C. T. We are planning,to build a poultry house 14x45 feet, eked,. roof type. As it emote se much to build, iyould like to get the right'idea . on how to build. Do you ethink a shed roof type practical? How would you arrange the curtain awe in front to be twice the area of' glass?' 'The house igi to be four feet bi the rear and eight feet in front, on about an eight -inch wail, Are dirt floors prac- tical where it is filled in to the top of about an eight -inch wall? Would that size. of cop house two hundred Leghorn hens? Now would you ar- range roosts to be out of draughts with se mile; -open space? • The shed -roof type of poultry house is practical and is used exten- sively 'by experienced poultrymen. It is high enough in front to petrnit the operator to work inside with ease, and all of the melting anows and rains drain off at the rear. This prevente much of the mutt and water ,in front of the house where the birda walk. It is more simple to build than other Styles of houseand most farmeth can constract them without -the help of. a skilled carpenter. And tidier costs money. A practical plan is to allow a square foot of glass to, sixteen square feet of flodr spaee and a square foot of muslin curtain to each eight feet of floor space. They' night be arranged In each laying house or section of a laying house. We do not like dirt floors in a poultry house unless the dirt is sand. Garden -loam becomes verse dry and dusty in a poultry house' and the scratching a the bids fills the house with ,dust, making it unhealthy both for the birds and the poultryman who must work in the house. A cement floor covered with a couple of inches of sand malses a fine floor. If the walls are of cement to keep but rats and furnish a firm foundation, a good floor might be made all of sand. In that case it should be filled in early In the Summer so that it can dry out thoroughly before fall. If a house is damp 'because of a damp floor it .is apt -to result in colds and roup during the fall and winter. A 14x16 house would be satisfactory but that only gives an area of 630 equare feet. We believe that 200 Leg- aorns will do better if they have four square feet per bird or 800 square feet.. We would build the house 20x40 and divide it in the middle twii sec- tions, each20x20. The partition would help to keep the house warmer in the winter and the door between the two sections could be left open in the sum- mer when more air is needed. When a house is twenty feet deep the birds roost at the back of the house, far enough for the open front so they are not touched by draughts. We would never wish to build a house less than fourteen feet deep because the birds would have to roost too close to no windows. And we believe that a house twenty feet deep is more sat- isfactory than the fourteen -foot depth. At the bask of the house a rooting platform can be constructed. Roosts can bo made of two -by -three pieces with the upper edges rounded. Nail these roosts in sections of three each and hinge the seitions to the back wall of the house. Then they can be raised and hooked to the ceiling when the dreping 'boards need scraping.. The nests can he built in por-table sec- tions which can be placed against the side walls of the house. A 18 C's of Sheep Raising. Age of sheep can be told by the teeth, A yearling has two !broad teeth In centre of front of lower jaw. Two years old, four broad teeth; tlfree years old, six broad teeth. Buildings for .sheep need not be expensive. A shed open to the south is enough shelter, except in severe weather. Castrate larnbs when from eight to sixteen days old, Cut off the end of the scrotum to permit drainage. Re- move teeticles quielly, but not rough-, ly. Doelted lambs sell boot. Docking is best done at the Rime time la-mbs nee Ostrated. Remove the tail about an inch from the body, using e sharp knife or hot .pincers, s Ewes -carry their lambs 152 days. Before breeding, elip,ithe wool close around the -docks Keep an accurate breeding record., " Flush the ewes, by giving extra feed or better pasture, about ten days •beforn turning the ram with them, This means a higher pereentege of, twins. Grub in -the, head can. be controlled ,by erfearingsthe 'theOp'e notes with a pine tar durifig summer months. Put tar in the; salt boa,. • Hurdles mean more sheep to the acre. Hurdleare light, movable pans els of fence used for making thmPar- ary enclosures. • Indigestion in • young • lambe is shown by gteat distress and Ivotlf- ing at the -militia A tablespoonfulof castor 'oil is" a good rernestlY. Judge sheep closely. Look for straight top -line and under -line; low - set Yoder; deep even covering of firni flesh; short, thick neck; well sprung ribs; bre:it...chest, back, loin, hips and ramp; even quality of dense wool., , • Kill stray dogs that worry the flock. The- present decline in sheep raising fs.due largely to the, menaee of stray dogs. Lamb creeps should be