THE CARE OF POULTRY,
Dominion Experimental Farm au-
thorities declare that probably in no
briineh of poultry keeping has great-
er progress beenmade than in the
housing of the flock. This is well
to know ima important, :for in. no di-
rection more than in proper housing
does the saccessaul keeping of pouf -
try lie. In ordea that nobeay may go
ignorant of the kind of housing re-
quired and to 'supply' information re-
garding the ' besi,. methods of con-
struction, the Division of Poultry a
the Experiniental • Farms at Ottawa.
has issued a revised edition of a bul-
letin on Poultry House Construction,
the author of which is Mr. Fe C. El-
ford, Dominion Poultry. Husbandmaa.
The bulletin has been prepared with
great care, with consideration of
climatic .contations, and with. the ale
view to practical usefulness • and
economical methods.: It is based on
trials -of many :kinds in different
parts •-of •Canada, treats. clearly end
comprehensively of its eabject and
supplies plans, building instructions,
specifications and diagrams. , It is
well to remember that, as the bolle-
tin suggests, poultry houseneed not
be elaborate, but they should be con-
structed so as to make the fowl am-
.
ratable in every month of the year.
Row best to accomplish this the bul.

move all aon-infeetel animals to non-

Best Methods In Preservation of
Hay.
In a season of labor scarcity hay-
ing is a problem on the average
farm. It is uecessary to make use of
all the modern machinery evallable
in order to expedite the saving of
this important crop. Fire, then, we
must emphasize the use or machin-
ery in curing and storing. Men are
not to be had In plentiful - supply, but,
in most cases some form of co-oper.
ation may be resorted to In order to
obtain the use of tedders, hay load-
ers and horse forks to handle the
bulk of the et -op. By all means plaa
to use machinery in place of men
this year or otherwise considerable
of the crop will not be harvested in
the best possible condition.
It is usually safe to cut after a
min When the weather appears to
hioe cleared. Red clover should be
cut when about one-third of the
heads have turned brown. The ted -
'der should then be used until the
erop is dry enough to rake -a period
winch will vary accordiug to the
weight of the cutting, tbe weather
and the amount of sap in the static.
Gather with a side•delivery rake if
possible, or in small windrows with
an ordinary dump rake, The bay
loader works best with a small wind-
row. By all means use•a loader it
possible and to facilitate matters a.
sliding rack may be used so that
when one-half the rack Is loaded It
may be pulled ahead and the re-
mainder loaded, in a pinch this will
save a man. The horse fork encl.
81111g8 save much time in unloading.
We mention red clover because it
fs the commonest and most satisfac-
tory hay crop, and is used In al/
general farming hay mixtures.
Timothy should be cut either 'after
it Is out of the first blossom or after
the second blossom has fallen -gen-
erally the latter. It will require less
teddIng than clover, is more easily
cumcl, and may be drawn in sooner
after cutting. Do not let it get too
ripe and woody.
Alfalfa should be cut when the
Young shoots are noticed starting
out front the exile, of the lower
leaves on the stalks, and should be
handled much like rod clover, only'
greater care is necessary to preserve
the leaves, a very valuable portion
the plauts.-Wade Toole, 0. h..
