Light Ventilation and Dry Floor
Chief Requisites
MUST BE FREE FROM DRAFTS
Plenty of light ventilation and a dry
floor arc the chief requisites for poul
try housing It is also essential that
the building be free from drafts as
these are likely to quickly affect the
health of the chickens
There are several ways to insure that
the floor of the poultry house be dry
One way is to place the house on
high ground so that it will be thor
oughly well drained in all directions
This is a good plan If it is practica
Me to put in a concrete floor this will
keep out the moisture from below
and it can be covered with litter on
the top so that the chickens will not
be affected by its coldness A good
way is to build up the floor of the
house above the surrounding level
with a layer two or three inches thick
of some coarse material
An abundance of light helps in many
ways In keeping out disease it is
very efficient It keeps the hens
cheerful in winter and this is a large
fector in egg production during cold
weather For winter egg production
it s also essential that there be
thorough ventilation There would
naturally be a large amount of foul
damp air in the house if it were not
carried cut and it would tend to
weaken the laying power of the hens
It is not best to locate the farm
poultry house near other buildings and
sheds for the fowls are likely to over
run them and become a nuisance
Also when the house is set close in
the yard it is likely to be so small that
the birds are fed on the same soil for
successive years This increases the
tendency to filthy condition and un
healthy flocks These are questions
which must be encountered and addi
tional yard space would eliminate this
question to a great extent
Again the farmer demands a chick
en house which requires little atten
tion The university has planned a
house that will meet the requirements
The house advised by the university
for the use of the average farmer is
a modification of the fresh air type
It is l2 t feet large enough to ac
commodate seventy laying hens The
roof is double pitch and the sides are
of Kneqiai length The short span
which fades the north is about one-
third the length of the longer The
higu side on the north is five feet
high adn low side three feet six inches
The north side of this house is com
pletely closed in and the south side is
co ered over with wire screen and left
optn Two windows are placed in the
wefct end their size being twelve light
with SxlO inch glass These windows
besides affording plenty of light for
the interior can be opened readily so
that there will be a free circulation of
air The roosts should be located on
the high side as far as possible from
the openings
This open front house is always well
ventilated nd it adapts itself to tem
perature changes without attention
Muslin frames might be used in the
front to keep out storms but usually
one is not present to do the adjusting
It is often asked if the birds will
not be too cold in this open front
house Experience has shown how
ever that birds do well under these
conditions It is not the cold so
much as sudden changes in tempera
ture or espeeiatty damp conditions
Frozen combs often result from ex
cessive moisture rather than from the
extreme cold
In building the roosts a 2x2 inch
stick should be rounded off on the
corners and it is well if a small
groove be put along the top side
This is handy when disinfecting as a
little oil poured in one end will spread
along the whole roost and kill any
lice that might be there
Such a house is not expensive to
build and will be found convenient
for use on the average farm
When spring plowing commences as
soon as the weather is warm enough
it should be remembered that disking
will help to make the plowing easier
pd better When land is disked be
fore it is plowed according to Prof
Doane of the Missouri College of Agri
fiilutre the plowing is easier and the
seed bed is deeper and more thorough
ly pulverized Instead of having a fine
surface with clods underneath there
will be made a seed bed that is pul
verized down to the bottom of the fur
row It is in this lower part that tne
corn roots or any other roots make
their largest growth Furthermore if
there it litter of corn stalks scattered
over the ground the disk will prepare
it for the plow much better The disk
is now largely replacing the stalk
cutter for working cornstalk ground
Everywhere in the state some farm
ers are paying heavy taxes by leaving
their implements out in the weather
An implement loses very rapidly if al
lowed to rust The business farmer is
now looking after the machinery he
will use later in the spring and get
ting it ready
Large poultry farms usually fail
after a few years but a small poultry
plant on the general farm seldom fails
to pay well They will pay better if
they arc well housed and regularly
cared for
