I BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, GOOD MCUSE FOR CHICKENS There Is No Need of Elaborate Strue ture, but It Should Be Dry and Free From Draughts. In describing what he deems the best house for chickens, Mr. Glenn T, | Sponenbergh of Oswego county, New York, writes the Farm and Home as follows: Tage -— Front Elevati- 7 and Floor Plan, If concrete i8 used in the construc tion of the foundation and floor it will make a rat and water-proof floor that is sanitary and easily cleaned. The rest of the house should be built of wood, as the forms for concrete would cost nearly as much as the siding fteelf. The frame is 2x4-inch mate rial and the siding and roof boards of yellow pine surfaced both sides If the sides are eovered with roofing paper, it makes a tight and very warm house The roof should be covered with some good rooting laid accord ing to directions so as to make it as tight as possible Shingles are not suitable for a building of this kind, as is apt to be damp most of the time. The curtain front house is the driest and most easily regulated in accordance with the weather. It is cheaper to build, is more easily cleaned the roof and the floor space is more fully uti lized than in the scratching-shed type This house should be built tight so ition is from the south, With the scratch- that the vent therefore no drafts ing-shed house room is almost always sure to be damp. But by removing the partition this is elim- the roosting inated and healthier hens are the re- sult If any one doubts that a flock of hens stir up much dust just let him stand on the front side of a cur tain front house when they are fed Open the curtain and when he sees the cloud of dust they raise I believe he will think fowls need more venti lation A shed roof is best, as it is easier to build, provides greater volume of sun- light and has no peak to become filled with cobwebs. The pens should be deep rather than !ong and shallow This places the suniight on the floor instead of on the back wall, therefore a dried floor and happier hens. The pens should be large enough to accom- modate 50 hens and two or more cocks. One 20 feet deep and 12 feet wide will furnish the required floor space The accompanying plans of side and front elevations and floor arrangement illustrate what | think is the best house. This contains pens 12x20 feet, the front being 81% feet and the back b feet high. This is as high as is necessary to build and as low as is easy to work in. The front contains, to each pen, one double sash window with the upper sash hinged at the top, This is opened when too cold or stormy to raise the curtain. A frame bx5 feet, with the top hinged to swing in, is covered with muslin or cheese cloth. On the outside of this opening is tacked woven wire to keep the fowls in while curtain is open during the day, except during a hard storm and in very cold weather. The platform under the roost is 314 feet from the floor, and the nests are the same height, being entered from the platform. This leaves nearly all the floor space available to the hens, and every nook and corner is cleaned with ease. The roosts are 3x2-inch material rounded at the top. For a 8ide Elevation Mr. Sponenbergh’s House. breeding house 1 would make the pens 12 feet deep and 8 feet wide, which would hold as many hens as are desired with one cock, but for a laying house the larger size is the better and more economical. Condition of Laying Hens. A hen im the best laying condition has some surplus fat on her body. This means that her bodily wants have been supplied, and there is some to spare. A very fat hen seldom lays well, a poor hen cannot lay well. The first part of the egg which is made is the yolk, which contains 30 per cent. of albumen and 64 per cent. fat. New growth and egg production only come from the surplus food not needed to keep the body. Corn is am excellent grain, but is so relished by the fowls that are liable to overeat. Wheat, with its by-products, 18 the most useful grain to the poultry. MAAR. Hard Runs Bad. Keeping fowls on hard rums will frequently cause swollen feet and legs. | They must have seme loose ground to soretch over. PA.

During their last session the legisla- tures of new laws regulating the number of work- ing hours for women. South Carolina passed a law limiting them to 60 per several states passed week in mercantile houses and the textile mills, of which there are so many in the state In Ohio and Massachusetts a 54- hour bill has been enacted. The Ohio bill applies to everything excepting hotels and mercantile establishments. Utah and Missouri have also passed nine-hour laws, says Health Culture. The ten-hour law which the legisla- ture of Illinois enacted in 1909 is en- larged so as to include practically every kind of establishment where women are employed. Wisconsin has established a B56 hour week, excepting night work, which is less. Minnesota has strength- ened its ten-hour law by extending the penalty for violation so as to include manufacturing and mechanical estab- lishments. The states of Washington and California have passed eight-hour day laws for women. The law of Washington applies to the usual mer- cantile and mechanical establish- ments, restaurants, hotels and laun- dries, but the California act applies also to telegraph, telephone, express and transportation offices. Critical Moment. At the beginning of the Civil war men who knew little about military tactics were sometimes temporarily in command of small bodies of the troops which flocked into Washington, and fit is said that Senator Henry Wilson of Massachusetts, afterward vice-presi- dent of the United States, was for a time assigned to the captaincy of a company of recruits from his native state. He assisted in drilling them to the best of his ability, hui one aft noon, as he marched at their head up Pennsylvania avenue, he met his Wa- terloo. He had been getting along very well and was beginning to cel quite proud of the proficiency of Lis men, when he suddenly realized that the coping and fence extending south from the treasury building was right in his forward patch. He could not think of the order which would swing his command into Fifteenth street, and thereby avoid the obstacle. Near- er and nearer the company approach- ed; the men were almost upon his heels, when in desperation he shout- ed: “Come round like a gate!” and the situation was saved. Didn't Mean It. Charles D. Hilles, secretary to the president, tells thi: on Gus J. Karger, the Washington newspaper man. Kar- ger is a Hebrew, and a wit, so Hilles is safe in circulating this slander. It | appears that when the presidential | party visited the home town of Maj. | Archie Butt, the president's aide, they attended church where Butt, as a youth, worshiper. The presi dent and Karger sat in a pew near the front, and when the stirring hymn, “Onward Christian Soldiers!" was given out, the president, as usual, lifted up his voice in song. The boys looked at Karger, and to their aston fshment noted that he was caroling | away cheerfully alongside the presi. dent. “But I looked over,” says Hilles, | “and saw that Karger had his hands on the top of the pew in front of him, with his fingers crossed.” was a Garnets for Sandpaper, Grandpa recollects when the garnet, | | a simple and lovely stone, was regard- oe a. od = c a | ed as precious and worn generally in | beautiful, old-fashioned jewelry.
