MAXOTIRES

Two months ago the Ernst Hard

Washington and oregon on the Max
otire. an ipner tire which is inserted
In the casing. ana which gives from
$500 to 5000 extra miles on tho
life OF an old tire.
A carload shipment has been or
derod since that time, and today an
other carload arrived TN Seattle, TO
meet the tremendous demand that
has been created by the performance
of the Maxotire.
Many examples OF the worth OF
this inner tire have been brought TO
the attention OF the Ernst company
since they took the agency, and they
arc now exhibiting IN their window

Make Coop of Cheap Material
The detention coop for the hen
may be made OF waste lumber or dry
goods boxes. 1t should provide plen-
ty of ventilation and should be built
over a removable floor which should
fit tightly under the sides of the
coop, so as to keep it tight and dry.
This floor facilitates the efficient
and easy cleaning of the coop. The
practical coop which is presented in
the accompanying picture has door
which slides in back of the Slated
front when it is desired to close the
coop, while it is pushed back of the
closed part of the front when the coop
is opened. Holes in both ends of the
coop, which are also covered with
wire, supply additional ventilation.
The middle Stat in the door is readi-
ly removable, sliding into a square
wire staple at the top and dropping
into half joint at the bottom. The
Stats are made of strips one inch
square For ventilation purposes, eX-
ceDt when the weather is cold or dur
ing cold nights, the long, narrow door
at the front of the coop is kept open.
This coop is 80 inches longs 26 IL
inches high at the front, and IS
inches at the rear. The floor is re-
movable, and in every respect this
coop, which is little more elabor-
tie, perhaps. than the hen shelters
for the confinement of the hens until
the chicks are old enough to go to
distant parts of the range under the
ph9NerOn1 Of their mother.

Coop the Mother Hen; Let Chicks Range

Release from the nest means free
dom and liberty to the mother hen,
and she is likely to take her young
brood far afield on a grasshopper
Of insect hunt. Often the grass is
wet and the showerbath which the
youngsters receive in jOurneying
through the grass is likely to chill
them so that they get sick and die,
especially in the case of the weaker
chicks. Hence, it is necessary to coop
the hen in order to prevent her from
taking such hikes with her flocks.
Any style of coop which provides
plenty of space, dry, ventilated quar-
ters and which affords protection
against rats and other vermin in ad
dition to facilities for closing the
house at night, is satisfactory. The
old-fashioned A-shaped coop, with
wooden floor and Slated sides, is a
pioneering model which is common
place amongst farm poultry equip
ment. The box type of coop, shown
in the above illustration, has also
stood the test of time, and is to be
found on farms the country over. In
all these coops it is essential to pro-
vide facilities so the chicks can
leave and enter as they desire. In
some instances small sheltered yard
is used as a supplement to the coop
proper, so that the hen may turn
about and get little exercise. The
fence around this yard should be
high enough SO that the chicks can
as to cut off exit for the hen, by
using a coop of this description the
chicks can find shelter and warmth
under the hen at anV time while the
