Herewith is shown a drawing made
from a rough pencil sketch drawn by
the writer showing a section of the
hallway in a poultry house, illustrating
the row of nest boxes with a conven
ient shelf underneath, also with the
feed troughs placed near a slat parti
tion between the nest boxes, through
which slats the fowls in the pens eat
and drink.
After each meal the troughs are re
moved for cleaning, and the water pan
is placed on the floor near the slats.

The eggs are gathered from the hall
way, and there is no-need to go into the
coops except to clean the droppings
board, renew tbe litter, etc. It is a
good plan to hang cloth curtains in
front of the opening of each nest box,
leaving a V shaped slat in each curtain
to admit enough light to the boxes to
invite the hen to enter, but not enough
to make it uncomfortable for the hen
or to induce egg eating. A hen likes a
darkened and secluded place in which
to lay eggs and will begin to lay earlier
in the season and will actually lay
more eggs in such a place than in an
open nest that is exposed to the light
and to every passerby.—Poultry Keep

A Formidable Meat.
Sometimes the names given to dif
ferent varieties of plants and vegeta
bles are confusing, not to say startling.
It sounds as if one had indulged in a
most aesthetic meal to say. "I have just
eaten an early rose.’’ I5ut when one
remembers that Early Rose is the name
of a popular variety of potato the aes
theticism vanishes. Potatoes seem to
be especially liable to have names be
stowed on them which have a most
“unedible” sound.
Two women out on a bicycle tour be
came hungry, and there was no inn in
sight, but there was a farmhouse near
by, and an old man was pottering about
in the adjacent potato patch. To him
they appealed for food. He promised
to do what he could, saying that, at
any rate, he could assure them of good
potatoes, as he had every variety in his
garden. The women enjoyed the meal
and especially commended the pota
toes.
“Yes,” said the farmer, “you have
rot done so badly. You have eaten two
Schoolmasters, two Blacksmiths, four
Kidneys and a couple of White Ele
phants.”

Breeding? Birds.
A bulletin on poultry raising issued
by the Montana experiment station
says:
In any flock, whether pure breed or
it is very desirable to select a
number of the best laying hens and
put them with the best male bird that
can be secured. In this manner any
flock can be improved, since the effect
of selection will certainly be felt on the
progeny. It is desirable to have the
male bird with the hens only during
the breeding season, as it has been
found by experiment that hens lay
more eggs without than with the male,
and is also a considerable advantage to
the eggs, since the chief cause of bad
eggs is the fact that the germ has
started and then decay sets in. Breed
ing birds should receive all the freedom
and exercise possible, and meat and
vegetable should form a large portion
of their diet. The vigor of the chick
depends largely upon the past history
of the parent bird, and in order to
secure the required vigor of the germ
the breeding stock should receive the
best treatment possible. The number
of hens to the cock Is a point in which
there may be considerable variation.
Where birds are enjoying their free
dom one male to from IS to 22 hens is
sufficient in the Mediterranean varie
ties. while in the Asiatics and Ameri
cans one to 12 or 1G should be the rule.
It must he kept In mind, however, that
the vigor of the male bird and the con
ditions under which fowls are kept
should be carefully considered, and
where birds are closely confined the
number of bens to the cock should be
considerably diminished, say a dozen
to 18 in the lighter breeds and 10 to 12
in the heavier breeds.
Three Ways.
An Englishman, an Irishman and a
Scotchman, making a tour around the
city a short time since, were observed
looking through a confectioner’s win
dow at a beautiful young woman serv
ing in the shop.
“Oh,” exclaimed Mr. Patrick, “do let
us be after spending half a crown with
the dear craytur, that we may look at
her convanieutly and have a bit of chat
wid her.”
“Yon extravagant dog,” said Mr. Bull.
“I’m sure one-half of the money will
be sufficient. But let us go in, by all
means. She’s a charming girl.”
“Ah, wait a wee,” interposed Mr.
McAndrew. “Dinna ye ken it’ll serve
our purpose equally weel just to ask
the bounie lassie to gie us twa six
pences for a shilling and inquire
where’s Mr. Toompson’s house and sic
like. We’re no hungry and may as
weel save the siller.” — Birmingham

A Lake’) Jawhreaklng Name.
j The town of Webster, Mass., has al-
j ways been proud of the beautiful little
i lake within its limits, but never boast
ed of the jawbreaking name by which
it is known. The lake has the longest
and most unpronounceable name of
any in the world, and residents and
visitors who pass the summer on its
shores and islands are quietly suggest
ing a substitute for the unwieldy In
dian term which for many years has
been applied to this body of water.
The full name of the lake is Chargog-
gagoggraanchogagoggagungamaug, but
the residents have contracted It to
Chaubunagungamaug.—Engineer.
Origin of Ice Cream Soda.
According to a Wisconsin legend, ice
cream soda had its origin in Milwau
kee, the town that made lager beer fa
mous. A confectioner whose trade was
among the wealthy used to make a
good, rich soda water by adding to it,
when drawn, pure cream. His trade
rapidly increased, and one night when
he had a crowd to serve he ran out of
cream. In desperation he used a small
quantity of ice cream to give the drink
the proper rich consistency, and what
resulted is history.—Beverages.

