Every flock of chickens should have r
a house to live in. It need not be an e
expensive building but it should be ii
bright and sanitary. The best place li
to locate it is near some shade or c
fruit trees, to protect the hens from t
summer heat. The ground must be f
dry and preferably of sandy loam. s
The front or open side of the house
Bhould face the south, so as to have as t
much sunlight as possible on the t
floor. Cut 4-by-4-inch luraker for the g
sills, two pieces 10 feet long and two ii
pieces 7 feet 4 inches long, for the
house shown in the accompanying illustration.
This will accommodate 40
laying hens. Then erect five front ?
studs 7 feet long and four back studs
5 feet long. Put up the two center "
studs, the plates and roof rafters. v
Cover the frame with wide unplaned .
boards (not recommended unless
cheapness is a primary consideration
and even then It is better to cover
these boards with roofing paper, tongued-and-grooved
flooring or weather ^
boarding.) If you use tongued-andgrooved
flooring, lay It up and down. ?
In the front side leave an opening
-7 feet long by 4 feet deep and a door
space 2 feet 6 inches wide for the open
front and door. Both openings extend
to the roof and the remaining 3 feet A
(at the bottom) is closed to prevent
heavy wind or rain from blowing on '
the chickens. The openings are covered
with l-inch-meshed wire netting y
to keep out sparrows.

ORCHARD WORK F
Have you a supply of fruit on your > n
farm? If not, why not begin now to r
make arrangements for it? On almost v
every farm of the state there are a y
few trees, producing a small quantity t
of fruit. In most cases all the fruit y
ripens at once and is soon gone, giving c
a supply for only a short time and leav- i
ing none to put away for winter use. '
No southern state is better adapted r
than South Carolina to producing fruit c
lor nuiue use, /ri maiiuuo vi uvuaio v
leave the state every year for canned o
fruit. a
Preparing Soil. p
At this season of the year (Septem- 1
ber 1 to October 15) orchards are ubu- i h
ally neglected. Farmers seem to think s
that there is nothing to be done then a
that will be ?f any material help. Nev- t
ertheless, now is the time to begin to t
prepare soil for the trees that are set ,t
out this fall and winter. Select the
orchard site, break the soil as deeply f
as possible and harrow thoroughly, f
This work will greatly reduce the la- c
ter labor or setting the orchard. a
Choosing Varieties. g
What varieties are you going to b
plant? This is a point of great im- |
portance. Be sure to make selections t
that will provide fruit throughout an a
entire season. If you are not familiar 1
with the varieties that are adapted to C
your particular section, write to the ft
Extension Division, Clemson College, e
for Bulletin No. 15. In this will be b
fouhd lists of varieties suitable for the a
various sections of the state. p

Where are you going to get your t
trees and what are you going to pay
for them? If you are not in touch h
with a reliable nursery and if you are

matter. Beware of the tree agent. The

3 opened in warm weather to ventiate
the house and create a draft to

This is a valuable improvemetat
or Southern poultry houses and
hould always be provided.
The interior has at the north side

The six nests can be made of old

oxes. They can be placed on a raisd
platform together with the water
essel. This keeps both nests and
rater clean. Dry mash is fdd in a
lopper fir self-feeding box which will
\e described in a later article.
The floor of the house should be
rell-packed dirt filled in till level with
he top of the sill. A concrete floor is
>est of all and you should try to make
,n earthen floor as near a concrete surace
as possible. Chickens are injured

urseries they represent may be all
ight, but you are not always sure of
rhat you are getting and in most cases
ou are paying the agent's salary and
he expense of delivering the trees. If
'ou are thinking of setting out an orhard

Improving the Orchard.
If you already have an orchard, why
lot begin to improve It now? A cover
rop sown now and turned next spring
rill help wonderfully. Twenty pounds
f crimson clover seed per acre, sown
nd disced, will make a good cover,
irovided the seed are Inoculated,
'hree pecks of rye and 20 pounds of
airv vetch to the acre will also make
l good cover for the orchard. If these
.re turned next spring at the first culivatlon
they will add a lot of fertility
o the soil will also help to hold moisure.
There are a good many mummy
ruits hanging to the trees. These are
ull of spores and if left in the orhard
will cause more rotten fruit
nother year. Now is a good time to
et these out of the way. Pull and
urn them. - .

