SIMPLE HOUSE FOR POULTRY
Warmth Will Always Be Prime Fac
tor In Egg Production Benefit
of Plastered Walls.
Tho simplest poultry house Is the
best. Better results have been ob
tained by using the old and well
known plan of having a house eight
feet in front and six feet in the roar,
ten or twelve feet square, with a win
dow on tho south side, than from any
other, and such a houso costs but lit
tle, holding a Hock of from a dozen
to twenty fowls. Tho poultry house;
for a cold climate may be plastered,

tor in egg production In winter, and
.,. ,.- .n ,ni h of i..
the nlastered walls will be of im
menso ndvantage In preventing lice
from hiding In summer. One of ( tho
points to observe is that a good shed
Is better In summer than a close
house and will cost but little. It must
bo tight at the back and sides, as
drafts of air, even in warm seasons,
will do damage. Fowls can enduro
cold weather or stand tho warmest
dayB in summer, but will not thrlvo
where drafts of air come on them nt
night. Tho cost of a poultry house
is tho matter that causes tho begin
ner to 'consider. It is not necessary
to bother about ventilators and other
appliances. Make tho house as slm
plo in design as possible, and the
cost w,Ill be a minimum and the fowl3
comfortable. Get a hardy breed,
leave the doors and windows open at
night, clean frequently, so as to. pro
vent foul odors, use plenty of white
wash, and tho fowls will not bo un
thrifty in a cheap house.
ATTENTION TO LATE HATCHES
Must Have Proper Feeding and Care
to Mature Before Cold Weather
Give Birds Free Range.
What Is demanded by tho lato
hatched stock of all kinds is tho prop
el feeding and caro to mature It before
cold weather arrives. That, nil of tho
birds will mature Is out of the ques
tion If they are compelled to shift al
together for themselves on the range.
They wlU grow somo, H Is true, but
they will not grow as rapidly as they
should If they aro to reach maturity
before winter appears. To Induce a
rapid growth, the young birds require
good feeding and housing at all times,
This does not mean that the late
hatched pullets should be penned up
and fea all the food they will consume.
Ratner they should be encouraged to
foruge every day when tho weather
permits, so that they may derive tho
exercise necessary to keep them in
good physical condition. But In con
nection with what fobd thoy can pick
up on the rango at this time regular
feeding morning, noon and night
should bn practiced.
WHITE CHINA GEESE PLEASE
Boom Predicted for Breed Like Pekln
Ducks Had Several Years Ago
Ftathers Are Abundant,
Many persons believe that White
China geese are going to have a boom
like Pekln ducks had somo twenty
flvo years ago.
Their feathers aro very abundant,
of swan'fl-down texture; snow-white,
with flexible quills. People who pick
the live geese report tho yearly yield
of one pound and over.
This originated In China, where for
centuries thoy have bqen bred to lay.
Thoy begin to lay at six months old.
They nro good breeders at ono year
old, they mature so early.
Developing Stamina.
With variable weather, sudden
changes from heat to cold, chilly morn
ings, etc., it takes a chicken with some
stamina to develop intp a good winter
layer. The way to develop stamina
Ib to feed for It, and provide comfort
ubk sleeping and feeding quarters.
A Pair of Fine Birds. k v --. ' J " , ,
the same family, and no breeder Bhould
go into the business unless ho is will
iirg to start with tho standard bred
stock.
Tho highly bred torn turkey will
bring from $10 to $50, sind $100 to $300
Is not an uncommon prlco for a trio of
a torn and two hens. But tho off
spring of these high-class birds always
bring fancy prices, and the original
cost, therefore, should not bo seriously
considered if one Is to attempt breed
ing as a business.
GARBAGE NOT GOOD FOR HENS
Anything Average Restaurant Cannot
Use Is Questionable Food for
Fowls or Swine.
(By M. K. BOYEP..)
A poultry book recommends that
those living near hotels should ur-
rango for the garbage, stating that in
it there is such a variety of food that
It will bo of untold value to hens, i
Tho fact Is that anything tho ayor-
ago restaurant will rcfuso to Jumble
up for their customers Is questionable
food for either fowls or hogs.
In tho summer this refuse, when re
moved once a day, Is unspeakably foul,
and the one who removes or handles It
needs the, nose of a scavengor.
Fermented and decaying refuse from
such places is dangerous, oven to
handle. In this "garbage" Is often
found pickles, sour cabbage, tal.nted
meat nnd othor stuffs oven Including
coffee grounds fit only for the ma
nure pile.
We cannot be too careful about what
wo feed out to stock. Fowls should
have perfectly sound food or they will
not enjoy perfectly sound health.
I
HENS DURING EARLY WINTER
Fowls on Range Alf Summer Should
Be Turned Out in Yards for Ex
ercise on Pleasant Days.
Consider that the birds which have
been on tho range ull summer will
miss the abundance of fresh alt
during tho first weeks of confinement
and turn thorn out in the yards for
exercise every pleasant day, allowing
them to stay there as long as they
wish, and while thoy aro out take ths
opportunity to throw open all thf
doors and windows, to obtnin thor
ough ventilation and to purify the
house. If there is no scratching shed
arrange somo plan whereby the house
enn bo made as light as possible
during tho day, and especially so that
plenty of sunlight will scatter Itself
over tho floor.
Above all things see thnt tho floor
Is dry nt all times, particularly If It
Is ?n earthen floor. If It gets too
danp this will Invariably menu n bad
cold. Thon see that the food consists
of c- great a variety as possible.
WINTER RATION FOR TURKEY
Only Sufficient Food Should Be Given
to Keep Them In Healthy Con
dition Water Twice Dally.
(By C U BnOVt'.V J
During tho winter season the stocu
turkeys should bo fed and watered
twice a day, Only sufficient food
should be given to keep thorn In good
healthy condition. When winter Is
over It Is ndvlsablo to feed them a
small amount of grain each ovcnlng
to encourage them to return to tholi
roosting quarters and thus prevent
them from wandering away with other
Hocks. Tho following ration Is n good
ono for the turkeys t Mix equal parts
by weight of corn or barley, oats -nd
U'linnt uirnnnlnna n w1 I. mlillilnn ,..
this trrnnn fnnd HhmiM lin antinllnri
once a day. For this purposo mangolB
cabbage or clover leaves are tho best
Grit and water should bo suppllod at
alt times.
Eggs for Storage.
It is often stated that eggs laid in
early spring, while tho weather Is
cool, have better keeping qualities
than eggs laid during August or oven
Sepjombor This Booms hardly prob
able, and one should not hesitate to
store tho summer eggs for winter ubo,
provided they nro guthered tho day
they aro laid, then put away In water
glass solution, and stored In as cool
a place as may be handy.
