The only persons to suffer from this change will he those whoso property Is tied up In saloon fixtures and tho manufacturing plant, other wise known as tho Gehllug brewery. The brewery will not ho by any means a total loss, as the plant Is suitable for cold storage purposes and can bo tinned Into an Ico plant. The Gehllng family have tho good will of nearly everyone and tho town has remained wet largely because of their being in tho, business. Tho voters had a right lo change, tho policy of the fown and have done, so without any malice or enmity towards anyone and many will bo sorry to see any of their old neigh bors lose by tho change and hopo to sen them adapt themselves to tho changed conditions without material loss, or Inconvenience."

CONSTRUCTION OF COLONY POULTRY HOUSE , ? 14 mm in III'"" '"' liin ,3A7nUb'R Zt Clk- SH"fc.fl " A""...''- "iK"X,v ' fl- -" -S fi&& i Interior of Laying House on Government Poultry Farm at Beltsvllle, Md. Poultry can bo ralHed successfully on any well-drained soil. A light loam, which will grow good grass, Is well ndapted for this purpose; whllo a very light, sandy soil, through which tho water leaches frcoly, will stand moro Intensive poultry conditions, but moat of the green feed for the fowls kept on such a soil will have to bo pur chased. A heavy clay or ndobo soil, Is not as well t 1apted to poultry raising, ns such land does not drain readily and It is much moro difficult to keep tho stock healthy, naya Farm ers' bulletin 574, department of agri culture. Long stationary houses, or tho in tensive system, snves stops, but It Is easier to keop tho birds healthy and to reproduce tho stock uijdor tho col ony system where tho birds aro al lowed frco range, llrccdlng stock, nnd especially growing chickens, should luivo nn abundance of range, whllo hens used solely for tho pro duction of market eggs mny bo kept on a vory Bmall area with good re sults. Tho colony house system neces sitates placing tho houses, holding about ono hundred hens, apart two hundred to two hundred and fifty feet, so that the stock will not kill the grass. Tho colony system may bo adapted to severe winter conditions by drawing tho colony houses togeth er in a convenient place at the begin ning of winter, thus reducing tho la bor during these months. Roof and Front. The roof is the most expensive but a most Important part of tho poultry houso, and should bo water-tight. Shingle roofs should have a one-third pitch, while those covered with paper or metal may have a less pitch, or bo almost flat; however, the grcator tho slope the longer tho life of tho roof. IBIffrnHBnMPHWPltasjiMK ftV (, LhK3hIH IB 'HHBHHHf 'aWM V'S I HBaiwSMSlJsfCiiiiM -J' )f '' 9SraHrsliHHHHviJHHBil JiSHxHftVBVjBHBBJ Colony House Used on Government Poultry Farm, i The shed or single-slope roof is adapt ed to houses up to slxtoen feet in width. It is ono of tho easiest stylos to construct It allows a high front to tho house, and furnishes a north ern slope for the roof on which roofing paper will last longer than on a roof which faces the south. , The combination and semi-monitor roofs aro adapted for the buildings from sixteen to twenty-four feet wide, while cither of these styles, or the monitor and the gable roof, may be used for wider buildings. Tho com bination roof on a houso over sixteen foet wldo gives tho best head room at tho least cost, reduces the amount of surplus air space, and gives a neat appoaranco to tho buildings; whllo tho acinl-monttor nnd monitor types aro best for wide houses which havo a central alley, particularly brooder houses. Tho floml-monltor houso usually faces south, whllo tho monitor typo of roof is frequently used on build ings facing cast or west. The gahlo roof is used extensively for two-story buildings, for brooder houses, and for Incubator cellars. This stylo of root is usually colled at or slightly above tho eaves, or tho globo may bo filled with straw or somo kind of absorbent material, which tonds to keep such houses dry and warm. Tho A-shaped roof is used for growing coops and colony houses which, with a wall 18 Inches high, provides a largo amount of floor spaco with a minimum amount of lumber; but Increases tho root sur face, which is tho most expenslvo part of tbo houso. A large amount of glass in tho front of tho houso mnkcH It warm during tho day and cold nt night, as glas radiates heat vory rapidly. Unbleached muslin, or n light weight of duckcloth Is used for curtains In tho fronts of) poultry houses. This cloth should be. thin enough to allow a slow circular tlon of air without a draft, which obi Ject Is defeated by using too heavy n, grade of duck or by oiling or paint ing tho cloth. Tho front of tho houso should bn high enough so thnt tho windows or openings will allow tho sun to shluo well back during tho win ter. Floors. Tho best kind of a floor depends upon tho soil nnd tho use of tliu houso. On light, sandy, well-drained soils a dirt floor is satisfactory, especially for smnll or colony henhouses. A board floor Is generally used whom (tho level of tho floor In tho houso is from ono to thrco .feet nhovo tho ground surface and in portnblo houses on land which is not well dralnod. Hoard floors harbor rats and rot quick ly, and should bo raised somo distance off tho ground bo that cats or dogs can get under them, which also al lows a free circulation of air to pre vent tho wood from rotting. Cement floors nro ndapted to long perma nent buildings, brooder houses, incu bator cellars, and to all permanent houses where an artificial floor is re quired and can bo built on the ground level. Roosts and Dropping Boards. Tho Interior fixtures of tho pens should bo slmplo, portable and Inex ipensivo. Roosts aro usually placed next to tho end or back walls, six to ten Inches above tho dropping boards, whllo the latter aro from two to two and one-half feet above tho floor. They should all bo on tho samo level, other wiso tho birds will crowd and fight to get on tho highest roost. Scantling 2 by 4 inches, with tho upper edges rounded off, makes good roosts with either tho wldo or narrow surface up. Allow seven to ten inches of roost spaco per fowl, according to tho slzo of tho blrdB. Roosts should be placed about fifteen inches apart, but the out side ones may bo within ten Inches of the edge of the dropping boards. Kinds of Material Used for Building. Houses made entirely of solid con crete are cold and damp, but concrete blocks may be used with good results. Hollow tile makes a very good poultry house, and it can be bought in some sections at a price which compares favorably, considering its durability, with wood. This construction is well adapted to incubator collars and brooder houses, or to any buildings re quiring double walls and good Insula tion. All kinds of wood aro used in build ing poultry houses, and any durablo lumber which is avallablo for that pur pose may bo used. Tho lumber which is to bo used for tho outBldo construc tion should bo well seasoned, other wiso tho shrlnkngo will leave cracks in the walls. The best shingles' aro made of redwood, cypress and cedar; and whlto pine is also used. Asbes tos shingles aro qulto durablo, but moro expenslvo than wooden ones. Whitewash. "Whitewash Is tho cheapest of all paints and may bo used clthor for ex terior or interior surfaces. It can bo mado by slaking about ten pounds of qulckllmo in a pall with two gallons of water, covering tho pall with cloth or burlap, and allowing It to slako for ono hour. Water Is then added to bring tho whitewash to a consistency which may bo applied readily. A weatherproof whitewash for exterior surfaces may bo mado as follows: (1) Slako ono bushel of qulckllmo In 12 gallons of hot water; (2) dlssolvo two pounds ojt common salt and ono pound of sulphate of zinc and two gallons of boiling wnter; pour (2) Into (1), thou add two gallons of skim milk and mix thoroughly. Whitewash la spread lightly ovor tho surfaco with a broad brush. Rotation Simplifies. Abandon tho catch crops and cover crop idea of farming and adopt tbo wheat, clover and com rotation that answers every requirement and slmplt fles tho wholo thing.

