Talking of poultry houses reminds mo that an rxfert in poultry caid that he lvolievod the best houses for poul try Iu w inter ho ever tried were walled with straw or hay on the north, west and cast long stacks; on the south a common Kind wall in sections easily removed and opened In fine weather. Tlio chickens delight to work Into tho straw or bay. Tho most of the ma terial can be fed out towards soring and renewed In the fall; the remainder can bo used as fertilizer. Using these in a cold country where lumber was very scarce ha found that his hens woiw healthier and laid more eggs lu winter than over before. Anyone liv ing In tho country must have noticed how chickens delight to gather about straw stacks lu winter on the sou;h side. They will work their way far Into tho straw and make nests. They will fly quite a distance over the snow to reach a stack and Indeed a lmig stuck cast and west Joined by another running nortu ami south will ordinar ily mnke almost protection enough. I have notli'cd chickens repeatedly gather and stay around such stacks all day sootnlng veiy happy and If they could find any perch near they would roost out ou It Instead of returning to tho accustomed spot Andthouirh I have never seen such a winter poultry house as described I believe It Is the best method.
