The illustration given is for a poultry
house 10 by 10 and 'S feet high. The
length of this can bo extended indefi
nitely if desired. If this size house is
built of common dressed boards, with
three battens on the outside and Nepon-
set roofing paper fastened on with laths
on the inside and the slanting front, as
shown, covered with shingles, the cost
of material would not exceed $15.
In very stormy weather or when the
sun is shining very brightly it would
be well to have a curtain of this roofing
paper arranged to roll down over the
window.

May riatclied Chlclis.
Years ago, when I used to buy a good
any eggs for hatching iu the north
id oast, I was imbued with that old
gy idea that still clings to some that
ay hatched chickens were inferior to
iose hatched earlier in the season,
ence I used to place my orders in
arch, with instructions to ship as
iriy as possible; that I wanted Apr,I
itched chickens. One man that I dis-
netly remember, a breeder at Water-
iet, Mich., wrote me in reply that
ev still had winter up there, that his
lickens were all housed and that Ik*
mid not guarantee his eggs to hatch
tisfactorily so early in the season, i
id him to hold the order and to ship
hen he thought I would g<k best re
fits from the eggs. He did so. The
;gs were set the latter part of April,
id I got the best batch I ever bad
om shipped eggs and raised every
ie of the chickens too.
On two or three other occasions 1
night eggs from a leading breeder of
bite Leghorns in New York state and
ged early shipment, and in each case
was advised to wait until later before
e eggs should be shipped. But I
anted the eggs, and so they were for-
arded against the judgment of the
fipper and with indifferent hatches
o.
So after a time I came to know by
perienco that for a sure hatch and a
rifty. quick growing chicken the May
tter and the May chicken were the
rest.
May is the natural hatching month
the birds and the wild fowl. They
*st and hatch after the trees have
ifed out and the surface of the earth
is been warmed up generally by the
it's genial rays and the insect lifa
rakened as well. Without the latter
e mother bird could not provide food
r her young; therefore, animated by
itural instincts, she awaits the call of
iture before nesting. She knows that
e leafless trees and the barren, brown
rth would afford her no subsistence
r her young.

Dlnarnuets to Snecess.
Many a man with great brain power
and fine physique who started in life
with good prospects has failed to attain
great success because of little idiosyn
crasies, peculiarities o? speech or man
ner, things not in themselves vicious or
wrong, but which render him disagree
able or unacceptable to those who have
dealings with him.
If it were possible for us to write of
all the little things which have c-ut
down the average of our success and
to calculate just how much each has
contributed io the whole, it would be
most helpful.
For example, one young nan’s ad
vancement has been cut dov-n 25 per
cent by bad temper, a surly, disagree
able disposition; another’s by careless
ness in dress, an unkempt or slovenly
appearance, and yet another’s by a
sharp tongue or an unkind habit of
criticising.
Many a brilliant and capable stenog
rapher has failed to advance because
she had disagreeable habits that annoy
ed her employer, who, while he recog
nized her ability, preferred a less able
stenographer who had amiable and
agreeable qualities. The lack of amia
bility has stood in the way of ad vance
ment of many an employee who won
dered why lie did not get along.—Suc
cess.
The Ear.
As delicate as the organ of vision is
that of hearing, and as careful a watch
should be kept upon it, so that no loss
of that more exquisite sense may oc
cur.
When several blind persons were
questioned as to which they wouid
rather do without, their visual organs
or those of hearing, the majority de
clared in favor of hearing. We fed a
compassion for the blind; for the deaf
we are not often sympathetic. The
spectacle of a sightless individual
touches us to tears; that of one who
cannot hear provokes almost a feeling
of drollery. Yet no doubt the loss of
one organ is as pathetic a thing as the
loss of the other.
Many erroneous Ideas still exist In
the public mind that interfere seriously
with the work of the skilled aurist.
Too many people think that the ear is
so delicate an organ that nothing
whatever can be dene to alleviate any
distress arising therein and allow a
trivial disorder that might be rectified
by an aurist to bring about a ease of
partial deafness that settles into per
maneney.
Food For Ducklings.
Ducks will be cleaner in plumage if
water is at band after they are old
enough to be permitted to run at lei
sure and enjoy their daily swim. They
will grow rapidly by feeding with
green food, grain, flesh and garbage.
Water insects and fish they like. For
young ducklings, a cooked mash of
turnips or potatoes, or both, with one-
third meal or wheat screenings and
one-third of animal meal, three times
a day till three weeks old. Is excellent.
They are fond of fresh fish, and any
kind of ordinary food is devoured by
them readily and is easily digested.
Grass, herbage, a run upon an old pas
ture. all conduce to their thrift, and if
kept away from the water until over a
month old almost every 'duckling may
be raised and fattened for market. If
in the early days they can have skim-
milk with their soft food, it will be a
great advantage. - American Stock
Keeper.
Doesn’t Feed Boiled Eggs.
I find one of the very best foods for
little turkeys is raw eggs. I discovered
it by accident, but wondered afterward
why I had not reasoned it out before,
jjjp-gs raw are natural food for little
turkeys and chicks as well. It is to
them what milk is to the infant. I
wonder that so many recommend hard
boiled eggs after years’ of trial and
even admitting they do not succeed
well in raising turkeys. Hard boiled
eg <r S especially the whites, are very in
digestible food for the strongest per
sons. and think of giving them to any
thing so tender as a baby turkey'-Mrs.
Mackey in Poultry Journal.

