The life of the grate bar is thus naturally just one- third as long as when the wear is dis- tributed on titre sides,, That explains why Sunshine grates have three dives, Each. of the four grate liars has three sides. Each time the ashes are "rocked down" (no shaking with Sunshine) the side next to the fire can be changed. Thus the life of the grates is greatly prolonged, When desired, the heavy bull dog teeth on the grates will seize hold of clinkers, grind therm up, and drop the particles into the ash -pan.

By MILO M. HASTINGS. Formerly Poultryman at Kansas Expetf. merit Station, Commercial Poultry Ere pert of the United States. Deport- ment of Agriculture, Author of "The Dollar Hen." (Copyright, 1910, by American Press Asso- ciation.) THERE are two ways In which money is lost la the poultry house construction. The first method, which isthe way many farmers lose their money, le by giving the fowls such poor quarters that they have no protection against the weather and predatory animals. On the bther hand, village poultrymen, and especially the novice who proposesi A UNIQUE VILLAOB POUr.T1I HOUS1 to take up poultry keeping as a pro - Cession', very frequently lose money bj building more elaborate and expensive poultry houses .than there is any need for. Indeed, many houses are built so tight and warm that poultry kept in them are less healthy than they would be in a bouse of a small fraction of the cost. There are throughout the eastern states a number of defunct poultry plants in which the cause of failure is now attributed to the Wee of poultry house construction which prevailed ten or fifteen years, ago. that time houses were made with pad- ded 'walls ad•ded'walls a.ud entirely inclosed, so that the chickens while roosting in the house at night were kept so warm that they caught cold upon going out into the weather next morning. The present tendency is toward' lighter, cheaper, better ventilated buildings. 1'be two general forms of poultry 1100500 in use are the long house and the colony house. The long house has several pens. under one roof and is adapted to the village poultryman whew wishes to keep several breeding pens of fowls and who must keep them yarded. The farmer or egg farmer will almost invariably construct hia poultry house or houses on tbe type of the colony house—that is, the house which is to contain oue flock of fowls. Simple Houses Best. The house must be planned for tl:e hen's comfort. Any embellishments or fancy work that is added to please the owner should not be charged up against the' productive powers of the hen, for she ueeds a place to sleep, eat and scratch out of the weather and cares Ettle whether this protection be in the form of a painted building with a silver plated weather cock on the lightning rod or a piano box covered with tarred paper. $ The poultry house should be only high enough for the keeper to stand erect, any greater space being a waste and making the bouse colder in winter. The house should contain about five square feet of floor space per lien if the fowls are yarded, while the fowls on free range may -get on with somewhat less space. The mild- er the climate the less indoor accom- modations will be required by the hen. Good Drainage Is Vital. The poultry house should be located upon the best drained soil `available on the farm. The sandiest soil that will still grow crops Is desired for poultry. 1f the poultry house be located on pure sand there will be no green. crop or insect iife for the fowls to fiernish feed and amusement, and then results Will be little .better than upon bare board floors. On the farm the hen should be sepa- rated as far an possible from the hog - pen, especially if heavy breeds are kept; otherwise the hogs In snapping pit fowls that are stealingfeed may fe e may learn the taste of chicken flesh. Poultry may be placed near the or- chard, but coops for young chicks !should not be put under trees, especial-, ly with Leghorns, as the young stock will form the habit of roosting in the trees, and serious trouble will be beperienced when the cold iveathel.* Comes on. It is usually impractical to locate poultry houses so that the hene will net find the garden, and we must those between fencing the hens or the. garden. A Stone foundatien Is best for the poultry house that Is permanently lo• sated, but where Stolle is expensive this may be replaced by cedar, hem- lock or Osage orange posts, Colony houses aro best built on hemlock mud this tut like sled runners so they may be moved to fresh ground. T liars may be constricted of rough yug boards or cement. Cement floors stye eteellent; but If well constricted •era expensive. Cheaply constructed cod 'mut-f1Qoi1. ]l Doter, BP* A.•(?t1F the building. Where the soil is heavy tills is essential, for dampness ip tt poultry house is an evil which must be overcome. The walls of the chicken house jnust first of all' be wind tight. The cheap• est way to obtain this is to use up, right boards and batten the cracks. various kinds of lap•sullug givesimi ar results, Sipple board walls may be greatly improved by lining with build• lug paper, or the wall as well as the roof of the building may he coy- ered with prepared rooting. In very cold climates the wall may be built of double boards with building paper In between, The question of moiling is an argu- ment between the use of sbiugles and cf prepared roofing papers. The for- mer are preferable, but more expert- sve, and where you know the make of a roofiug which you are sure is du- rable it is usually to be chosen.. One type of poultry house roof that has given excellent satisfaction is made of matched cypress boards, with no other covering whatever. I have• seen such roofs ten years of age that were in a perfectly sound and weatio er proof condition. The most common form of roof for the long poultry house is the single elope. in a house of fourteen feet ie width a beigbt of seven and oue- baif feet in front and five feet in the rear is a very goodeproportion. if the shingle roofing is to be used it is throla ably better to make the douse of dou- ble pitch. •This, in order to get the house high enough for windows and doors, will make the cone uuneeessare ly high ..The difficulty Is sometimes avoided by baying an uneven double pitch roof—that is, having the cone nearer the front side. The object of ventilating chicken bouses is to supply a reasonable atiiount of fresh air and, what is equal- ly important, to keep the house dry. Ventilation should uever be by means of crackle in the walls or cupolas or openings in the roof. Systems of pipes which remove the foul air froth near the floor form a compile/300n which experience ' has shown to be more trouble tihan it is worth. The most practical scheme of ventilating poultry !louses is to have one or more window in front of the house which are cola ered with cloth instead of glass or in less severe climates having, 'the win - flows coveted with poultry. netting only. An opening in one side of a mem, the other three sides of which are closed. will provide ample voutilo- tion, while the fowls roosting in tee far side' of the compartment will keep comfortably wurtu and free from draft;. 1f dry and protected from the wind a thicken will stand pretty low temperatures without ill eil'ects. Have as Little Furniture as Possible. Make all roosts on the same level.

