Beverly Ihills, ponder on Italys Would Solve Most Problems in Poultry Housing. against what she gains, the more Im reminded of the old story of the Confederate who was released from a northern prison camp after THROUGH WINDOW IS NEEDED By W. A. Foster, Agriculture Department, WNU Service. University of Illinois. Bad as poultry housing conditions are, a brick-ba- t through the window is all that is needed to solve the trouble in some cases. However, even the brick-ba- t cure will not work if it does not break out enough glass to let in the minimum need of fresh air, he said. Some poultry houses are so bad that fresh air only filters in through the cracks, while in other houses all the fresh air that ever gets in is what comes through the door when the operator enters or leaves. Too much fresh air makes a cold, drafty house, and too little air movement causes a foul smelling, stuffy, soggy house. Neither condition is favorable to health or good egg production. The open front house, with intelligent control, takes care of most weather conditions in Illinois. A long roll curtain of muslin or burlap will prevent drafts and still allow fresh air to filter" in. This curtain rolled on a rug pole or clothes line prop may be rolled up or down and suspended in any size opening by a pair of light ropes at each end. The fabric must be cleaned frequently to remove the dust so the air can filter through. Another method of closing the open front is to make a set of frames similar to screen frames to fit the opening, cover them with muslin and hinge them at the top like a cellar sash. While' the muslin will clog with dust, these sashes are convenient and easily closed where necessary. Completely closing the open front with glass or other material through which the air cannot pass causes a foul condition In the house. When temperatures are predicted, there is a strong temptation to close the house to keep it warm. This usually results in moisture which Increases from day to day and makes the house damp and sub-norm- cold. Only Few Poor Birds Affect Crate Prices Poultry commission merchants In Chicago are calling attention of shippers to the importance of shipping only good quality birds to market. If a crate of chickens contains a few birds of poor quality, the price of the whole crate will be affected and will be considerably lower than It would be if all the birds were of uniformly good quality. When dressed poultry is shipped it is important that it be dressed in good shape, for feathery, bruised or discolored poultry will bring a poor price even though it may have been well fattened. It is important that dressed poultry be thoroughly cooled before being packed for shipment It should not, however, be chilled or frozen. Thin poultry, either live or dressed, should be kept at home. Remember in loading poultry 'for shipment that appearance is a large factor in selling. Therefore, have the birds uniformly graded, keep the good birds together, and keep the poor birds at home to sell on some local market where they will not discount the price of all the rest of your shipment As a rule, the commission men do the best they can to get good prices for your poultry, but they ask for your in order that they may be able to get these prices. over-scalde- Cull Non-Produce- rs Low producing birds generally are kept at a loss rather than a profit so it Is important to cull out these birds' as soon as they and the can be Identified. The pullets which are to become the high producers start to lay early. These may be banded and should constitute thfe breeding flock when pullets are used for breeders. Late maturing birds, not in production, should be dressed for market During the year, there will be individuals that will go out of production from time to time. They should be dressed for market, in order to reduce feed costs. Monument to Hen In Little Compton, R. I., there is a monument to the Rhode Island Red, the first and only monument erected to a hen.

Habits count for more than maxims, because habit is a living maxim, become flesh and instinct To reform ones maxims is nothing; it is but to change the title of the book. To learn new habits is everything, for it is to reach the substance of life. Life is but a tissue of habits.