Arrangement of a Hive For tlie Pro
duction of Comb Honey.
The illustration, originally presented
in The Farmer’s Advocate, shows the
system of comb honey production fol
lowed by a successful Canadian apia
rian, tlie principal points of which are
as follows:
1 represents the cover, beneath which
is a cushion two inches thick of soft,
fine hay, and beneath this is a cotton
cloth of hard white cotton duck, which
rests on the sections.
2. 2, are section supers, one-quarter
inch deeper than the sections used.

COMB IION’EY HIVE.
Mr. Pettit’s are seventeen and one-
eighth inches square, inside measure
ment, each holding thirty-six sections.
3, queen bar of excluder, which cov
ers the brood chamber, admitting only
worker bees to the supers.
4, brood chamber.
5, wedges of wood one inch deep in
front, gradually tapering to a point at
the back. These are used iu summer to
allow ventilation, and they also raise
the front of the hive so as to induce
the bees to go up the sidewalls of the
hive aud the brood combs near the
back of the hive.
G, floor projects throe and a half inch
es In front of the brood chamber.
7, 7, stand of two six inch boards and
two seven inch. This rests on bricks,
as shown.
8, comb honey supers, same as 2.
9, 9, divider set on two of the sides of
the super, as shown in position. It is
one-eightli of an inch thick and has
three-eighth Inch holes, through which
the bees pass to the sections.
10, section in position, resting on T
tins 12 and against a divider. The sec
tion is filled with light foundation of
good quality within three-sixteenths of
an inch of the bottom. With sections
fitted with foundation in this way the
bees fill them evenly.
11, bee space of five-sixteenths of an
inch, created by six blocks numbered
13 on divider No. 9. The advantage of
this extra bee space at the sides of the
super is to allow for a double quantity
of bees to keep up necessary animal
heat, which is advantageous to the fiu-
nshing up and capping the combs in
the sections.

A Convenient Assorting Table.
The cut, from Ohio Farmer, shows
an assorting table for fruit or roots,
which is about 3 by 12 feet and nearly
AN ASSORTING TABLE.
3 feet high, with a four inch rim all
around so as to hold about six bushels
of apples or potatoes and bring them
right up so that the men can stand up
straight in sorting. Speaking of as
sorting potatoes in the-cellar, a corre
spondent says iu reference to this ta
ble: With a wire scoop shovel we
scoop them up from the cement bot
tomed cellar, leaving all dirt and dust
on the floor to be swept up and taken
out. The table stands in a good light,
and the sorting is far more rapid, easy
and accurate than when you kneel
down and sort from the big pile. The
legs should be well braced both length
wise and crosswise. We have two of
these tables, and they are a great help
and a great saving of back ache and
knee ache in assorting several thou
sand bushels of apples and potatoes In
the course of a year.
Tlie Cornstalk Disease Again.
The stalk feeding season leads Iowa
Homestead to comment on the corn
stalk disease, with the following sum
ming up of the situation: “All the theo
ries of disease heretofore propounded
fail to work out and explain the cases
that are found iu practice, and they
are consequently worthless. It is one of
the diseases of which as yet we can
only say we don’t know what causes
them. Deaths occur in some fields and
none in others. Corn fodder that is
cut up and fed in that form has never
caused a case of stalk disease so far
as we know. If one will turn cattle
into stalkfields, he must take the risk
as to results, for no prevention is
known, and no cure has been discover
ed for the disease when it once attacks
an animal.”

