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. its tU fill SSl fcl Hi] ji iii' | i! ijlti Iiflt j!# 1 life IX rOULTIlY HOUSE OF THE CHOUGH BEOTH- EES, GKOYELAXD, HASS. 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 er. 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.” not, 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 Mercury. 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. To Grow Citrus r ruir.

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.

B.McMaster, Druggist. 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.

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.
