Raymond Kessler, in Buffalo News) The health and productiveness of the flock depend to. e. great extent upon housing details, especially during the winter months. Overcrowding and im- proper ventilation are often traced to the outbreaks of diseaeo. Such out- breaks are costly, not only .inloss of production and stock, but frequently they account for poor fertility, smelt hatches and weak flocks the next sea- son. Some poultry raisers seem to thinn that some trouble with sickness is a Pees essary evil each winter season, but ilk tniestatlhectsuch a condition is only Otto t The first consideration should be tbs. amount of floor space necessary. Tieje depends upon local eoriditions and tlas size of the flock, A liberal allowartess of floor space is necessary to keep tljeti fowls in health and to obtain a maw- imum egg yield. Unnecessary flag space will gain nothing, and may, .• many poultrymen believe, lower proittio- tion. It is a fact that the closer a hen se confined the larger will be her egg pes duction, al -for conditions being e sla However, there is a limit beyond wbf confinement cannot, be carried witr is destroying the health of the fowls. When largo flocks of layers aro Itss In 3ne house, say from 1000 to 1500 billt from three to three and one-half step feet of floor space per hen is the ere) est area possible. FLOOR SPACE REQUIRED. It must be remembered that in ai deal of this site each hen has the entire house to travel over, for all her individual al- lotment Is only three square feet of wee Per hen for best results, while .floeltis GI 15 or 20 should have six or seven aquare feet per bird. Flocks containing from 100 tti 300 hens require from four to five square feet of floor spade per hen for best results, while Pioche of 15 or 20 should have Dix or seven square feet per bird. One single lien could never be housed In the amount of space mentioned with- out access to a yard. It is having a large floor space over which the birds can roam which makes confinement pos- sible. The smallest amount of floor space that e uld bo confined to for a g any length of tine Is about 18 square feet, but in this same areathree birds could be kept -with equal suecess. The above statements are suited to the flock that is closely confined, at least during the winter, to secure large egg production. For building pens it is far better to give each hen from six to eight square feet of floor space, besides large yards, and to keep them in small units. It is apparent that the more birth al- lowed to the hundred square feet of floor space, the more quickly the house bosome dirty; and the closer the confinationt and the larger the float: the greater the sanitary precautions nodes- sary. Moisture first starts when the house in closed too tightly at night, causing tho moist heat rising from the fewis to con- dence upon the ceiling. If the days are sunny this 'moisture seat evaporates.

Green Forest, for Dippy is a lover of solitude. Dirpy belongs to the order of diving birds and is often called the Great Northern Diver, because he is a very wonderful diver and swimmer. His legs ,are chiefly for swimming, and, for thin 'reason, are :placed so far back that when standing on solid ground he appears to be upright. His 'feet are fully webbed mad are big enough to dew Dippy through the water at great speed. On land Dippy is so clumsy that it ie with difficulty he can get aboard at all. He cannot rise into the air from braid, and so he is seldom found more Cram a few feet from the water. His wings are narrow and small for his sin; bur once Dippy gets under way in the air he flies swiftly and far. In order to rise, he uses wings and feetr- paddling over the surface of the water tor some distance to get up sufficient speed for his wings to lift him. In this respect ho is like an airplane wh.ich attains great speed on land or water hefore it can rise. The common Loon is glossy black on the upper parts, at times showing violet and green tints.

STERN REMINDERS Of RHEUMATISM 4 4.3-0-04-04-04-4-04-44-0-04"4-0-0 44-04-4-9' Odd Hats of Old Soldiers Some odd hats have been worn by the soldiers of all countries, including those of the United States, but it Is probable that none has had thrust upon them more astonishing varieties of headgear than the soldiers of Brit- ain. Whole volurneS might be written about the various head-dresses, most of them entirely oatisfactorY,.. which have been inipdsed upon Tommy At- hins from time to time. The feather - trimmed felt hats of the Life Guards, the bearskin busbies, or shakos, of the Foot Guards, very hot and uncomfort- able and exceedingly expensive, are two notable examples. When the Hus- sar regiments first came into being, officers and men alike wore broad - leafed hats, bound with silver lace, and ornamented with a black cockade and a white metal loop. As late as the Crimean days several line regiments were served out as an experiment with wicker helmets that resembled nothing so much as Invert- ed waste -paper baskets. Tommy liked them as little as he did the "old shako," beloved of modern song writers in England, but which, he complained, bread colds in.winter and made the head ache in summer. The cap that superseded its -a perfectly round, peakless one—suggested ludic- rous comparison wtih meat pies and pill boxes until the life of the soldier while walking abroad 'became a bur- den to him; just as, to come down to quite recent times, the flat _abomi- nation known as the "Brodrick" cap caused street urchins to yell after him' sarcastic phrases such as "baker's boy." There is one curious little item of dress that was once common to all English line regiments alike, and which now survives in only one, by whom' it is jealously cherished. This is the "flash," as it is called, a piece of crepe worn on the back of.the tun- ic, depending centrally from the col- lar and which constitutes a portion of the full-dress uniform of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. Ask any member Of this gallant Corps the reason for it, and he will an- Swer that it is a badge of mourning for the four hundred -odd officers and men of the battalion who fell at the terrible battle of Albuhera. This, how- ever, is in the nature of a regimental tradition. • It is quite true that their loss at Al- buhera—Napiers' "glorious field of grief"—was as stated. But then oth- er Ores also lost as heavily. As a matter of fact, the "flash" is merely a glorified survival of the little length of broad, black ribbon, which was. mriversally used by the soldiers of Selarlborough's thne in order to keep their greased and powdered pigtails from soiling their ttmies. Cold ,or Wet Weather May ,Start the Pains, but the Trouble is In the Blood. Every rheumatic sufferer should re- alize that rheumatism iS rooted in the blood and can only be cured by a treatment that will cleanse the blood of the rheumatic poisons. The old- time belief that rheumatism was caused by cold, damp weather, is now exploded. Such weather conditions may start the aches and pains, but is not the real cause. Liniments and outward applications may give tem- porary relief, but cannot cure the trouble, because they do not reach its Source _in the blood. The sufferer from rheunaatism who experhnehts outward applications is only wasting valuable time arid iSOOd money in de- pending Mont such treatment, the trouble still remains, and it is all the thne becomine more firmly rooted — harrier to cure when the proper treat- ment is applied. Treat this disease through. the blood and you will soon be ria of the pains and tortures. As at cure for rheumatism Dr. Williams' peso pine are tetequalled. They act directlyon the impues weak blood; they ptirify and etrengthen it, and se root Out the cause of rhettmatiem. Mr. D. Lewis, postmaster at Eseurn- inee, N.

The Gloucestershire Regiment is the only corps in the 'British army that ie entitled to wear two helmet badges, one in front an tithe other be- hind, whence their popular nickname of "Fore and Afts." The distinction dates from a battle fought' outside the walls of Alexandria on March 21, 1801, when they found themeelves unexpect- edly attacked in rear while engaged in a stiff hand-to-hand right in front. Their colonel, however, merely ordered the rear rank to face about, and thus , succeeded in repulsing the enemy in both directions at one, and the same time. OTTIZR SARTORIAL SURVIVALS. Some other similar sartorial survivals are, however, capable of a less prosaic interpretation.
