WENDLER, Lakeland, Fla, Far too many people make the biggest mistake in believing that any old building and any_ old feed is good enough for chickens, but this is an error, for unless the fowls have sufficient care and shelter, to pro- tect them from the cold ' winter winds, the hot summer sun and thg heavy drowning rain, success will be more or less retarded. A good poultry house can be reas- onably constructed of No. 2 siding {or just ordinary rough boards after- wards sealing the cracks with strips or tar paper, sufficiently so that there will be no hard direct drafts'on the roosts. +A house 10 x20 by six foot high in the back and seven or eight foot high in the front is sufflcxent for 100 hens. . Such a house should be built fac- ing the east or southeast in this cli- mate, while in the more northern «climate it should be facing the south, but in this climate the east facing, dettor, as-the: sun . is. usually too, ghi? byl thes Hme:dt moves: to the uthd kg gp e ig i ouusaficient sun~ éht'ruchlnz the interior of the building, and sunlight is absolutely mecessary to disinfect a building, there being no better disinfectant and preventative for mites and lice ‘than sunlight. Build the house solid on the south, west and north sides up to about six inches from 'the top leaving this for an air space, the build up the front of the house solid for four feet from the ground, leav ing the balance open or screened with poultry wire. This will give plenty of air which is very essential to poultry. Then build your roosts in the back of the house about three or four feet off the ground, four feet is preferable. This is best done by first build- ing a flooor or dropping board at the desired elevation of the roost then placing a piece of two by four omn edge across this at stated intervals and then laying, not nailing the 7008t across this. Roosts should be a plece of one by two, with the cory ners rounded off. It is well to paini the bottom sides of the roosts or at least the point where they come in coantact with the other timber, with tar, this will prevent any mites or lice crawling up from the ground to the roosts, . Some_ people prefer to use no drop- ping boards. 1If dropping boards are used they should be cleaned and dis- infected with some good coal tar or creosote disinfectant at least two or three times a week. If dropping boards are not used, the droppings should be lifted at least oncg a week and new dirt fifled in in its place and the ground disinfected or covened with lime, If a smaller house or houses are | preferred the same design can be carried out but the back and front shoutd not be less than four or five leet« high respectively and the roost pmtlouuly 80. Quite ‘a number of breeders have N successful in leaving all sides m. but we fi’oler the sheltered gides a8 it mot only protects fowls from rain b _utalso furnishes shade which s 1 and unless it ex- ists naturally must be created ar-| tificially. . A good location for the cmnll houses if constructed lightly is to place ‘them, in the orchards or groves where they can be moved from tlme to time thus kecping them on new sweet ground and doing awa with the necessity of spraying, s ‘this is essential and should be done frequently, otherwise you are sure to havé trouble with vermin: . Having ‘sglected your breed and varety, and constructing your hous the mnext step is to comstruct your yard or breeding pems. For this purpose it i8 best to endeavor 1o give the birds as much range as pos- #ible and if conditions are favorable. to let them have free range, but this is not always possible as some huv mot the requisite room then again Ahere is always the possibility of other or your neighbors chickens “Yeoming in, for this reason it is hest '{ to have your birds yarded in pens of mlw gige to give them plenty '!Mn. A pen 16 x 50 is a ni size but smaller ones do very well if the fowls have plenty of jitter, as pine straw or dried leaves (0 scrpteh in. .

C., Aug.22.—The aricultural and immigration de- pr.'ment of the Atlantic Coast Line ig ~etting up an exhibit of farm pro- ducts, vegetables and fruits, and will take this exhibit to the west the lat- ter part of this month, to be shown at various western State fairs, with a view of showing the resources of the territory through which this line operates. They have had one of their new stecl-framed express cars overhauled and painted up in a suitable manner for the purpose of transporting the exhibit. They have also advertised in the farm papers of the west, and in'the local papers at the points where the exhibits will be made, and it is ex- pected that their exhibit will attract a great deal of attention, and should be the means of bringing a great many settlers to the ‘“Nation’s Gar- den Spot.” Messrs.

They will distribute illustrated literature giving imforma- tion about the south, and will, no doubt, be called upon to answer nu- merous questions. v g The success of their unmuklnx will depend, to a certain extent, the co-opeation they receive’ the farmers along their line, ‘or- der to get the best results from this public-spirited work of the Atlanti Coast Lime, it will be neressary for our farmers who have suitable pro- ducts for this exhibit, such as native forage, corn, small grains, good sam- ples of fruits.and vegetables put up in glass, to communicate at once with E.'N. Clark, Wilmington, N. C. They are also very anxious to bor- row or buy a few good agricultural views.” As they will leave Wilmington, Aug. 27, with their exhibit, it is very important that you communicato with them gt once if rou have any- thing that you think is of special in- terest. !
