FLAT CEILING THE THING.
How to Build a Chicken House That
In Cool in Summer and Warm
' in Winter.
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.

The color of honey varies greatly.
ranging from water-white to a very dark

Fifty pounds of surplus honey per

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
