1 PAGE FOUR TEL PADUCAH EVENING SUN THURSDAY APRIL 80. THE FARMER'S COLUMN Poultry Pointers. Poultry houses may be built more open and consequently less expensively, in our Southern States than in the North, according to investigators of the department. However, a house which gives satisfaction in Maine will also give good results in Texas or California. The best site for a poultry house in any location is one where good water and air drainage are available.
The floor and yards will then be dry. The house should not occupy a low hollow in which cold air settles. Wherever possible a southern or southeastern exposure should bel selected, although this is not tial if there is any good reason for facing the house in a different direction. "Poultry House Construction" is the title of the department's new Farmers' Bulletin (No. 574), in which are explained the main features that should be considered, and in which pictures and plans of satisfactory houses are shown.
Every poultryman who contemplates erecting new poultry buildings should write to the department for this bulletin, which will be sent him on application, as long as the department's supply lasts. The "Intensive System" and the System." There are two popular ways in which to raise poultry, the "intensive system" and the "colony system." The first of these aims to save steps, and accomplishes this purpose. Long stationary houses are used. It is easier, however, to keep the birds healthy and to reproduce the stock under the second system. Under the colony system the birds are allowed free range, the houses, which hold about 100 hens each, being placed from 200 to 250 feet apart, so that the stock will not kill the grass.
This system may be adapted to severe winter conditions by drawing the colony houses together in a convenient place at the beginning of winter, thus reducing the labor during the cold months. The first system is more suited for hens used solely for the production of market eggs than for those used to breed stock. As Few Fences As Possible. Fences mean an outlay of money, and this outlay is more or less continuous, as they must be maintained after being installed. There should be as few fences as possible dividing the lots and the yards, as land can be kept "sweet" more easily if not fenced, and fresh, sweet land is a valuable asset in poultry raising.
On good soil, a greensward may be kept up by allowing 200 to 250 square feet of land per bird. This means 217 or 174 birds per acre. severe censure, It contained provisions of real benefit to the traveling public and did not bear unjustly on the railroads. We really should have known that these things being so, there must be something wrong with the bill somewhere. The whole capitol force evidently labored under the same cobwebby delusion as did the legislators, that they were wide-awake, when in reality babes-in-arms could have progressed as well.
AND THE OTHERS--WHAT OF THEM? While doubt still prevails over the real intention of Huerta to accept mediation in a spirit which will make mediation possible, as -an agent of restoring peace in Mexico, Carranza and Villa are, as the situation stands, the greatest obstacles to the course of peace. Huerta may be willing to efface himself, but it may be regarded as a positive fact that neither of the rebel chieftains will consent to a diminution of their powers and what disposition is to be made of them will probably overtax the brains of the A. B. C. diplomats at the first stage.
With Carranza and Villa, all hopes of power and glory lie in the eventual conquest of that part of Mexico now in the hands of Huerta, and the ousting of that gentleman. For nothing else have they been fighting than to replace the present dictator with one of their precious selves. Their chances are growing brighter daily, or at least were, until the United States began to reach out for the Federal ruler. Now if Huerta will step down, what of these two? The United States cannot elevate either to power, that would be taking sides, and in all probability neither will submit himself to the people as candidates in an election. They will argue that they have fought to free Mexico, and place the real patriots, of the country in power and will object to a balloting which may be controlled by the Huerta gang.
Unless logic has lost its value, we will be, if successful in eliminating Huerta, dealing with just one-third of the problem' which confronts us. Peace sings lustily, but the chorus hasn't taken up the lilt of the song yet.

THE CORN BOYS AGAIN, Fourteen boy members of clubs in Kentucky in the season of 1913 raised over 75 bushels of corn to the acre.
Of this number the lowest raised a fraction over the required seventy-five and the highest attained the unusual mark of 131.5 bushels to the acre. No more ing proof could be asked for the scientific teaching of agriculture. These boys are typical of the new era of Kentucky farm life. They do their work in a way which couples knowledge of books and practical experience and the results are close to perfection. Farmers of the older generation will do well to observe these youths, Age may learn while it has strength to labor on, and the true road to success is the utilization of every power at hand for the best possible results.
