolling stock needing more oil and the
common stock less water-a west
bound passenger train jolted into Corn
ing one day two hours behind time and
halted to patch up the engine and
take on such passengers as were in
no hurry and preferred waiting to
walking.
Just as the train was about to jerk
itself in motion an excited individual
came rushing along the platform, drag
ging heavy carpetbag with one hand
and waving telegram with the other.

smaller one is the nesting room. Both
rooms are supplied with removable
hen furniture, so that everything in
side Of the walls may be lifted off and
carried out-of-doors for cleaning. Lice
and mites are so troublesome in poul-
try houses that facilities for keeping
the place clean are absolutely neces-
sary.
1t is for this reason, also, that the in
side of the poultry house is lined with
wall board, which is cemented at the
joints and the whole surface painted
carefully with three coats of thin
paint, thoroughly rubbed in to ill ev-
cry crack and to cover every rough
place that could possibly make a hid
ing place for vermin.
In this plan there are three outside
doors for convenience in feeding the
fowls and cleaning the house. The
door to the west should be fitted with
memberships and kept shut most of
the time in winter.

1t is built on wall of concrete and
has good concrete floor, the idea be-
Ing permanency and sanitation togeth-
er with protection against rats and
mice. After the concrete walls have
| been built, the ground is leveled inside
and settled with water. The floor is
placed above this, the concrete being
in the proportion LIZ IS. Instead of
using a rich cement mortar surface
coat, the top of the floor may be COW
cred with a one-inch coat of lime NOR
tar made with very fine sand. This
material is softer than cement and is
better for the Poultry. There is so
little weight ON the henhouse floor
that the ordinary solid concrete con-
struction is not necessary. The foun-
dalton walls extend up Is inches above
grade and about Is inches above the
floor.
The studding are connected with
the top Of the concrete wall by using
sockets which are set in the concrete.
After the inside wall board and the
outside drop siding have been carried
up the studs short distance, about
one inch of fresh cement mortar is
placed in each of the spaces between
studs and worked into the corners
thoroughly, to prevent cracks through
which the wind can blow and to seal
the walls against poultry insects.
Above the stills, the walls and roof are
sealed both outside and inside and a
layer Of building paper is placed
against the studs under both the wall
board and the siding and against the
rafters under both the wall board and |
the sheathing. The object is to make |
a dead-air space surrounding the in
closed space so that the temperature
of the interior will be held as even |
as possible.
To facilitate ventilation and to get
the benefit of the sunlight, the roof is
given long slope at the back and a
short dip in front, as is clearly shown
in the perspective view. This also
gives headroom for the attendant in
the front part with low roof at the
back, which is appreciated in the win
ter time when there is not much heat
from the sun. The front intake ven

In addition to the poultry, house,

Sunlight is just as important in a
poultry house as it 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 a
poultry house has too much glass in

H0LSTE|N COW AGAIN
BREAKS WORLD RECORD
4 Cow That Actually Produced
Fifty Pounds Butter in
a Week.

The following item regarding the
great record Of butter production made
by a Holstein cow is published at the
request of local Holstein breeders. We
had been promised cut to accompany
this article but it failed to arrive in
time, and we will publish the pic
ture Of Her Ladyship in a later issue:
Segis Fayne Johanna, Holstein-
Friesian cow owned by Oliver Cabana,
Jr, zone Of Buffalo's foremost business
men. today is worlds champion, having
produced in an official test 4O.54 lbs. fat,
the equivalent of over SO pounds of but
ter, in one week. The test was con-
New York State Agricultural College Of
Ithaca, and the cows performance has
been formally chronicled in the official
records of the Holstein-Friesian Asso-
citation of America.
Up to this time no other cow of any
breed has been able to attain the So
pound mark. Johanna's record for the
seven consecutive days is equal to 5O.6S
pounds of butter, and she produced in
the same time 1908 pounds of milk.
The average butterfat percentage was
5.547. The previous high record was
made by COW owned by NJ. J. Smiley
Of South Dakota, and falls 391 pounds
below the mark set by the new cham
pion.
The seven-day test began Dec. %, at
Pine Grove Farms, and on the strength
Of the showing made, it was decided to
continue the official test in the hope Of
securing the 30-day record. With fav-
orable weather conditions. the indica-
tons were that this would be easily ac-
complished. On the thirteenth day,
however, a sudden change in the tenn
perature occurred. The mercury drop
ped to zero and blizzard set in. De-
spite this adverse circumstance, the fig
ures recorded showed but a slight fall
ing off and were as follows: Fat. ID
days, 1882 lbs; milk, II days, 1861
lbs; per cent fat, II days. 5.235.
What the 50-pound mark really means
can be realized from the fact that there
are today only Is cows in the world
that under official test, have managed
to cross the 40-pound mark. These are
all Observation-Disclosures. The record of
46,772 pounds Of butter obtained by Mr..
Smiley's cow was regarded as a phen-
omenal one, and many leading breeders
and authorities then believed the limit
had been reached.
