Our new poultry house and scratch room combined ls the handiest 1 have ever seen. It is 48 feet long by 8 feet wide, 9% feet high in front and 6% feet at the back. The scratching shed roof is a foot lower throughout, writes Alice McNarie of Baldwin, Kan., in the j Fanners Mall and Breeze. The floor j ls of cement and the roof shingled. The front of the scratching room is covered with poultry netting to keep out sparrows, which also means to keep out mites. At the back of the scratching room are 12 wire nests 2% House and Scratch Room. feet above the floor. Each nest is fas tened to a 2 by 4 at the back by means of a single staple. At the front the nests are stapled to a 1 by 3-inch strip which rests on brackets at the ends. At night the nests may simply be tipped back to the wall to keep the hens from roosting on them. The roosts are on a level and 2% feet above the floor. OLD HENS ARE POOR LAYERS Experiments at Maryland Station Showc That Aged Birds Aro Maintained at Serious Loss. At the Maryland station, ?n a study of the egg production of sixty white Leghorn hens in three successive years, the average number of eggs per bird was 171.3 the first year; 149.1 the second year and ?5M, the third year. The estimated cost of the mainte nance of the flock was $90 for each year; the profit per hen was $2.07 the first year, $1.61 the second year and 90 cents the third year. All of the five hens which produced 200 eggs and over laid their first egg in November, whereas of the fowls pro ducing 100 and under only 3.7 per cent, laid their first egg in Novem ber; 4.4 per cent, laid their first egg in January, and 13 per cent, laid their first egg in February. One fowl made the best record in the third year, 13 in the second year, and the remainder during the first year. The percentage of shrinkage proves conclusively that birds of this age are being maintained at a serious financial loss. PAIL FOR COLLECTING EGGS Double-Hinged Cover Protects Con tent. From Dirt in House and From Weather Outside. A good, stiff galvanized pail is best for gathering the eggs, as it is easy to carry and the rigid sides prevent its buckling and cracking the eggs, says the Farm and Home. A handful of bran in the bottom will keep the eggs from rolling and breaking each other Galvanized Egg-Pall. when there are only a few in the pail. If the bottom is raised an inch the pail will rest more firmly on uneven surfaces. The double hinged cover, as shown in the cut, will protect the eggs from dirt when the pail is inside the houue and from rain or snow while outside. A 12-quart pail will hold about 125 eggs. Use Common Sense. In raising poultry do not attempt to use every new remedy, etc., or put into practice every new system or way you hear or read of; if you do failure will be the result. A good, lib eral use of common sense and sound judgment in matters pertaining to the handling of your poultry will do much better than most systems. Oreen Food for Turkeys. Although the turkeys can pick up as much green food as they like when at liberty, this is not enough, neither is lt the right sort, and lt is decidedly advantageous to provide them with green food. PREPARE FOWLS FOR WINT?? Thoroughly Dipped bi Solution of Warm Water and G?eaae Effects ? ?Hy Kills AU Vermin. ? i Save all the strong bacon ^grease* especially the grease from fried ba-, con. When your fowls sit around picking themselves and looktrigr droopy and shabby, get a large, deep can or bucket; from its shape a targa. candy bucket is best; fill it nearly full of warm water; on this pour melfc?; ed grease until it forms a thick scum* over the water; catch your fowls,"take* them one by one by their wings, an?j with the head straight up, dip them; down, pretty hard, two or three time?! into the water; let the head* go com? pletely under once; do this quickly*.toj avoid strangling the fowl; then t?'rrr it loose. : After waiting a few hours for the water to drip from the feathers, drive? them Into the shade, so the sun wilt not blister them. For a short tncro they will be a B?rry looking lot ot fowls. > This treatment causes the feathers to fall apart, so the body of the fowt ls cool, the water softens the skiri;ji. the grease-laden feathers fall out eas-, Hy, and the new ones push their w^y through the skin and grow in masses instead of one or two in a place; th? time of molting is shortened; tho fatty grease kills all the vermin on the fowl, while grease-saturated feath ers are('death traps to any vermin, that may get on them. Keep the bucket filled with water, and pour more grease on the wate^| from time to time. The fowls should be dipped early' In the morning, and made to roosts under shelter for several nights. By dipping the fowls In the ?arly fall they become healthy and free, from pests, hence stand the wintert better and in the spring have little O?J no vermin to annoy them and get uni; and kill their little ones. j - 4 WATER TROUGH FOR WINTER Device Consists of Part of Barrel to? verted and Set Over Fountain and Lantern. I i t The method shown in the sketch is used by me in cold weather to keen? the drinking water for the poultry from freezing. The device consists oC a part of a barrel inverted and set} I Winter Water Trough. over the fountain, and a tubular lan* tern, writes P. C. Fish of Kansas City, Mo., in the Popular Mechanics. A small opening is cut in one side of the barrel through which the fowl coo reach the water. Eggs for Breeding. Pure-bred eggs can be sold for breeding ut high prices In the spring, when the markets are glutted with, common eggs and their price is low est. Again in the autumn, when poul try is selling for its lowest price, tba breeder of thoroughbred chickens will have no difficulty in selling all his sur plus stock at remunerative prices. When his supply is largest, both cgg3 and birds will sell for high prices. This canot be said of mongrel stock. The avidity with which birds eat bolled potatoes proves their value as feed. Unfertilized eggs keep best, and salt is the best material to pack^ them in. ? A few nails thrown into the drink? lng pan will give poultry ali the iron they need. Too often when stock is fed for a certain market it is sold at a dis advantage. With good care, good stock looks better, does better and pays better* than scrubs. Moulting season is the time your stock requires more care than at any other time of year. An underfed hen means a hen that does not lay much. Eggs cant ba, made out of nothing. Laying hens drink a very large amount of water if it is clean and kept constantly before them. Fruit-growing and poultry-raising go well together. Anyone following either will do well to consider tnt) other. The sooner a hen starts a new litter of eggs after she lays out one litter, the more profitable a hen sho is. Watch this. The market is always good for broil ers; but don't let the folks in town eat them all. Broil now and then for the folks at home. No use to feed chicks heavy unless you keep the chicks from feeding lice Doctor the insect pests first, then gi. er the chicks a feast. It ls just as necessary to whitewash the poultry house and clean up around the yards now as to put the stoves in order for winter. The patent egg boxes now make shipping very easy as they are light and cost so much less than "when the eggs are packed In the wo^pp, boxes.
