Boyer Poultry Editor of The Farm Journal. COPYRIGHT, 1915. To grow rapidly and develop into profitable early layers, pullets must he provided with sliadn (luring the summer months. Mature birds, more over, will not do their best if they are exposed to the heat. In this ar ticle Mr. Boyer tells how to provide shade for poultry. -I :*v- \" It Is Just as important to keep the poultry comfortable in summer as it Is in winter. "Comfort" should be the motto of every poultrykeeper, and it should be strictly enforced'. To re main healthy and vigorous, both fowls and chicks must be protected from the burning rays of the sun. To deprive the stock of sunlight would be fatal. A house situated where it does not get the sunlight is unfit for fowls; but If it gets the sun for only a few hours a day it may be j used. Mature birds soon degenerate j away from the sun, and chicks are | sickly when grown with little sun- i light. But no fowl can thrive when j long exposed to the heat of the sun, so there should be shade at least In the heat of the day. Dense and com plete shade Is to be avoided. Air and sunshine in moderation are impor- j tant factors In the growth and thrift | of stock. Natural shade is desirable ,and fruit trees are particularly good, since they give shelter as well as crops that can be sold at a profit. They provide shade during hot weather, and, dropping their leaves for winter, allow the sun shine to strike past their limbs In cool weather. Evergreen trees planted In hedges for windbreaks for winter also furnish a dense and cooling shade In summer. How to Provide Artificial Shade Shade can be furnished artificially !n different sections of the yard by using branches of trees cut In full foliage; or by driving three-foot stakes ' In the ground and covering them with I i canopy of burlap; or by trecting Build With Concrete— the Fireproof Way Good concrete lasts practically forever, and grows harder and stronger with age. Concrete walls stand when others crumble before the flames. In building for permanence, consider the advantages of saving on repairs, painting and insurance by using concrete, made with ALPHASCEMENT We recommend ALPHA in preference to ordinary Portland Cement* because we know that ALPHA can always be depei)ded upon. Our customers prefer ALPHA because they know that it leads in binding power. Every ounce is pure, live and active, thoroughly burned, finely ground and properly aged. Wc warrant ALPHA to more than meet the U. S. Government stand ard forstrength. Let us give you an estimate on the cement you will need for that improvement you are planning. Ask, too, for our free book that shows how to make permanent walls, floors, walks and a hundred other things with ALPHA, the Guaranteed Portland Cement.

The prime importance of sunlight in sanitation is universally acknowledged by the medical fraternity. It Is Na ture's great disinfectant, and the di rect rays of the sun will destroy dis ease germs. So the beneficial effects of sunlight must not be Ignored. The question Is how can it best be controlled so as not 'to ido damage to the stock. It is not uncommon to have heat prostrations during hot weather, es pecially In the case of heavy fowls, the birds suddenly dropping over in sensible. The cause is attributed to the heat making a pressure on the brain. Exposure to the hot sun Is frequently the reason. I might go through the entire list of poultry ailments and find where sunshine acts as a tonic aa well as a preventive of diseases. The lesson is, then, that we have our poultry-houses so erected that the sunshine can en ter at certain hours of the day to dis infect the interior, drive out damp ness, and destroy disease germs. The yards must be partially shaded, so there will be no dampness, hut part of It must be shaded so that the stock m*y b«*hle *e K«t a-cool place, fail ure to provide for this may result in serious loss. Shade Necessary During Molting Probably at no time Is the hot sun more dangerous to fowls than during molting season, Molting is nature's condition for exchanging the old, wornout feather-beaten suit for a fresh clean one. Quite frequently individual birds will be almost en tirely nude, and when exposed to the hot nuns the skin not only quickly reddens, but Is apt to blister and be come sore. It is just as Important to shelter molting fowls from hot suns as !t is to protect them from cold storms. Growing chicks will not thrive If they are not given the proper amount of shade In their runs. They must be protected from the strong rays of the sun. Niagara Farm, in Ransomville, Niagara county. New York, has adopt ed an excellent method for providing shade for the young birds. A field of ten acres is fenced off and planted in corn. After the stalks are about two feet high, colonies of young chicks, with their coops scattered here and there all over the field, are quartered on this cornfield. They are »not only protected from the hot suns, but-are enabled In this range to gather con siderable bugs and sprigs of grass that crop up. As the chicks grow older the corn stalks grow higher. It' is the best provision for shade I have seen yet, and as the corn is planted in hills, 'here Is still sufficient space left for the sun to shine In and keep the ground from becoming too damp for the chicks. It is the best wrinkle I have yet como across, as the corn crop more than pays the cost of plant ing and what other expense may be incurred. How to Avoid Failure With Poultry The stumbling blocks to success In poultry raising will be discussed next week by Reese V. Hicks, man ager of one of the largest egg farms in the world and former president of the American Poul try Association. Mr. Hicks will tell how to avoid difficulties and will analyze the reasons that have led to most of the failures with poultry. His article will be help ful to amateur and professional poultrymen alike. for it ex clusively in the Telegraph next Saturday. ————————■ Hupmobile Co. Use Vacant Land For Playgrounds Utilising unimproved property for the benefit of the children in the neighborhood is the . latest innovation of the Detroit automobile manufactur ers. A playground for children Is the new feature which has been inaugur ated by the Hupp Motor Company, and it has always become so popular that It Is filled every day to capacity although It was first opened only last Saturday. The new playground, located at Griffin and Moran streets. Is similar too, although much larger than those of the city in the public school yards. Like the city playgrounds, It is under the supervision of the Recreation com mittee, which also furnishes the In structors, a man for the boys and a woman for the girls. The idea of giving the children in the neighborhood a playground origi nated with J. Walter Drake, president of the Hupp company who figured that the company could make a hu manitalian use of its vacant property and at the same time take the chil dren off the streets in the neighbor hood where they are in constant dan ger because of the scores of automo biles which are constantly coming and going from the Hupp factory. The playground was fitted up with complete apparatus with a gravel and sand flooring and turned over to the City Recreation committee under whose supervision it is being operated. This commission has appointed J. Richard Hardy as boys' director and Miss Irma Martens as girls' director. As high as three hundred boys and girls have used the playground at times. The instructors give them reg ular lessons at stated hours and the rest of the day is devoted to free play. There are swings, slides, teter boards, wading ponds, sand boxes and a merry-go-round. A canvas will be stretched over a portion of the play ground during the hottest parts of the day. "We fitted up the playground as much for our own peace of mind as for the benefit of the children." said J. Walter Drake, president of the Hupp Motor Company. "With cars constantly on the move in the streets around the factory it has been a diffi cult proposition to avoid accidents, es pecially on account of the large num ber of children who played in the streets around our factory. "As wo had this vacant property, which we are holding for additions to the factory, we decided to build the children a playground and let the city supervise it. "Most of Detrblt's automobiles fac tories are located in the congested districts and I think that it would be of great benefit to both companies and the community if the other factories w'th vacant property would turn it over to the Recreation committee." Cavalry and Scouts Search For Bandits Who Robbed Tourists By Associated Press Salt Lake City, Utah, July 10.— United States cavalry sfnd scouts to day were searching the western side of the Yellowstone National Park for the three highwaymen yesterday who held up and robbed a party of 35 tour ists, mostly teachers from New York city, who were making the trip into the park in five stage coaches.

