Every consumer who has sufficient
back yard space may reduce the high
cost of living to a certain extent by
maintaining a small flock of poultry,
says the United States Department
Of Agriculture. The product of such
a flock, both in the form Of eggs and
fowl for the table, may be obtained
at low cost because of the use Of
table scraps and kitchen waste.
Ordinarily one of the general
purpose breeds, such as the Plymouth
purpose breeds, such as the Ply
mouth Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode Is
land Red, or Orpington, is preferable
to the smaller egg breeds, as the
former fowl, on account Of their
larger size, make better table poultry
while the young chickens, for the
same reason are better adapted as
fryers and roasters. However, if the
consumer desires eggs only, one of
the lighter egg breeds, such as the
White Leghorn, will be the fest for
him to maintain. No matter what
breed is selected, it is advisable to
keep poultry only of some pure breed
or variety.
NUMBER DEPENDS ON SPACE
The size of the flock depends upon
the space available and the quantity
of table scraps suitable for feed. Do
not overstock and do not overcrowd
the yard. Fowls do best where they
have plenty of room and sufficient
fod. For a flock of 20 to 25 hens,
a yard space of not less than rs by
80 feet should be provided, as 20 to
80 square feet Of ward space should
be provided for each bird.
1t is advisable for city poultry
keepers to procure well-matured pull
let's in the fall, so that they will be-
gin to lay before cold weather sets
in. An inexpensive, commodious,
and comfortable house should
be provided, with 8 to 4 square feet
Of floor space to the bird, although
some poultrymen report good results
where the advance is only 2h to 3
square feet. Often an unused shed
or small building in the back yard
can be easily converted into a chick
en- house. Satisfactory shelters can
be made from piano boxes or packing
cases by purchasing a small quantity
of 2 by 4 or 2 by 8 lumber for franz
ing. The box boards can be used for
siding or sheathing, and then can be
covered with roofing paper. Where
there is a board fence it is sometimes
possible to utilize it by building the

placed on the side walls. All parti-
lions should be solid to the top of
the nests, but it is advisable to use
wire netting above the nests for ven
tilation.
Some breeders use nest pans made
of wood, wood fiber, or eafthenware
from 3 to 4 inches deep and 8 to
10 inches in diameter, which may be
secured to a board slightly larger
than the nest pan or set directly in
the nest box, if it is of heavy ma
terial. Some breeders claim that
earthen nests are too cold in winter.
Some do without pans by putting a
3-inch striu on the front of the nest
to retain the nesting material. Short
pieces of hay, straw, pine needles,
and tobacco stems are used for nest
ing material. This is kept in an
open crate OF in a corner of the house
where pigeons select and build their
own nests.
Roosts of various sizes, usually ar
ranged in perpendicular rows, are
placed at convenient points in the
pen. A good type of roost is A shap-
ed, made of two boards about 5
inches wide and 6 OF 7 inches long,
placed directly oyer each other SO
that the pigeons will not soil ane an
other with their droppings. If hop
pers or feed troughs are used they
should be of good size, while the
hoppers should be constructed so
that the pigeons can not waste the
grain easily by throwing it onto the
floor. Fountains or pans with floats
in which the pigeons can not battle
are best adapted for drinking YES
sells, while a galvanized-iron pan
from 8 to 4 inches deep and Is to
20 inches in diameter makes a good
bath pan.

HENS IN YER BACK YARD
HELP TO REDUCE LIVING COST
Maintaining a Family Flock of Fowl Enables the Con-
sum to Produce Plenty of Eggs and Meat from
Table Refuse and a Little Supplementary
Grain at Saving


poultry house in the corner of the
fence.
Nests should be simple and may be
made out of boxes about IL inches
square and 5 to 6 inches deep. An
ordinary orange box with a partition
in the middle is suitable for this pur-
pose, each box providing two nests,
the top being removed, the box laid
on it side and a strip 3 or A inches
wide nailed across the lower front.
Ordinarily a 5 foot fence of poultry
wire is adequate, unless cats are
bothersome, when occasionally it is
necessary to cover the top of the
yard, also, with wire. If mems show
a tendency to fly over the fence
which has no top, the fight feathers
of one wing should be clipped.
KEEPING FEEDING COST LOW
The city flock should be fed as
cheaply as is possible and consist
ent with the steady flow of eggs. All
table scraps, kitchen waste, left
over vegetables, beet tops, turnip
tops, carrot tops, potato Feelings,
onion tops, watermelon and canta-
loupe rinds, cabbage leaves, lettuce
leaves, bread and cake crumbs, and
meat scraps are keenly relished by
the hens production. Usually it is
necessary to provide som supple
mentary grain for the use of the
back yard flock during the winter, al
though some owners do well without
purchasing any grain at all. This,
of course, depends largely on the
amount and variety of table wastes
available.
Often it is inadvisable to attempt
to renew the city poultry flock by
Matching and rearing chicks or by
buyign and rearing day-old chicks.
Previous experience in the raising of
chickens usually increases the chanc-
es of success. The land available is
usually small in area and no attempt
should be made to raise chicks unless
a plot of ground al be provided sep
arate from that to which the hens
have access and upon which there is
grass or where a supply of green feed
can be furnished. Under average
conditions, where the yardage is linn
tied, it is preferable to Gull the hens
as soon as they have outlined thoi>
usefulness and to replace them by
well-matured pullets in the fall.
Thus the keeping of roosterless
and c~hickenless locks can be sue
cessfully carried on and the ultimate
purpose of all such 1ocks satisfied
the reduction of living costs.

FIXTURES
OF PIGEON HOLES

Interior fixtures of pigeon houses
should be as simple as possible and
should be provided for each pair of
pigeons, and there should be some
extra nests. The nest boxes are
usually made abou, IL inches square,
yet some breeders prefer this width
and height with a depth of Is to
Is inches. Egg or orange crates may
be used for nests, but they are diff
cult to- keep clean and less desirable
than nests made with 1 inch boards.
A good method of construction is to
use lumber IL inches wide for the
floor so that it will slide on cleats
and can be easily removed and
cleaned. The nests I usually built
in tiers against the rear wall of the
pen, extending from the floor to Z or
8 feet high, but they may also be
