GOOD FENCES ARE REQUIRED
Fowls Running at Large Destroy Gar.
dens and Flower Beds—Confine
Them In Yards.
(Prepared t>y the United States Depart
ment of Agrleulture.)
Confine the back-yard flock; other
wise the hens •will stray Into neigh
bors’ yards and gardens, where they
may cause damage and are almost
sure to cause ill feeling. Ihe yard
should be inclosed by a boat'd or wire
fence. Wire fencing is preferable, as
it is cheaper and the hens are less
likely to fly over it, say poultry spe
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. If cats prove
troublesome where one is raising
chickens, It may be necessary to cover
the top of the yard with wire also. A
board should not be'hsed at the top of
a wire fence, as this gives the hens r
visible place to alight and tends to
teach them to fly over.
A 5-foot fence is high enough for
most conditions, but if the hens show
a tendency to fly over such a fence
\ the flight feathers of one wing should
lie clipped. Leghorns need a 6-foot
fence. The larger the yard which can
tie provided the better the hens will
do, as it not only gives them greater
opportunity to exercise, but also
makes It possible to maintain a sod
on the yard. In most cases not enough
land will be available so that a sod can
lie maintained.
If the yard is fairly large, it can be
divided into two. parts and green
crops, such as oats, wheat, rye, or
Dwarf Essex rape allowed to start in
one yard while the hens are confined
to the other. The green crops should
be sown very thick, and the following
quantities will be found satisfactory
for a yard 25 by 30 feet: Wheat, 2%
pounds; oats, 1V& pounds; rye, 3*4
pounds, rape, 5 ounces. When the
growing stuff reaches a height of 3
to 4 Inches the hens can be turned
upon It and the other yard be simi
; larly sown.
Where it is inadvisable to divide
the yard it is possible to keep a sup
ply of green stuff growing by using a
wooden frame 2 or 3 inches high cov
ered with 1-Inch-mesh wire. A frame
made of 1 by 2-inch lumber, 6 feet
long and 3 feet wide, with an addi
tional piece across the center to sup
i port the wire when the hens stand on
I It, will be found desirable for a small
| yard. A part of the yard as large as
j this frame is spaded up and sown, the
! frame placed over it, and the mate
rial allowed to grow. As soon as the
j green sprouts reach the wire the hens
Common Poultry Netting Make* a
Very Satisfactory Fence.
will begin to pick them off, but since
they cannot eat them down to the
roots the sprouts will continue to grow
and supply green material. This
frame cun be moved from place to
place in the yard; and in this way
different parts cultivated.
The yard should be stirred or
spaded ip frequently, If not in sod. In
order to keep it in the best condition.
This will not only tend to keep down
any odors which might arise, but also
allow the droppings to be nhsorbed
Into the soil more readily, and. there
fore, keep the yard in bettor condi
tion for tile hens.
Although it is necessary to keep the
liens confined to their yard most of
the time, it is sometimes possible to
let them out where they may range
upon the lawn for an hour or to In
the evening when some one can be at
hand to watch them or at certain sea
sons of the year to allow them to run
in the garden plot. This will be en
joyed greatly by the hens and will be
very beneficial to them.
CONTROL INTESTINAL WORMS
Best Way Is to Change Ground Upon
Poultry Run, Especially if
Fowls Are Crowded.
Changing the ground upon which
poultry run Is the best means of con
trolling Intestinal worms in poultry,
because the worms or eggs of the
worm will stay over in the ground
from one season to another, especial
ly if the poultry is overcrowded.

NAPHTHA MADE TROUBLE.
A curious result of a railroad ac
cident in which 8,000 gallons of
naphtha were spilled, is reported
from Itoelofs, Pa. The oil ran into
a pit and the odor was so penetrat
mg that cattle died and one man
succumbed. As time went on the
inhabitants of the town Were at
tacked by a sloping sickness and
everyone began to drowse. A num
ber of residents moved out of town
until the naphtha dried up. S'ien

SAW BIG PLOT IN FOOTBALL
Hard to Convince Turkish Authorities
That the Game Was Not Revolu
tionary Camouflage.
___
It has always been a difficult matter
to be a sportsman In Turkey. One
Turk, Rechad Bey, tried It with a re
sult weird enough to serve as a basis
for a defective story.