SOME FACTS ABOUT -SLEEP
Caused by a Withdrawal of Blood
From the Brain Says Modern
Physiology
All the organs of life rest in some
way or other The heart has an in
terval of rest between each combined
net of contraction and expansion and
the beginning of a fresh act Be
tween each expiration of the lungs
and the succeeding inspiration there
Is a period of repose Physiologists
have calculated that the heart re
poses during about one fourth of the
time
Certain of the other organs suspend
their activity in part during sleep
Old physiologists supposed that sleep
was caused by the pressure of the
blood on the brain But modern
physiology with a tendency to regard
the brain as the origin of all force
and of all functions of the body in
clines to the view that sleep is
caused by a withdrawal of blood from
the brain
As a rule the larger the brain the
more sleep it requires Webster went
to bed at nine oclock and rose at
five General Grant used to say dur
ing his campaigns I can do noth
ing without nine hours sleep
A curious trait has marked men of
large brain that of sleeping at will
Bonaparte used to throw himself on
the ground and go to sleen wirn
a space of two minutes Pitt was a
sound sleeper and slept night ftcr
night in the house of coamons who
his colleagues watched the del a a
and roused him when it was neces
sary that he should speak
HE DEPENDED 0W HIS WIFE
How the Nearsighted Old Man Al
most Slept Kirneclf to Death
Never Eating
It seems that an old man with some
property had married an elderly lzdy
The lady was a sprightly dame execu
tive lively and keen The bridegroora
could not see more than an inch Le I
yond his nose and he was pretty hn il
of hearing too So he depended a god
deal on his wife you understand Hed
wake up in the morning and I
it wasnt time to get up for breakfast
So hed slide out of bed and look into
his wifes room If she was up hed
begin dressing if she was still in tha
hay hed go back and have another
nap Well the lady got on to this habit
of his She fixed up a dummy out ct
bedclothes one morning just before
she wcrt downstairs The old man
came into the room an hour lato
squinted at the bed and said Arna i
ctill asleep and went right back to
the feathers After he had 3lcpt
awhile he took another observaticn
Same business
It was ten days before he found out
how his wife had fccen fooling him Hi
blame near slept himself to de th
meanwhile He never had a meal and
he got weaker and weaker but he
never get up Ke didnt know it was
morning yet And the old lady had
the time of her life she had saved
S14C6 jn groceries alone
Higgins the driver of the pie wag
on told us this And he swears its
true but we swear not at all Cleve

Beware of Cousins
Cousins are not as simple as they
seem The very fact of being a cousin
or having a cousin is complicated
The laissez faire of cousinship is both
eluding and deluding cousins will be
cousins even if you did not chooso
them They can borrow money from
you visit you without being asked tell
people they belong to your family
contest your will even fall irf love
with you and a cousin once removed
is twice as apt to Never completely
trust a cousin never depend on his
not doing any of these things Never
take him for granted The cousinly
kiss may or may not mean what it
means And cousins always do kiss
its part of being cousins
Not that cousins need necessarily
prove perilous Once in a blue moon
they invite you to Europe or leave
you money but that almost always
takes an aunt or an uncle Atlantic
Reinforced Concrete of Old Rome
Although concrete has been used
for many centuries it is generally sup
posed that reinforced concrete is a
modern invention This however has
been disproved according to Popular
Mechanics by the finding of bronze
reinforcing rods in the concrete roof
of an ancient Roman tomb and In the
discovery of reinforced concrete in
the construction of one of the walls
of the old palace of the Louvre Paris
The reinforced concrete in the lat
ter dates back only 300 or 400 years
but created much comment because
the walls were thought to consist en
tirely of ashlar and quarry stone The
discovery that the stone casing con
cealed a core composed in part of re
inforced concrete was made while
workmen were piercing the wall for
an elevator installation
Englands Oldest Newspaper
Besides being the governments best
journalistic property the London Ga
zette is also the oldest existing Eng
lish newspaper It published its Gr3t
number in 1665 In that troubled year
the court was at Oxford on account of
the plague and the paper bore the
name of the Oxford Gazette in conse
quence not changing to its present
title until the twenty fourth number
We can get some idea of the cost oi
running it from the statement of oni
of its rivals that the rivals charge for
entertaining spies for information
was 2500 in the first year
