F. dbmerts Woodworth, Vis.W, t writes to the -Orange ud4 Lurmer: My hen hounse illustrated herewith is 18xt4 bui feet with 12 foot posts. This gives two WI tories with as much Loor room above vid as below. It stands on a stone under- an pianing laid up solid with mortar. Th Each story is divided into two rooms. - the one 16x16 feet. the other 8x16 feet The are lower floor is of -clay and is raised 8 net inebes higher than the level of the ,o ground putside. This insures its per- thu tect dryness and in fact it is dusty dir every day in the year. The 16x16 room w below is the roosting, laying and feed- do ing room. When the ground is not mi frozen they are fed outside. The Saltx f1 room is the sitting-room or hatchery. op It is often used for other purposes. For an instance as soon as cold weather came, trc we put in three stolen broods about ha a quarter gown. It was a nice place th, for them and they were better separat- ca ed from the rest. The outside door of this sitting-room opens into a yard. 10 15x24 feet, closed by pickets. So when g a few cockerels are kept over to be slaughtered for the table, the hatch ing-room and yard make a convenient place for them. The upper floor is divided into the same sized rooms as those below. The large one is used in winter for what might be called a calisthenic gallery or exercising room. An inch or more of sawdust covers the floor. If "'tailings" are fed, some are scattered on the sawdust. Ear corn is usually kept on the floor all the time T. for the hens to pick at. They seem in to enjoy themselves scratching in th the sawdust. During. summer the hens use it more or less to lay in, a few li loose boxes with nest eggs being placed v around the sides. The 8x16 room above is used as a storeroom and in winter is a good place to jail broody hens.

There are absolutely no lice in my chicken-house, and the liens keep 1 themselves free from body lice by dust ing. Neitheris there any leg scale dis- t ease among my fowls, nor have they i ever had cholera. My argument in brief is a perfectly dry dirt floor, plen ty of room and plenty of dust. 1 never I set hens until June and want the chick ens hatched in July. Hot weather is f just the thing for them. At five months t old the pullets are laying and continue to lay throughout the winter. The profit is in the eggs. TIMELY SUGGESTIONS. How Roads Can Is Mlade Good In a Feu Years. Good roads can be made in the fol lowing manner: G(rade them to about two feet in the center; cut a ditch on each side of road: put tile in it large enough to carry water from same: cut your ditch not over two feet. deep; have a good outlet for your tile and your road will be dry. Now haul sand, gravel or crushed stone, whichever is the netlrest to your roan1 Hlaul two loads on top of tach other. Leave half of road bare so people can drive on it when weather is dry. W\here there is sand or gravel within five nmiles of the road it can be put on at small expense. Fonr mills on eve-ry dollar of valuation for five years will t pay for it, or twenty milJs in all: four mills on the dollxr the farmer would not feel very much. and in five years he would have all good roads. k iet every landowner or taxpayer i, haul at the rate of SI.t Ja day for team If and driver in summer and autumn, p when the roads are dry. say three a weeks and three loads a day, and in e fvre years all roads will be good. T~et those who have no teams pay for their hauling.--C.. L. Mcinzer, in Farm, Field and Fireside. AMONG THE POULTRY. PortlTnv should have plenty ,tf grit They cannot grind thelr food without it. WHEN fattening fosvls do not let them run with the fol.s I that are not fattening. SKEEP the hens wartn at night. if you wish theln to lay, and do unot crosvd them. ONCE in awhile stir a spoonful of sulphur into the feed. It tones up the system. IF the hens show a disposition to get too fat., with proper feeding, fatten them to the full exteslt and eat or mar ket them. AN exchangs says that charcoal t" a good fattening food for turlke"s. hr_ is good only because it helps diges-S.n and absorbs the gases. Charcon. is fierst--rte for fowls, but in itself it ha-s no fattening prc-perties. - Farmer's Voice. Cl edes i'etrcenm o, Roosts. Crude petroleum should he applied to the roostr. occasionally, in order to guard against lice. During the few C. warm days that are li-able to ocuenr in winter, with the animal heat of the bodies of the hens, the house will sometimes be warm enough to enable at lice to work. Kerosene is irritating to the feet of the fowls. and for that Sreason we suggest the use of crude P Stroleum instead.