Tax Levy Higher than Previous Year. Taxes for nil purposes In Nebraska averaged about 40i, mills for the year 11)13, according to a compilation made by Secretary (Inddls of the statu tax commission, nnd thl was 2V2 mills more than In tho previous year. Tho stato tax levy Is blamed for tho differ ence, having been boosted In 191H fiom C.'J mills to 7.8 mills, as a result of special levies voted by tho legisla ture. Tho tax commission has figures from twcnty-llvo counties giving tho 1913 county tax, tho highest levy In any city, and the total for all purposes In such cities. The gross tax In these cities ranges from 41.3 to 94.5 mills, the lntter being a very cxtrenio tlguro for Furnas county. Estimating tho average tax for all communities, rural ns well as urban, the tax commission thinks 40Vi mills to be about right. Dr. Pierce's 1'lcixannt Pellets fimt put up 40 earn ao.

Time to Sow Alfalfa. This month or noxt Is the time for tho spring seeding of alfalfa, either In the eastern or western part of tho state, according to the Nebraska Col logo of Agriculture. The advantago of planting now Is that the plants may bo given nn early start on account of tho spring rains. However, care must be taken to see that tho alfalfa does not have to contend with a large crop of weeds, or It will be choked. Tho safest way to prevent a growth of weods Is to clean the ground by previ ous cultivation. If tho field that will be used for alfalfa was plowed In tho fall, it should he disked as soon as It can be worked and kept disked and harrowed until seeding. This will not only destroy the weeds, but conserve tho moisture. To Advertise Nebraska Resources.

County visiting days aro becoming popular at tho Nebraska College of Agriculture. A few days ago 300 farm ers and school students from Saunders county visited the different buildings, experimental plats and stockyards and listened to talks by University Farm olllclals. Last fall Gage county sent a large delegation, nnd a yeur ago last fall York county sent 200 visitors. Voters and candidates In Nebraska were relieved of tho necessity of go ing through n political campaign last fall and for the first tlmo In tho his tory of the year were ablo to rest two years between stato and county elec tions. This was brought about by tho adoption of thn biennial election amendment to tho constitution In 1012.

Many a talented person is kept back because of the interference ot coffee with tbo nourishment ot tho body. This is especially so with those whoso nerves aro very sensitive, as Is often the caso with talented persons. There is a simple, easy way to get rid of coffeo troubles and a Tenn. lady's experience along these lines is worth considering. She says: "Almost from tho beginning of the use of coffeo it hurt my stomach. By the time I was fifteen I was almost a nervoue wreck, nerves all unstrung, no strength to endure the most trivial thing, either work or fun. "There was scarcely anything I could cat that would agreo with me, Tho little I did eat Boomed to give mo moro troublo than it was worth. I was literally starving; was so weak I could not sit up long at a time. "It was then a friend brought mo a hot cup of Postum. I drank part ot it nnd after an hour I felt as though I had had something to eat felt etrengthoned. That was about five years ago, and after continuing Post um In placo of coffeo and gradually getting stronger, today I can eat and digest anything I want, walk as much as I want. My nerves nro steady, "I bollovo tho first thing that did m,o any good and gavo mo an upward start, was Postum, and I uso it alto gether now instead of coffeo."
