si  Love  communication.  Any  old  opon- 
1" rout  wagon  shed  would  be  preferable. 
After  years  of  poultry  keeping,  1  have 
come  to  the  conclusion  that  there  is  noth¬ 
ing  much — if  any — better  than  my  old 
henhouses  made  of  %-inoh  matched  pine 
and  covered  with  rooting  paper,  sides  and 
top,  with  an  open-front  scratching  shed 
attached.  The  houses  were  10  feet 
squure.  1  >4  feet  high  at  back,  5 Yz  feet  in 
front  and  seven  feet  in  the  highest  part, 
with  a  “hip”  roof,  the  short  slant  being 
in  front.  The  door  opened  into  tho 
scratching  shed,  which  had  curtains  to  lie 
dropped  when  rain  or  snow  was  driving 
in  from  the  south;  25  to  50  bens  could  be 
kept  in  each  house,  where  they  roosted 
and  laid,  but  spent  most  of  the  time  out 
in  the  sheds.  Litter  in  abundance  was 
kept  iu  the  sheds;  the  floor  of  the  house 
part  was  sifted  loam,  of  which  from  one 
to  three  wagon  loads  were  put  in,  each 
Fall.  A  wide  chestnut  hoard  was  sunk 
into  the  earth  at  the  front  of  the  house; 
this  kept  out  the  moisture  and  the  frost. 
In  the  coldest  Winter  it  was  always  pos¬ 
sible  to  dig  down  into  the  earth  as  deep 
as  one  pleased;  there  was  never  any  frost 
in  the  ground,  the  entire  floor  was  a  dust 
bath  for  the  fowls.  There  was  no  found¬ 
ation  for  these  houses,  and  no  sills  to 
them;  the  boards  projecting  five  or  six 
inches  below  tbe  2x3-incli  scantling  to 
which  they  were  nailed,  and  the  ends  of 
the  boards  rested  on  flat  stones  at  the 
four  corners,  and  in  the  middles.  After 
20  years  of  use,  these  houses  are  yet  in 
good  usable  condition.  Two  sliding  win¬ 
dows  in  front,  and  au  open  part  covered 
with  muslin,  and  the  usually  open  door 
into  the  sheds,  gave  plenty  of  ventilation.

THE  HENYARD 
Brown  Eggs  in  New  York  Market 
Is  there  any  section  of  New  York  City 
where  brown  eggs  bring  as  much  as 
white?  I  keep  the  R.  I’.  Itock  hens  ex¬ 
clusively  and  feed  a  balanced  ration,  and 
1  am  sure  the  contents  of  my  “brown” 
eggs  are  as  good  as  any  white  egg. 
Dundee,  N.  Y.  f.  o.  w. 
There  is  some  trade  preference  at  New 
York  in  favor  of  white  shells,  but  not 
nearly  so  much  on  shell  color  alone  as 
is  generally  believed.  A  great  many 
white  shelled  eggs  are  better  because 
more  carefully  graded  as  to  quality. 
Many  brown  shell  shippers  have  au  idea 
that  the  eggs  will  be  discounted  any¬ 
way  because  of  color  and  are  not  particu¬ 
lar  about  grading,  while  the  white  egg' 
producers  feel  that  they  have  top-notch 
goods  and  are  vigilant  as  to  quality. 
There  are  marks  of  brown  eggs  that  often 
bring  white  prices  and  always  nearly 
so,  because  the  buyers  have  learned  what 
quality  the  mark  stands  for.  Such  a  rep¬ 
utation  with  eggs,  or  any  other  farm  pro- 
duet.  is  gained  only  as  a  result  of  time 
and  selling  through  one  outlet  instead  of 
scattering  the  shipments  here  and  there. 
Another  point  about  white  eggs  some¬ 
times  overlooked  is  that  the  Minorcas 
and  some  strains  of  Leghorns  lay  larger 
eggs  than  the  Rocks,  Reds  and  Wyan- 
dottes.  This  may  easily  make  from  two 
to  three  pounds  difference  on  a  case. 
The  color  preference  favoring  brown 
shells  in  Boston  has  been  less  marked 
than  that  on  whites  at  New  York,  but 
in  both  markets  quality  and  size  are  the 
most  important  features,  and  those  who 
ship  fresh  eggs  regularly  to  reputable 
dealers  in  both  markets  will  find  very  lit¬ 
tle  discrimination  as  to  shell  color.