fungous Troubles end Remedies.
Points of Bean Growing.
Even the humble garden beans are
not exempt from fungous enemies
which have so asserted themselves as
to become troublesome to the growers
of this useful vegetable. Since 1S94
the New Jersey station has been study
ing diseases of truck crops, and beans
have received a full share of attention.
In bulletin 151 seven fungous diseases
of beans are considered, namely:
1. The anthracncse or pod spot. 2.
The bean bacteriosis. 3. The lima bean
mildew. 4. The lima bean pod blight.
5. The bean rust. 6. The bean leaf
spot. 7. The bean leaf blotch.
All of these were met with in the
field studies of the diseases, but the
first three, being the most common and
serious enemies, have been tbe subjects
for special treatment.
The bean seed is often infested with
the anthracnose and becomes thereby
ANTHKACNOSED BEAN PODS.
a prominent, if not the chief, means of
tiding over the inactive or winter sea
son. The same is doubtless true with
bacteriosis.
It has been shown that soaking the
seed in fungicides, while destructive to
the fungus, is not always without ill
effect upon the seed itself. Experi
ments differ upon this point, and fur
ther investigations are here needed.
There is only one opinion as to the
desirability of discarding all diseased
seed before planting and using only
that which is mature and healthy.
This is strongly urged.
It has been demonstrated through
seven consecutive years of beans upon
the same land, two crops each season,
that the anthracnose is checked by
fungicides. The same is true of the
bacteriosis. The bordeaux mixture has
proved of substantial value as a rem
edy for bean mildew.
While the experimental sprayings
have been at intervals of ten days, it
is not recommended that they be more
than three in number for the ordinary
wax sorts. For pole varieties or any
that require the whole season spray
ings once in three weeks would per
haps be most profitable, and yet the
distribution of the drenching rains
should determine the times of the ap
plications.
It was shown that old spotted pods
when used as mulch greatly increased
the disease upon the area thus covered.
All such refuse, whether of pods or
stems and leaves, should be burned.
A rotation of crops is desirable from
the standpoint of freedom from dis
ease, hut it has been demonstrated
that with frequent spraying beans may
be grown with profit indefinitely upon
the same land.
The leading points in bean growing
are: First, to have strong, healthy seed
of the least susceptible growing; sec
ond, planted not too close or deep;
third, in rich, well drained soil, and
fourth, spray with bordeaux or its
equal, soda bordeaux, at three week
intervals. To this is added the not less
PODS WITH BACTEKIOSIS.
Important point of burning all the ref
use of the field as soon as possible aft
er the crop is harvested.
These experiments indicated that no
distance Is superior to six inches in the
row for bush beans of the golden wax
sorts when the rows are 20 inches
apart, but it should be stated that less
space is required in the second than in
the first planting of any season.

k Few Practical Snggeatlong From a
Successful Breeder.
The question confronting most poul
try raisers at present is, “How can I
manage my turkeys so as to reduce the
death rate of my young flock?” First
of all the breeders must be healthy,
Strong, vigorous and well mated bis*ds.
without which you can only expect
weakly poults. I have hatched turkeys
both by chicken and turkey hens, and
of course those with tbe-natural moth
ers grow faster, but I prefer the chick
en hen, as the chicken always comes
home to roost, and the turkey roosts
wherever night may overtake her. The
poults are always tamer with chicken
mothers, as a turkey hen Is always sliy
when with the young and is apt to cul
tivate the already wild nature in the
young by her shyness and, not having
a certain place to roost, cultivates bad
habits in the poults. When the poults
are hatched, if by turkey and she is not
cross, remove poults as soon as batched
to give room for hatching eggs, but if ^
cross let her alone, as she will only i &
trample and kill the young. When the ♦
hen is through hatching, give her a
reasonable number only and place her
in a clean coop on high, dry ground and
make a small yard for poults, so that
they cannot stray away from the moth
er for about three days or until they
learn to follow. Grease the mother hen
on breast and under the wings and
grease the poults on heads to kill lice,
if any. Five drops of carbolic acid to
a heaping teaspoonful of grease is sure
death, but care should be exercised not
to be too liberal with the grease, for too
much is also death to the poults. Al
ways look out for lice on neck, vents
and quill feathers in wing, using the
above carbolic acid and grease every
two weeks on quill feathers on top of
wing. A liberal supply here will uot
hurt. Remember that niue-tenths of
the young die from lice and overfeed.
Cleanliness is also very essential in
raising. No filth whatever should be
allowed to accumulate.
Young poults should no.t be fed for 36
hours after hatching; then give plenty
of sweet milk in such a manner as
they can wet the beaks merely (turkeys
will live and thrive on sweet milk like
kittens) and well cooked corn bread
soaked in sweet milk and squeezed
dry. Mix enough for one meal only,
as turkeys do not want any sour okl
feed. Milk curd, oat groat, millet seed
and onion tops are also excellent. Be
careful and not overfeed, as it is
great deal worse than to underfeed.
More turkeys die because they have
too much to eat rather than not
enough. When allowed free range,
they will pick up all feed necessary
and therefore only need enough to
make them appreciate home and be
gentle. Avoid all dampness, as it is
nearly always fatal. High, dry and
clean quarters, free from lice, with
sunshine for a tonic and not too much
feed will always raise good, healthy
turkeys—Wood!awn Poultry Yards.

Feeding Lltile Chicks.
It seems to matter little what kind of
food we give as long as it is rich in the
elements of growth and the chicks keep
in- the right condition—in fact, we
ought to feed as much of a variety as
possible. I am feeding my brooder
chicks this season oatmeal the first few
days and raw cornmeai with about
one-eighth part animal meal mixed
with a little cold water and lots of
hard boiled eggs. I had several hun
dred infertile eggs, and they make fine
food for chicks if one is careful not to
feed enough to constipate them. With
hens I have to omit the oatmeal, for,
although it is the best food for chicks,
it is too expensive food for even the
chicks after 4 days old, and some moth
er hens eat more than the chicks. I
have generally fed bread soaked in wa
ter or milk when it could be had, mix
ing in chopped boiled eggs, animal and
Indian meal at times, for the first few
days and baked corn cakes crumbled
fine.—Hiu Crank In Poultry Monthly.