made through which Jambe can pass, but not the ewes. In the places thus set apart, feed the lambs grain. Market lambs at weaning time. If they are born in February or March, they will weigh sixty-five or seventy pounds at weaning. Lambs gain little in hot weather. Navel ill is, caused by dnfection through the umbilical cord.' Avoid trouble by disinfecting the cord with tincture of iodine. Overheating often kills sheep, An overheated sbeep becomes stiff. Carry it to a cool place and give four ounces of Epsom salts in water; also, a tea- spoonful of tincture of aconite. Pasture in abundance is necessary for sheep. Blue grass is a standard pasture ,everywtherem Clover and al- falfa are likely to .cause bloat Rape is splendid forage. Quit selling -wool in small lots. The thing to do is to combine and grade all the wool in a community, and hold a public auction. • Rams should not run with the ewes, e-xcept in btheding season. One ram, if running with ewes, will be'eufficient for from thirty-five to fifty ewes. Stomach -worms are combated as follow: Dissolve two ounces of blue - stone in one and one-half gallons of 'Water; give an ordinary -sized sheep tiro ounces of the liquid. Tie wool with hard glazed twine or paper wool twine. Binder twine is most objectionable. Rough, loose - woven twines of vegetable fibre are not desirable. Udders often become inflamed be- cause of bruises or inability of lambs to take,mille Treatment: paint once a day with tincture of iodine. Ventilate cassed sheep berns. Win- dow's =The opened for ventilation, provided burlap is hung over them to prevent drafts. s Woven wire makes a good fence for sheep. Set posts not moeethan twelve feet apart so, that the fence will not becoene slack. Top the fence with a barbed wire, or two. Xanthium is the name of the plant species known as cockleburs and clot. burs. These burs, if they get into fleeces, cause the wool to be unmarls- etable, or bring a low price. Get rid of these weeds in pastures. Young lambs are sometimes refused by their mothers. In such cases, smear some of the ewe's milk on the lamb's rump, the' place where she usually sniffs to indentify her lamb. Zygadenvis vehenosus, a poisonous plant commonly called death camas, poison sego, kills sheep. The weed is destroyed by'puttingthe land under cultivation. 1 Profit by Parcel Post. 'After four yeast of selling direct to consumers by mail, I have learned that the parceS-post system is one of the biggest boons that has ever some to country people, providing they use it intelligently. I have stIse diseover- ed that advertising pas% big profits, as I have used it extensively during the Past few years. I began selling by mail on a small scale et first, because I was a little dubious of its feasibility. But after my doubts were dispelled, I gradually added to my line of mail products. The mail plan of shipping saves me much expense in marketing; besides, I get better prices for iny goods by this inethed. If I sold my products to retailers I could not expect so much as consumers areavilling to pay. e'aly plan also saves consumers some money, as I can afford to eel for a little lees than retailerask for the Same product. • In addition th the money sating, consumers,have the ad- vantage hf, getting Strictly fresh goods that have tot laid around the store a few days before they are sold.

Dressed poultry alwhya Mange batter prices than •live -poultry, and during the holidays I reap a big harvest from my peoducts. Diming the late fall and early win- ter, dressed wild rabbit% are another source of Income to me, I have more orders for these than I can fill. Hiek- ory-nuts and butternuts are easily shipped by parcel -post, and I usually, sell all that I can gather. I never ex - pact to get rich from the sole of nuts, but the best part of their sale is that they are largely profit -- Attractively displayed and neatly poked wares, and the superior qual- ity of my goods, are my best adver- tisement, The repeat orders are the result of quality products neatly packed and shipped. They look ep- petizing to the consumer when he re- ceives them, and they taste Just as geed as they look. Some things, of course, can not be distribeted by parcel -post, but it peys to deal direct with everything that can be Welted by nutil.

There is tide fellow Who -is forever saying what he is going to cloa but never does it, And there is his broth- er who receives a nevridea with ut- most enthusiasm, but is so shallow that he cannot go on with it. But it must not be sup -posed that Chvist is for the strong only; the favored and the few. He has a place for the most unpromising', the weak, the outcast, if they will only act up to the limit of their strength and in- telligence. The poor' men who goes up to the temple and beats his breast, suing, "God be merciful unto me a s:nner," the widow who drops her mite into the treasury, for all such he has praise and promise.

