Building a Small Henhouse

In building a poultry house, new lumber will of course make the best appearing structure and will also be somewhat easier to work up because it can be bought in lengths most ad- vantageous for the purpose. Houses for a few hens can sometimes be constructed from packing boxes, while used material or secondhand lumber, if it can be purchased cheap ly and is close at hand, will some times lower the cost of the house ma terially.
 Occasionally, also, where a high board fence is available, the house can be built in the corner of the fence, thus saving the construction of the back and one side of the house. Care must be used to cover of batten the cracks, either by means of strips or by the use of roofing paper. Construct the building so that the front of your henhouse will admit the sunlight.
 Send to the Division of Publica- tions, United States Department of Agriculture, for bulletins containing plans and illustrations; Farmers Bulletin 889 is a good one to have on hand.

Guinea Fowls Convert
 Waste Into Eggs and Meat

Guinea fowls utilize waste that would escape both hens and turkeys, say poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Taking a wider range than chickens and yet not so wide as turkeys, keep ing largely to thickets and weed pitches, and committing fewer depre- dations against field and garden than either chickens or turkeys, requiring little feed at any time, being gro life layers during their season of eggs, that are thought by many to have a richer and finer flavor even than hens eggs, the guinea fowl is we'll worth considering on any farm where a serious effort is made to con- vert all waste into meat and eggs.

Peas a Nationwide Crop,
 But Local Methods Vary

but Local Methods Vary
 Peas, sometimes spoken of as Eng fish peas, are adapted for growing from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada and from Maine to California, with the exception of few local sections where they do not thrive. Peas re- quire too much space for growing ex- tensively in the small garden, say specialists of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, but are es- pecially adapted to the farm garden. Garden peas are one of the first crops that can be planted in the spring, in fact, the seed can be put in the ground just as early as the soil will do to work.
 In Florida and certain of the gulf coast regions the seed is planted in the fall and the peas gathered dur ing the first days of spring. Farther north the seed is planted in Febru- ary and March and the peas ready for use in May and June. Going still farther into New England and the northwest they are planted in April and ready for use in July or August, all dependent, however, upon the locality. In the southern district, where the ground rarely ever freezes, the seeds are planted about F inches deep, but farther form heavy crust over the ground, the seed should be covered three to four inches in light sandy soils but not quite so deep in the heavier or clay soils. Peas will grow on most any good garden soil and require only a moderate amount of fertilizer.
 Alaska or Earliest of All is con- sidered one of the best of the early varities and easy to grow. One pint of seed of the Alaska will plant about 100 feet of row, and while it is desirable to have brush or wire netting forthem to climb on, they may be grown without any support Gradus, Thomas Laxton, American Wonder, Sutton's Excel sior and Laxtonian are among the best early peas. Telephone and Nam sugar are among the best late sorts. All of the later va rieties need trellis or brush to climb upon.

In instances where permits are secured to fire ' rubbish piles, the fire department l had a record of such fires and keeps in touch with such blazes to see that no damage results.
 Many complaints of violations oA this ordinance have been received by the department within the past few l weeks Inspector Paddock said, 'so we have deciGed upon a policy of rigid enforcement of the ordinance"

FAITHFUL OvERCOAT
 FOLLOWED HIM HOME

When Sheriff John Montgomery early in July left for Oregon to bring back prisoner to Phoenix, he in- tended to take his overcoat with him on the entire trip. but circumstances made this impossible and instead the overcoat followed him in his travels and yesterday caught up with him. According to the sheriff. he handed the overcoat to a bellboy in the St. Francis hotel at San Francisco and it was lost.
 The sheriff left San Francisco. got his prisoner and returned to Phoenix without the coat, although he stopped at the St. Francis on the way back. Yesterday the mail man brought him the coat, and from the forwarding ad- dresses on the box the coat had fol- lowed him to Portland, Ore, from there to Vancouver, Wash, back to Portland again, from there to San Francisco and finally to Phoenix.
 Uncle Sam certainly kept track of me on my trip. the sheriff said after receiving the coat

ID BUILD 15 MILES
 MORE IF ROAD WITH
 FIRST BOND MONEY

But 15 more miles of paved high way are to be constructed by Twohy Brothers to complete that part of the highway program to be built under the first bond issue, so that the com mission is looking to the continuation of the work under the issue of last December.
 Accordingly Chairman A. F. Jones Of the county highway commission has addressed the following letter to the board of supervisors:
 Gentlemen:
 Referring to our conversation with your board this morning as to the time of the sale of the S4,500,00 highway improvement bonds voted to complete the present program, want to urge upon your honorable body the necessity of availing yourselves Of the verbal opinion as expressed to you in my presence by your attor- ney, Mir. Christy, that under your agreement with the bond buyers you were not under obligation to defer the advertising of bonds until the 9th of November, but could advertise now and offer for sale, or rather open bids on Nov. 6, or any time thereafter. This, in my opinion, is a happy solu- tion of at least 30 days of the ex- pensive delay forced upon our coun- tvs operations by the tying up of the first bond issue-provided, of course. Mr. Christy can confirm that opinioo since he has had an opportunity ot looking into it thoroughly.
 would not feel worthy of the responsibility you have imposed upon me if I failed to urge tht making of these funds available at such time as would make it possible for us to con tinue operations at the least expense to Maricopa county.
 At the present time we are cutting down our forces and are only keep | ing an organization large enough tc run two paving machines The en- gineering and field forces could just as well put in some time in getting | the preliminary work in readiness foi the second bidding, and this we vii do as soon as we can have some def mite instructions from you as to wher bids will be opened on these bonds l We also feel that we are in lint with the emergency unemployment conference in Washington, who are a 1 this time urging the increasing O public construction and road building Assuring you that we in no way de sire to dictate your policy in this mat 1 ter, but only to fully cooperate witt you so as to make 1t easy to perform our duty to the county. for which vol | appointed us, and to do it in the mos l business like and economical manner
 Respectfully,
 A. F. JONES.
