' The house in which the birds are ;sept is provided with a water -proof Mot and a floor that is always dry. in preparing 'the house' for the new £leek of pullets, everything movable is taken out, cleaned, and Hien sat- ' orated with sy: mixture ,uf equal parts nl ereostte and coal oil The tuterior goo oC the house Is well seeped and, swept Clean of any toren material. A coating of lime -wase is then ap- plied, and the movable equipment re- placed after the lime -washing has been done. When everything is dry, a 6 -inch layer of dry straw is placed On the door, The house is now ready for the five -month-old pullets, and care' Is taken to see that only strong, vigorous birds are permitted to oc- cupy house space. The runs provide ten square yards of surface for one bird. They are in duplicate and are used alternately for feed growing and exercise space. hate -leafing, deciduous trees only aro used about poultry yards. The coni- ferous windbreaks are located far enough away from the poultry yards and bufldinge to permit of maximum sunlight entering• all space occupied b) the birds, Feedlot dry mash hopper of such con- etruction as will prevent waste is sup- plied with the following tnash mix Lure:— Wheat t brat o o pounds.

The whole grain ra- tion Is composed of two parts wheat one part cracked corn, and one par( oats, by weight. This is fed on the door of the house morning and even- ing, In the daily proportion of five pounds per fifty birds, during the late autumn and winter. When a supply of . skimmflk is available, the birds are given all they will take, and the beef scrap is reduced one-half. Shell, grit, and charcoal are always before the birds, being supplied in small metal hoppers, which are conveniently 'Placed. ' ieorage Crops for Poultry. Small areas of kale, chard, and al- falfa were grown to be used as green :Peed for poultry. The chard was rel - jelled to a greater extent than the other green Leeds. preen altalfa was most usful during its season from May to November. For winter green feed, kale and mangles were used. For little chicks, chickweed was sup- plied during the first ten days, then lettuce sip chard. A supply of clean water is always available for all the Poultry; Jt is given In fountains plac- ed thirty inches above the door and surrounded by the narrowest possible platform on which the birds may Stand to drink. This method has Proved very satisfactory, as it pre- vents the birds from working dirt and foreign ,natter into the receptacles. The laying houses are kept thor- oughly clean. Dropping boards are scraped and sanded every morning. All litter anal dust is removed overs three weeks, the house swept out, and fresh litter again placed on the floor. The perches are sprayed with a creo- sote ,and coal oil mixture in equal parts, every three weeks, During the winter period a dust box four feet square and ten incites deep is provid- ed. The birds are always given the freedom of an outside run, no matter what the weather is. The drawer type of trap nest is used, the birds readily becoming used to its action. Broody hens are confined in slat -bot- tom crates for the necessary period required for the change of their opin Ion ou the subject. Don'ts For the Layers. Don't put,pullets into an unclean house. Don't waste time on unthrifty, de formed, or ailing birds; get au axe and a block of wood.

(Contributed' by Ontario Department oi' Agriculture,: Toronto.) The grain binder or modern har- vester la a complicated machine with many moving parts, requiring',ca e ul f adjustment stove j nC ,i constant 1 z caro .i d f 11 is to give the best service and fast. Perfect sheaf or bundle snaking be- gins with the delivery of the standing grain to the knife and platform. In this the reel plays an important part; if properly adjusted for height and distance forward, the grain will fall evenly and will be carried in like eon- ditiou to the packers and binding at- tachment. With the reel improperly adjusted, � to the s't uiu May tall Forward or it, onay be scattered on the plat form. Once scattered, It is impos- sible for the conveyors or packet's to straighten it out, to the degree neces- sary for perfect sheaves, Careful watch should, therefore, be kept on the reel and adjustment made while the machine is In motion to meet the s:onditlous caused by lack of uniform- ity in the crop. The grain passing from the conveyors or elevator is next adjusted by the butting attach- ment and the packers, -Meeting the Needs of Long or Short Grant. The binder table or the butting at- tachment can be shifted to meet the needs of long or short grain, and the binder operator must be alive to the making of the necessary adjustments or the bundles will not be of e. desir- able shape and tightness. The bind- lng attachment with its twine run needle and knotter will give lrignly efficient service if given reasonable atteution by way of oiling and proper adjustment. The binding attachment Parts rust very cosi- during t Y t periods Y p a ds g o ' tie e f 1 n s s so liberal applications of ahev heavy mineral oil or grease to all parts not protected by paint will save the machine, will save time, labor, and temper. Rust can be removed by sandpaper, but harvesting ma- chines were never intended for such treatment, The wooden slats that form an important part of the can- vas conveyors will sometimes tear loose. Thls Is caused by the frame and rollers not being in proper align- ment or square. This difficulty is overcome by adjusting the cross braces of the frame until it is square and the rollers In alignment. The Transmission of power•. The power for operating' the vari• ous parts of the grain binder' is tran- suritteci by chain and sprocket,, the various units being provided with tighteners. If the various chains are not run at proper tension, trouble will follow. If too tight the links will break, or the draft will be heavy. If too loose the machine will be driven with a jerky motion. It the chains are just sleek enough so such can net be taken off by hand when the machine Is not running, they will usually be satisfactory when in mo- tion. Chain links and sprockets should be well oiled at all points of contact. Missing sheaves or failure to tie the bundle Is a common trou- ble, usually due to the operator's failure to nntke the adJustinents necessary to give full etaciuuey to the tying mechanists, 11 the needle fails to carry the twine far enough over that It may be grasped by the twine disc, a knot will not be tied, since but ore end Is held. This condition is generally easily le cognized by the twine beteg knotted in a loop at one end, the other end being free. When the twine disc is held too tight by the clamp and spring, it will he turn hold the twine so•tight as to Much it off and cause a failure to tie, This con- dition is generally indicated by one end of the band being frayed. The loosening of the spring that holds the twine disc will: remedy this fault. Il the twine disc is loosened too much, the knot can not be tied; this condi- tion is generally indicated by both ends of the"twine hand being frayed. Keep a Careful -bye on the Knotter: An`"other cause or failure to tie is often found in the knotter sprint,* which holds the ringer down upon the knotter hook being so loose as not to hold the ends of the twine while the knot is pulled over the billhook, re- sulting in a band with clean cut ends but no knot, the adjustment through wear or lack Or adjustment through shaking loose 01 the bolt, holding the twine cutting knife, causing the sev- ering of the twine before the knotter Linger or billhook has closed over it. .1 bent rusty needle or shaft, or ucedle, billhook, twine disc or twine runs will cause nu end of trouble early It the hal v'est through loose, Untied or miseed sheaves, Pay Attention to Oiling.

The main drive bearings, the pitman, and the sheaf binding attachment require the closest. attention.—L, Stevenson, See„ Dept, of Agriculture.
