We who havo followed the chicken business either for pleasure or profit, for pin money or Income, have heard this time-old advice repeated with re llglous regularity every new tnoon. writes Dennis II. Htovall of Oregon In tho Northwest Farmstead. When we give It heed, we win; when we let it pass, we lose. Cleanliness in the henhouse and the poultry yard la a very simple thing, for the reason that it dopends upon simple things. A few years ago I experimented with fancy roosts, pat ent drop boards, intricate nest shelves, and various other contrivances calcu lated to make tho ben lay, and to make chicken raising easy. These havo all been discarded. They entailed too much care, and Involved far more labor than the simple, common sense methods. I here found nothing bet ter for roosts than those of the saw horse pattern. This gives roost Why cough? Stop it! Stop coughing! Coughing rasps and tears. Stop it!

L»w»n. m I I I Save all the strong bacon grease. especially the grease from fried bacon. When your fowls sit around picking themselves and looking droopy and shabby, get a large deep can or buck et; from Its shape a large candy buck et Is best; All It nearly full of warm water; on this pour melted grease un til it forms a thick scum over the water; catch your fowls, take them one by one, by their wings, and with tho head held straight up. dip them down, pretty hard, two or three times into the water; let the head go com pletely under once; do this quickly to avoid strangling the fowl; then turn It loose. After waiting a few hours for the water to drip from the feathers, drive them into the shade, so the sun will not blister them. For a short time they will be a sorry looking lot of fowls. This treatment causes the feathers to fall apart, so the body of the fowl is cool, the water softens the skin; the grease-laden feathers fall out eas ily, and the new ones push their way through the skin and grow in masses Instead of one or two in a place; the time of moulting is shortened; the fatty grease kills all vermin on the fowl, while the grease-saturated feath ers are death traps to any vermin that may got on them. Keep the bucket filled with water and pour more grease on the water from time to time. The fowls should be dipped early In the morning and mado to roost under shelter for several nights. By dipping fowls in the early fall they becomo healthy and free from peats, hence stand tho winter better, and in the spring have little or no vermin to annoy them and get on and ’till their little ones. Killed by Kindness. More brooder chicks are killed by kindness than die of any other com plaint A chick that is a little hun gry will take exercise sufficient to keep in good health. Make your ra tion for chicks about one-third cracked cane seed, and you will not have much bowel trouble, and sprinkle the floor of the brooder with gnod clean sand every day or two. Vermin In Hot Weather. Vermin breeds much faster in warm weather than In cool weather. Often give the henhouses, brooders and brood coops a thorough disinfect ing with some good liquid disinfectant and dust the fowls and chicks well with lice powder. i Automatic Opening and Closing Valva on a Supply Water Tank for Fowls. cock valve at the top of the feed pipe as shown in the illustration.

BROODER HOUSE MADE HANDY Convenient Coop for Poultry Keepei Can Be Made Any Size Desired —Cover With Netting. The illustration shows a very con venfent style of coop for the poultry keeper. It can be made any size de sired, from 2x3 to 4x5 feet or more says the Farm and Home. Th« smaller coop is sufficient for a het and her brood, whllo the larger slz« Croodsr Colony House will hold a brooder and accommcdati a flock of 100 chicks. The yard should be made in three sections of 1x2 or 1x3 inch stripe covered with one-inch mesh wire net ting. If covered over the top with wire netting, it will be proof against cats and other Intruders. The coo; and house should be moved to frost ground weekly. Molting season Is at hand. Pullets hatched In March should b« laying now. Vermin breeds much faster In warn: weather than in cooi. Filth and vermin are the great profit killers and yet good remedlei are In reach of everyone. Hens set in Atigust will produce chicks that will grow Into first-class table poultry about February. If our chicks or older fowls are not thrifty, let us look into our method» and find out where we are to blame When the hens begin to climb tree« to roost, it is time to look to the venti lation and cleanliness of the houses. Hen afflicted with scaly leg cannot possibly give the best service In egg production, and rough shanks look bad. Do not use harsh methods In break ing up the broody hens. Remember that brobdiness Is nature's provision for rest. Authorities claim that the eggs from a hen will be fertile for ten days after tho removal of the mala from the flock. The appearance of the fowls Is not very attractive now, but when the molting ordeal Is over they will look all the prettier, Two essentials are absolutely nec- essary to raise summer-hatched chicks: First, an abundance of fresh air; second, protection from the beat of the sun.
