Too many poultry stories read like
fairy tales In which Aladdin is often
represented as rubbing his magical
lamp and converting poultry poverty
into flock prosperity. Unlike such
warping Of the truth, this is the story
Of an actual experience of backyard
poultryman who was not able to buy
an automobile from his flock profits,
but who did furnish fresh, nutritious
food and az abundance of Il for his
family table, in addition to enjoying
his work.
The attractive. and servlceable poul-
try house designed and constructed by
this suburbanlte cost less than 500
when 1t was completed In 1914. 1t has
a concrete floor, roosts, trap nests, a
water system, and other hen house
accessories. 1t is a pleasure to look
at this hen house, which would be
really ornamental to the back yard of
any thrifty American.
The building Is IL by IS feet, and
Is divided into three pens with an
aisle at one end. The house is TX
feet high from the floor TO the front
caves and G feet at the back. yell
low pine drop siding of medium quail
lty was used for sheathing and roof
ing purposes, the latter being over
laid with prepared, stone-surface, as
phalt roofing. Adjoining the house,
with direct access to It, are four pens,
one of which is used for small chick
ems, being inclosed with one-inch mesh
chicken wire.
Plenty Of Light From Windows.
The windows are an attractive fea-
ture of this house. They cost COM
plete $1.50 apiece, those at the side
being bungalow windows of large and
odd size which the dealer was glad to
get rid Of. The front windows can
be opened both at the top and bottom
for ventilation. The side windows,
which help to provide free circulation
of air, are practically waterproof, as
they are hinged at the bottom and
swing inward. The material for the
floor of this house cost $40, the owner
laying the concrete floor during the
evenings by aid Of an oil lantern.

chicken house was equipped with four
rabbit hutches designed, according to
the directions of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. In the main
he raised Belgian hares only during
the fall, winter and early spring up to
the time of the setting season, when
the space occupied by the rabbits was
needed by the hens. Then he would
reduce his rabbitry to the minimum
point. In this way the rabbit quar-
tiers provided plenty of space, by the
use of partitions, for six or more set
ting hens at time. After the hatch
Ing season the owner would place the
broody hens in the same pen with sew
eral rabbits, as the presence and hop
ping about Of the rabbits would ultl-
mately break the hens of their broodi-
ness.
Rabbits Cost Little to Keep.
The remarkable thing about these
embarrassing operations was that
valuable food was produced from
weeds and waste, as practically the
only feed for the rabbits was grass
clippings, wild hay and weeds. Dur
Ing the young bearing season he
would feed the does a little skim
milk and a small amount Of oats, but
never more than one quart of oats
week. Tn the course of two years
he raised and ate about rs rabbits,
weighing an average of two pounds
apiece. All this meat was produced
as a by-prOduct Of his poultry opera
tons with small expense or trouble.
Another desirable point about the
rabbits was that they required little
care as compared with poultry. The
rabbits were fed at any time of the
day or night with satisfactory re-
suits.
1T is comparatively simple mat
ter to kill and dress two rabbits in
ten minutes" remarked the suburban
lite, "but l never was able to pick
and dress a single chicken in less than
double that period. My family did
not tire Of the rabbits, because as a
rule, we alternated the rabbit flesh
with chicken and other fresh meats.
The profits which realized from my
poultry and rabbit operations came
entirely from the Belgian hares, as my
White Plymouth Rocks only about
paid expenses, since / had to purchase
practically all my feed for them. How
ever, it is a great convenience for
suburbanite to have ON hand two
sources of fresh meat in addition
to a plentiful supply Of fresh eggs"

BEST RESULTS WITH SWINE

prepared by the United States Depart

Best results in hog growing are going
to be obtained by pushing the pig to
the greatest extent possible from the
time he is born until he is driven over
the scales. Never let the hog lose his
pig fat; keep 1t going forward all the
time. Proper feeding and care is the
only way this can be successfully ac-
cOmplished.

BIC POTATO YIELD
Western Canada Man Raised 600
Bushels on Two Acres.
Ne Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but
There Were Even Larger Crops
In the Neiahborhood-Live
Stock Nee Prosper.

