MODERN METHODS
OF Hen HOUSING.
Tight, Warm Structures Should
Give to Well Ventilated
Quarters.
FRESH AIR VERY ESSENTIAL
Detailed Plan Given for Construction
of Ideal Home for Twenty to
Twenty-Five FowIs-curtained
Windows Favored.

Modern methods of poultry housing
make due allowance for the capacity
of domestic birds to withstand low
ample ventilation in the poultry house. !
Except in extreme northern sections,
or for breeds of fowls having very
large combs, u Is no longer consid
cred necessary TO build houses 50 sub
stantially that when they are closed
the cold is excluded and the temporal
ture in the house appreciably raised by
the heat from tile bodies of the birds.
Tight, Warm Houses.
The system of tight, warm houses,
once very popular, was based upon the
idea that to have hens lay in cold
weather they must be kept in houses
where water would never freeze. The
methods of housing now most widely
approved and used are based upon the
experience CT many poultry keepers
that egg production is more stable and
the hens keep in much better eondi-
ton when the house is built and used
with view to giving all the fresh
air that can be given without exposing
| the birds 70 a temperature that will
| frost their combs. 1t has been found
| that the combs of hens accustomed
| to low temperatures become frost re-
| sistant to remarkable degree, and
| the birds themselves much less sub
| ject to colds than when an effort is
made to keep the houses as warm as
| Is practicable.
Light Durable House.
| Except when the winters are long
| and severe. hens may be kept COM
| Portable and productive in house of
the lightest durable construction, pro-
vided the house has water-tight and
wind-tight roof, rear wall and end
walls, and front which can be opened
as much as is necessary to give thor
ough ventilation, or closed as much as
is necessary to keep out rain or snow.
For ventilation in summer 1t is adj
visable and often necessary to have
apertures in the rear wall, or in the
ends, toward the rear, which can be
closed perfectly tight in winter and

MODEL HOUSE FOR
SMALL HEN FLOCK

Here Is a house that can be
built quickly and easily and in
extensively to house a flock of
20 to 20 hens. The accompany
ing plan shows how to build it.
1t is s feet square and can be
made of 2 by finch pieces and
Pinch boards. The 2 by
pieces are used for stills, plates,
corner posts, and three rafters.
No studding is required except
that necessary to frame the door
and window space. The boards
are run up and down and give
the house sufficient strength.
They are used also for the roof,
which is covered with roofing
paper. The back and sides of
the house also can be covered
with roofing paper or the cracks
can be covered with wood bat
tens or strips liz to 3 inches
wide.
IN front. Z Of the house E there
; should be left window or
opening which can be closed,
; when desired, by a muslin
. screen or curtain which serves
as a protection against bad
weather but allows ventilation.
In the side a door should be
provided. A shed or single
slope roof is best because easiest
to build. A height of 6 feet in
front and 4 feet in the rear is
! ample. If desired the house
may be built higher. so that 1t
7 is more convenient to work in;
the increase in cost will be
slight. The ventilator in the
! rear is not needed in the north
ern part of the country, but is
desirable in the South where
summers are very warm.

{ needed to build this house is

Lieut.. Darling in France.


Word has been received here by his
cousins that Lieut.. Clinton S. Darling Of
the l0Sth U. s. engineers, has arrived
safely overseas" Lieut.. Darling, who
has always spent most of his summer va
cations here, is son of Mrs. Elva
(Stowell) Darling, Westminster West
girl who still owns the family homestead
for summer home, but it has been oecu-
pied by Walter Harlow's family, whose
home was one of those burned to the
ground -
Lieut.. Darling is graduate of the
Springfield, Mass, high school and grad
uated last June from the Polytechnic
Institute in Worcester, Mass. He began
work in Chicago soon afterward, but al
most Immediately enlisted in the LIST
regiment of Illinois engineers, which be-
came the l0Sth u. S. engineers and was
at Camp Logan, Texas, from August
until the regiment came to New York
the last of April on it's way abroad.
His cousin, J. Ora Codding, went to
Vernon to see him when he visited his
home there before sailing for Europe.
1t is rather singular coincidence that
the only service flag in this place is
floating from Mrs. Darling's house, in
honor of Sergeant Henry Harlow, now
in France, whose parents now occupy the
house, SO both boys belong to the same
house

THE MILLION DOLLAR BABY
By Saidee Estelle Balloon.

By Saldee EStelle Balcom.
''Myra, you must do exactly as l
say or all is lost"
But. my little one-oh, Arnold! !
l cannot part with him"
You must. That is the crux of
the entire situation. You will leave
here tomorrow, apparently with the
child. You must make the perilOus
journey over the frontier. The
child may be taken from you"
Arnold Brooks spoke with a def
mite seriousness betokening that
he meant every word he said. The
environment was typical of rude,
rough Mexican life. He was in
charge of some mining property
worked by Mexicans, and since war
disturbances had racked the coun-
try these had become indolent, in
different and often threatening.
Long since Arnold had left it un-
safe to remain in this hot-bed of
;nsurrection, and had decided that
sooner or later he must at least get
his wife back to safety and civiliZa-
ton. Then the birth of little Ed
win had interrupted.
1t was strange, but there was
only one person in the whole COM
munity to whom Arnold could go
for help, and that was Ezra Wash
ington. He was full-biooded
negro. With his wife and family
he had accompanied the Brooks
family to the mines to perform
household service, and had shown
such staunch fidelity to the inter
ests of Arnold that the latter had
learned to repose perfect confidence
il the crude, uncouth fellow and his
wife. They had a brood of five
children, occupied a cabin near the
hacienda, and Arnold felt a Ger
tain sense OF security in having
Ezra around, for the latter was Wig
liant and kept in close touch with
the doings OF the Mexicans 1t was
to the cabin Of Ezra that Arnold
went after leaving his wife and
child He sought out Ezra, took
him to a safe distance from any
possible eavesdroppers and faced
him gravely.
Ezra" he said, you have been a
diligent. faithful helper ever since
We came to the mines, and when
We get back home the company
