A CHICK FOUNTAIN.

Can Be Made by Anybody, and the Ljl* tie Peeper* Enjoy It Immensely. Here's an ingenious little fountain for keeping a constant supply of water for youthful chickens. It is simple In the extreme to make, and any boy who can use a saw and drive a nail can make one in an hour. Just take two pieces of board, one six inches square and the other 6 by 12 and nail them so as to form a right angle. Get an old milk bottle and nail two thin

strips of tin so that the bottle will slip easily in and out ant remain supported head down. Then nail the lid of a tin can under the mouth of the bottle, and enough water will escape to keep the little receptacle always full and be handy for the .chicks to get at whenever they want to liquidate their little bills. It goes without saying that the contraption should be kept in a cool, shady spot Taking Hi* Tim*. “It takes years to train a wife up to where she will be a man’s ideal.” “How long have you been married? “About ten years.” "Your wife must be well trained.” “No, I haven’t started yet” The New Exercise. “You are looking strong and robust Using dumbbells?” “No.” “Walking five miles a day?” “Not half a mile.’’ “How did you do itF “Swatting flies.’*
