WHEN we advertised the fact that Fire
stone was furnishing us complete lines of
Firestone Cum-Dipped Tires that not only
met the price but beat the quality and con-
struction of every grade of special brand
tires sold by mail order houses and others,
the mail order houses made vigorous pro-
tests to Better Business Bureaus and made
demands upon newspapers not to accept
Firessone or our advertising.
We cannot blame them for they did not
want car owners to know that they could get,
at no more cost, better tire made by lead

When car owners awakened to this fact,
they came to us, compared the sections we

Pays to Raise BroilerS
for Special Marketing

Special broiler raising is the latest
development in the poultry business.
1t came mainly as result Of the dis
covery that chickens can be raised on
a quantity basis with special equip
ment and special feeding. Both bat
terry breeders and continuous hot wa
ter brooding systems are employed in
raising broilers, as are also the colony
breeders.
The broiler raiser is not interested
in breeding. He buys his baby chicks
from a breeder or hatcheryman and
when the birds have reached one and
a quarter pounds or two-pound size,
he markets the pullets and cockerels
alike. In most cases the brOiler raiser
has a special market which he has de-
veloped Most of them sell their brOI-
ers dressed to special trade.
There are a few things anybody who
contemplates going into the poultry
business should always keep in mind,
and they can be summed up in the
following sentence. Start moderately,
work hard, and be sure Of a good mar
ket.

VENTILATE TO GET
COMFORT FOR HENS
Simple Methods of Admit
ting Fresh Air.

Hens enjoy summer breeZes but the
cold, raw winds chill poultry as they
do persons. Yet the poltryman wfs
tries to make his hens comfortable by
closing windows in the poultry house
only adds to his and their troubles, for
he sooner or later gets wet pen, says
Prof. F. L. Fairbanks of the New York
State College of Agriculture.
Ventilation should provide air con-
ditions in the laying house which viii
be comfortable and healthful. IL may
not be possible to measure a hens
comfort, but all good poultrymen do
know when their flocks are contented,
he says. In most poultry houses it is
possible, without expert labor, TO i'm
prove air conditions cheaply.
Most tops of windows or other open
ings are from one to two feet below the
highest point in the ceiling. An open
ing at the highest point approximately
one square foot for each 100 hens
seems enough to relieve the moisture
conditions. The air intakes should be
near the floor, for then the air has the
greatest distance to travel before il
reaches the opening and more chance
to mix with the air in the pen and
absorb and remove moisture given OF
by the birds. The bottom openings
should be baffled TO prevent drafts.
Systems of this type with the exit
at the highest point in the house, and
with baffled openings near the floor,
have been in use for several years and
are giving satisfaction, Professor Fair
banks says.

Poultry House Floor

A cheap and very satisfactory type
of poultry house floor can be made
by building the poultry house in the
usual way with the ccocrete founda-
ton walls extending up about II
inches above the ground surface. Then
lamp in firmly a layer of clayey soil,
then oil this thoroughly with used
crank case oil then lamp in another
layer of loose soil and again oil thor
oughly, and continue this until the
floor is at the desired height.
This should then be covered with a
thin layer of gravel well tamped in,
and in this shape is warm and dry,
and has a firm enough crust so that
the fowls will not scratch holes in it
Later it can be covered with concrete,
the oiled earth insuring warmth and
dryness.-Wisconsin Agriculturist.
