POULTRY
BUILDINGS MUST
BE COMFORTABLE

A poultry house which Is dry. light,
clean and free from drafts or sudden
changes OF temperature Is essential
for success with poultry. Hens must
be comfortable II they are to be good
producers.
II is not always the SNOWY house
that produces the best results. Con-
servatively built houses that provide
comfortable quarters are often as
good from a practical standpoint as
more expensive houses. In fact, at
the present time, the small house
which can be moved from place to
place Is rapidly gaining In popularity
on account OF the benefits derived
from moving the chickens to fresh
ground In order TO avoid diseases by
germs that may be lurking In soil
long occupied by poultry.
Poultry investigators agree that
lack OF vitality which has resulted In
loss of birds when shipped is the in
direct result of increased size OF our
ilocks without corresponding In
crease In housing facilities This is
another reason for added attention to
poultry buildings.
From the standpoint OF satisfactory
returns poultry pays as well as any
other class OF live stock and no other
live stock. unless It is the dairy stock.
responds so readily to good housing
conditions as does poultry Good To-
cations are essential in order TO make
good houses give results.
Poultry houses should be located
conveniently to the other farm build
ings and so that the chickens will
range toward the house If possible
the ground should slope toward the
south and face In that direction In or
der TO give the birds the maximum
amount OF sunshine on short winter
days. The house should be protected
with a windbreak. II no natural
wlndbreak Is available some trees or
shrubs should be planted to AFFORD
shelter.
good many OF the experiment sta i
lions have excellent bulletins In poul-
try-house construction. This is a
good time OF the year to build house

Substitutes for Milk

There are several Of the so-called
milk substitutes on the market which
are sold under various trade names.
Good ones can also be mixed at home.
One Of the best home-mixed calf
meals is the one known as the Purdue
mixture. Il consists Of equal parts
OF hominy feed. linseed meal. red dog
-four, and dried blood. This meal is
mixed in the proportion Of one part
Of the meal to seven parts OF warm
water and fed to the chicken flock in
the form Of a slop.

Prepared Calf Meal

There are well-prepared calf meals
on the market. which many prefer.
Feeding directions usually accom-
pany these products. which II IS well
to follow as they have been carefully
worked out and are based upon prac-
ticaI experience. II IS also important
to see that the manger or feed box IN
which the grain Is fed Is kept scrupu-
lousy clean and sweet. Spoiled feed
in the feed box Is not only apt 10 re-
suit in scours. but is certaln to throw
the calf on feed.

Sometimes 1t is advisable to feed a
moist mash to the hens. Take the
same mash that Is ordinarily fed to
the hens dry. and moisten It with but

NO SHORTAGE
EVER LIKELY
Still Plenty of Water in
Canal 80 Weed Cut
Off Next Monday

The irrigation season is rapidly
drawing to a close for 1926. The
highlands pumping plant closed
down at z am. this morning. The
fact that nearly all the Highlands
district is in orchard with heavy
soil very retentive of moisture.
permits them to stop irrigation
earlier than the lower valley can
afford to do. Then their power bill
of $160 day is a powerful incen-
tive to shut down at the earliest
possible date, says w. C. Muldrow.
The date of closing the main
canal for the season cannot be set
at this time. AS usual, this must
be lett to be determined by the
weather in October. 1t is the policy
to run as long as the water is
really needed by the users, the
closing date has varied in the past
five years from October 4th to the
23rd. The bad feature of running
too late is the seepage damage
that comes from the waste. and
that damages your neigh
Dor, in an irrigated district, dam
ages you; for if he can't pay his
share of the water cost, you have
to make up the difference. So
please take care of the water
there is plenty of it, but it hurts
the district to waste it. And it
saves money to get through and
let us shut down as soon as pos
sible.

EAT PLENTY
OF LAMB
BY Hannah Wing

A PPARENTLY there is a p1enti
"A full supply of lambs this
year and the price of this excel
lent meat will be so much
cheaper that many housewives
can afford the luxury of lamb on
the menu.
One usually has to regard lamb
with a certain amount of sus-
picion lest it be so fully grown
and mature that it is really mutt
ton. The gristle formation and
pinl1ish tinge of the knuckles as
well as the color of the meat
has been the one test most com
monty used to distinguish be-
tween lamb and mutton.
Size has been another factor,
but this year Government meat
inspectors find that lambs are
unusually large and heavy, due
perhaps to the introduction of
new breeds as well as a favorable
season.
The housewife then need not
be afraid she is getting mutton
as legs will often weigh from
six to eight pounds although
from lambs not yet one year. If
this size is too large, the pur-
chaser may have several pieces
sliced from the top to be cooked
as outlets or chops. When the
remainder of the leg is roasted
the cut surfaces will be sealed to
retain the juices by quick soaring
in the oven.
A shoulder OF lamb is tender
and delicious If properly cooked,
To facilitate carving it should
be boned and rolled or at least
have the shoulder blade removed.
The butcher will do this at the
market Many people like to
stuff the cavity with bread
crumb or spinach stuffing.
Chops cut from the neck NAV
be scared and cooked in the oven
and will be found .palatabIe and
tender. In Turkish and Armenian
restaurants lean meat from the
neck and shoulder of lamb is cut
in blocks about an inch and a
half square and run on meat
skewers. These skeWers of meat
which are known as "kebab" are
seasoned and broiled or fried
like chops.
