cured by keeping the house shut up
tightly is not as desirable as a lower
temperature and some ventilation. A
house which gives satisfaction in
Maine will also give good results in
Texas or California, but it is prefer
able to build more open and conse-
quently less expensive houses in the
South than in the North.
The back and sides of the poultry
houses should be absolutely tight in
order to prevent drafts which may
cause colds in the flock. This leaves
only the front of the house of muslin
construction or entirely open. An open
ing which can be closed by shutter
may be used TO advantage in the rear
wall of poultry house in the South,
or in growing houses in all parts of
this country, but this should be con-
structed so that there will be no draft
in cold weather. The front of the
house should be SO high that the win
dows or openings will allow the sun
to shine well back into the interior
during the winter. Burlap, unbleached
muslin or lightweight duck cloth may
be used for curtains in the front This
cloth should be thin enough to allow
a slow circulation of air without a
draft. This is impossible if too heavy
grade of duck cloth is used or if the
cloth is oiled or painted.
For southern conditions, houses
with the fronts entirely open are well
adapted, and this type is used with
success in all sections of the United
States. They require less attention
than houses where the ventilation is
controlled by the use of curtains or
windows, but in the northern half of
the United States the majority Of
poultry keepers prefer to have part or
all Of the front of their poultry houses
under control, in order to keep the
snow, rain and wind from beating in
to the house and to protect the poul-
try during the colder weather. If the
curtain is not attended to, however,
curtain-front houses may be less sat
isfactory than the open-front type
even in northern ATTITUDES.
A large amount of glass in the front
of the house makes 1t warm during the
day but cold at night, as glass radiates
heat very rapidly. Some glass, how
ever, is helpful in providing light
when the curtains are closed. Some
ventilation should be given in poul-
try house even on the coolest night.
1t is usually best secured by leaving
a small window open or having muslin
curtains in the front of the house. II
the house is shut up tightly without
any muslin curtains in the front there
is tendency for moisture to collect
in the house and condense on the raft
ers and other woodwork on frosty
mornings. 1t is not necessary to close
the muslin curtains in the front of the
house except in very cold or stormy
weather Hens are protected by ma
ture with warm feathers and a high
body temperature, so that they are
better able to withstand dry, cold air
than warmer air which is damp.

PouItrymen Should Have Supply
of Green Feed to Last
Through Cold Season.
SpROUTED OATS ARE FAVORED
Provide succuIence and Bulk to Keep
Fowls in Good condition--cab-
bages, MangeI Wurzels, Clover
and Alfalfa Good.

Green feeds for poultry contain only
a small percentage of actual food nu-
trients, but are important because of
their succulence and bulk, which
tighten the grain rations and assist in
keeping the birds in good condition.
The poultrymen should secure a suffi-
cient supply Of such feeds to last
through the winter months in sections
where growing green feeds cannot be
obtained. When chickens are fattened
without the use of milk, green feed
helps to keep them in good condition.
Cabbage, mangel wurzels, clover, al
falfa and sprouted oats are the green
feeds commonly used during the win
ter. Cabbages do not keep as well in
ordinary cellars as mangel wurzels, so
where both of these feeds are avail
able the eabbages are fed first. They
are often suspended, while the mangel
wurzels are split and stuck on q nail
on the wall of the pen. Clover and
alfalfa may be fed as hay, cut into
one-half to one-inch lengths. or may
be bought in the form of meal. Alfalfa
meal has feeding analysis equal to
bran, but is not as digestible on ac-
count of its larger percentage of fiber
Glover and alfalfa should be cut while
slightly immature if they are to be
cured and fed to poultry. The leaves
and chaff from such hay are especially
adapted for poultry feeding.
Sprouted Oats Best.
One of the best and most readily OBJ
tainable green feeds which is now be-
ing used extensively as winter feed
is sprouted oats. The oats can be
soaked for L hours in warm water
and spread out in layer of from one
half to one and one-half inches deep
on a floor or in tray or tier of flats.
The trays should have openings in the
bottom or the bottoms should be made
of three-sixteenth inch wire mesh, so
the water drains freely. Sprinkle the
oats twice daily and stir them every
other day until sprouts are well start
ed. Unless the oats are stirred mold
may set in, thus spelling the feed.
They are usually fed when the sprouts
/ are LAOlu i " In llSAlES 1OuS3 dllllOuSD
some poultry men prefer allowing the
sprouts to grow to two or three inches
long.
Plan for Sprouting Oats.
Oats need moist, warm atmosphere
in which to sprout quickly, so that it
is necessary to furnish heat or to keep
them in a warm room during the win
ter, while they may be sprouted out of
doors during the rest Of the year. 1t
takes from six to ten days to sprout
oats, depending upon the temperature
of the room. If the oats are inclined
to become moldy, Notwithstanding the
fact that they are stirred during the
first part of the sprouting period, it is
advisable to treat them with formalin.
A solution made in the proportion of
one pint formalin to 30 gallons of wa
ter should be sprinkled over and thor
oughly mixed with the oats. A guam
tity of oats can be treated at one
time in this way, then covered with a
blanket for "a hours, then dried by
airing and stirring, and placed in
sacks. Oats thus treated and dried
may be held for long time for
| sprouting.

SEEK MORE TROUBLE

London January 2l.-tVia MOntrea1.) The Russian boshevik government for long time has been organizing an exten. sive propaganda for revolutions in China. India and Persia and is now ready, as soon as the opportunity offers. to send agents with large sums of money to stir up trouble throughout Asia, according to reliable advices received here.
 4 great obstacle facing the revolution ary plans of the bolsheviki Is the exper- fences of the army of the Omsk sovern- ment. which at present effectively bars the way to Asia by way of the Eral front If. however. it is pointed out Adrhira, Kolchaks army becomes weak ened and were to disintegrate through 'ack of support and encouragement. the bolshevik plans would very seriously threaten the peace of Asia.
 The most recent information reGeived from British headquarters shows that bolshevsm is spreading in the Ukraine. The new Ukraine directorate with head quarters at Kiev is a weak organization, without any decided policy It's attitude toward the bolsheviki is most uncertain and there is a current opinion here that the directorate favors an agreement with the bolsheviki. Although General Pet lura's forces are nominaily fighting the bolsheviki in the eastern Ukraine there are many bo,sheviki in his army. Mean while the bolsheviki are showing great activity in Kiev and the surrounding dis 'tricts. many well known bolsheviki hav- ing returned there.
