POULTRY RA|SERS
MADE BIG MONEY
THE PAST SEASON
From Bent County Democrat. La.


From Bent County Democrat, Las
Animas.
While We are talking live stock and
agriculture as our principal indus
tries. let us not overlook the poultry
business in this county. which is COM
ing to be ono of our best assets. our
produce men state that an unusually
large number of turkeys were mar
keted this year. especially during the
Christmas period. and thousands of
dollars were paid out to the raisers. J.
n. Stout was the largest individual
turkey raiser. he having delivered los
birds to the jackson Produce company
which brought him s529.40. Another
farmer from tho south side brought
in "A load of corn and threw turkeys
on top OF the load which he sold at the
poultry house. He stated that his five
turkeys brought him a larger check
than his entire load of corn. Several
poultry deliveries were made which
brought tho owners from 800 to $3.50
this year. The south side farmers have
taken to the poultry game pretty
strong and are making good at 1t. The
lack OF shade is the greatest handicap
to turkey raising on tho dry lands,
according to ]. NJ. jackson. who states
that these birds need plenty OF shade
while maturing. The coyotes also play
havoc with them II they get an oppor-
tinity. He suggests that sheds could
be built to provide shade and that they
would be n good investment. Poultry
on the ranch will forage their own liv-
Ing until winter and can be made
ready for market with but little feed

INCREASING EFFICIENCY OF
CHIkNEYS and FIREPLACES

The fireplace is the heart of the
home-and yet, how many smoky
fireplaces there are, driving their dis
gusted possessors to less picturesque
but more efficient ways of keeping
warm! The smoking fireplace and the
unsatisfactory operations of other
heating arrangements are often due
to poorly constructed chimney. the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture points out in new Farmers
Bulletin. No. 1890, Chimneys and
Fireplaces, How to Build Them, by
A. NJ. Daniels of the Bureau of Public
Roads. The common faults in CHM
ney construction are discussed in de-
tail. and exact directions are given
for building chimneys of suitable di-
mensions and materials. The correct
location and size of flues are indicat-
cd, and other information is presented
In clear form.
Good draft in the chimney is neces-
sary to efficient operation. Atten-
ton is especially drawn to the fact
that a chimney must extend about 2
feet above the ridge of the house IL 1t
is to have a good draft. All chimneys
should rest on masonry foundations
in the ground. The shape and size
of the flue is very important. Round
flues are to be preferred, but rec
tangular ones are usual. A table is
given. showing the proper relative
diameter of the smoke pipe, flue, and
the height of the chimney.
The problem of the smoky fire
place is also dwe1t upon from the
standpoint of fireplace construction.
The need for throat equal in area
to the area of the flue is explained,
and emphasis is laid on the import
ance of smoke shelf about inches
above the throat of the fireplace.
An entirely new application OF a
simple heating principle in connection
with fireplaces was patented by
Joseph Parsons. Of Lakeville, Conn.
and the patent afterwards assigned
by him to the United States Govern