As by.product the yield of potatoes
on the farm Of Ben Pawson of Coal
dale, Alberta, was somewhat Of a pay
ing proposition. Coaldale is In the
Medicine Hat district of Alberta. Med
icine Hat is a place, pictured in the
mind of many Americans, where the
weather man holds high carnival, and
when he wants to put little life or
spirit into the people just moves the
mercury down few notches. The
rascal has thus given Medicine Hat
rather unenviable place on the map.
But It isn't half as bad as II Is pic
tired Anyway, Ben Pawson likes II.
Last year he grew six hundred BUSH
els Of potatoes on two acres OF land
that had no special preparation, and
only the usual precipitation, or rain,
as the less cultured would call II.
When he couldn't work at his hay or
grain, because Of the damp mornings,
he gave them some attention. And
then evenings between supper and
chores and bedtime he gave them some
work. Anyway his yield was six hun
bred bushels, and he sold the whole
lot for $2S5. Ben is satisfied. Still
there were larger yields than this in
the neighborhood.
II one might speak of hogs in the
same breath in which you speak Of po-
tatoes, there is nothing in the ethics
of literature that would create a de-
barment. Taking advantage of this
license II will not be out of place to
state that large potato yields are not
the only feature Of interest in this
new and interesting country. Amongst
others hogs are having good deal of
attention. Not long ago, hogs reached
the $1,000 mark on the Calgary market.
1t doesn't cost much to raise a hog
and very little to bring him to weight
of 200 pounds. Don't cost much Ger
tainly not. But what about the man who
recently paid $3.50 for Duroc Jersey
Boar? That was all right. That man
knew what he was doing. He was do
ing what a great many other farmers
In Western Canada are doing today.
He is acting on the old "saw," that
cit costs no more to raise good crit
ter than q poor one" That is the rea-
son that Western Canada is looming
large in the live stock world. The best
IS none too good. The same may be
said of horses, cattle, yes, and sheep,
too. The very best sires and dams
Of the best breeds are purchased. And
while big prices are paid, it is felt that
the demand for pure-bred stock at
home and abroad will bring returns
which will warrant any reasonable
price that may be asked.-Advertise-

CHIGGERS HARMFUL
CHICKEN FLOCK
Young Fowls Are Most Liable to
Suffer From Parasites.
Mites Penetrate Skin, Causing Intense
Itching and Assesses Are Formed
Birds Become Droopy and
Refuse to Eat.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Chiggers, harvest mites, or "red
bugs" which so frequently annoy
campers by the intense itching they
produce, may also attack fowls. Young
chickens having free range, especial
ly If it includes low-lying land, are the
most liable to suffer from these para,
sites. The mites penetrate the skin,
causing an intense itching, and abcess-
es may be found where clusters of
mites are feeding. These abcesses are
sometimes third of an inch in diane
ter, surrounded by an area of inflam-
nation. The birds become droopy, re-
fuse to eat, and may die FROM hun
ger and exhaustion.
If an abscess has not yet formed the
infiamed area may be treated with sui
phur ointment or a mixture of 1 part
of kerosene oil with parts of lard. If
suppuratiOn has occurred the scab
should be removed and the area wash
ed with per cent carbolic-acid solu-
ton. Frequent light busting with
flowers of sulphur Will keep the chick
ems from becoming infested. In the
southern and central states, where
harvest mites are most numerous, it is
often necessary to keep young chick
ems Off the range in summer. In these
sections 1t is good plan to hatch the
chickens early in the spring, so that
when the warm weather comes in which
the mites are most abundant, the birds
will be old enough to resist their at
tacks.

HUN DYE TRADE
 BADLY INJURED
 BY GREAT WAR

Berlin, Sept. a0.-By The Associated Press.)-GermaH trade experts are pessiH7istic over the prospects of sell ing German dyes in foreign markets Part of this is due to the peace terms and part to realization of the fact that the Entente Allies learned how to produce dyes while making explo- siTes for the war.
 It is asserted that the industry has been further harmed by the confisca- uon, by France, of factories for dyes and chemicals, by the seizure, by America, of German patents and their distribution to Americans so that Germany would be guilty of breach of patent if it attempted to sell dyes in the United States again. In addition to which England and America are expected to erect customs barriers making German competition 1mpossi- fbIe.
 Fears are expressed that foreign countries will be able to push Ger many out of the market with mass production.