Charles Forster of New York says
that western boxed red apples bring

An Expert Tells Wliy He Given Poul
try Soft Food In tlie Evening.
In my effort lo obtain results which
seemed to me satisfactory 1 have en
deavored to imitate nature as far as
my limited knowledge gave me a eon-
i eeption of her methods and to improve
on them where, iu my judgment, im
provement was possible.
In observing wild birds it has seemed
to me that they hunt food about ail
day long, and in my fancy I have
pictured them as often going to their
roosts at night with their hunger but
partly appeased.
Fowls will not exercise for the sake
j of exercise. Given a full crop and they
; will doze until hunger prompts them to
! move. This has been my experience
; and the experience of ail with whom
! I have conversed on the subject. Given
! a mash in the morning they apparently
| do not see the grain thrown in litter
! for them to scratch for.
j With my first lot of fowls I followed
the beaten paths given in poultry lit
erature of the day and fed “all they
would clean up quickly” of mash in
the morning as instructed. “All they
would cleafl up quickly” bothered nit
a bit, for 1 found their appetites t<
vary considerably, a pen of 12 fowls
cleaning up anywhere from one to six
pounds, so that when making the mash
I was at a loss to know how much
meal to use. The noonday meal of
grain scattered in litter seldom interest
ed them, and their scratching was spas
modic and rare. I changed the bill of
fare and fed them mash for the noon
meal and after awhile secured exercise
In the forenoon. Another change, and
mash was fed at night and by this
method was secured constant exercise
throughout the day. This seems to me
more in line with and perhaps an im
provement on nature’s way. A care-
ful sprinkling of small quantities of
grain in deep litter during the day imi
tates nature in that it compels the
fowls to seek for their food grain by
grain, while the feeding of mash at
night is the improvement on nature’s
way, which insures a full crop daily
just before going to roost. I prefer
mash to grain at night because it di
gests quicker, bringing birds from the
roosts the next morning with a sharp
ened appetite, while a full grain feed is
often but partly digested in the morn
ing. One night an accidental dropping
of grain after they had eaten all they
would of mash surprised me by caus
ing the fowls to jump for it greedily.
I thought it over and the next night fed
about half of the quantity they clean
ed up the night before, then gave an
other portion and a third, with about
ten minutes’ interval between each, and
noted they ate fully cnc-half more in
this way. Since then 1 have repeatedly
tried feeding them at once the full
quantity they* ate the night before, but
I never had them finish it. In short, by
feeding small quantities at a time I was
coaxing them to eat more than they
otherwise would. In theory, as in fact,
I have never been able to see any
thing but improvement in results as a
consequence of this method of feeding
night mash, and it has always obtained
here since.—A. J. Silberstein in Reli
able Poultry Journal.

A Common Mintitke.
It. is a mistake to undertake to breed
too many varieties. I have made and
am making that mistake. The result is
that 1 have been obliged to spend near
ly $5,000 for buildings and appliances
to properly house and separate so many
birds. So much capital cannot profita
bly be Invested in breeding varieties
tha-t may be classed as belonging strict
ly to those that appeal to the fancy
without regard to utility. If you can
afford it, keep as many varieties of
bantams as you-like, but do not ex
pect “immense profits,” for they are
not to be made in that way. I speak
from experience, for while I sell every
year a very large number of birds at
good prices I still have to consider my
chickens as a hobby, to be settled for
like other hobbies, out of tlie proceeds
of more serious and less attractive
business enterprises.—A. E. Blunck in
Poultry Monthly.
Cheap Birds.
Don’t imagine a bird is cheap simply
because you.got it at a low price. In
buying low priced stock knowledge and
observation are necessary. If a man
wishes to take chances on secondhand
clothing and considers he has secured
a bargain, while the rip up the back
escapes his notice, there is no law to
prevent him. But it always pays to
buy good goods, pay living prices and
remember .that the cheapest bird in
your yard may have cost you the lar
gest sum.
Bowel Trouble In Chicks.
Millions of chicks die of bowel trou
ble. In m,ost cases the cause is over
feeding and the same feed’ at every
meal. Do not feed until 36 hours old.
Feed oatmeal flakes for the first meal,
then when the crop is empty feed dry
bread crumbs, next cracked corn, then
millet and all kinds of cracked grain.
Give a different food at each meal and
never feed until the crops are empty.
Boiled milk and milk curd may be fed
every day. Free range should be given
every day and especially after the
fourth 'day.
