Chickens raised on grandfathers farm roosted In the apple tree or on the Under reel because these places were accessible, convenient and neither crowded hor stuffy, it Is pointed out by W. A. Foster of the farm mechanics department,, college of agriculture, University of Illinois. This choice of biddy's should be a valuable guide to the modem poultryuian who Is planning to build a new chicken house or remodel the old one, Foster ays. Suitable housing Is Just as Important as the care of the flock because It provides for the comfort of the birds at all seasons. Furthermore, It Is convenient for the attendant. In addition, to be effective and efficient, the house should be simple In construction In order to keep the cost and upkeep low. A nent, attractive house adds to the appearance of the building group and value of the farm. The comfort of the birds Is secured through freedom from dampness and drafts and provisions for ample floor space In feeding and roost space for night. An abundant supply of fresh air and sunlight promoter the health, vigor and comfort of the birds. A dry house requires a dry floor placed on a porous, site, f a roof, tight walls and close-fittedoors and windows. Proper ventilation supplies fresh air to the birds, removes the moisture from the breathed air and litter and minimizes drafts, which are disastrous to the flock when the birds are Inactive on the roosts at night. This ventilation may be provided In several ways. The apple-tre- e roosts of a generation ago were well ventilated. The open machine shelter where the range flocks like to roost Is also well ventilated. Biddy's choice, then, may require a little thought on our part. Why did she choose a perch on the harvester's reel? It was accessible, convenient and neither crowded nor stuffy as many roosts In the modem hen house. Open-fron- t houses provide ventilation and sunlight, but must be used with common sense to avoid undesirable drafts. A southern exposure Is desirable. Modern ventilation equipment has advanced many steps In recent years. It Is not yet but will require further study and Intelligent handling. A poultry house of simple construction Is not only desirable but necessary to the success of the venture. Simple construction enables the attendant to build houses and Install equipment which would be prohibitive If skilled labor was employed. A neat, attractive, well-kep- t poultry house surrounded by a healthy, vigorous flock should be the pride of every poultry raiser. It Is not only encouraging to the owner but an asset In marketing the products." well-draine- d lead-prood Enough Said Why dont you like motoring with Bill Sparks, Maggie?

A hard base, at least six Inches thick, is required on all roads subjected to frequent motor traffic. Such a base will successfully withstand the destructive impact of heavy trucks. Its aggregates are so firmly bound together by tiie cement that they cannot be loosened. With a solid base, the wearing surface will have a firm, even foundation, which will Insure a top" that will not be full of holes due to the foundation being broken and pounded into the subgrade. An inspection of the 1917 report of the state highway department of New York reveals the fact that road maintenance costs depend upon the character of the base. All the bituminous or asphaltic concrete pavement laid on a macadam base show very high maintenance costs, while those which are laid on a concrete base show very much lower maintenance. That modern traffic requires at i least concrete base is recoga nized by almost all road builders.
