Poultry Houses and Equipment_ Continued from last week iWhere a specialty is made of poultry it. pays to use trap nests. These are so arranged that the hen is caught when she goes in to lay and cannot get out until the attendant comes along and releases her. By having the hens numbered with leg bands a :record can be kept of the eggs laid by «web one. Thus those that never lay can be culled out and sent to the butcher and the eggs of the highest .iproducing ones kept for raising pul- lets to increase the flock. In this way ] the. average egg yield can be increased 1 considerably. It is important in this connection to make especial note ofl {those hens which do most of their! daying in the winter months, as they | gate of considerably more value than‘ ;the ones that lay in the summer, when eggs are cheap. Yards and Fences. , On the farm there is little need for granny yards about the poultry house. "The chief need for fences is to keep ithe poultry away from the garden and ihouse. For this purpose woven Wire jfence with hexagonal meshes is best. “The meshes should be small enough at "the bottom to keep out the small chick- ens. The wire should not be smaller "than eighteen or nineteen gauge. An important point to look to is the gal- .vanizing. This galvanizing is a layer .of zinc. that is muted oven the wire to Qlieep it from rusting. There are two ‘mcthods of galvanizing. known as “aft- er” and “before.” The former is ap- plied to fencing galvanized after it is woven and the latter to that galvanized before. The “after” galvanized fenc- ting‘ can be told from the fact that the joints where the cross wires are twist- d‘tl together are filled with zinc. When .thc wire is galvanized before weaving the zinc is cracked more or loss in the ‘- weaving process and rust readily gets a foothold. ' The “after” galvanized jwii‘e sometimes costs a little more, but: ‘it lasts about five times as long. Coops. The chief equipment, aside from houses and fences, is coups. It is more | economical to make theSe fairly large, so as to hold a hundred chickens or so. i A coop sixteen feet long. two. feet 'wlde and about two feet high in front. with the roof sloping toward the back, .is convenient and cheap. it can be di- vided into eight or ten compartments and will do for as many hens and their 1 broods. The partitions should be about I six feet long and a foot high. This will ‘ uliow them to project in front about.I afour feet.

This trouble can be avoided by building a number of small colony houses. A convenient rize for these houses is 8 by 10 feet. Such a house will hold a hundred chicks until they are nearly full grown. it may he built on the same plan as the main poultry house without the scratching shed part. It should be built on runners. so that: it can be hauled about from one place to an- other, as is most convenient. These colony houses are practically indispen- sable when poultry raising is conducted on a large scale. In such case it is best to build these houses in a substan- zJal fashng so that they may be used many sent-sous.

To be able to grow cabbage success fully in any season the soil should be in such a condition that the water will pass through it as freely as it would through a piece of pumice stone or , porous rock. As a general rule, the' poorer the soil the drier and more| porous it is. Thus it is that on the comparatively poor farms better late cabbages are grown than in the mar. ket gardens that are very rich. A sod field broken early in the spring and well manured has generally been found to grow the best cabbage. This does not apply to the early crops. These do best on the soils that are rich and full of humus. Low priced fertilizers sometimes give as good results as the higher priced goods; but, on the whole, it will pay to be liberal with nitrogen. The two experiments indicate that it is profit- able to use nitrate of soda on the plant beds at the rate of 450 to 600 pounds per acre.

The wild type is still growing on the chalk clilfs of the Eng- lish channel. On the cliffs of south- eastern England is now found a plant similar to the Georgia collards. There are three distinct types of cab- bilge with reference to the shape of the headâ€"namely, round, oval and flat. Some varieties are distinct in type, while others partake of two or more shapes due to crossing in seed produc- tion. There is much variation in the shape, color, character and texture of the leaf, ranging from regular straight edges. almost white, smooth and tender, to irregular, almost fringed edges, dark purple color and coarse, tough texture. Generally speaking. all varieties are hardy, but there is some variation in hardiness. Usually the purplish green varieties with crinkled and fringed leaves are hardler than the whitish mmvmmm as also, i EHABTEREB fiSCQB-li'iieill, SUCCIZSSOR 'l‘O ' J. SOOTHERAN.

For a very early crop the seed may be sown in :1 Well prepared seed bed outside in September and the plants be wintered over in a cold frame or. by mulching with straw in a sheltered place. These plants may be set out- very early in spring, long before spring grown plants may be used. To make extra good plants they will need to be taken from the seed bed and be pricki ed out two inches apart in other beds. By setting a succession of plants the crop may be constant from May or June until Christmas. The plants of early varieties are set out in spring as early as the weather permits in rows three feet apart and- two feet apart in the rows. The full grown plants are often planted in the field in November. Furrows are turn- ed where the rows are to be and the plants are set low in the furrows, so as to be protected. North and south fur- rows with plants set on the east side are satisfactor , although east and west: furrows are sometimes preferred. Later varieties require more room. Early plants must be set deepâ€"that is, so the base of the leaves is below the ground. If freezing weather comes the plants may be covered With earth until danger from frost is over. The illustration showing the roots of a cabbage is an interesting study. Analysis of Sorghum. Analysis shows that, considering the amount of protein and fat contained in- sorghum. it is about equal to timothy hay as feed. In point of the amount of nitipgen, free extract, it is about half as rich in these elements as tim- othy. Timothy contains 5 per cent; protein, 45 percent nitrogen, free ex- tract, and 3hper cent fat. Sorghum contains 4.5' percent protein, 23 per cent nitrogen,‘frc'e extract, and 3.25. per cent fat. Fraudulent Cheese. The bureau of chemistry of the United States department of agricul-t lure has come out flat footed in answer to the question “When is cheese not- cheese?" They say that when :lt’ls. "soaked curd” it cannot be sold a . cheese. Pseudo cheese is produced by. soaking the curd at a certain stage In cold water, draining it and putting tho curd to press.
