Until very recently windows in poul­ try houses have nevtfr been consid­ ered of any importance, except to give light escush to eumuiw the hens to find the roosts and the nests. We have frequently seen good sized poul­ try houses with a single window, and that placed In a position where the direct rays of the sun could never strike the floor of the house. In a little while such a house becomes foul and full of ammonia gas from tlie chemical action going on in the moist droppings. One of these in the mind of the writer had its door to {ke south and its window on the west, where much of the western sun was inter­ cepted by trees and houses. After some months the flock in this house developed a fine case of roup, which carried off 46 birds. This house was finally abandoned, as unsanitary. Had there been windows on the east, west and south sides, the house would have been a satisfactory abiding place for the fowls. We notice that a poultry writer ad­ vises that in the north there shall be windows on the south side only, and then only one In a house ten feet long. Our practice is to have the house facing the south, and to have windows on south, east and west sides, so that the rays of the sun are in the house all day long. We have yet to be convinced that such houses are enough colder at night to war- rani foregoing the extra windows, pro­ vided the windows are all tight In the casings. Taking two poultry houses, one with windows on three sides and one with windows on one side, and we believe that both would show about the same degree of temperature at night in a cold time in winter. In the day time the one with the most w&idowB would show the highest temperature, espec­ ially if the sun were shining. The light on the floor is of great value, as*, it dries up the moisture connected with the droppings. The fowls also enjoy the direct rays of the sun and will be found lying down on the floor with wings spread out. A well-constructed poultry house should have board shutters to cover the windows in cold winter nights. These should be so well made and so perfectly adjusted that the air be­ tween them and the window sash will be held in place and act as a non-con­ ductor for the heat. The cooling off of the poultry house will thus be 're­ tarded. Curtains on the inside are good and can be made of some ma­ terial that is inexpensive, but not per­ mitting the passage of air. The chief use of these curtains is to prevent the circulation of air in the poultry house. When the house is quite warm after the setting of the sun, the cooling off of the glass starts a circulation of air. The warm air pushes against the glass, cools off and falls, making room for more air. This is why people sit­ ting near a tight window on a cold day feel a draft Curtains check this operation.

When Answering Advertisements Kindly Mention Thla Panor. . fMSfifs-vpF' Pure Bred Stock. The farmer is often confronted with the question , of whether he shall pur­ chase pure bred stock or depend on the common stock of the neighbor­ hood for his supply of breeding fowls, The question should be solved some­ what in accordance with the ideal the farmer has of a flock of poultry. If he believes that any care is good enough for the hens and that they should be given no quarters in par­ ticular, ha may as profitably buy the scrub fov)i8 around him for a nom­ inal price as those of ^good breeding at a high price. But, assuming that he intends to give them good care, we would say by all means purchase pure bred stock. In his breeding op­ erations he will be able to breed up much more satisfactorily with pure breds than with mongrels. In the case of mongrels he will have all kinds of tendencies to eliminate, for mongrels contain the blood of innum­ erable breeds and straina. These dif­ fering tendencies will be continually cropping out, and it would take years to eliminate the most undesirable of them. Of course if a man is breed­ ing he must have some object in view, and the attainment of any one object is hindered by the cross tendencies to be eliminated. Is it not better to purchase birds that have been for generations bred toward a certain point? Most assuredly. Whatever object a farmer may have in view in his breeding he can find in the nu­ merous breeds someone that will place him further toward the goal than would be possible with fowls of unknown breeding. There are sev­ enty-one varieties of chickens com prised within the twenty-eight distinct breeds, and surely in these some one variety can be found that will suit the amateur fancier. In buying pure-bred stdck it Is al­ ways advisable to ro to the place from which they are to be secured and pick out the birds. There is the advantage of knowing what their sur­ roundings have been and whether other fowls in the same yard are sick or well. We have seen in the yards of some poultry fanciers birds sick with the roup and in the same yards birds that had evidently died with the same disease and which had been left lying where they perished. The writer once bought a dozen chickens that were declared to be healthy. When brought to their new quarters it was found that they were a most disrepu­ table looking lot, thin and thriftless, and all of them suffering from severe colds or perhaps roup in a mild form. The birds were promptly shipped back. If fowls are to be purchased the buyer should insist on having only good, plump, healthy fowls, true to color and true to feather. It must be remembered, however, that the pure-bred stock has been carefully reared and cared for and carefully fed, and that it must be handled the same way in the future, If good results are to be looked lor. If neglect is to be their portion, it is not likely that they will give even as good results as the mongrels, as their How's Thli?

