FIX UP HENHOUSE IN WINTER
Poultryman Has Most Time at His
Disposal Then to Make Things
Convenient for Flock. /

Winter is the season when the poul-
try keeper has most time at his dis
posal to use his hammer, saw and
nails in behalf of his flock. Many con-
veniences for the henhouse require
only a little lumber and time for con-
Struction.
If new nests, feed troughs, drinking
fountains or dust boxes in the biddies'
domicile are needed, now is the time
to make them.
Perhaps the roosts need replacing.
United States department Of agri-
culture specialists recommend as a
satisfactory perch a 2 by 8 inch scant-
ling set edgewise with the upper edge
slightly rounded.
Allow Z to 10 inches of perch for
each fowl; that is, a perch 16 feet long
would furnish room enough for 20
fowls. A smooth platform should be
placed under the perches to catch the
droppings. The perches should be
from 6 to 10 inches above this plat
form so as to allow the droppings to
be removed without removing the
perches. 1t is usually desirable to
have the platform some distance from
the floor, from 2 to 21s feet, in order
that all the floor space may be avail
able.

from the inability of the root system
to supply an adequate quantity Of wa

quently this is the result of shallow
roofing, which in turn may follow
from too hard a subsoil, too shallow
blowing, a layer of dry soil at the
bottom of the furrow, concentration
of plantfood at the surface, and so

tIandrau announced in a quiet conf
dent voice. "The place is surrounded

He descended the steps, his face
like a stone wall for all the emotion it
recorded. At his heels came the older
man. Curly struck a match, found an
electric bulb above his head and
turned the button. Instantly the dark
ness was driven from the cellar.
The two Flandraus were quite alone
in the room. For furniture there was
a table, q cot which had been slept in
and not made up, and a couple Of
rough chairs. The place had no win
dows, no means of ventilation except
through the trap door. Yet there were
evidences to show that it had recently
been inhabited. Half-smoked cigars
Uttered the floor. A pack Of cards lay
in disorder IN the table. The Sentinel

in a corner.

Two animals not much spoken of
previously have gained prominence as
destructive rodents during the past
year, reports the chief of the btologi-
cal survey. One is the mountain
beaver or swellel, a curious rodent liv-
ing in the humid regions Of the north
west. coast. 1t was formerly consid-
cred harmless, but with the develop
ment of agriculture in its region it
has become increasingly injurious to
crops, particularly small fruits and
market produce.
Control Measures Devised.
Control measures have been devised,
and representatives of the depart
ment have given demonstrations in
Oregon and Washington, where active
measures were needed.
The other animal that has come into
prominence as a destroyer is the cot.

to the South AtlanNc and Gulf states
Its denredations are principally in con-
nection with sugar cane in Florida,
where experimental paintings within

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The principal control measures
against potato diseases are plant Sc
lection in the seed plot, tuber selection
in the bin, seed treatment, field spray
ing, and prevention through soil SAM
tation and modification of cultural
practices.
Plant selection in the seed plot aims
at the elimination from the growers
seed stock Of the progeny of all plants
that are weak or diseased from any
cause. Each year a sufficiently large
area is set aside for the growers own
seed production. 1t is planted with
the best stock obtainable, is properly
but not excessively fortified, and spe-
cial care is bestowed upon it. All OBJ
jectionable plants, with their tubers,
If any have formed, are removed from
time to time as the indications Of
weakness or disease appear. At dig
ging time further selection may be en-
ployed to remove the progeny of hills
having normal tops but giving unde-
sirable or unsatisfactory returns.
Seed plot selection is directed
against those tuber-borne diseases
which cannot be detected by inspec-
ton Of the seed stock, but at the same
time it is effective in such troubles
as black leg and wilt, and it is a very
efficient means of removing varietal
mixtures and the poor yielding, though
not necessarily diseased, hills. 1t can
not be depended upon to restore pro-
~ductivity quickly in stock containing
a high proportion Of degenerate or
run-out hills. A new start with Wig
o stock is the only practical course
In such cases.
Selection in Bin.
Tuber selection in the bin is best
carried out at the time of cutting. 1t
removes tubers showing decay, seri-
Gus mechanical injury and necrosis,
either external or internal, and is aim
ed primarily against the wilt diseases,
net necrosis, black leg. and other de.
cay-producing diseases from those con-
stitutional weaknesses frequently de.
veloping from the use of partially de.
cayed Or seriously injured seed. 1t is
not a satisfactory substitute for the
seed plot selection but supplements il
to good advantage.
Seed treatment is employed to de
stroy C) the sclerotia Of Rhizoctonia
or black scurf, (2) the scab-producing
organism present in common scab
spots, and (3) surface infection with
the black leg organisms which may
have resulted from contact with tu-
bers decaying from this cause. 1t is
also of value in destroying the germs
Of some other minor diseases on the
surface Of seed potatoes. Seed treat

types of infection within the tuber

RIGHT CARE OF DAIRY cow
Animal Cannot Continue Normal Pro-
duction If She Is Exposed to
Severe Weather.

The high-producing dairy animal is
a delicate and well-balanced piece of
machinery, and consequently she can
not continue normal production if she
is exposed to severe winter weather.
1t is, therefore, essential that the dis
comforts incident to cold weather be
eliminated, if possible. The comfort
able COW will repay In milk the nee
essary labor for her protection. Dairy
men as a rule are more careful with
their cows than the average farmer
who merely produces the milk for
family use.

GOOD FERTILITY is WASTED
Burning Straw Stack, stubbIe or

Burning straw stacks, stubble, or
corn stalks, will destroy only a few
insects at best and will destroy much
valuable fertility. Now that 1t is
possible to spread straw on fields eco
nomically with a straw spreader there
is really less excuse than ever for
burning straw stacks.
