Henliouso Fixtures 
Could you toll mo the best size of 
perches for Leghorn chickens and t he best 
und safest lantern to light up the house? 
How many would I need for a house

tain? X’. c. P. 
New .1 or.soy. 
Perches about 2 in. in width arc satis¬ 
factory for Leghorn fowls, though there 
is no prescribed dimension that is consid¬ 
ered best. Two h.v four inch sticks are 
most commonly used, these being set on 
edge and having the upper coiners 
rounded. 
Ordinary tubular lanterns are probably 
the safest of those that burn kerosene, 
though any other that is safe in operation 
may he used. There is no such tiling as 
absolute safety in any contrivance for 
lighting u building. Enough lights should 
he used to enable the fowls to iiud the 
grain upon the floor, and a w hite reflector 
placed over the light to east its beams 
downward will he found a great help in 
this. 
I know of 110 water container more con¬ 
venient Or satisfactory than the ordinary 
l2-i|iiarl galvanized water pail. This is 
readily cleaned, filled and carried. If set 
into a box or empty orange crate, it will 
not he overt 11 rued and fowls will drink 
from it without trouble. m. r. d.

Haul Stock This Fall With a GMC 
Flashing along the good highways at a fast speed and also 
developing more pulling power in bad going than is averaged by 
trucks of like capacity, the Model K-41, Two Ton GMC truck, is 
the finest equipment yet produced for hauling stock and for other 
heavy work on the farm. 
Like the “Jim-Dandy” one ton GMC, this truck has exclusive 
improvements that increase operating economy and reduce the 
time and expense of maintenance. Model K-41 is equipped with 
the GMC Two-Range Transmission, providing greater pulling 
power in combination with more road speed — a combination 
never before accomplished until the development of this distinctive 
feature by GMC engineers 
The Two-Range transmission has successfully multiplied economi¬ 
cal engine power into greater power at the wheels and has opened 
up new fields for motor truck use, both in the city and on the 
farm. With this transmission a GMC truck will go anywhere 
that wheels can get traction and on good roads will speed 18 
miles an hour with solid tires. 
Model K41 — Two To 
CAaoii Only—At the Factory 
It has such other advantages as GMC Removable Cylinder Walls, 
Pressure Lubrication, Removable Valve Lifter Assemblies, 
Instantaneous Governor Action, Magneto Ignition, Conduit Wiring, 
Thermo-Syphon Cooling, Electric Lights and Generator, Provis¬ 
ion for Starting Motor and many other refinements not usually 
found on motor trucks.
