It la alao advisable Hint the fowla le

will be all right to purchnae egg:
olherwhui he alioulil l'i:ln with the
fowla ami thna gain aoma knowledge
of caring for poultry Iwfora attempting
to ralao chickens.
Kor convenience, chlckena may ha
rlaaslftfd aa ecu breeds, meat breeda,
general puriHiav breeda ami fancy or
ornamental breeds.
The rug breeds Include the small or
medium slml fowla, which are wry
active, quick to mature, producer of
while ahnllril egg, usually nolislttcra
or ill lient hut poor alllera ami rut her
'poof niothera. The vnrlotia vnrletlea
of l.eKhorna and Mlnorcna are good
rcprcsciitnflvca of tlila china. He
cause they lire poor alttera aonie other
breed, or nt least a few other fowla.
I1011I1I be kept If nnturiil mcthoda of
lnciilinllim nre to bo employed. On ac
count of their early maturity It la not
uncommon for Individual to begin lay
ing at the age of four and one half
month. These hreeda do not fatten
aa readily under ordlnnry condition! aa
the larger and leaa active hreeda. The
fowla of tltla claaa have large comba
and wnttlea, which make them rather
acnsllivo to low temperiiturea.
The largest fowla are represented In
tho meat clnaa. mid these breetla are
especially aiillnble for the production
of large roasters. They are alow and
aomewhnt sluggish In movement, wtlb
little desire for foraging, easily con
lined by low fencei. rather alow to ma
ture persistent alllera and rather Indif
ferent layers of large brown shelled
-eggs. Many poiiltryiuen. however, are
gelling very gooil egg ylolda from them.
The litithmaa. Cochins and Lnngshnus
belong to till" clnaa.
The general purpose clnaa Inchidea
fowla which nre of fulr aire nnd which
will alao produce a good qunntlty of
brown shelled egga. Aa 0110 hiia to
mnko freoueiit sulos of flesh In tho
ahnpe of anrplua cockercla nnd hena,
the carcass na well aa egg production
should be cotiHldered. The general
purpose breeds it re UHimlly good Hltlera
Mini good niothera. They have medium
sized comba nnd wnttlea and endure
cold weather wull. They occupy
medium poHlllon between the egg nnd
meat breeda na to slac, egg production
nnd docility. The Plymouth Rocka,
WymidoUoa, Orpingtons nnd Ithodo la
bind Hods are good representatives of
this cliias.
As n rule, tho breeds In the ornnmon
nl are not ao well adapted for farm
jiurposoa ns are tho broods of the other
three clnssea. Tho Polish, Exhibition
Oiintes, Silkies, Sultnns, Krlulca and
Itiintiims nre representntlve ornamen
tal broods.
In the mnniior of housing fowls we
have two systems, widely different In
their extremes. At one extreme Is the
colony plan, which consists In placing
small houses for stnnll flocks fur enough
npnrt to obvliilo tho necessity of
fences, thus giving free range, with but
little mingling of tho dlfferont flocks,
At the other extreme wo Imve tho con
tinuous iipnrtment house. This kind
of house consists of n series of aepn
'rate pons, under ono roof, opening di
rectly into a hnllwny in the rear, or
having doors between the pons without
the hnllwny, or opening Into n hnllwny
and nlso Into oiie another. There are
overs! plana and arraiigirnienta be
tween these two atremee.
Advantiigwa of the colony plan are,
first, small docks on fn-e range; acr
oml, no expeiiao for fencing; thin!,
there Is leas immmI for scrupulous at-
teiilloii u cIcMiilliioKs and providing
regular supplies of aiilimil ami vege
liiblo feed during aummer months.
Thla plan, however, hna tha following
disadvantages: r'lrst, extra Coat of la
bor III raring for fowls In stormy
weather, when It will often be difficult
to get around to feed and rare for His
fowla regularly; second, houses built
on the colony plan. If. built aa well, cost
mora than a continuous hua of the
iinia rapacity, for partitions, wmcn
may be constructed largely of wire
netting, are much clienier than two
end walls; third, -4lia colony plan si-
Ions but about too birds per acre,
while the continuous bouse system,
will) suitable yards, allows 450 to &00
birds ier acre.
