BEST POULTRY HOUSE FLOOR
Each Has Its Advantages and Disad-
Vantages and All Should Be Care
fully Considered.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture-)
In making the floor OF the poultry
house several things must be taken
into consideration. Where the soil on
which the house is constructed is light
and well drained, earth floors are salts
factory and economical. Where the
soil is heavy and drainage is not good,
as is usually the case when it contains
much clay, floors made Of wood or ce-
ment are generally preferred Each
kind of floor has IFS advantages and
disadvantages, and it is only after the
consideration of all types should a
poultry keeper make his selection.
A floor of earth needs TO be renewed
at least once a year. If the drOppings
that fall upon the floor are carefully
removed at frequent, regular intervals,
much of the earth is removed with
them. If the regular cleaning Of the
floor is superficial, the earth of the
floor to a depth of several inches be-
comes so mixed with droppings that its
condition is very insanitary-
When the poultry keeper has a gar
den, the manure obtained by removing
the earth floor of the poultry house will
compensate for the labor of renewing
the floor, and the new earth required
can be taken from q convenient spot
on his own land. When the poultry
keeper must pay some one else 70
take away the old earth and bring in
new, the cost viii in a few years ex-
coed the cost OF a cement floor
The principal fault of a cement floor
is that it is likely to be cold and damp.
These conditions may be corrected by
covering the floor to a depth of an
inch or two with dry earth or sand.
using over this scratching litter OF
straw or shavings. Floors so treated
require as much routine work to keep
them in good order as earth floors. but
the supply Of clean earth required is
much less and the work Of annual rem
ovation is eliminated
Floors Of wood are not now much
used In poultry houses except when the
space under the floor is high enough TO
be occupied by poultry. A wooden
floor close to the ground soon rots,
while any space under a floor not high
enough to be used for poultry makes
q harbor for rats and other vermin-
The wooden floor Of a poultry house
should have a light coating Of dry
earth. sand. chaff or similar material

The Kansas Utilities Commission
granted an order recently to permit
the Kansas City Western InteruTban
Lines to increase the fares between
Kansas City and LeaYenworth. A
flat 2-cent fare, the statutory rate,
was established for business between
Kansas City and LeaYenworth, the
new rate being fifty cents between the
two cities, including the scent fare
on the Metropolitan in Kansas City.
Communication books are to be is
sued between Leavenworth and Kan
sas City, but Communication for not less
than forty rides month for an aver
age fare of one and one-third cents a
mile are to be issued from Wolcott to
Lansing for school children and from
Wolcott and intermediate points 10
Kansas City for students and workers
in Kansas City. The rate for COM
mutation books will remain the same
as at present, but with the require
ment that forty rides be taken each
month to secure the reduced rate. The
new rate was made effective at once.
The rate has been one and one
fourth cents a mile. A round trip to
Leavenworth formerly cost seventy
five cents; after this it will be 81.

Happenings of More or Less
Interest Gathered From
Many Sources.
FARMERS IN DEFERRED CLASS
More City Than Country Boys Re
CURED for Army Under Rulings
of the Draft Boards.

The deferred classification of farm
ers in the draft makes it necessary
for the city boys to go to the front in
greater numbers. This is shown by
the records of the Kansas draft
boards. Of 51,4S4 men in class I,
more than $4,000 have been given de-
ferred claims. Of this 1900 more
than IS per cent are farmers. In the
cities the deferred classification runs
under 10 per cent In the country
districts it runs from 40 to rs per
cent.
The record shows. that $1,000 men
remain in Class 1 and subject to i'm
mediate call The total number of
men placed in Glass by local boards,
was 34.2 per cent of the grand total
registration of June 5, 1917.
While many deferred classifications
were given men in special industrial
pursuits, the deferments in the rural
districts were especially heavy. The
advantage in favor of the farmer Is
shown by the fact that in Topeka city
misunderstanding the Santa Fe
shops and offices-the deferments
were but and IL per cent. Wichita
city averaged below per cent for
deferred classifications, while one
Kansas City district went as low as
2 per cent.
Contrasting the record in the rural
districts, Montgomery county-includ-
ing the cities of independence, COT
feyville and Cherryyale- received de-
ferred classifications for but per
cent of the men in Glass 1. Wichita
city district No. secured defeTmeat
for but per cent and the Second dis
trict for only 81 per cent. Kansas
City's First, Second and Third dis
tricts were granted 4, 2 and per
cent deferments in their respective
orders Kansas City district No. 4,
including the heavy railroad registra-
ton, secured deferments for II per
cent of men in Glass I.