Put in only enough roosts to accommodate the hens and let them be in the back side of the house. The floor beueath the roosts may be sepa- rated from the rest of the house by a board set on the edge, which will pre- veut the droppings being mingled with the litter of the feeding floor, or the roost may be placed over a platform raised some two or three feet above the floor. In cold Climates an extra cloth curtain is sometimes hung in front of theh•oost, thus forming a cup- board or closet, This curtain should be let down only on extremely cold nights. 11 Poultry Yards. The farm poultry keeper of the old school does not yard his fowls. The fancier, who is generally a village or City dweller, Is obliged to construet yards. As the fancy poultry breede.e.e are the ones who do most of the writ. ` ing for the poultry papers, the idea o4 yards becomes infused into poultry lit- erature, with the result that farmers Who begin to take an interest in poul- try breeding often go to the expense of building poultry yards in imitation Of the town poultryman. Now, as a matter of fact, yarded poultry can be made to give really better results than fowls on free range, but' it takes a lot of unnecessary labor to supply them with the shade, exercise and green food that they secure on the range. 'Yarded fowls, if left to take eare of themselves to the extent that the free range poultry nifty be, will prove unprofitable, 13y nll Menus those who are sittinted where the chickens may run free should not bother with yard g, except n small tt on one gids f the WINO, 1 n v Inn t„ r ifieh t ay be nerd In stormy rvintl'' weather er when the i hens threaten the destrectian of seine favorite garden erep.

The British occupation of Egypt has bawl defended on the ground that it has been the means of bringing about a great improvement in industrial and social conditions in that country. A native Egyptian writer, in an artiole in an English publication, declares that great industrial progress had been made before British occupation began, Be tween 1812 and 1880, be says, the oniti- vatable area of the country had been increased from 290.000 to nearly four and three-quarter Octillion acres. The writer further makes the direct charge against the British Government of "having inundated onr oountry with an army of inexperienced young men to whom the whole control of the govern- mental departments is entrusted, and with whom the whole power .rests; thus leaving the native officials, who have undoubted experience of their country, as mere dummies," Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S `i A B O R I A HiS FACE AND NECK WERE COVERED WiTH PiMPLES Pimples are caused by 'bad blood.
