ERE DANGERS OF OVERCROWD-
ING HENS.
By A. P. Marshall.
Overcrowding - is . the father of a.
peck of troubles. Overcrowding makes
bverfat hens, and overfat hens lay,
golf -shelled eggs, and egg eating, ha-
bit follows. Overcrowded flocks will
roost closely together at night and
sweat, leaving them in a weakened
condition, resulting in sickness. Over-
crowding also produces idlers. Idle
hens become mischievous hens, and;
the disgusting vice of feather -pulling
is the result. Better results in both.
health and egg production come from
flocks that have plenty of "elbow
room."
As the young chicks keep getting
larger they should be moved to room-
ier quarters. It out of the question
to keep them in the same little brood
coops and expect they will develop
and do as well as where they are
moved to roomier quarters as they
grow, and should always be able to
find lots of exercising conditions to
keep them ever active and on the
hustle. Perches should be provided
for them as soon as they begin to get
a little size. It keeps them cleaner,
and they seem to do better, as it
r avoids ,crowding together at, night,
causing them to sweat and catch cold
in the cool of the early morning.
In placing perches they should be
all on the seine level in the warmest
part of the house away' from drafts,
and should 'be readily removable. If
the perches are not all on the same
level the fowls will fight for the op-
portunity to roost on the highest, and
the chances are that many fowls will
be injured by falling off the perches.
The perches should be in the warmest
part of the pen,- as they need the
most protection from the cold during
the night, when the fowls are inac-
tive. 'At this time the house is usual-
ly colder than during the day. The
perches should be easily removable,
to facilitate cleaning, disinfecting and
fighting mites. They should be so
constructed that a disinfectant can be
readily applied to all parts. They
should be as simple as possible, and
made insuch a way as to have the
smallest number of cracks and cre-
vices, which offer hiding places for
mites and other vermin. As a general
rule, small hens should have about
six inches of perch space, while the
larger hens should be allowed eight
inches. In the winter they huddle
close together, but in the summer
there should be plenty of room to
allow them to spread out. Perches
should be twelve inches apart, and
not closer than fifteen inches to the
wall or ceiling. Show birds, especial-
ly Leghorns, or similar types, should
be kept at a greater distance from
walls and ceilings. Many good birds.
are spoiled by brushing their : tails
against the walls.
In determining the size of a house,
consider the number of fbwls that are
'to be kept in one pen. As a rule,
fowls are too crowded for economical
production. A flock of fifty hens
should usually be allowed about five
square feet of floor space 'per hen.
Where the attendant is careful to
keep the house clean and the floor
heavily littered with straw, less floor
space will be necessary. As a rule,
it is far better to allow too much floor
space rather than too little. The lar-
ger the pen the less floor space will.
be required per hen• One hundred
hens will thrive in a pen 20 x 20 feet,
that is four square feet of floor space
per hen, but one hen will not thrive
In a pen 2 x 2 feet. In a large pen
each one has a chance to"wander over
the entire floorspace, thus getting
more exercise. As the number an the
lock become less, the amount of floor -
Space per lien must increase, and any-
one keeping eight or ten hens should
allow at least ten square feet of floor
space per hen, unless he is prepared
to give special attention to cleaning
and bedding the house. A crowded
condition in a poultry house is re-
sponsible on many farms for lack of
winter egg production.
The ventilation of 'a poultry house
is very important: A house with
tight walls, roof and floor and an open
front will contain cold, dry and pure
air,—three essentials for the health of
the fowls in winter. With such a coni
struetion there will be no drafts but
plenty of fresh air.. Cloth curtains
on the front openings can be dropped
on cold nights or daring stormy wea-
ther, and a glass window will allow
entrance of light at all times. Many.
cases of colds have been cured by re-
moving the south side of the house
and allowing sunshine and cold, pure
air to enter. Hens must not freeze,
neither dothey need to be kept warm.
In the summer time • a ventilator in
the back of the house may be opened.
Air enters this and goes up between
the studding and rafters through the
hood above the heads of the fowls.
This allos circulation of air, thereby
allowing the warm air to escape in
the summer without a draft on the
chickens' heads. To allow for this air
passage the back plate is cut out be-
tween three studdings. It may be ad-
visable to use ventilator,' shafts or
other devices to insure ventilation.
In fact, many houses that have proved
satisfactory in every'. way have no
ventilation schemes whatever nor any
roosting hood. .

