SUITABLE HOUSE FOR FOWLS
Hens Should Be Comfortable, With Floor Space of 3 or l Square Feet
 for Each Bird.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture,)
 The poultry flock should be comfort ably but not expensively housed. A house which provides a floor space of or square feet per bird is ample for the purpose. and fowls are often sue cessfully kept with an allowance no greater than 21a to 3 square feet. Houses must be dry and free from draft, but must allow ventilation. Often there is an unused shed or small building on the place which can easily be converted into a chicken house. The front of the poultry house should be faced toward the south. if possible, so that the sun will shine into it. Per fectly satisfactory houses can be made cheaply from piano boxes or other packing cases. Two piano boxes with the backs removed can be nailed to- gether and door cut in the end. These boxes should be covered with a roofing paper in order to keep the house dry and to make it wind-proof. A portion of the door should be left open or GOV cred with piece of muslin, so as to allow ventilation. Similar houses can be constructed of packing cases at relatively small cost. A small amount of by f or 2 by 8 lumber can be pur- chased for framing. The box boards can be applied for siding or sheathing and then covered with roofing paper. Where there Is board fence 1t Is sometimes possible to take advantage of this by building the poultry house in the corner of the fence. and making the fence itself. with the cracks GOV cred by strips or battened, serve as the back and one side of the house.
 A cheap house by 8 feet square can be made by 2 by finch pieces and 12 inch boards. The by 4 pieces are used for sills, plates, corner posts, and three rafters. No studding is required except that necessary to frame the

INSURE CHICKENS AND EGGS
Farmer Who Matches Early in Spring Seems to Have Best of Argument
 Lay in Winter.

An essential part of the endeavor to insure more chickens and eggs is con tained in the maxim-hatch early. The farmer who hatches early in the spring, either by incubation or natural meth ods, seems to have all the best of the argument. When chickens are matched early in the spring they mature in the fall and lay eggs in the winter. Then, in the spring, they are ready to hatch early. Late-hatched fowls are late in maturing, do not lay in the winter, and do not sit until late in the follow ing sprlg

TYPES OF DRINKING VESSEL
Closed Fountains Constructed to Keep Out Dust and Dirt-Hard to
 Clean When Foul.

There are two different types of drinking vessels for poultry in common use: Open vessels-pails, pans, crooks and the like; and drinking fountains so constructed that dust and dirt can not get into the water except by way of a very small exposed surface.
 These quite opposite types of drink ing vessel are about equally popular with poultry keepers. Open vessels catch more dirt and dust, but are more easily cleaned. Closed fountains may be used much longer without clean ing, but if allowed to become foul are harder to clean thoroughly.
