Twelve young generally constitute a Utter, one pair often raising three families a year. The mother, kangaroo-like, carries her offspring in a pouch, and she Is sometimes fonDd with newly bora yonng In her cradle, while twelve live ly youngsters of the first litter sport on her back. With so many a season and all bun gry for poultry and eggs you can easily see how detrimental one pair may be to a community. It is hunted for its fiesh. fur and the penalty ofteD lm posed. They are easily trapped, and their capture always means a furry foe less And a good roast for dinner. D0NT8. Don't neglect to provide shade or your chickens will get sunstroke.

#IS§££ | Mo. we didn't mean yoc; we meant Insanitary crowded quarters and I ought to have a roost coop when they are two or three months old.

They'll not. get deformed on tbem say more than on the dltiy brood coop fioor. Pat In an older chick to teach them to roost or place them on the roost yourself, and they'll soon get the habit THE HOTHOUSE HENHOUSE. We don't know who originated the greenhouse plan of building hen houses. Some fellow perhaps with a hotbed I or a hot head. It's likely hts radishes and lettuce 1 grew nicely under glass and he got I the idea that a glass top or front to i Us chicken boose would be Jest the , stuff to make poultry thrive and eggs multiply. < When he went out on a cold wintry morning and found the whole glass trpai covered with frost and his hens cBmbe f rosed stiff be concluded that , too much glass isn't good for egg plants. One of onr friends has recent - i ly. pot a whole glass roof and front to his henhouse. When the "beautiful anew" gets on that crystal root if It doesn't break down, there will cer , tain I j be some leaking, and his roupy chickens will do some squeaking. The more glass yon have the more | cold In winter and heat In summer There's ho awful hot place down j below to which we don't Intend to go. i J To get acclimated for that^ place one need only tend bens In a hothouse ■ j Pen. To keep healthy bens need comfort 1 able winter quarters where they have pure, fresh air, and In summer they i must be kept cool aa possible. Don't use large, expensive glass, as the panes are frequently broken. Leghorns sometimes flying right through them. For light we find four double sasb. j six 8x10 lights to the sasb, sufficient for every forty feet of space, the house being nine foot front seven foot I back and twelve wide. A great many have the windows too high Tbey get little sunshine from them, and on cloudy days hens cannoi Bee to eat. Our windows are eight inches from the cement floor, and we find that Just right for light while the bens enjoy the scenery when the weather Is unfit for them to be out In case this brings the sash down Dear the ground you must screen the lower sasb outside or roosters will fight through the windows and crack their FEATHER8 AND EGGSHELL 8Tes. there Is such a thing as a sissy rooster Just as there Is a stagy man. ( The fellow who w backs you In the shin when you catch his bens, tells you to get your hair cut when you go Into the pena. w backs the other roosters over the bead aud crows old lazybones out of bed. thafh our style, and he's worth while. Mythology declares that this world came from an egg. We were not there and. of course, are not qualified to give an eggs-pert opinion. It looks, bow ever, as If the egg has something to do with the financial world when the world's gold output is $427,000,000, . that of the United States $96,000,000. while the American ben's products In this country alone reached $600,000,000. Aa Easter Is the heyday of the egg, so the day after Easter Is often the doctor's beyday and It Is also a hlgb ■ day for tbe papas of those little boys who eat so many Easter eggs. . The reason setting hens often have | diarrhea is because greens, mash and | cut bone are fed.

It's not our funeral, but we wish some of them would sur prise us with practical information Instead of fussin'. cussln' and vituperation. Oats is one of the beat summer feeds, but plenty of sharp grit and water must be on band to soak and grind such grain When bens run much In tbe wet. feed oats. It prevents diarrhea.
