Why Oil Floats on Water.

II seems very curious at first sight
that n liquid should be able 10 float
on the surface of another; but IL we
think carefully about II we see at once
that whether a thing floats on the sur
face of water or not depends upon
two things, writes the Child's Book
of Wonders. First, whether 1t is solu-
ble-that is, will dissolve-in water or
not. For instance, IL we put a piece OF
salt In water it disappears. because
the salt Is soluble in water. If. how
ever, we put a piece Of light wood on
water it floats there because it is not
soluble, and therefore remains intact,
and also because the weight of the
piece Of wood is less than an equal
piece of water. 1t Is much the same
with oil. Oil and fat are quite insol-
uble In water. and as the oil is COT
siderably lighter than the bulk Of wa
ter it floats on the surface.

In these days of high egg prices
every family is a likely addition to
the already vast army of backyard
poultry keepers. The United States
government is actively encouraging
this proposition, the department of
agriculture having recently issued a
special bulletin on ii.
The keeping Of a small flock OF lay
Ing hens on a town or village lot or
In a city back yard is an important
branch of poultry keeping. Though
the value of the product from each
flock is small of itself the aggregate is
large. The product of such a flock,
both in the form of eggs and fowls
for the table, may be produced at a
relatively low cost, because of the pos
sibilities of utilizing table scraps and
kitchen waste which would otherwise
be thrown away A small flock of
hens, even as few as six or eight,
should produce eggs enough, where
used economically, for a family of four
or five persons throughout the entire
year. except during the molting period
of. the fall and early winter. BY the
preservation of surplus eggs produced
Turing the spring and early summer this
period of scarcity can be provided for.
The keeping of pullets instead of hens
also will insure the production of eggs
at this time. Not only will the eggs
from the home flock materially reduce
the cost of living, but the superior
freshness and quality of the eggs are
in themselves well worth the effort exc

Forest Fire Is
Big War Evil

The president. we are told by Sci
ence, New York, has authorized a loau
of $1,000.000 to the forest service for
fire fighting expenses. to meet eIner-
gency conditions In the national for
ests of the northwest and the Pacific
coast.
The loan was made from the special
defense fund of $50.O00.00O placed at
the disposal of the president by con
gress. 1t is recognized that the pro-
lection of the national forests is an
important and essential war activity.
Forestry officials regard the present
fire season In the northwest as in some
ways the most serious with which the
government has ever had to cope. Ear
ly drought, high winds. electrical
storms, labor shortage and depletion OF
the regular protective force as a result
of the war have combined to make the
fire conditions unprecedentedly bad.
Necessity for resort TO the presidential
fund was due to the fact that the APP
preparation bill for the department OF
agriculture for the current year had
not yet been passed. =

comes the post office, with its bi-lin-
quail notices: for, since the Boer war

Finally, there is the town hall. Every
dorp aspires to g town hall. even

three square feet. Houses must be
dry and free from draft, but must al
low ventilation. Often there is a
small unused shed or building on the
place which can easily be converted
into a chicken house. The front of the
poultry house should be faced toward
the south, if possible, so that the sun
will shine into it. Perfectly satisfac-
tory houses can be made cheaply from
piano boxes or other packing cases.
Two piano boxes with the backs re-
moved can be nailed together and a
door cut In the end. These boxes
should be covered with a roofing pa
per in order to keep the house dry
and make 1t ~wind-proOf. A portion
of the door should be left open Or COW
cred with a piece of muslin, so as to
allow ventilation. Similar houses can
be constructed of packing cases at a
relatively small cost. A small amount
of two by four or two by three lumber
can be purchased for framing. The
box boards can be applied for siding
or sheathing, and then covered with
roofing paper. Where there is a board
fence it is sometimes possible to take
advantage of this by building the poul-
try house I'm the corner of the fence,
and making the fence itself, with the
cracks covered by strips or battens,
serve as the back and one side of the
house.
A cheap house 10 by 16 feet can be
made of two by four inch pieces and
Pinch boards. Plans for such a house
are given. 1t is constructed on the
curtain front plan, which supplies the
most satisfactory ventiiating system
eve adopted in a poultry house. As
the illustration shows, the glass sash
are up near the roof in the high front
to admit sunshine directly onto the
scratching floor late in winter when
the sun is high up overhead.
Ventilation Through Curtains.
In very cold sections of the country
sash may be fitted into the lower parts
of the window frames, but always n
must be left open for ventilation
through the curtain. Thin five-cent
cheesecloth is used for this purpose.
Poultry writer's sometimes make the
mistake of calling Ii canvas" Can
vas means alright or watertight. The
windows might as well be boarded
across as to fill in the openings with
canvas.
The most approved ventilating win
dows have the muslin stretched owe
an inner frame, which fits into a heav-
Ter frame in such a way as to stretch
the muslin tight and to permit easy
removal for washing. When muslin
is clean, the light gets through it
as well as the air. 1t looks cleaner
and better to have muslin nice and
white.

pended. Eggs are a highly nutritious
food and are so widely used as to be
almost Indispensable, and an occasion
al chicken dinner is relished by every
one.
Where conditions render it feasible
and cheap, small fiocks of poultry
should be kept TO a greater extent
than at present by families In villages
and towns, and especially In the sub
Irbs of large cities.
Need Not Be Nuisance.
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,
particularly in the early morning. In
some cases city regulations have been
formulated to prevent Or to control
poultry keeping. Where there are city
regulations ii is necessary to find out
their provisions and to conform to
them. There is no necessity for the
poultry flock to become a nuisance to
neighbors. IF the droppings boards are
cleaned daily and the houses and
yards are kept in q reasonably clean
condition there will be no annoying
doors.
The male bird need not be a nuis-
ance. Unless it is intended to hatch
chickens from the'fock 1t 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-
her of eggs laid by the hens. II it
Is desired to mate the hens and to
hatch chicks the male bird should be
sold or eaten just as o as me
Matching season is over. This is de-
sirable not only for the purpose OF
eliminating noises, but also to save

Of will be infertile.
The flock must be kept confined;
otherwise the hens will stray into
neighbors' yards and gardens, where
they may cause damage and are al
most always sure to cause i'll feeling.
House Need Not Be Expensive
The flock should be comfortably but
not extensively housed. A house
which provides a floor space of three
or four square feet per bird is ample
for the purpose. and fowls are often
successfully kept with an allowance

the roosts lifted off, so that the whole

Of the sun.
For Farm or Village.
This plan makes n convenient little
poultry house for either farm or viii
lage where good poultry is kept for
eggs in the winter time.
This poultry house is large enough
to hold 20 or 80 laying hens. 1t needs
about that many together in the winter
time to keep them warm.
In making this house warm for a
cold climate, 1t is necessary to make
the walls double. A light. two by four
sill is placed on top of tSa concrete
wall and 1t should be bolted down;
two by four studding is covered both
outside and inside with building paper.
The outside is finished with drop sid
ing or claphoards. The inside Is board
ed with narrow matched siding with
beading.
The roof is made warm the same as
the sides, and in very much the same
manner. Kiln-dried lining is very much
preferred and should he thoroughly
well nailed 20 prevent the Joints from
opening. The inside of a poultry
house must have no cracks to harbor
mites or lice.
