Chickens Do Better When Made Com.
Portable In WeII-Constructed
House.
is preferable to build more open, and
consequently less expensive. houses in
the South than in the North. The best
site for the poultry house depends prin-
cipally on the local conditions. The
location should have good water and
air drainage, SO that the floor and
yards will be dry, while the house
should not occupy low pocket or hol-
low in which cold air settles, and it
should be situated for convenience in
management and adapted to the avail
able land. Wherever possible a SOUTH
ern or southeastern exposure should
be selected, although this is not essen
tial If there is any good reason for fac
ing the house in different direction.
Poultry can be raised successfully on
any well-drained soil. A, light loan
which will grow good grass is well
adapted for this purpose, while very
light sandy soil through which the wa
ter teaches freely will stand more in
tensive poultry conditions, but most of
the green feed for the fowls kept on
such soil will have to be purchased.
A heavy clay or adobe soil is not as
well adapted to poultry raising, as
such land does not drain readily, and
it is much more difficult to keep the
stock healthy. Long stationary houses.
or the intensive system, saves steps,
but it is easier to keep the birds healthy
and to reproduce the stock under the
colony system, where the Dir DIS are al
lowed free range. Breeding stock, and
especially growing chickens. should
have an abundance of range, while
hens used solely for. the production Of
market eggs may be kept on very
small area with good results. The col
ony house system necessitates placing
the houses, holding about 100 hens,
from 200 to $50 feet apart, so that the
stock will not kill the grass. The coll
lony system may be adapted to severe
winter conditions by drawing the col
ony houses together in a convenient
place at the beginning of winter, thus
reducing the labor during these months.

CONSERVATION OF
ICE STRONGLY URGED

Waterville. Me, Feb. o5.--(SpeciaD--
Leon 0. Tebbetts of this city. the
United States Explosives Commissioner
for Maine. today received a communi
cation from Van H. Manning. director
Of the Bureau of Mines and Mining of
the Department of the Interior at
Washington. directing him to let each
man of the Advisory Committee and as
many more as can be enlisted, urge to
the utmost the conservation Of natural
ice.
The annual harvest Of ice in this
country must this year be greater than
ever before, says Director Manning.
Explosives and other articles entering
into the war have created an enormous
demand for ammonia.
tremendous quantities of ammonia
are each year utilized in The nanufac-
ture of artificial ice This ammonia
will not be available next summer to
use in. artificial ice machines. The
shortage of ice during warm weather
in 1918 would result in untold waste of
perishable goods in the homes. in small
creameries, and other establishments
dependent on constant ice service.
There is little hope to increase the out
put of ammonia, which is chiefly a
product of gas plants. and by
product of coke ovens. Hence. the
necessity OF conserving by every posi-
BILE means the normal supply.
The surest means of avoiding an fee
shortage is a large harvest of natural
ice. stored locally, SO as to make county
establishments independent Of the out
put of the ice factories"
