DETERMINE AGE OF POULTRY While There la No Positive Rut* to Qo By There Are Certain Condi tions to Guess By. Strictly speaking, there Is no posi tive test for the age of poultry. How ever, a close guess can be made un der certain conditions. For Instance, the size of spurs generally gulshes a two-year-old bird; yet the writer has had young birds develop spurs that would hove done credit to older birds. On the other band, he has hud two-year-old birds with spurs that were as short and rounded ns those of a cockerel. To some ex tent the texture of the leg Is asgulde, and so Is the delicacy and freshness of the skin of the face and comb. Yet there will lie occaslonal'bens that have a youthful appearance to a remurkable degree. Probably n better test Is (he skin of the body, that of the older fowl being coarser and drier In appearance. A pullet will show rose-colored veins on the surface of the skin under the wings. Long silky hairs will also be grown there; but after the pullet has become a year old these hairs and veins will disappear and the skin will grow white and velnless. It Is more difficult to determine tho ■ge of water fowls than It Is of other poultry. COOPS FOR FATTENING HENS Object la to Reduce Exercise and In crease Consumption of Fat-Pro ducing Materlale. Fattening rations are not compli cated or need not be to bring fair re sults. The principle of fattening Is to reduce the exercise and Increase the consumption of fat-producing food. If the farmer possesses n num ber of small shed-roof brood coops such as are used for sitting hens with chicks, these coops will be line for fat tening hens. Kneh coop will accommo date about five hens without crowding and they will have little opportunity for fighting or scratching. Feed them three times each day from n i«in con taining a sloppy mixture of sour milk and corn meal and allow tho hens to eat all they will consume. After each feeding remove the pan so that any remaining feed will not become con taminated with dirt and cause the birds to lose their appetites. PROPER FEED FOR PULLETS Almost Impossible to Overfeed Young Fowl*—lf Not Qlven Variety They Will Not Grow. It la surprising the quantity of food that young pullet* will consume. It Is almost Impossible to overfeed them, for, unlike the hen In laying condition, they take on fat very slowly.' If, how ever, they are Improperly fed and do not obtain a proper variety of food they will not grow, either In slie or weight, and will be very slow In com ing to the laying point.

Most of the people who are fin vine to build a house —the Bort they have dreamed of possessing—give so much attention to the actual plans of the dwelling that they do not stop to think at all of the vaat Importance of the house's setting. •- They are Joys and profits In site hunting that the average home-bollder who Is willing to content himself with the first strip of land In a desir able neighborhood with which hla real estate dealer confronts him never guesses. Obviously the average city lot !a the "flat, treeleaa, CO by 100," on which, of course, there Is little pos sible latitude In building. The bouse tnust be oblong and stand on one of Its ends about In the center of the lot, with an Inconsequential margin on either side, and a flower-trimmed square of green In front and rear. There are many streets of this type In every suburb. Hut In every suburb also there are odd corners that have been passed by as unsuitable. Like the neglected creed beds In the fanner's fields, they are generally of odd shapes and wooded, the hand of the "Improver" having passed them as hopeless. In rural districts where land Is rated by Ita cultlvatable area, these are literally wnste and can often be bought for fery little. One of tha least appreciated kind of sites for a home Is the gully or draw. Everywhere among the hills there are places where the waters have cut out s bed to the rocks and a stream splashes swiftly downward among the trees. There are few greater outdoor Joys for folk who like to plan things themselves and execute them with thrlr own hands than the development of one of these spots. If you have a definite plan for your house In mind before you have an Idea for the site, you should seek your site to fit the home. A chateau would be out of place where a bungalow cot tage would be wholly at ease. A barn might be badly misplaced on the Ideal site for a farmhouse. But site hunting untrammeled by aught save the limits of one's Imag ination Is great fun and a liberal edu cation.