The first consideration In locajlug
buildings Is a aultahle location for tha
poultry house or houses. If possible
It la best to selwt an elevation having
a natural drainage away from the
building, for dump ground moans cold
ground. If the house ran be built In
the lee of a windbreak or a bill or in
front of farm buildings, so much tha
better. A dry, porous anil, aucb as
sandy or gravelly loam, Is preferable
to a rlay soli, for the former Is mora
esslly kept In a sanitary condition. If
It la Impracticable to select a soil that
Is naturally dry Ilia soil should lie made
dry by thorough underdralnnge. A
purely sandy soil should not be se
lected. As sunlight and warmth are essen
tial to success, the buildings should
fsce the south. Other things being
eiiuil. they will lie wanner and drier.
When a direct southern exposure can
not lie obtained a southeastern Is prof
rrshle to a southwestern exposure,
for fowls seem to prefer morning to
afternoon1 sun. A gentle slope facing
the south la the most suitable.
It Is tiesl to build the houses during
the spring or early summer, for then
they have time to dry out during the
hot days. Lumber Is often rather damp
and should be thoroughly dried out tie-
fore winter. Cement fliairs and foun
dation walla will also have an oppor
tunity to dry thoroughly, and time
niay tic avoided much of the dampness
so often attributed to them.
The sire of the building required will
depend largely on the number of fowls
to lie kept and on the site of tho nocks
From forty to fifty seems to 1 shout
ss ninny ss Is aafe and economical to
keep together. With Hooka or this sir
shout Ave square feet of floor apace
should lie allotted to each bird, which
will suffice In most rases whore care
ful attention la given to cleanliness
and ventilation. If the fowla are kept
In entailer flocks mora floor apace per
bird will lie needed. Where tha ell
mate la so mild that It Is unnecessary
to keep the fowls confined, except for
a few dnya at a time, less apace per
lilnl will be aumclcnt The smaller
hrorda. being mora active and restless,
rcotilrn slaiut aa much room aa the
Inrgcr breeds.
For tho greatest amount of floor
apace for tho least cost a miliums
should be square, for. other things be-
ins enuiil. the nearer square a house
Is the leas lumber It will take. It Is,
however, out of the question to have a
Inrge house hull! aquitre.
The building ahould not lie ao wide
that the aim cannot reach the back of
the house, otherwise it will lie dsmp.
Fourteen foot Is a convenient width If
there are no alley ways,
The house should be built aa low aa
possible without danger of the at
tendanta bumping their heads against
the colling. A low house la more east
Iv warmed than a high one.
When permanent houaea are to be
built It la uaunlly most economical to
erect them on foundations made of
hrlck stone or concrete. Those should
bo built deep enough to prevent heav
Ing by frost nnd high enough to pre
vent surface water from entering,
Where Inrge stones or bricks are not
readily available good walls mny be
made from small atones. In case none
of those foundation materials Is avnlla-
1,1 in., hnllrllnir mar be erected on
mists.
There are throe genernl styles of
roofs-the single pitch, the gable roof
or double pilch with equal sides and
tho combination with one long and ono
short pilch.
Tho single pitch roof is the enslcst to
build. It gives the highest vertical
front exposed to the sun's rnys nud
throws all the rain water to lite rear.
But In order to have the back wall of
sufficient height to allow a person to
work conveniently in 'the roar portion
of the house It Is necessary to have the
front wall very hlgh-unless a very
slight pitch Is used whlcn requires
much more lumber for the front side
than In tho ense of the other two stylos.
The gnblo roof provides for a garret
space, which mny be filled with straw,
thus helping to moke the house warm
and dry.
Tho floor may be of enrth. wood or
cement. Earth floors are excellent pro
vided they nre kept dry. Except in
very dry cllmntes, however, thoy are
apt to be dump. Hoard floors are usual
ly short lived unless nlr Is nllowed to
circulate under tltein. A good cement
floor Is tho best, for It Is easily donn
ed nnd very durnblo. It ahould be cov
orod with one-fourth or one-half inch
of fine soil or sand nnd plenty of litter.
In constructing this floor tho ground
should be exenvntod to the depth of
throe or four Inches and then filled In
with stnnll stones or coarse gravel to
make a good foundation. Cover with
about two Inches of niortnr made by
mixing thoroughly while dry one part
of good cement to three or four parts
of snnd nnd then wetting with water
and mixing thoroughly.