Condensed Milks. • "Condensed milks have a distinct use in the flame and in the sink room" says a theent experiment statioh bul- letin. "When properly prepared they are more digestible than fresh cow's milk, a strong point in their favor. 'While they ean net be regarded as absolutely sterile, as the heat to which they are subjected is not necessarily -- high enough to kill all disease germs, they are probably more nearly sterile than sliest raw milk, and if properly kept after opening are less liable to •spoilage and decomposition. As an exclueive diet for young Oildren they can not be eecommended, because . of thole deficieney in fat. An unsweeten- • ed condensed milk properly diluted with water, and with cream end milk sugar added, Would offer a very satis- factory substitute for human milk:: The sweetened condensed milks are a good substitute for ogee and cream in coffee, if sugar is scarce. Welfare of the Home <mamma. Take Infinite Care to Guard Baby's Foca. There are a great many rules for feeding babies, particularly for the mother -who has to feed her baby from a bottle. Never ask your neighbor's advice. Always go to a doctor or nurse; find out just what you sbould feed your baby. Don't forget how to get good clean milk and -how to take care of it so it will stay so. Keep the bottles and nipples and everything that baby's milk touches perfectly clean by fre- quent boiling in salt water or borax water when not in use, If you must use a bottle for your baby, don't give him plain cow's milk. COVP8 111111f IS much stronger than mother's milk, and so too strong for a terlder baby's stomach. Cow's milk must always be modified or mixed visith water and ether things thlit the doctor will tell you about. Don't try to modify the milk yourself until a doctor or nurse has shown you how. You might do it wrong and doeyour baby a great deal of harm. If baby leaves a little milk in the bottle when he gets through feeding never save it for the next time. Never feed baby old milk Or milk that has stood after part of it has 'been used. It is very likely to make him sick because the tiny bacteria have bad a chance to grow in it. It is better to waste a little than to un the risk of wasting your baby-. ' Cleanliness Is Chief Need. Don't feed the baby cold'ipilk; re- member' that the milk that nature meant baby to take is as warm as your ovin bloo‘d, If his little stomach has to warm tte•milk up for ithelf it is pretty sure to be harmed by it. BM never stick your finger in -baby's milk to see if it is warm enough, Your finger may look perfectly clean, but remember those 1.ittle bacteria, too small to see without a magnifying glass. There may be thousands of them on a finger that looks perfectly clean. If you put them in baby's milk they will grow there very rapid- ly rind turn it to poison. And, worst of all, don't put the nipple of the bottle into your own month to see how warm the milk is. You can't tell what bacteria may be hitting in your mouth. You are grovvn up ancl strong and well. There may not be enough of them to do you any harm„. yet there inay be encogh of thete to kill your baby, especially veto they have a chance to grow in his milk. Besides, you may be com- ing down with . some disease that hasn't shown itself to you yet. Many a little one has taken consumption or diphtheria or some other deadlydis- ease h`orri me:melees mother et nurse Who hat insisted oit putting the nipple of baby's bottle into her own mouth.

Disregard Neighbor's Advice.. Never feed a baby condensed milk or patent foods unless a doctor orders you to. Here is another place where your neighbor's advice is dangerous. Remember no two babies are alike. One child may do well en what kills another. Then, too, many of these foods lack the animal matter that gives baby strength. Your baby may grow fat on them for a time, but does not grow as strong as he should. He is very likely to have rickets or scurvy if 'you feed him patent foods for a very long time. Don't give youv baby a taste of everything, as so many mothers do. Remember, his little stomach is meant for nothing but milk or water until he Is at least a year old. Ile should not get any solid food of any sort under that age, Don't give him any fruit, except a little orange juke when Ole doctor advises it, and don't give him that until niter he is six remits old. Here are some of the things I have known foolish mothers to let their babies taste. Baby -killers-, I call them, because any one of them is SO likely to be the death of the baby who is fed on them. Here they are: Ice cream sandwiches and cones, pickles, hot corn, tomatoes, frankfurters, lolly -pops, candies, suckers, soda water, tea and coffee, and' all other foods yea would eat yourself at the. table I have even known mothers to let their babies sip beer, whiskey and wine. Never give your baby anything with alcohol in it. Look out for sooth- ing syrups. They, too, are dangerous. Don't overfeed. Baby is not hungry every time he crles. There is more clanger in feeding him too much than in feeding him to little. He may be thirsty when he cries. Give him a little boiled water that has been cave - fully cooled. You should give your baby tile bottle regularly by the clock Enid have the doctor tell yott how often to do it. It is more important that your baby shoal& be fed regularly than that you should have your own meals on time. When your nieals are not regular you don't feel well. Do Not Overfeed. Overfeeding kills more babies than underfeeding. Mothers are gelte to give theiv babies too much, think- ing the more they give thein the bet- ter. fle especially careful in summer.. Bblea digiet less than In the winter. The milk yeti give them in the slim- mer should.n't be mixed quite a's sttong as it is hi the warder, and don't give thetwas much of it, Overfeedieg Onsets • vonsithig or - diarrhoea, or both, Here again no babies are alike. Have the doctor or nurse watch you0. baby end tell you how much to feed it. A good eatas rule as to how much to feed a baby is to give o, bottle baby, at, cub feedingeione maned more than its ago in months, The le, when a baby is one month old give it two etinetel„ When it is tevo menthe old give it three onces, and se on.
