late fall, it will pay beet to sell
twenty-five bird's and ttse the looney to
feed the remainder, rather than over-
crowd then all.
When building roosts in the fall it
pays to remember that the birds
crowd together on cool nights and do
not seem to need so muds room, how-
ever, if a night becomes warm they
will spread out on the roosts and they
need the .room for health and comfort,
Calculate the roosting ,pace ,in •the
poultry louse on the basis of a ;tot
summer night, Then at all seasons'
the hens will have plenty of room.
About four hens per nest le et satis-
factory number in the poultry 'house,
If the nests are scarce the birds will
crowd togebhee or hide their nests in
the litter on the floor or on the range.
Build pests so that there will be xoom
enough on a nest for one hon, but not
room enough for two. Two hens the
apt to oronvd together on an over•,{zo
nest and the quarrelling may result in
broken eggs.
Overcrowding reuses the birds to
become heated and then they catch
cold when coming from the roost on a
cold morning. When young stock arae
housed in colony houses or brood
'coops they- will be injured lay over-
crowding. Brood coops should not be
used for chicles that have been weaned,
They do much hatter when roosting
in 001011y Houses where they cannot
crowed together.

What Kind of Worker Are You?
There are two kinds of world on a
farm—that which is necessary and
well worth while, and that which is
unnecessary and from which there is
no gain.
Which kind of et worker are you?
The fact that you are busy twelve or
fifteen hears a day does not always
mean that you are a good farmer.
Perhaps ,it would be better for you to
spend just half that time at real labor,
and the other half, which is thrown
away in aimless or ill -planned weds,
in saving up your vitality and fitting
yourself mentally not only to do bet-
ter world, but to enjoy your falai and
wont .
There are men and women who be-
lieve that in order to be a good fann-
er, they must make work animals of
themselves. They have no time for
their family or friends, are 'blind and
deaf to the wonderful outdoor life
•Ivhicit it is their privilege to rive.
These follce do not own their farms,
but rather the farms owl1 them. There
aero other fol'k's who use brain. as well
ars brawn, 'are mashers of their work
instead' of slaves to it, and make more
fronn 'one acre of ground than another
makes from eve acres with five tines
the amount of work.
The trouble with e great many fonts
tis that they practically loaf from
November to April, and then wear
themselves to the bene during crena
0600011 111 doing s thousand and one
jobs that should have been done in
the winter. On a properly conducted
farm when ss d pl 013031• tin10 arrives,
inhere are noonc,es to build, no sheds
to eo�7or, no farm machinery to re-
pair, no ground to turn that ootld
have been turned earlier, no ditches
to Out, no duras to build.
"There is a taime for all things," is
an old adage that many of our farm-
1's would do well to make their'
slogan. That lh great amount -of hard
lab.,e is necessary no oro ";rho 1144
