BEST HOUSES FOR CHICKENS
Several Plans and Arrangements Be.
tween Two Extremes Which May
t . ; .Suit Conditions, . ' f . ,
. In the manner of housing fowls there
. are two systems widely "different In
their extremes. At one extreme Is the
: colony plan, which consists in placing
; small houses for small flocks ; far
enough part to obviate the necessity
of fences, thus giving free range with
but little mingling of. the different
flocks. ' At the other extreme we have
the continuous house. "Thla kind, of
house consists of a series of separate
pens, under one roof, opening directly
Into a hallway in the rear, or having
doors between the pens without the
hallway, or opening Into a hallway and
. also Into one another. There are sev
eral plans and arrangements between
these two extremes wfllch may be built
to sultvarylng conditions. -

Difficult to Keep Youngsters Clean K

It is often advisable to teach the
hlcks to roost when eight to twelve I
- -weeks of age. When they are allowed j
xo remain on un noor 11 is uiuicnn 10
:keep them clean and to keep them
jfroro crowding. If wide roosts three
to four Inches are need there Is but
little. If any, more danger of crooked
ifcreests thin If the chicks are allowed
to remain on the floor.
The chicks can generally be taught
to roost by putting the perches near
the floor and placing with them one
or two old bens or older chicks that
are la ibe habit of roosting. If th
plan Is Inconvenient or does not prov
effective, the chicks may be placed on
the perches after dark for a few

LONG A BRITISH POSSESSION
Island of Bermuda Colonized Eight
' Years Before the Mayflower.
. Sailed From England.
The Island of Eermudn was. discov
ered in D13 by a Spaniard, Juan de
Bermudez. Nearly 100 years later an
English vessel with Virginia colonists
was shipwrecked on the isiana, wnicn
had been known as the Isle of Devils
because of the terrific' storms on Its
coast and had been shunned.' Ad
miral 8lr George Somers, leading the
Virginians, died. His body was taken
back to England, where, the colonists
told the wonders of the Island. The
Virginia company determined to colo
nize the Islands, and had Its charter
amended to Include Islsnds within 800
lesgues of Virginia. As a result SO
colonists were sent out In 1612. eight
years before the ' Mayflower sailed.
Later the Virginians sold their rights
to Bermuda oompsny. which so sub
verted the Inhabitants tbat they formed
a parliament and fought toi their
rights. Three branches of govern
ment were devised. Regulations were
most severe, and penalUes were of tha
most extreme nature.
