Plain Poultry House for Small Flock

for breeds of fowls having very large
combs, it is no longer considered neces-
Sary to build houses. so substantially
that when they are closed the cold is
excluded and the temperature in the
house appreciably raised by the heat
from the bodies of the birds.
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 of many poultry keepers
that egg production is more stable and
the hens keep in much better condition
when the house is built and used with
view to giving all the fresh air that
can be given without exposing the
birds to a temperature that will frost
their combs. 1t has been found that
the combs of hens accustomed to low
temperature become frost resistant to
a remarkable degree, and the birds
themselves much less subject to colds
than when an effort is made to keep
the houses are warm as is practical.
Except when the winters are long
and severe, hens may be kept comfort
able and productive in a house of the
IghteSt durable construction, provided
the house has a water and wind-tight
roof, rear and end walls, and front
which can be opened as much as is nee
essary to give thorough ventilation. or
closed as much as is necessary to keep
out rain or snow
For ventilation in summer it Is ad-
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
opened as much as required at other
seasons

INCREASE OF POULTRY URGED
Appeal Made to City and Country Peo-
pie Alike to Help the Meat and
Egg Supply,

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Owners of back yards in cities and
towns are asked to do everything in
their power to help the meat and egg
supply by raising small fiocks of pouI-
try in back yards. Farmers are re-
flocks or hens SO that 100 on every
farm will be the average for the ma
ton.
The following statement regarding
the poultry needs is taken from the
official agricultural program for 1918
issued recently by the United States
department OF agriculture:
Poultry production should be in
creased greatly, especially in back
yards and on farms where waste ma
terial is available and the purchase of
expensive grains and other material is
not required.
Increased poultry production may
be attained most economically by early
Matching; by combining mother hens at
least ten days after the chickens are
Matched; by reducing losses on ac-
count of rats, weasels, and thieves,
and from cold, damp conditions: by
thorough sanitation; by discouraging
the marketing of early-hatched pulIets
as brOilers; by eliminating nonproduc-
ing hens and keeping good layers
through at least two laying seasons ;
and by the poutryman raising his own
feed as far as possible"

ITEMS OF HIGHWAY EXPENSE
Interest on Investment and Cost of
Maintenance All Have Vital Bear
ing on Road Plans.

The following is quoted from an ar
dcie by B. 81. Piepmeier. maintenance
engineer. highway department, state
OF Illinois:
There are three principal items of
expense connected with road improve
ment which the engineer must impress
upon the public mind before 1t will be
possible for him to construct an econ
Onntcal system of roads. These factors
are: The original cost of the improve
ment; the interest on the money in
vested in the improvement, and the to-
tai upkeep cost. When all of these
factors are taken into consideration, 1t
is evident that many of the cheaper
types Of roads, when properly main
tanned. will give the desired service
and yet. will be much more economical
on account of their low first cost.
when type of road is selected.
taking into consideration the three
principles set forth above, it is very
essential that provision be made for
proper and efficient maintenance. II
local conditions are such that mainte-
nance may be delayed or prevented,
preference should be given to a type
OF pavement that requires only small
amount of maintenance and which will
be serviceable for a period of time
even with no maintenance whatever.

1t is interesting to note the different
effects materials have in the various
shades. Brilliant, clear cOlOrs are good
looking for dull materials. By dull
material is meant one which does not
show up in the high lights. Reds and
bright blues look well. for instance, in
crepe or hOmespun, and have a total
" different effect when matched ex-
actly in the same shade of satin or
velvet. Quite the reverse is the case
with browns or blacks. for satin or

June weddings make a bright paren-

Just as many lovely brides grace just
as many beautiful bridal professions
this June as in Junes gone by-and
