Jacobs, Arkansas. front is left open save for the wire netting, as.shown in the cut, but a burlap curtain is provided which may be lowered in extremely cold weather. The roof is covered with No. 2 boxing and shingled. But if the builder so desires he can use any of the specially prepared roofing materials which, though probably not so durable as the shingles, would have the advantage of being cheaper. A cheaper grade of lumber could be used with equal satisfaction in the construction of the walls. The total cost of such a house will depend on the cost of material, which varies in different localities. Every hen should be allowed six square feet of floor space. Each, bird of the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte 4 nd other general purpose breeds requires The first consideration is the selec- tion of a suitable location for the poul- try plant. An elevation having nat- ural drainage away from the area where the building is to be placed should be sought, as the ground, no matter of what nature, will be cold and unhealthy if damp. If the pro- posed site does not afford drainage naturally it should be provided in the form of a thorough system of under- drainage. A dry, porous soil of a sandy or gravelly nature is much more satisfactory than an impervious clay soil, as that of the more open nature is more easily kept in a clean and sanitary condition. A pure, sandy soil is not desirable, however, as a soil which will not support plant life will prove unsatisfactory for poultry. about nine inches of perch room. Leghorns, Minoreas, Spanish, etc., abot eight inches. Brahma and Langshans ten inches. Roosts should be made low or near the ground—not higher than two feet. There are several, reasons for this. Fowls of the heavier breed cannot fly high\ and those of the lighter breeds frequently injure the soles of their feet in jumping from high perch- es. Roosts should be made all the same heights. For if they are made some higher than others the birds will all flock to the highest ones and crowd, which is undesirable. When dropping boards are used they should be low down to permit of easy cleaning. They should be made Poultry Nests.

She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratch- ihg: “I‘had her under the doctor's care for a year and a half and he seemed to do her no good. I took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But if I had depended on the doctor my baby would have lost’ ner mind and died from the want of aid. But I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and she was cured in three months. Alice L.

One day, being left alone with her curly- headed baby brother, she promptly cut every curl*from the back-of his | head. When the nurse discovered the dam- age, she said: “Oh, May, how dare you cut baby’s curls off?” “He cut them hisself.” “How did he reach the back of his head?” “He stood on the stool.” PATENTS.

A Practical Suggestion. It was his first Sunday school and he sat in the infants’ department eagerly watching the superintendent illustrate the lesson on the board. The superin, tendent drew the path to heaven—one straight line— and started the figure of.a man on it. Gradually the man became larger and larger and finally when he arrived at the gate of heaven he could not get in. The superintendent turned to his small audience and, in a tragical and sorrowful tone, said: “You see he is so puffed up with sin that he cannot enter in.” “Try him sideways, mister, try him sideways,” came the small shrill voice from the infants’ department. A Poor Provider. The Kentucky colonel pointed with extreme disgust at a man across the street. Then he said: “There goes that fellow Simpson with a fifty-pound sack of flour, and I'll bet he hasn't a drop of liquor in the house.” A Sure Cure.

Should a list of the ingredients of Pe- runa be submitted to any medical ex- pert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that the medicinal herbs com- posing Peruna are of twokinds. First, standard and well-tried catarrh reme- dies. Second, well-known and gener- ally acknowledged tonis remedies. ‘That'in one or the other of these use# they have stood the test of many years’ experience by physicians of different schools. There can be no dispute about this, whatever. Peruna is composed of some of the most efficacious and uni- versally used herbal remedies for ca- tarrhal diseases, and forsuch conditions of the human system as require a tonic. Each one of the principal ingredients of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh or as a tonic medicine. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis- ease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chroniccatarrh. They have visited doc- tors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There-is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to pre- scribe for them. No other household remedy so uni- versally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the ful} inspec‘ion of the critics. Friendéhip may have the true ring. but the ring of courtship is more ex- pensive. ESN NNAT EY DODDS | What is Castoria.