*To the Gallant Soldiers of Canada.
It is said that: war is hell, but it
does not follow that warriors must
be endowed with hellish dispositions.
Your present mission is as sacred as
the Crusades of the Middle Ages; nay
it is more sacred. The object of those'
old Crusaders was to rescde the tomb
of Christ from the Saracens. Your
mission is more .exalted. Not only'
the tomb of the founder, but the dis-
tinctive {irinciples, of Christianity are
assailed and threatened.. It's yours to'
prove that the Gospel of "Love and
Sacrifice" is superior, to "The Will to
Power." "Chants of Hate" are un
British, so are their results, viz: Lou-
vain, Aerschot and Senlis atrocities.
War affords you enough methods of
punishing the aggressors without vie=
lating the recognized rules and with-
out you becoming a human devil.
If in the discharge of your duty it
is your fate to fall, be assured that
He who "numbers the very hairs of
your head" is conscious of your merit,
and that a grateful country will keep
you in memory and accord to you the
mead of human appreciation due to
one whose life is consciously spent
"for others."
You may quite consistently pray for
your so-called enemy even whilst
pressing the trigger, thrusting the
bayonet or striking with the sword.

We motored up a road newly built,

Odd bullets whined continually

An Outlet of Escape.
FOR ALLIES' GREAT DASH.
Britain Has Land Torpedo, Ready—A
Terrible Bomb.
"The most hellish thing ever in-
vented." That's ;the way Charles J.
P. Lucas, • member' of the American
Red Cross, describes a "land torpedo"
the Allies are preparing to use in a
drive through Luxemburg within the
next few weeks.
Mr. Lucas is in Cleveland, Ohio,
just returned from France. He says
the French and their allies hope to
cut off the Germans in Belgium by the
drive proposed.
"Land torpedoes" are to be fired
from a mortar. They are three feet
long. Concealed in a knob at one end
is seventy-five pounds of lyddite, a
most powerful explosive. The' area
that can be devastated by the torpedo
is alfnost inconceivable, Mr. Lucas
said.
For this drive the French also have
provided , -a new type of. rapid fire
gun, Hotchkiss make, capable of 1,000
shots a minute, though weighing but

—From The Rochester Herald:
NO REFUND OF WAR TAX,'
'A matter of importance to the pub-
lic and the railways has been settled
by the Government. A nice point has
been raised as to the possibility of re-
fund of the,war tax in case a person
should change his or her mind in re-
gard to the contemplated trip by train
or boat. 'If the railwaysrinsisted upon
the tax in such cases of changed in-
tention, it was altogether likely that
the public would set them down as
extortioners. -
Accordingly'the railways submitted
the questions .'to' the Government—
what should be done in case unused
tickets presented for refund to agent
before the tn'hin starts; to agent or
general, office after train departs; the
same` or some following day; in the
case of passenger tickets; in the case
of sleeping car tickets; in the case of
parlor car tickets; in -the case of
steamship tickets. The answer which
the railways received was as follows:
There can be no refund of the tax
under any circumstances. Once the
ticket is sold and the, tax collected, it
is as though it were in the Dominion
coffers and nothing but an act of Par-
liament can get it out again. It was
explained by the Dominion authorities
that in order to prevent the confusion
thatwould arise in applying literally
the millions of tax stamps that would
have been required on railway tickets
and the consequent difficulties which
would have ensued owing to delay in
affixing and cancellation of stamps,
the present method had been adopted,
and, that as none,of the public could
have reasonably expected a refund on
a stamp that had been affixed. and
`cancelled, if ticket were refunded
upon, so also no refund may be exl-
pected wherever a tax had been
and the ticket unused and re-
funded upon. In other words, the act
of purchase of the ticket in accordance
with the Tax Act is a completed tran-
saction
saction so far as the collection of the
tax is concerned, and under no cir-
cumstances as the law now stands
could it be refunded. To make a re-
fund of the tax' possible a special act
would have to be passed by parlia-
ment. •

One hundred and fifteen persons

VALUE OF LAND IN LONDON.
Over $16,000,000 Per Acre Not An
Unusual Price.
Not long ago a tiny piece of ground
at Charing Cross, adjoining the Mall
Archway, and comprising only 641%/s
square feet, with a frontage of 69
feet, was sold by the London County
Council to_ an insurance company for
545,000 an acre.
It is in the city, the square mile of
which is valued at $1,250,000,000, how-
ever, where land can easily claim the
distinction of being the dearest in
the world. For property near the cen-
tre of the city $16,250,000 an acre is
not an unusual price. Portions of
Cannon Street, Queen Victoria Street,
Upper Thames Street, and; St. Mary -
at -Hill, are said to be worth $1.25 a
square inch, while in Lombard Street
and. King William Street land hes
been sold for $3.50" per square foot
freehold.
The three acres on which the Bank
of England stands would realize at a
low estimate $35,000,000, or the land
adjoining has sold at $350 and $400 a
square foot.
Land in Corninill was sold at a price

office boy, "in this office you must be
careful not to overhear remarks that
are not intended for you. Do you un-
del'stand?" "Yes, sir," said Johnnie,
Then he turned to his typist at the'
other side of the table. "Miss Brown,

What to Tell Him.

wishes to interview you, sir."
Great Man—"Did you not tell him
