'l'here Is nothing that will have a greater influence on the poultryman's suceel's or failure than the way in whicl1 he houses his birus, declares 0. C. UfTonl, extension poultryman for the Colorado Agricultural eollege. The shed-type poultry house built deep Is th<> ~<afest nnd mo!<t satisfac-tory for Colorado conditions because It is economkal, warm, dry and corn· fortable when properly built, Mr. Orford says in 11 recent well Illustrated bulletin, "An Improved Poultry House for Colorado Floeks," copies of whleh may be obtained by writing to thu college. It is not necessary to build an expensive laying house, the bulletin states. The cost need not exceed $:! per hen when the best materials are used, and it is possible to put up 11 satisfa<'tory bulhling In some loculi· ties at s much lower cost. Poultry houses should be construct· ed to make use of the abundance of sunshine, especially during the winter months when It Is most needed. A concrete floor built at least six inches above the highest point of ground nearby to eliminate moisture is recommended. The shed-type of laying house Is the most comfortable and economll'tll when built 20, 22 or 24 feet deep, with not over a !l-foot front wall and a rear wall 5¥-a feet high, It is stated. Windows along the back under the droppinK boards. Openings 3~ to 4 teet square placed across the front of the house will provide ample sunshine when and where It Is most needed. Muslin Is warm and cheap and ls preferred over glass In the front of laying houses, the bulletin states. Nu· merous details of construction are explained and Illustrated for the benefit ~of men and women interested In Improved poultry houses. Too Much Mineral for Chickens Is Mistake Tests made by L. E. Card of the University of Illinois indicate that It Is a ml~take to feed too much mineral mixtures to chickens. One lot of ciTicks was fed on a ration of 60 parts yPIIow corn meal, 20 parts soy bean oil meal, 13 parts wheat middlings, 1 part salt, 2 parts cod liver oil, 2 part<~ steame<l honemeal, and 2 parts gronnrl limestone. These chicks averaged 25:1 grams in weight at six weeks. A similar lot receiving the same ration, except 4 parts steamed bonemeal instead of 2 parts, weighed only 212 grams at the same age. Another lot receiving the same ration, but 4 parts ground limestone, instead of 2 parts, weighed only 187 grams at six weeks of age. Dependable Source of Income in Choice Hens During the past few years every section of the ~ountry has sutl'ered from the sudden and severe decline In the prit'e level of most f11rm products. For this reason, It Is rather significant that In the Middl-e West where the agriculturRI depression has been the most 11cute, poultry and egg prices have remained t\rm. This. more than any other factor, has cansefl farmers to realize that 11 st11ndard bred, high producing flock of cllkkens properly handled, Is a dependable source of Income 11nd that poultry keer,!ng cornpares favorably witL any other farm activity. *************************~ Poultry Facts ************************** In the United States last year 46,500 eggs were laid for every minute.

Few foodstutrs are delivered to the consumer as quickly and cleanly with as little lost motion as milk, and In bringing about this condition the bureau of dairy industry, (;nlted States Department of Agriculture, co-operat· tng with the state, city and other of· ficluls and with the dairy Industry and the public, has played an Important part, said 0. E. Reed, chief of the federal bureau, ln an address July 7 at Sacrameuto, Calif., to the California State 1\Iilk-Control conference. The feder11I bureau, he said, Is work· ) lng constantly to raise still higher the 1 general level of quality of the public ! milk and cream supply. Consumption of Products. "The consumption of dairy products In the United States can be greatly Increased," he said. "The per capita consumption of milk in this coun· try Is much lower than It Is in several other of the civilized nations. Our bureau is serving both the economic interests of the dairy Industry and the nutritional int rests of consumers. "Our bureau Is Investigating dairy sanitation, and Is devising and help· / log to Introduce better methods of producing and hanclllng fluid milk and cream," he said. "Our quality-improvement work relates to the sanitary treatment of utensils and the care of milk equipment; to the cooling of mllk and cream to prevent the growth of JJacteria; to the care of milk and cream in transit to the consumer; to efficiency in pasteurization; and to sanitation In city milk plants. Also, when asked to do so, we assist state and local authorities in formulating . legislation and ordinances for safe· guarding the milk and cream supply. As a result of this work, the bureau is able to advise dairymP'1, milk deal· ers and distributors, an . / .nilk control officials, as to methods to us() which will help to gh·e stability to the producer's market and trade conditions, and which .will provide the consumer with wholesome products." Herd Improvement. Mr. Reed emphasized that herd lm· provement by associations of dairy· men Is highly Important to the dairy Industry. "Sound economics demands that the Industry maintain only cows which produce efficiently and economically. The consumer has the right to expect that the lnrlustry will increas_e its productive efficiency," he said. I A Kurd of tho Turkey-Persia Border. (Prepar~d by the· National Geogravblc T Society. Wa.oh!ngton, D. C. l HE Kurds, who have revolted along the Turkish-Persian bor· der and against whom large Turkish forces have been oper· ating near famous .Mount Ararat, have been fighting periodically against the established states of Asia Minor for thousands of years. Always their favorite method of strife has been guerrilla warfare. They have been blstoric marauders, but perhaps the)· have every reason, so far as environ ment Is concerned, to lead such lives. State after 11tate has struek against them with forces more powerful than any they could raise. The days of Assyrian power In Mesopotamia seem pretty far back toward the beginnings of history. Records of that empire show that time and again Its soldiers were sent Into the rou!!"h country around the headwaters of the great rivers to subdue the mountaineers-ancestors of the Kurds-who harried A~syria's out· lying settlements. These same mountaineers fou~ht tl1e Armenians when the latter eame into the region betwe<'n 1,000 and GOO B. C. When Xenophon retreated from Asia 1\Iinor In 401 · B.