CHANGE IN CALANDAR
New York Minister Proposes Plan
Whiek Has Much Merit
A new cuiaudar with 13 months in
the iyear aiid requiring all persons
Ixirn after the 28th of each month to
flml another birthday, is proposed by
the Rev. II. J. Homes, who preached
recently nt All Angel's church In
West Eighty-first street says the New
York Herald.
Christian forces favor the change,
Mr. Homes says, in the Interest of
labor, of' trade, of general world advance.
He says he Is receiving many
letters of endorsement from clergymen
in Croat Britian and in the,United
States. He proposed that the calendar
be put hi oj)Cratioii at the close
of the war, thus signalizing to the
world that even Russia has abaudeued
her old eklandar and joined with the
world in u neW one.
Mr. names' calaudar is unique.
He adds another mouth to the year
and rails it "Holliday" for lack of a
bettor name. The new mouth's name
is tcnatire, he says. In the new
scheme of things each mouth of the
year contains 28 days.
Each month begins dn Sunday and
each ends with Saturday. This
arrangement provides one extra day
in the year and this day or these
two days In a leap year would be
added ' to December and both be
made holidays.
The calendar provides that all
holidays shall fall on Monday and
that Easter shall lie a stationary
feast 011 the third Sunday in April.
Mr. Hames came to the United
States 12 years ago from England.
He was ordained a year and a half
ago and came to New York In September.
"There Is 110 society behind my
proposed cajandar," he said yesterday
This plan Is my own, but It seems
to have met a need. It Is based on
church cniandars to some extent.
Having Christmas always in the middle
of the week will be one of Its advantages.
"While It seems radical to talk of
changing the calandar it Is really
not the first time the calendar has
l?een changed. When there are advantages
to lie gained, why not change.?
RESERVE BOARD HAS ACTED
t \
Special Red'soount Rates, Provided
Member Banks Charge Only 6
Per Cent."
. If
Washington, Sept. 4.?Definite steps
were taken yesterday by the Federal
Reserved Board and Secretary McAdoo
of the Treasury Department, to extend
lid to cotton producers of the South
and to clear the wa.v for handling the
Fall crop without the uncertainty I
land difficulty experienced last year.
The hoard isrfued new regulations
Iauthorizing Federal reserve hanks to
I give sj>eelal rediscount rates 011 promiI
sory notes scoured hy warehouse rel-eipts
for staple agricultural products
I with the restriction that member
Ihanks must not charge more than 6
I i>er cent to the lx>rrower.
1 Secretary McAdon announced he
I would soon dejMisIt $.r>,000,000 as an
I initial deixtslt In gold in each of the
(Federal reserve hanks at Richmond.
(Atlanta and Dallas. Fifteen million
( lollars more is to he deposited later.
(The Secretary said that If conditions
j howed the need of deiHjslts elsewhere (
(to aid in handling any other crop he
would extend Similar Government
aid.
The new regulations are bread
(enough to apply to all staple, readily
marketable crops hut it Is well known
that the cotton crop is the one which
(has given concern of late. The hoard
|auuounce<l that the reserve hanks in
Atlanta and Dallas already had requested
a discount rate of three per
cent on the sort of i>nper approved
in the regulations.
The announcements followed meetings
that have occupied the time of
the hoard and Mr. McAdoo most of the
past two days.
Although when the Secretary orginally
proposed dei>ositx of Govern-(
ment funds in Southern Reserve banks
alone, many, months ago, the fdan was
not favored hj; several mcmlwrs of the I
