Most Essential That Hens Be Protect ed From Inclement Wenther. and Their Enemies. 1 One of the most essential tilings in poultry keeping, is to have n .suitable house which will protect tho fowls from Inclement wenther and from their natural enemies. It Is well un tlcrstood that no two farms will pre sent exactly the same conditions; for Instance, one farmer will desire to keep one hundred hens whilo another mny want many more or loss. Then again, some farms will present ono kind of soil, whereas on other farms the character of the soli and dralnago are entirely different. Some farmers will desire n house which presents an attractive appearance, wherens on other farms poultry holmes will be so located that they are not conspicuous, and. hence Ul matter of appearance la of little concern. It must be remembered that from the standpoint of tho hen, nppcaranco makes very little difference, but tho house must be so built nnd so ar ranged that It will be u comfortable place for tho hens to live; othcrwlso they will not thrive and production will not be satisfactory. On many farms the hens are not provided with a house constructed Especially for them but are housed In an old building originally made for some other pur pose.

"The baby swallowed It," was the reply. "Well, then, show me the receipt for your payments for the first bond." "Can't; cat chowed It up." "What proof have you, then, that you have bought a bond?" "Well, I can show you the baby and tne cat." On hearing this facetious reply, the solicitor said, "Well, you can at least do me the favor to drive me In your auto to the homo of a possible cus tomer," nnd the other, overjoyed to get away without "loosening," hastily com-"-pHed. Tho solicitor gave the "tight wad" the address of the latter'R next door neighbor. Arriving there, the pa triotic one did not go Into that house, but proceeded to the home of his friend who had refused him, the friend, In amazement, trailing along. "Mrs. Blank," sit Id the solicitor to the "tightwad's" wife, who opened the door, "I am working In the Interest of the government and 1 should like to kco your baby." ' "My bnhy'" queried the astonished wife, "uliv lie's twenty-eight years old and lives in California." "Ah, Indeed! Well. then, may I In spect your cat?" Looking at him with frightened eyes as though she were gazing on a ma niac but somewhat assured by her husband's presence, the wife replied to this. "I never had a cat In my life. I hate 'em nnd wouldn't have one of 'em around." Then, turning to .the husband, who had wilted Into a chair, Ihe solicitor made out an application for a .$100 bond, filled out a check for a similar ntitount and presented them to the bus Maud, saying. "Just sign on the lower lines, please." The "tightwad" was too much taken nhack to do anything but comply.