Since the Turks rose to power In Asia :l!inor the Kurds have fought them repeatedly; In fact, the Turks never established any considerable measure of control over these fierce, freedom-loving high· landers. Since the World war the F.uropean territory of Turkey has been negligible. The country has consisted almost solely of the big, fat peninsula lying between the Black sea. on the north and the eustern arm of the Mediterranean on the south, and au extension to the east about as broad as the Asia Minor peninsula, reaching roughly half way from the Black sea to the Caspian. The southern half ot this eastern extension-the southeast· ern corner of postwar Turkey-Is what is loosely called Kurdistan. The other half of the eastern extension, · Immediately north of Kurdistan, was once Turkish Armenia. Kurdish Sphero Is Large. Now that tens of thousands of the Armenian residents have been driven across the Russian border, while other tens of thou!'ands have perished, the region hardly deserves the old name. The Kurdish population was always high in Turkish Armenia; now it Is proportionately much greater. The whole eastern end Of present Turkey, constituting almost a third of the territory of th~ country, therefore. may roughly be eonsidered the KurdIsh sphere of Influence. It is In the I}Ortheast corner of Turkey that the Kurds have recently been most active. Geographic and political and eco. nomic complications aplenty are found 16 this region. On the east Kurdlstnn touches Persia, and the people for a conslder11hle distanee Into ) that country are Kurds, too. Indeed, Kurdish people Inhabit the entire Zagros mfluntaln range which extends · from Turkey for 600 miles to the southeast, forming the boundary between Per11ia and Iraq. The Kurds belong to the Iranian branch of the white race. Because of the open-air Ih·es which they live, most of them have hursh featuref!. The great majority are nominally Mohammedans. The plateau region Iring partly In old Armenia, partly in Kur<llstan, where many of the most warlike Kurds live, presents a good example of the efTects on man of a mixture of rugged uplands and fertile valleys. Limestone mountains and recently extinct volcanoes occupy ~he upper levels. Lower 1 are magnificent canyons cut by the Tigris and Euphrates headstreams, and numerous broad, basin-shaped valleys whose ll.oors are fertile plains.

Even the fairly recent regime of Kemal Pasha has had several Kurdish revolts on its hands. There was a sporadic uprising In Hl29; and In 1!)25 the tribesmen made an unsuccel:lsful effort to set up their own government. The scrapping of the caliphate at Constantinople aroused them and nearl:,r every change In old Moslem customs has Irritated them. Revolt after revolt has been quelled but as soon as the Kurd replenishes his forces and supplies, he is ready to attack again. The Kurd farmers of the Iraq plains are more prosperous than the tribe!'men of the hill country. Travelers climb the trails of Kurdistan for miles without seeing a village. When one does appear, It Is usually situated In a well protected spot. Houses 11re placed without regard to huilcling line and a blrd's-eye view of a village reveals a jumble of mud and stone structures.
