boarded now than the people gen
orally believe. If this money were
released it would provide a hand
some fund for the financing of
building operations and furnish no
ItrtIe relief from the present short
age.
Little can be expected in the
way Of relief until there is a frcer
fIOw Of money for investment pur-
poses. Congress undoubtedly will
give consideration to the housing
problems at the next session. but
that vet is Il few months of, and
in the meantime the shortage be-
comes more acute. What form OF
relief Congress will provide is hard
to say at this time.
Governmental relief is a problem
which will have to be givon a great

guard must be put around II to in
sure that the relief will do the
greatest amount OF good and over

NO CURE FOR FOWL CHOLERA
Afflicted Birds Should Be Killed by
DisIocating Necks and Car

Poultry experts at Iowa State col
Iege are warning poultry keepers
against fowl cholera which is a very
contagious disease of hens often prov
ing fatal without any previous indica-
lions of trouble. Indications include
a slow movement of the animal, a
tendency to crouch and ruffle the
feathers, and yellow or bright green
stools. Examination Of the dead bird

tines.
1t is useless to treat sick birds. All
that show symptoms should be killed
by dislocating their necks. Burn the

feet deep all dead birds and all ex-

FENCES USED FOR CHICKENS
Cost OF Equipment, Labor and Main-
tenance Is Increased Where
Yards Are Divided

Fences dividing the land used for
poultry into yards increase the cost Of
equipment, labor and maintenance.
There should be as few fences as pos
sible, as land can be cultivated and
kept sweet more easily If not fenced
The value, too. OF fresh, sweet land
for poultry can hardly be overestimat-
ed. A grass sward can be maintained

birds in small yards require fences five
TO six feet high, while a fence six to
seven feet high is necessary for Leg
horns, say poultry specialists Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The upper two feet Of the fence
for the latter may be inclined inward
at an angle Of 80 degrees, or a strand
or two of barbed wire may be used on
top Of the regular wire to help keep
them confined, while it is sometimes
necessary to clip the flight feathers of
one wing of those birds that persist In
getting out. 1t is not advisable to use
a board or strip along the top Of the
fence, as hens will often fly over one
so constructed.
Posts may be set or driven into the
ground. They should be set eight to
ten feet apart for common poultry net
ting, or 16 TO 20 feet for woven wire.
Corner posts should be about eight
inches in diameter and be set four feet
in the ground, while intervening posts
may be four or five inches in diameter
and set three feet in the ground. Much