It appenrs that the young Turk had
| organized a football team among bis
friends, together with some Greeks
and Armenians, and began practicing.
Shortly thereafter, in the middle of
the night, police cnme to his house
and carried him off to Scutari. There
he was submitted to a long examina
tion as to the club nnd the game of
football.
The authorities were convinced that
they had found a great plot, and that 1
the club must be a secret society. A
special messenger was sent for the j
ball, and that was duly examined and ;
found to be an Infernal machine. The :
rules of the game were considered to |
l he another piece of damning evidence, i
and still worse were the sweaters and !
colors of the club.
After long deliberation the culprit '
was sent to the higher police author!- j
ties In Stnmboul, who went through a ;
second long examination and came to |
I the conclusion that the empire had j
been saved from disintegration by the !
early discovery of a great plot. They j
dispatched the whole matter to be In- |
j quired into nt the sultan’s palace at
I Yiidlz, and a special commission took
| the matter In hand.
After much careful thought and ex
amination of the evidence of the crime
it was decided that there might he
nothing In it, hut that it must not he
committed again.
Royalty in a Freight Yard. .
Lieutenant Commander Hugo W.
Koehler In the World's Work says:
Our nearest neighbors in a squalid
out-freight yard where we took uf>
quarters in Novorossisk were the for
mer president of the Vladikavkaz rail
road, the best system in Russia, who,
with his children and grandchildren,
occupied one small'coach. The Grand
1 Duchess Marie Pavlova with members
! of her former suite and their families,
also had a single couch, while her son,
the Grand Duke Audrey, with Ills son
j of oddly indefinite parentage and said '
i son’s mother, a famous ballerina in
her day, likewise lived for months in
a tiny railroad coach on tlie opposite
side of our mudhole. The grand
duchess -was a charming lady, nor did
the terror of her situation and the
utter squalor of our surroundings take
one whit from her delightful sense of
humor and her quality of une grande
■’diue.
Pioneer Log Building Restored.
An old log building, near Chehalis,
Waste, which housed one of the first
federal courts ever held in the Pacific
northwest, has been rehabilitated and
presented to the state. The building,
erected In 1845, housed Gen. Phil Sher
idan and Gen. George B. McClellan
when they were In the northwest be
fore the Civil war and had to travol
between Fort Vancouver, on the Co
lumbia river, and Fort Steilacoon, on
, Oncrpt sound.
SYMPATHY THAT WAS fi-AL
Youngster, Himself Often !», Trouble,
Had a Fellow-Feeling for Prin
cipal in “Hot Water."
The principal of the school had
said some things which angered
some of the board members, so he
was accordingly summoned before
that body. And of course word
went around the building from
teacher to teacher and pupil to pu
pil that the principal was to be
called “on the green carpet.”
Accordingly, the teachers and
the most favored pupils began to
express their indignation of the af
fair, and sympathy for the princi
pal, when along came the “black
sheep” of the building—the boy
who was weekly, and sometimes dai
ly, sent to the principal for his mis
demeanors. He gave the principal
the sort of look one pal in distress
gives to another, and said: “I sure
do feel sorry for you, and I want to
help you all I can. Now, whenever
I know I’ve got to go on the green
carpet I just go and eat a square
meal, and it makes me so satisfied
with the world and myself that no
one could hurt my feelings. Tf I
were you now I’d do exactly that
eame thing.”—Indianapolis New?.
BUILDS AND GRADES ROADS
Machine in Operation in Midwest
That Is Capable of Working at
Rapid Rate.
Moderate initial and operating ex
pense as well as rapid work are fea
tures of a motor-driven, one-man road
builder and grader of somewhat novel
design that has appeared In the Mid
West. The machine carries at opposite
sides endless conveyor drags that are
supported at right angles to it by ad
justable booms. These members are
inclined downward, so that as they op
erate at a speed of 200 feet a minute,
rhey carry dirt from the sides of a
30-foot roadway to the middle, filling
depressions and building up the
crown. Under ordinary conditions, it
is said, the machine is capable of
building a new road at a rate of one
or two miles an hour. Rond surfacing
and dragging is accomplished at a
speed of from two to three miles an
hour.
First Turnpike Built.
The first turnpike in the United
States was constructed between Lan