Ferry Will Carry Sunday Visitors to McCormick's Where Girls Are Camping Unless the Susquehanna should mis behave suddenly and rise to extreme the girls' camp on McCormick's Island will not be moved; it will not be nec essary. City Commissioner M. Harvey Tay lor, superintendent of parks, made that announcement at noon after a personal visit to the camp and a thorough inspection of conditions. In cidentally Mr. Taylor kept the phone at his elbow with a through wire to camp wide open. "The water is not dangerous at all now and from all the official reports that we can obtain from the State Water Supply Commission and the United States weather forecaster, the stream will not reach a stage that need cause any anxiety," said the com missioner to-day. "The water will have to go up nearly two feet to get into camp at its present site and In an emergency we could easily move to the ground nearly which is six feet higher. Furthermore we've flats and boats ready to take the girls away at once if there should be occasion. "Visitors who want to go to camp -to-morrow, Sunday—we always have a big lot on Sunday—should try to arrange their trips so as to board the ferryboat at 10 o'clock in the morning and 2 In the afternoon. No hauling will be done by rowboats or flats be cause the water is so swift as to make it a real job for the boatmen and the ferry can easily accommodate every body. The return trip from the island will be made at 5 o'clock." RUSSIANS BLOCKING ADVANCE OF TEUTONS [Continued from Flrtft Page.] front and tlie breaking up of Isolated attacks by the Italians.

That other more serious aches were not in evidence this morning is re garded as remarkable, for the four hundred certainly did stow away a mass of "eats" out of all proportion to their numbers. Look What Disappeared Figures are always Imposing. Look at this raft of stuff that disappeared: Ono hundred and fifty cakes of all sizes, description and composition (they were all about the same age); 50 loaves of bread, 50 dozens of eggs, 20 pounds of butter, 20 gallons of pickles, 25 pounds of sugar, 10 gal lons of milk, 10 gallons of coffee, 40 pounds of meat, 20 pounds of cheese, 50 pounds of ham, 500 pret sels, 1 barrel of potato chips, 20 bunches of bananas and tyo crates of canteloupes. Ice cream was devoured by the quart and new freezers con stantly arriving mixed things up so that the committee this morning had not yet figured how much Bowman & Co. owes a local firm. J. William Bowman and Harry H. Bowman represented the firm and were in the van of the numerous ac tivities. I>id Things Hum? Yea, Bo! There wasn't a minute during the day that things were idle. The closest approach to peaceful quietness was while a panorama picture was being taken of the crowd, and if you look closely you will find that some moved even then. There were sports in abundance and prizes for the winners. Soon after the picnickers piled oft fhn fourteen auto trucks a movie man perched at an advantageous position started to grind off feet after feet of film. It wasn't long before his lim ited supply ran out. Then loud wails rose frem a bunch of girls standing directly in front ol the machine, who feared their pictures had not been taken. Telegrams were hastily dispatched to Philadelphia and a thousand feet more arrived here by express early in the afternoon. It was rushed to the picnic grounds in a speedy automobile and the machine again took up Its clanking. It is planned to show the films In a local thrater next week. The Races Some of the races were: Fat wom en's. fat men's, sack, egg, peanut, pop drinking, thin men's and thin women's. Prizes to the winners were presented by Miss Nellie First.
