Overcoming Objections.

Objection is frequently raised to the
keeping of poultry in towns and cities
because Of the odor which may result
and also because of the noise which
is made by ROSTERS growing, particu-
larly in the early morning. There Is
no necessity for the poultry flock to
become nuisance to neighbOrs.
If the dropping boards are cleaned
daily and the houses and yards are
kept In reasonably clean condition
there will be no annoying odors. The
soil in the yard should be stirred or
spaded uE frequently If not in sod in
order to keep it in the best condition.
This will Hot only tend to keep down
any Odors which might arise, but also
allow the droppings to be absorbed in
to the SOL more readily and therefore
keep the yard in better condition for
the hens.
The male bird need not be null
sance. Unless 1t ls intended to hatch
chickens from the flock it is unneces-
sary to keep a male bird. The fact
that there is no male in the flock will
have absolutely no effect on the num-
Der of eggs laid by the hens. The
male bird should be sold or eaten just
as soon as the Matching season is over.
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1918-08-23

Poultry Yards and Eenees.

Breeding stock, and especially grow
ing chickens, should have an abund-
ance Of range, while hens kept solely
for the production of eggs may be kept
on small area with good results. In
rural districts the yarding of poultry
is sometimes unnecessary and in such
cases colony houses are used to advan-
tage. Under this system it is easy to
keep the birds healthy and the feed
bill is reduced, as they are able to get
good part of their feed from the
range. These houses, which hold about
10 hens, are placed from 200 to $50
feet apart and are moved from place
to place as new range is needed.
When poultry fences are needed, as
is the case in keeping poultry in towns
and cities and In some rural sections,
as few fences as possible should be
erected, as they increase the cost Of
equipment, labor and maintenance.
When very much land Is available the
poultry yard can often be kept in sod
On good soil this can be done by allow
ing 200 to $50 square feet of land per
bird (217 to ga birds to the acre.
while more space is necessary on poor
or light land. A large number of
fowls are usually kept to the acre
where double yards are used and the
land is frequently cultivated.
Plymouth Rocks and the heavy meat
breeds in small yards require fences
five to six feet high, while a fence six
to seven feet high is necessary for Leg
horns. The upper two feet of the
fence for the latter may be inclined
inward at an angle of 80 degrees, or a
strand or two of barbed wire may
help keep them confined, while it is
sometimes necessary to clip the wing
feathers of one wing of those birds
which persist in getting out.
Posts may be set or driven into the
ground. They should be set eight to
ten feet apart with common poultry
netting, or 16 to 20 feet with woven
wire. Corner posts should be about
eight inches in diameter, and be set
four feet in the ground, while interven-
ing posts may be four or five inches in
diameter and set three feet in the
ground. That part Of the post which is
set in the ground may be charred or
treated with some wood preservatiye
to advantage, while corner posts
should be firmly braced or set In ce.
ment.

The membership Of the socialist par
ty in Saxony has decreased from IT.
600 In 1914 to $4,000 paying members
at present, according to a recent Ores
den dispatch to the Berliner Tage-
blatt. The decrease was due to the
number of socialists serving in the
army and the split in the socialist par
ty of Germany. Deputy Gradnauer
speaking at the convention of Saxon
socialists, said that the circulation Of
socialist newspapers in Germany had
increased from 61S,OO0 copies on April

Rural Clubs Help.

Women's rural clubs have done much
to further the employment OF trained
workers for the counties, such as home
demonstration agents, county nurses
and county social service workers.
The state leader of home demonstra.

the women's clubs in that state have
been constant and earnest supporters
Of county extension work in home
economics. They have given financial
aid, used their influence to secure an-
preparations, bought canning club
products and given the work promi-
nent place on their programs.

This is desirable not only for the pur-
pose Of eliminating noise, but also to
save the feed that would be eaten by
the male and for the reason that the
eggs produced after the male is dis
posed of will be infertile. Since these
eggs are incapable Of chick develop
ment they keep much better than fer
tile eggs, and consequently are superb

CHICKENS AT HOME

A yard surrounded by a five
foot fence viii, under most con-
ditions, keep chickens at home.
If the hens show a tendency to
fly over such a fence, the fight
feathers of one wing should be
clipped. A fence made of woven
wire is preferable to a fence
made of board or other material.
A board should not be used at
the top Of wire fence, as this
gives the hens a visible place to
alight and tends to teach them
to fly over. The larger the yard
which can be provided the more
contented the hens will be. 1t
not only gives them greater OPP
portunity to exercise, but often
makes 1t possible to maintain a
sod on the yard, which is advis-
able.

Not Humorous Subject.

The legal authorities Of the depart
ment say that the chicken-and-garden
question, far from being subject of
humor, is undoubtedly a serious one,
and has probably led to as much
trouble, dispute and ill-feeling between
neighbors as any other single cause.
The department believes, however,
that in war time there will be more
of a principle of cooperation, and a
theory of live-and-let-llve. With every
one interested in a maximum war
time food production some way can
usually be found out of the difficulties
that may arise through the proximity
Of chickens and gardens.

Agricultural Department Urges the

The redress of the home gardener
against the inrOads of the neighbours
chickens will depend on the laws Of
the state or ordinances of the town
or city in which the gardener lives.
In some states owners are liable for
damage done by stock running at
large; in other states the person who
wishes to grow crop must fence it
against depreciation. In most Of the
Eastern states owners of stock are re-
quired to keep it under fence.
Response to Queries.
These facts are set forth by the
United States department of agrlcul-
ture in response to queries by garden
ers who have neighboFs raising chick
ems that harvest the products of Liber-
ty gardens before such products are
mature. The department is not pre-
pared to say which type of food-rals-
ing is the more profitable and praise
worthy, but says that both can go

gardener must provide the fence de-
ponds upon local statutes, or ordi-
nances, and the rights of the case
would be determined under general
principles Of law.

and Victory poultryman lived side by
