APPRECIATED IN HEN HOUSE
Straw Is Particularly Valuable on
Floors, Along Walls and Over.
hsad-serVes az Carpet

4 Straw is too valuable an asset on
any farm to burn. Particularly is it
appreciated in the hen house. Use
it on the floors, along the walls and
overhead. Make the hen house a home
for the hens and make it comfortable.
Use straw for a loft and the house
will be dry. one.inch mesh wire or 1.
by-4 boards laid over the rafters and
placed about two inches apart will
furnish good support. Along the walls,
wire serves this purpose very nicely.
Lath or burlap bags stretched tightly
over studding may also be used.
Always provide the house with n
deep litter of straw. 1t serves as a
warm carpet and keeps the birds feet
on the cold floor.
1 A vent placed in the roof over !
straw loft will aid In promoting good
ventilation and help keep the house
j dry

AVOID DRAFTS IN HEN HOUSE
Attention Given at Right Time VIII
Prevent Roup and Other Trou.
bIes-LeaVe Window Open.

Be, sure that the house is tight on
three sides and that there is no chance
for draft to strike the hens. If hens
roost or are placed in a draft during
the fall and winter, colds are sure to
develop, which may result in roup and
other troubles.
The south side, or front, of the poul-
try house may be left comparatively
open, but should be under control, so
that the openings may be closed gradu-
ally as the weather becomes cold.
Have muslin curtains in the front
Of the house, or leave a window partly
open even on the coolest nights, to al
low some ventilation in the house.
Fowls will stand considerable cold
air, provided it is dry, and ventilation
will keep the air thoroughly dry in the
house.

VARIETY IN DIET ESSENTIAL
piarrhea, Indigestion and Liver Trou.
bles Caused by Overlooking or
Peorly.5aIaneed Ration.

Overlooking or poorly.balanced ra.
ton causes diarrhea, indigestion and
liver troubles in the chicken flock. A
diet that is practically all Of one thing
may often be responsible. There may
be an overfeedlng Of corn which causes
the bird to become too fat and in that
condition they are unable to throw OF
the germs.
Diarrhea is caused by too much an.
inal food. Lack of this, entirely, is
also just as dangerous. The happy
medium should be struck in allied.
ing. The ration that contains no green
feed Is almost as detrimental to the
hen as all grain and no hay would be
for the dairy COW.
Green material of some sort is need.
ed for health and egg production. Liv.
er trouble results, usually, from too
much food of fattening nature.

Coal Ashes viii Do.

II fowls are confined to a place
where they cannot find dust to wallow

can take a dust bath, as this is neces-
snry to their health, acting as clean

II soil or dust is not procurable
sifted coal ashes will answer, bu;
wood ashes should never be used, as
the alkali In them destroys the oil In