Poultry  on  Shares 
My  husband  works  by  the  month  on  a 
farm  and  his  employer  proposes  that  ho 
build  a  henhouse  large  enough  to  accom¬ 
modate  150  or  200  hens.  I  am  interested 
in  poultry  and  have  been  earing  quite  suc¬ 
cessfully  for  about  10  bens.  We  are  near 
a  good  market  for  Summer  trade,  this  be¬ 
ing  on  Chautauqua  Lake.  On  what  con¬ 
ditions  could  one  care  for  poultry?  What 
share  should  I  have?  Would  you  advise 
keeping  two  breeds?  I  have  White 
Wyandottes  and  am  very  much  interest¬ 
ed  in  them,  but  of  course  the  S.  C.  Leg¬ 
horns  are  considered  better  layers.  The 
young  Wyandotte  chicks  get  heavy  and 
ready  for  broilers  much  sooner  than  W. 
Leghorns.  As  I  mid  erst  and  it  he  will 
leave  much  to  my  judgment,  he  furnish¬ 
ing  everything  and  1  doing  the  work. 
New  York.  mrs.  i..  n.  n. 
Ordinarily,  I  think  it  advisable  to  keep 
but  one  variety  of  fowls  upon  a  place,  es¬ 
pecially  if  purebred  fowls  are  kept,  as 
they  should  be.  The  light  and  heavy 
breeds  require  somewhat  different  treat¬ 
ment  to  get  the  best  results  and  it  is 
very  diffieulr  to  prevent  accidental  ming¬ 
ling  during  tbe  breeding  season.  Either 
the  Leghorns  of  Wyandottes  would  prob¬ 
ably  suit  your  conditions,  unless  your 
market  calls  for  white  eggs.  Each  va¬ 
riety  has  its  special  advantages  and  if 
you  have  a  good  strain  of  Wyandottes 
that  have  done  well  for  you,  and  you  are 
accustomed  to  their  management,  it  would 
seem  the  part  of  wisdom  to  stick  to 
them.  As  to  division  of  profits,  that  is  a 
very  difficult  matter  iu  which  to  advise. 
I  know  of  no  rules  for  use  iu  these  cases: 
each  one  has  to  bo  decided  Upon  its  own 
conditions.  You  will  put  the  value  of 
your  labor  as  a  competent  poultry  man¬ 
ager  against  the  investment  of  your  em¬ 
ployer.  The  building,  as  a  permanent  im¬ 
provement  upon  his  farm,  should  not  be 
charged  against  you.  The  investment  in 
stock,  feed,  etc.,  is  his  contribution;  the 
labor  is  yours.  You  will  have  to  agree, 
as  best  you  can.  upon  the  relative  value 
of  these  and  divide  your  profits  according¬ 
ly.  After  strict  accounts  are  kept  for  a 
year,  you  will  both  be  in  better  position 
to  make  a  fair  bargain  for  another  per¬ 
iod  of  time.  M.  it.  it.

Care  of  Small  Flock 
1.  I  have  a  flock  of  Rhode  Island 
Red  pullets,  May  hatched,  iu  a  house 
9x16 ;  has  two  windows.  Will  you  plau 
out  a  schedule  for  earing  for  them,  when 
and  what  to  feed  (for  eggs)?  I  wish  to 
give  them  the  best,  possible  care  and  at¬ 
tention.  For  feed  I  have  wheat,  corn, 
oats,  beets  and  cabbage,  Alfalfa  lmy, 
skim-milk  and  table  scraps,  potato  par¬ 
ings.  etc.  Shall  I  let  them  out  on  pleas¬ 
ant  days,  or  keep  them  shut  up?  2.  Is 
there  a  demand  for  rabbits  in  the  general 
markets?  Can  they  be  raised  profitably 
as  a  side  line?  What  prices  do  they 
bring,  how  sold,  what  is  the  best  breed, 
etc.  ?  c.  h. 
Wayne  Co.,  N.  Y. 
1.  With  a  foot  or  more  of  dry  litter  in 
which  these  hens  may  scratch  for  their 
grain,  you  will  probably  obtain  tbe  best 
results  by  feeding  a  moist,  warm  mash  at 
noon.  Give  them  a  mixture  of  all  your 
whole  grains  iu  the  morning,  feeding 
enough  to  satisfy  them,  but  not  enough 
to  cloy ;  the  amount  you  will  have  to 
learn  by  observation.  At  noon  prepare  a 
mash  moistened  with  warm  water  or  skim 
milk,  and  in  this  mash  incorporate  your 
table  scraps.  Give  as  much  of  this  as 
they  will  eat  with  vigorous  appetites, 
again,  do  not  cloy  them.  Before  dark 
give  your  mixed  grains  again,  feeding 
enough  so  that  they  will  go  to  roost  with 
full  crops,  and  if  a  little  remains  in  the 
litter  no  harm  will  be  done;  it  will  be 
picked  up  in  tbe  morning.  Feed  a  mod¬ 
erate  amount  of  cabbage  or  beets  daily 
or  every  other  day,  and  put  a  small  fork¬ 
ful  of  Alfalfa  hay  into  the  pen  each  clay. 
If  you  have  sufficient  skim-milk,  keep  it 
before  the  fowls  for  drink.  Keep  crushed 
oyster  shells  and  some  form  of  grit  al¬ 
ways  before  the  hens.  Feed  all  that  the 
hens  want  but  guard  against  the  tempta¬ 
tion  to  over-feed  a  small  flock.  Keep 
them  hungry  enough  between  meals  to  lie 
active  and  eat  with  good  appetites.  A 
good  mash  may  be  composed  of  equal 
parts  of  cornmenl,  gluten  feed,  wheat 
bran,  wheat  middlings  and  beef  scrap, 
proportions  by  weight.  A  handful  of  fine 
salt  to  each  100  pounds  of  mash  is  bene¬ 
ficial. 
2.  I  do  not.  know  of  any  general  mar¬ 
ket  for  rabbits.  Belgian  hares  have  been 
much  exploited  for  meat  and  might  be 
profitable  for  home  use  or  a  local  market. 
If  there  is  a  general  demand  or  market, 
for  them,  I  do  not  know  of  it.  M.  b.  d.