Our state legislatures are doinfe what they can to protect, the peep1* against low grade fertilizers. Some of the states require the experiment stations to publish special bulletins on fertilizers and send them to all the farmers that want them. This is to spread the information among the farmer^ as rapidly as possible. If our farmers would avail themselves of these opportunities more than they do they would be the gainers. The fertilizer trade is already a very large one in the East and is growing rapidly in the West. All the Informa­ tion that can be gained should be laid hold of. Our best fertilizer firms are selling only good materials and are as anxious as the farmers Can be to keep the poor goods out of the mar­ ket. Any attempt to enforce the fer­ tilizer laws always has the support of these companies, for their worst enemies are the small companies that are selling inferior goods at a low price. The farmer thinks he is get­ ting a bargain in buying these cheap goods and so goes to the men that sell him the poorest stuff and make the most out of him. If the men that are selling the cSeap fertilizers sold it as low as do the men that sell only high grade fertilizers the men that sell the poor stuff would have to go out of business. They sell the poor stuff and make money by really getting for the fertilizers contained a greater price than the others do. The farmer is finding this out only slowly. Some of the large firms stoop to create bogus companies that sell this material. The writer happened in the territory of one such firm doing busi­ ness in the southern part of Illinois. The large firm in question had an agency in the place and this agency sent out two sets of agents, one set representing the agency and the oth­ er representing a fictitious company supposed to be located in the same place. The cheap material was work­ ed off under the name of the bogus company and generally on farmers to whom could not be sold the high- priced goods, but who wanted some­ thing cheap. It was found best to sell mostly to farmers too far away to come to the place and look up the headquarters. But one day a farmer who had been buying the cheap goods came into the agency referred to and said he was very much dissatisfied with the. fertilizers of the company he had been buying of, and he wanted to be directed to their store. The agent informed hinj that the company he was looking for had formerly been located in that neighborhood, but had been burned out and had gone out ol business, but that he would-be glad to supply the farmer with goods that Could not be found fault with. The farmer that is always looking at the price and not at the quality at the same time is always getting beaten iu his trades. It is impossible that it should be otherwise as long as there are unscrupulous men that are making a living in commercial ventures. Professor Hopkins has been telling the farmers that they must ignore ev­ erything in fertilizers except the ele­ ments that thejK are looking for, and he is right. It is. not a question of how many tons of fertilizing material a farmer buys, but of how many pounds of potassium, phosphorus and nitrogeif he is getting, and at what cost per pound. Fear That Succulent Bivalve May Be» come High-Priced Dainty. As the Chesapeake oyster crop has gfown annually less, the general de­ mand has grown annually greater. The oyster appetite prevails from the Alleghenies to the Rockies, and the great interior has in the past looked to the Chesapeake bay to meet the demand for the savory mollusk. But in recent years this general demand has been supplied largely from the bayous and estuaries of the gulf roast. The Inlets from the.Long Island sound and those that indent the coast of New Jersey are also producing an out­ put of high-grade oysters that is in­ creasing constantly from a careful and intelligent system of» artificial culture. Many of these northern beds are sup­ plied with youril oysters from the lower Chesapeake, especially from Virginia waters. Original propagation has been adopted in many of the northern waters where the natural supply has become almost extinct. Notwithstanding the fact that the oyster product has been increased vastly in other sections by artificial breeding, the present, price of the oyster is double that which prevailed | a generation back. It is to be feared that the oyster may in time become a high-priced dainty instead of a-gen­ eral article of diet. , ^ Every housekeeper. jmouid know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.--one full pound--while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack­ ages, and the price is the same, 10 cents.

Another feature of engineering work for farm drainage in which there should be great improvement is that of maps and records. At Ames, on the college farm, the present author­ ities have had predecessors who put in quite extensive amounts of tile drains without leaving accurate plats, so that in many places we cannot now find even where the drains were built, to say nothing of their sizes, grades and depths. In making exca­ vations old lines of tile whose very existence was not suspected are not infrequently encountered, and tbe writer knows of places where at least two systems of tiles in the same lo­ cality have been put in by successive generations of authorities. The same or a worse state of affairs must result oa individual farms throughout the state, as time goes by and the farms change owners, unless the present al­ most total neglect of keeping com­ plete records of all tile drains built is remedied. Even if the land does not change owners, men's memories fail, and the„ writer has often noted that even after a very few years men who actually help build drains are fre­ quently unable to loe^te them with­ in a considerable distance. Without cc.plete maps showing'the particu­ lar of our drains how can we hope to ke.,j them in working order! The bri'king and choking up of a single till1 might render many acres of land worthless in a wet season, and cause em..<gh damage in a single year to ha .a paid ten times over for records wL.ch would have enabled the dif­ ficulty to be located and remedied at less than one dollar's expense.--Iowa Station. > Water Glass for Keeping Eggs.
