WINTER POULTRY NOTES Special Care Should Be (liven Fowls During Cold Weather to Obtain Best Results. To obtain good results from a flock of poultry during the winter all hous es and coops should be put In good condition, only healthy fowls placed In the buildings, and good care given to the poultry. The houses should le thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and made tight for winter If the house has a dirt floor, It is well to remove three or four inches from the "top and substitute fresh gravel or sand. If the floor is cement or wood, remove all litter and dirt and put in 4 or 5 inches of fresh straw or litter. Be sure that the house is tight on three sides aud that there is no .hance for a draft to strike the hens. If hens roost or are placed in a draft during the fall and winter, cold3 are sure to develop, which may result in roup and other troubles. The south tide, or front, of the poultry house may be left comparatively open, but should be under control, so that the openings may be closed gradually as the weather becomes cold. Have muslin curtains in the front of the house, or leave a window partly open even on the coldest nights to allow some ventilation in the house. Fowls will stand considerable cold air pro Tided it is dry, and ventilation will keep the air thoroughly dry in the house The pullets should be brought In off the range and put In winter quar ters, but before they are mixed with the older fowls be sure that the hens are banded or that the wb of the foot is punched in some way so as to distinguish between the pullets and the hens. In this way the older stock may be culled out whenever it ap pears desirable, and the young hens kept for further laying. Cull the chickens which are brought into the laying house carefully," and fatten and market all chickens which are small, poorly developed, or in poor condition. These small, poorly de veloped chickens are apt to catch cold if put in with the otner poultry, and develop diseases which quickly spread through the flock. Market all surplus cockerels or older male birds which are not desired for breeding or not wanted for a later market. Feed the grain in a deep litter on the floor and make the hens exercise for all their grain. The mash may be fed either wet or dry, and should be so regulated that the fowls will get about equal parts of mash and of scratch grains. It is necessary to give the fowls plenty to eat to get good results, but the birds should always be eager for each feed. In cold weather feed about one-third of the scratch grains in the morning and two-thirds at nipht. In this way the hens are forced to exercise more than Y Y y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y y Y y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y t Y y Y Y Y Y Y Y y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y y I 'TV if they receive all the grain they de sire at the morning feed. Scratch grains, mash or ground grains, ani mal protein, green feed, grit and shell should be supplied in the win ter. A good scratch mixture may be made of equal parts, by weight, of cracked corn, wheat, and oats; and a mash may be made of two parts corn meal and one part each of wheat bran, wheat middlings, and beef scrap. Green feed, such as cab bages, mangel wurzel beets, cut al falfa, or sprouted oats, should be supplied to replace the green feed which the fowls have been securing in the fields; and beef scrap, skim milk, cut green bone, or some sim ilar feed is needed to replace the bugs which the fowls have been get ting on the range. Beef scrap or feed of this nature is very essential in securing a good supply of eggs during the winter months. Clean the dropping boards at least once a week, and spray the roosts with kerosene or some commercial preparation for killing mites once a month during the winter. Have a good supply of sand or dry dirt on hand to use on the dropping boards during the winter. If any of the birds develop colds, put as much potassium permangan ate as will remain on the surface of a dime into a gallon of water and keep this mixture in their drinking water for several days, or until the symptoms of the colds have disap peared Remove any sick birds from the flocks as soon as they are noted and treat them in coops by them selves, or kill and bury them fi they are not worth treating. Examine the pullets and hens for lice, and dust thoroughly with a good insect powder or apply a mixture of 2 parts of vaseline and 1 part of mer curial or blue ointment, about the size of a pea, 1 inch below the vent of the bird, rubbing the mixture lightly on the skin. An application of this ointment two or three times a year will keep the fowls free from lice. Where insect powder is used, it should be applied three or four times a year, or oftener if the fowls become infested. Provide a small box in the house partly filled with dry road dust or fine dirt in which the hens may dUBt, thus helping to keep themselves free from lice. Concrete on the Farm. Concrete is becoming one of the greatest factors of permanent farm structures Water tanks, watering troughs, sidewalks, floors, founda tions, silos, and other farm struc tures are being made of concrete. "Are the necessary precautions being taken to secure permanency at low cost?" inquires Professor G. V. Skel ton, who will discuss the properties of cement, choice of sand and aggre gate, economical proportions for dif ferent purposes, waterproofing, mix ing and placing, and estimates of quantities and cost, at the 0. A. C. Short Course January 10 to Febru ary 4 next. Whether the farmer is going to make his own concrete or hire it made, he should know the essential properties underlying the making of permanent and economical concrete in order to obtain the best results. The idea is too prevalent that "any one can mix good concrete." LEGAL NOTICES. IS THK CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATU OF OREGON FOB MOK KOW (X)VXTV. In the Matter of the Application of Alfred L.