The stables a:e 4 on each ead- and ran crosswise. tte~ a building The cow stable is 15 feet of wide, 86 feet lpng and 1 feet high. di- nu vided into ? stalls 8 feet 9 hinhes wide and a box stall 9 feet a"inches wide. Wi The stalls are just long enough to keep nmt the animals' heads apart. The cattle GU are fastened with chains around the cil neck. We feed them from the barn floor; the grpin and mill feed being fed th, through doors, lx1) feet- near the Soor, w] directly into the trough which runs the tic whole length of the stable (except a to door at each end of cow stable to per- ter mit passage between stable and barn floor). The trough is partitioned off for opposite each stal. We feed the hay th and fodder.in a rack directly over the co trough, the small holes at the bottom having slide doors and the opening to , the rack falling doors, so the stable b can be closed entirely in front. The floor is first filled with dirt 8 or 10 inches deep and then with stone and gravel, 8 inches deep, well tamped. all Cc LAROE FAnM BARN. The manure gutter is 16 inches wide, 68 c inches deep at one end, and 8 inches at a the other end, with a conducting spout at running to the manure pile, where the , liquid manure can be run into a reser voir if needed. The gutter is covered C with strips of strong timber 1x134 inch- of es, and placed 1,14 inches apart. They bi are made into doors opposite each stall so that they can be raised up to be cleaned. There is also a board, 10 h2 inches wide, nailed on the side of the E gutter, under the hind feet of the ani mals, thus making the gutter, or drain. age rather, really 26 inches wide. This kind of gutter has many advantages over the open drain. The cows are kept as clean as possible, we think; w and there is no danger of a cow, heavy t1 with calf, being injured by stepping backward into the ditch. The ditch st receives all the water and a great deal q of the manure, which is tramped' a through; and it can be cleaned out a every other day. ir The horse stable is 17 feet wide and at .3 feet long and 8 feet high, di-. e vided into five 5-foot stalls and one box stall. The floor is graded so as to n slope back behind the middle of the u stall into a shallow gutter. They are s, all fed from the barn floor. C The barn floor is 18 feet wide, 36 feet it long, and 14 feet high to loft. It is ' laid double: the floors overhead are el single. There is a platform 8 feet high tl running across the rear end of the' , floor. Under this platform at one end is the cistern; at the other end are the stairs to the loft. Under the middle of the platform is a door 10 feet wide to g drive out at, and on top of the platform to 1 is another door 10 feet wide forguU.,' I the straw out of thq- 'uarn. The machine dro.

To TMa.ter It ItCUIPre Illstelljigence an bard work. n It seems poor economy for farmers n to attempt to pose as breeders and es Y tablish a herd of thoroughbreds on the II simple knowledge of how to feed hogs ir for market, yet hundreds of men are Id doing it annually. As a rule, unless rs they are men who have that spirit in them that will not submit to a failure, er tlhey generally retire from the business m the second year. To become a n. breeder means more now than it did e years ago, says the Swine Hireeder. in The business has advanced, it is out of et sight of the time in which the owner ir ship of a pig sired by a prize winner Id signified the breeding of fine stock. To do this a knowledge of the entire science is necessrary. One must know pedigree, the standard, feeding and management, and these he must know, not as his forefathers, but fully up to ut the advanced knowledge of the active men of to-day. The signs of the time et in everything point towards a record. ot In the breeding ring as In the speed ring. to be a suneeess one must have a if record and tlhat record must mark vd high. The best records in the speed ring are made in front of the pneu of matic sulkies. Thie best records in the he breeding ring are made by those who employ every means to obtain knowl -t edge: no one can to-day make much n proercss in the science of breed unless ar- hIe takes advantage of all means that are now offered for studytng the busi a ness and.acquiring the work of the is past years, and upon that foundation n build up a business that will be in har is mony wvith the standard and progress as of the times. rs eoaomy In Peeding.
