Use of Short Lumber
Would Cut House Cost
I Through their failure to buy short
lengths of lumber for the construction
' «»f small houses, matt) builders are los-
mites to a minimum. The fact should
be kept in mind that mites are blood-
sucking parasites and do not rentain
on the birds as do lice. Miles are
more harmful to poultry than,dice and
in treatment it is necessary to treat
the house and not rhe bird, as is the
case of lice.
The construction of roosts and pest-
> as to reduce hiding
i places to a miniuiuni is an excellent
control measure.
If new birds are brought to the
farm, or birds to new quarters, they
should be isolated for a few days hi
a pen separate from the p< rmanent
quarters so (hat all of the mites uHI
leave them, thus preventing the Infes-
tation of new quarters. If Pirds are
.moved in the daytime mites will not
be carried on them.

I while an additional 11 percent was cut
into 8 to 9 foot-lengths.
Four districts were selected in which
this survey was conducted- Washing-
ton, Pbilatielphia, Chicago and Kansas
I City. The houses In thF~ Philadelphia
I district were at South Ardmore, Pa.,
and Haddonfield, N. J., while the
houses in Kansas City and Washington
I dlstyicts were witbin the city limits.
! In H.h* Chicago district they were Im
cated at-Hammond and <4ary. Ind.
The survey showed that In the East-
ern district rhe Ittmber house was vir- '
tually of one size, consisting of six |
rooms and bath, and that when a larg-
er or more pretentious bouse was de-
sired, brick, stone, 'stucco or tile was
used. The largest lumber houses were
found In Kansas City.
Data and charts prepared by the Na-
tional Lumber Manufacturers’ araccl-
atlon and presented at the May 1. TH25,
lumber- conference, show that 5.3 per
cent, or about 1,350,60,600 fret of the
total softwood yard lumber produced,
la uiuler 8 fret, ami that 5,5 per cent,
of LtWiOOO.OOO feet: is from 8 to 9
feet.

syhllc between is the corn crib-and
granary serving both with equal
facility.
These three buildings are of similar ■
construction all lielng frame construc-
tion with shingled roofs, and In add!
tion to their practical utility they are
built In the same style, which add« an
air of neatness and efficiency to the
whole group. This la an Item not to
be overlooked, it has a real value In
creating the same sort of an air in the
morale ot farm empleyeea. There Is
not a man, not even the farm owner
himself, but.that will work harder and
better in an atmosphere of neatness
and efficiency.
The hog house is of the gable-roof

six along each sltle of the building,
which are separated by a feed si ley.
