Bulletin Has Backyard
Egg-Making in Nutshell

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agrfculture.)
A small flock of hens instead Of a
large garbage can means a sizeab!e
balance on the side of thrift. In a
that Is the essence contained
IN the 20 pages Of Farmers Bulletin
1881, Backyard Poultry Keeping; just
issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. 1t is a revision
of a former bulletin and contains
many new suggestions and convenien-
ces that will be useful to flock owners
in villages, small towns and suburbs.
Various uses are now made Of the
table waste collected from homes In
towns and suburbs, but practically the
only use that may be made Of 1t on
the premises Is as feed for chickens,
and this use, according to the bulletin,
can be made very profitable If the
birds are given good housing and care.
1t is assumed that each hen in her pull
let year will produce at least ten dozen
eggs, reasonable requirement Of only
one egg every three days. The size of
below ten hens. Ten birds laying eggs
at the specified rate will produce 100
dozen in year, which at the conserv-
alive price of 40 cents dozen will
make the flock income $40 year.
The bulletin is really handbook
designed to answer any question that
may come up in the mind of the owner
of small flock. 1t covers such sub
jects as the kind Of fowls to keep, the
size of the flock, procuring stock, hous-
ing, arrangement and sanitation Of
yards, feeding, lice and mites, Matching
and raising chicks, culling the hens,
preserving eggs, and practical point
ers.
Plans and bills Of materials are
given for making houses of low cost
and houses that will fit various con-
ditions. Details are given on interior
equipment such as roosts, dropping
boards, nest boxes and coops for
broody hens. Il Is suggested, for in
stance, that an orange box can be
made into two good nests simply by
mailing a narrow strip of board along
one side to hold in the straw. The
advantages Of a double yard are dis.
cussed, and one paragraph tells Of the
value of a mulberry tree in supplying
succulent feed for three weeks. There
is description Of an interesting de.
vice for providing fresh green feed
by growing oats through %-inch mesh
poultry wire stretched on frame 6
short distance from the ground to keeI
the hens from killing out the plants.
Copies Of the bulletin may be OBJ
tanned. as long as the supply lasts, by

ment Of Agriculture, Washington, D. G

Starting an automobile is an art.

Whitewash for Chicken
House Easily Prepared

A whitewash that disinfects, kills
mites and brlghtens the poultry house
is made as follows: Stake five quarts
of rock lime with hot water to about
the consistency Of cream. To this add
one pint of crude carbolic acid or zeno-
leum, and one quart Of kerosene. Stir
thoroughly and dilute with twice its
either spray pump or whitewash
brush. When properly prepared, this
solution serves three purposes: the
zenoleum acts as a dislnfectant, killing
the germs the kerosene penetrates the
wood, destroying the mites and the
lime whltens the walls, making the
building sweet and light.

ALUMINIUM PIST0NS ON CARS
Makers Claim Lightweight Causes
Less Vibration and Less Wear
on BEARINGS

Many Of the lighter weight cars en-
ploy aluminium pistons, the makers
claiming that the lighter-weight piston
causes less vibration and consequently
less friction and wear on bearings and
wristpins. Owing to the fact that the
piston Of this metal expands more
than the castiron piston, the former
must be fitted less tightly in the cyl
inder than the latter.
