POULTRY GROWERS

v
TIE poultry department of the New
Jersey agricultural experiment sta
ton advises that careful attention be
given to preparing the laying houses
for the pullets. Before placing them
in their permanent quarters. the house
should be thoroughly cleaned and dis
infected. as precaution against dis
esse.
AS crowding Mowers the vitality,
each bird should be allowed Mt least
four square feet Of floor space. See
that all drinking fountains. feed hop
pers and other fixtures are raised off
the floor.
Ventilation should be secured by
means Of 'muslin-curtain window in
the front of the house. Keep this open
at all times. except in very stormy
weather and during severe cold spells.
Provision should be made for the larg-
est amount of sunlight possible in the
house. as this. is one of the best means
| of preventing disease. Windows should
be $" constructed that the sun can
touch every part of the floor some
time during the day.
1t is essential that the house be
kept dry. See that here are no places
in the roof or sides where rain can
beat In. Also. it is desirable to have
concrete floor, laid on a bed of 10
to IL inches of cinders. A dust box,
by feet and ~ feet deep. contain
ing fine dust. should be placed in
each house. In short, for the best re.
:. cults everything should be done to
give the birds the best houAng coo6i-
naas possible

What is lamentable i'm repub-

My complaint in the long years has
been. not that the republican party
did not rule well. but that IL ruled
along unscientific lines To my mind
a republican commander-in-ch chief
could rule we'll in such a conflict as
the one in which we are now en-
gagged. The democratic command
er-in-chief is ruling well. He has
the confidence of the rank and

publican leaders, but he has the en-
nifty Of the Prussian republican. the
man who is cocksure that no diff
ference what the issue or the cir
cumstances, the republican party
was born 70 rule. and that all dem
ocrauc rule is bad just because il is
democratic. Let us understand that
honesty and ability and loyalty are
individual and not partisan.
I am told by way OF defense, how
ever. that protestauons against
