HENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION.
When you are building that hennery
remember what I'nele Pete says. "If
youse k rect, git thar." You should
know how to build to make your flock
comfortable, keep them healthy, make
them lay and pay. The house should
be substantial, presentable and not a
financial embarrassment
Have you the know-how? Better not
quit kindergarten too soon. Better

machine, but la-fore you turn on the
wheels you must not forgot that you
can't manufacture practical Ideas un

cal experience and Is worked up into
burnished brain. Burnished brain is
not Just mere brain any more than a
good poultry house Is an ordinary
brain storm. You must build to suit
your climate, to suit the lay of the
land, to tit your flock, to secure the
best sanitary conditions and reap all
the natural advantages possible. Study
that sentence.
In a warm cllm.-.te a cool house Is
nocpssnrv. The California "mushroom
house' is excellent simply a hip roof

around the base, sides covered with
oiled sacking or board; lu a temper

will be fifteen feet high at the ena.
"Sold1" Not much. Just let ninety

You thus have a right angle with ad
ministration buiidius on corner. A
hip roof, cupola and flagstaff on the
corner make a right single picture.

Partition wines in center to avoid

house for 500 Leghorns or 300 Rocks.
To lie sanitary the water should run
wnv from building and soil should
quickly absorb moisture and drop

fruit for shade. With windows six
n fweU-p inches from floor and ven
tilators well regulated, you have a
well aired, dry, sunshiny house.
Th more birds the more care. Now,
If your ground is watered by a silvery
stream and is sufficiently large to pro
duce the grain and you are not a kid

and horse sense back of the pushcart,
you'll be In it

they have half a chance.
Don't send your breeding eggs to the

. THE INDIVIDUAL EAR.
Stop and Consider This Easy Wty U
Lot en a Corn Crop,

What constitutes nu Ideal ear of
corn? Tldi question must be answered
by every corn brwder If he wishes to
succeed. He must have au ideal la
uilnd and work to that end. The ear of
his Ideal must U determined by the
condition of the soil aud climate. In
buying sovd corn It Is not advisable to
secure It from a long distance.
Seed corn should not be shelled uutll
near planting time, but early In the
spring a germination test should be
made of each ear and the poorest ears
discarded aud the good ears shelled
and the corn made ready for planting.
There Is perhaps no one thing that
will do as much to Increase the yield
of corn on every farm as the testing
of each ear to be used for seed. The
importance of discarding the ears that
are poor In vitality is essential when
we realise that one good ear wlil plant
one-eighth of an acre.
The simplest and best method of test
ing the germination of each ear Is by
using a germination box. The most
couveuient lx Is 3 by 4 feet, with
wire stretched crosswise forming
squares large enough to hold six to
eight kernels. Kill the box with sand.
Number each one of the squares. Take
a few kernels from each ear and put
In each of these squares. Then wet
the sand and place a damp cloth over
the box. keenine the sand aud cloth
moist and warm. Keep a record of
the time of germination and note the
kernels which fail to grow.
What Eight Good Ears Will Do.
After the germination test the next
step Is to prepare the corn for the
planter by removing the mlxea ker-

The value of testing the vitality of
corn which Is intended for seed can
not lie overestimated. It Is strange
how many farmers, even today, are
wiiHng to plant corn without the least
cortaiaty that the seed will garmlnate
and produce good, healthy plants.
There are thousands of acres that havo
been planted over each year on ac-
rount of the imor vitality of the seed.
I wish each farmer would stop to
consider this. Get a seed tester and
