There has been a good deal said about how chicken houses ought to be built Just allow me to give our readers a few useful points regarding natural heat during cold winter months. A chicken house ought to have a flat ceiling, eith er tar papered or plastered, the walls., too. My reason for having a flat cell- HOUSE WITH FLAT CEILING. ing Is, eo that the natural warmth wilj be evenly distributed, nit, up all the roosts that you have room for close to the ceiling as chickens like to be well up giving plenty of head room. WId dows should oaly be half-way up the side of the building, as the glass is hard to heat Don't give too much ventila tion; two small holes up through the ceiling will be enough in the cold nights. Henry Matthew, in Epitomist THE MOLTING OF POULTRY Process Was Hastened Successfully by the Experts at Rhode Island Experiment Station. An interesting discussion is now go ing on among poultry raisers as to the possibility of hastening the molt ing of fowls. It has not been believed that any method except a steady feed of well-balanced rations would do this. There is an impression, how ever, that even this does not always hasten the desired period, as the egg laying period of the summer is some times extended by the high feeding, thus pushing the period of molt ing.. Some one conceived the idea of starving the fowls long enough to stop the production of eggs and after ward so feeding that the formation of new feathers would be begun. It was reported that great results were obtained with this method. It does not appeal to reason very much, but the little experimenting that has been done to discover what there is in R has given results favorable to the method. At the Rhode Island experi ment station last year fowls that were laying were deprived of feed on tb 6th of August and were made to fast for IS days. The hens finally stopped laying eggs on the seventh day of the fast After the thirteenth day of the deprivation of food the fowls were again given food a little at a time, but of highly nitrogenous nature. In a short time the result was seen in the formation of new feathers, and with in 30 days from that time the molting was concluded and the hens began to lay. This experiment was made with Rhode Island Reds. Whether the re sults can be obtained always is yet to be proved. It is a matter, well worth looking into. PEACTICAX, BEE NOTES. The color of honey varies greatly. ranging from water-white to a very dark brown. Fifty pounds of surplus honey per hive in a season is a fair average in most localities. In grading comb honey for the mar ket, face the case with a fair sample of ts contents. Light honey is not always the best In flavor, though it always brings the highest price. Bscs do not need daily attention, but can be given sufficient food at one time to last all winter. Honey separated from the comb has tendency to granulate very quickly, especially in autumn. Bottled honey should be of a fine flavor and light in color. Dark honey ooks bad in glass, and is a drag on the market Bleaching honey Impairs its flavor and makes it impracticable. It would be better to have dark, good honey, than, light, poor honey. Bottled honey is. as a rule, purchased iy a class of customers who demand fancy article, and are able and willing to pay a fancy price for it Light colored honey is gathered from uh flowers as clover, basswood and mountain sage, while the dark Is gath sred front buckwheat, autumn flowers ud whltsweod.