The Kentucky corn clubs have done a great work, we may better say, begun it, for the end is far off. THE OIL QUESTION. Doubtless citizens will feel that the offer of oiling the "streets, on condition that residents pay a portion of the cost, is rather unjust, throwing as it does a burden supposed to be taken care of by taxes, on their shoulders a second time. It is unjust, just as it was unbusinesslike and unfair for officials to Intrude their private opinions on the board of works and influence them against the will of the people, But under the circ*mstances we vise letting spilt milk absorb without adding our tears to it. and making the best shift we can for ourselves, inasmuch as mutual comfort and protection is the stake.
There is no question but that the funds of the street department are inadequate for oiling the streets. The reason is double edged, first because one of our boards, (no one can well tell which), wasted its substance, and secondly because the declaration of a "no oil" policy very rightly caused the council to keep the appropriation light. So unless private pockets will pay for public comfort we cannot take advantage of the eleventh hour capitulation of the city. When one considers the excessive irritation and annoyance dust causes and realizes that oil is the only efficient product to keep it down, the cost is light for the article. Fifteen dollars to the average block would mean little over a dollar for the season from each householder, and a dollar's worth of dusting and as much of inconvenience, discomfort and danger from disease will be saved in a week.
We urge acceptance of this proposal, realizing that it is not a fair one, for the good of the city's inhabitants and for the sake of civic pride. MORE JOKERS. The news is trickling out of Frankfort that the enacting clause was left off the two and one-half cent fare bill, and it is believed that for this reason the law will be invalid. The 1911 legislature seems to have stacked its Pandora's box full, and it, will take a cunning prophet to tell. when we will receive the last jolt from the works, finished and unfinished, of that most august body.
The two and a half cent fare bill was one of the pitiful few that could not be subjected to More space is necessary on poor or light land. A larger number of fowls are usually kept to the acre where double yards are used and the land is frequently cultivated. Plymouth rocks and the heavy meat breeds in small yards require fences 5. to 6 feet high, while a fence 6 to 7 feet high is necessary for leghorns. The upper 2 feet of the fence for the latter may be inclined inward at an angle of 30 degrees, or a strand of barbed wire may be used on top of the regular wire, to keep them confined.
It is also sometimes necessary to clip the wing feathers of one wing of these birds that persist in getting out, A board or strip along the top of the fence is not advisable. Hens will often fly over such an arrangement. Posts may be set or driven into the ground. They should be set 8 to 10 feet apart, with common poultry netting, or 16 to 20 feet, with woven Corner posts should be about 8 inches in diameter and be set. 4 feet in the ground, while intervening posts may be 4 or 5 inches in diameter and set 3 feet in the ground.
That part of the post which is set in the ground may be charred or treated with some wood preservative to advantage, while corner posts should be firmly braced or set in cement. Paint Adds Both 1 to Appearance and Service. All buildings and appliances on a poultry farm will be improved greatly, both in appearance and in serviceability by the addition of paint. One may buy paints, or may purchase paste pigments and oil and mix them. All surfaces should be clean and dry before they are painted.
Use a priming coat made of equal parts of paint; and linseed oil and cover. with one or more coats of paint, which should be thoroughly rubbed into the surface. Whitewash is the cheapest of all paints, and may be used either for exterior or interior surfaces. It can be made by slaking about 10 pounds of quicklime in a pail with 2 gallons of water, covering the paid with a cloth or burlap and allowing it to slake for one hour. Water is then added to bring the whitewash consistency which may be applied readily.
A weatherproof whitewash for exterior surfaces may be made as follows: (1) Slake 1 bushel of quicklime in 12 gallons of hot water; (2) dissolve 2 pounds of common salt and 1 pound. of sulphate of zine in 2 gations of boiling water; pour (2) into (1), then add 2 gallons of skim milk and mix Whitewash is spread lightly over the surface with a broad brush. Sherman has been assisting the boys in preparing themselves for the big event.
