City planning is Of immediate inter

rapidly. They have enjoyed business
boOms due to war orders, and this
prosperity, even though it may not be
wholly substantial, makes necessary
permanent improvements.
Municipalities are among the few
businesses conducted today without q

the result of conditions developing

be to apply similar methods. 1.-THE

Cold, damp, poorly lighted and ven
dlated poultry quarters favor the
spread of such diseases as roup. Such
contagious diseases as these are diff
cult and sometimes impossible to con-
troll unless given attention in the early
stages. Whenever preventative meas
ures fall, separate sick birds from the
flock as soon as there Is evidence of
disease, and then consult expert advice
to effect a cure.

surfaces full-sized door and one or
more windows are needed.
RoOSts are commonly made of small
scantling or narrow strips of board,
about eight or ten inches length of
roost being allowed to each fowl. In
small, low coops the roosts should be
placed about twelve to fifteen inches
from the floor. In larger coops wide
boards, to catch the droppings of the
birds, are generally used under the
roosts, the droppings board being from
twenty to thirty inches from the floor
and the rOost few inches above the
droppings board.
The simplest form of nest Is q box
a little over foot square and not less
than five or six inches deep. When
space is limited the nests should be at
tached to the wall, the bottom of the
nest being foot or more from the
floor For fiOcks of five or six hens
two nests are needed; for larger flocks
one nest for each four or five hens.
The feeding utensils required are:
Hoppers for dry mash, trough for ia
Bile scraps or moist mash, small hop
pers for shell and grit, and drinking
pans or fountains. For flocks contain.

SUITABLE SHELTER FOR HENS
House Of Appropriate Size, With
Nests, Roosts and Feeding Appi-

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Every flock of hens needs a suitable
shelter-a coop or house Of appropri-
ate size, furnished with roosts, nests
and appliances for feeding and water
ing. A flock that Is to be used for
breeding should also have yard where
The birds can exercise on the ground
and in the open air. Hens kept only
for eggs for the table may be confined
to their house continuously for as long
time as ordinary hens are profitable
layers. 1t Is better to give them an
outdoor run, but when space is limited
1t can be dispensed with.
Small flocks need a little more floor
space per bird than large flocks, and
birds confined constantly to the house
should have little more floor space
per bird than others. A coop for six
hens should allow five or six square
feet of floor space for each; house
for twenty to thirty hens, three or four
square feet to each. Yards are usu-
ally planned to give not less than 20
square feet Of land per hen.
Small coops which can be cleaned
without entering them may be built
only three or four feet high. This
height is most comfortable for the
hens. Coops for flocks Of more than
six or eight birds must be of such
height that grown person can move
about in them. In low coop the same

Keeping the house In repair should

for the house in poor condition rapidly

repair bill Is far beyond the expense
necessary to fix it at once. A house

Successful Community Garden.

To relate the experience of small
borough in northern New Jersey last
year may encourage others to go and
do likewise.
The inhabitants subscribed to a
guarantee fund to finance cOmrnu.
nifty garden. The local clergyman was
put in charge of the enterprise. A
half days blowing was donated, but
all other labor was paid for, being
done largely by the local boys club.
Two sacks of potatoes were planted,
The crop was largely sold to people
who bought them by the bushel in the
ground, doing their own digging. The
net result was about forty bushels,
ond the profit, $5.S1, was donated to
the Y. M. c. A. war fund. The mem.
bers of the committee donated theiI
time and the assets were few hoes
The guarantee fund was never called
upon. If every borough or town In
the country could do as well the pc
tato crop next year would be increased
a million bushels.

Improvement In House Details.

There are odds and ends about a
house which, with little renovation
and improvements, add to the beauty
of the house. Front doors are in this
class. Formerly wood was used to
great advantage and still has not gone
out of favor, but glass and metal are
slowly becoming popular in this line
of house adornment. The new idea.
that of glass and metal, may be used
with taste provided the combination
is not ridiculous and in striking con-
trast to the architecture of the house
itself.

Plan to Beautify Iowa Capitol.

The state executive council expects
to employ landscape artist to work
out the planting scheme on the capitol
extension grounds. 1t is highly impor-
tant that this work be done by one
who is more than mere tree planter,
or one who has trees for sale. The
beauty of that future park will depend
to a very large extent upon having a
real plan, made by real landscape
artist, and then adhered to.-Burling

PLANTING Trees.

Pennsylvania is creating forestry
reserve. The planting of trees is pro-
crossing in way that has proved
most gratifying to those taking spe-
cial interest in the work. Some years
ago it was said that there was dan
ger of Pennsylvania becoming a tree
less state. Recent developments show
that such deplorabe state of affairs
will never come to pass.

SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tons War Conscience. Il
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People OF
the United States Averted
Famine at Home In Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people of the
United States were able to reduce BY
more than one-half million tons their
July, August. september and October
consumption Of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions Of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar In
the four.month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month.
q total of 100000 for the quarter
year. N~u
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach Its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 325,OOO tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 27e,-s
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions Of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes Of a sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation, They feared that
It would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to q point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury in the American diet
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton of sugar. BY it We have been able
to bridge over the period Of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops WIRE in sight.
Now the nation Is in a position 50
that II we choose we may return TO
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release Of ships to go
far afield, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use Of
sugar very considerably It must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own cOnsump-
ton.

KEEPING HOME FIRES BURNING
UNTIL THE SOLDIER RETURNS

The Red Cross has for years been

that those who do not come under

Ire the importance of the assistanR
rendered BY the Red Cross. II
Soldiers and sailors must be encour-
aged to "carry on" Their morale
must be upheld. The sailor or soldier
who is worrying about the welfare Of
his family Is not able to put his mind
on the business before him. For this
reason the Home Service Section Of
the American Red Cross has been or

means neighborliness, counsel and aid
the nations assurance to the enlist
ed man that his family shall suffer for
mo essential thing that is within its
power to give. e
In practically every large city Of the
United States there il already q class
for training the workers of the Home
Service section, 80 that they may be
able to ehhciently deal with the very
real problems that are before them.
1t II not the policy Of the section to
force upon families the aid Of the Red
Cross nor to burden them with inter
ference. No family should be ap-
preached unless some member of the
family or some person capable of
speaking for them has asked for the
service. Because 1t ID the desire Of
the Committee on Civilian Relief, un-
der whose direction this work comes,
to keep the service Of the bureau
strictly confidential, the wearing Of
any uniform by the Home Service
workers has been discouraged. They
call simply a. friends and try to call
Immediately when requested.
In no instance Is a visitor permit
ted 10 pry into the secrets Of the fam
lily. Help IL always ready, and the call
usually comes from the man in the
service himself. Through the work
err In the camp or at the front he
learns that his family may be assisted,
and If he does not hear regularly or
encouragingly he is quite apt to talk
over with the Red Cross man or wo-
man the affairs Of his home when he |
learns Of the friendly interest, and
thus send local workers to his family |
