Three-Compartment Trap Neet Is Not Difficult to Make.

{Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The most prepossessing hen Is not always the most ludustrlous layer. She may be the loudest eaekler, but if her owner uses trap nests she cannot fool film. He can check up on results:. • The trap nest. Is so arranged that when the hen enters she Is confined until released by the attendant. Specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture say that trap nests may be used to advantage by the best breeders of hens. It adds mechanical precision to Judgment and experience In developing the flock and maintaining it at a high standard of egg production. It tames the birds and tends to stimulate laying.

In flocks of 50 or more, a three-eom-partment trap nest should be provided for every ten hens. Jn smaller flocks, a slightly larger proportion of nests Is needed. NirnitlfredTratldsTtre placed on. the. legs of the hens and, a record Is kept of their egg production. Frequent visits to the nests are necessary, especially when the hens are laying freely and during warm weather. There should never be less than three visits a day, and four or five would be better. - The trap nest may be placed on the walls of the pen or attached to tlje underside Os the dropping board. If the latter course is taken, the front of the nest should face the pen. The rear may be made of wire to allow good ventilation. The dropping board will

MAKE WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS Tendency to Eradicate Disease in Areae Containing Many Farms le Latest Development. A noteworthy development In bovine tuberculosis eradication is the tPudency to free from that disease areas containing many farms. The annual report of the bureau of animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, just issued, lists the following reasons, which made tuberculosis tests of all cattle Within their boundaries during the last fiscal year: Clay county, Mississippi; Island county, Washington: Clatsop county, Oregon, and the District.of Columbia; Department officials believe that eradication of tuberculosis will proceed more rapidly, even than in the past, when it is taken up on the area basis. COWPEA HAY BEST FOR COWS Crop Has but Little Standing in City Markets on Account of Difficulty in Curing. Cowpea hay is said by specialists of 'the~tfnTtetf States Depart men t" riculture to be better suited for,feeding to cows than to horses. Partly on this account and partly because of the difficulty often experienced In properly curing the large growth of succulent vines and its coarseness and unevenness In quality, cowpea hay has but little standing in the city markets. EXCELLENT FEED FOR SHEEP Silage Made From Corn on Which Grain Is Just Beginning to Harden Is First-Class. Finely cut silage, made from <*>m on which the grain is beginning to harden, is first-class sheep feed, and may he fed In limited quantities with the best of success. About a pound and a half to three pounds daily to a ewe weighing around 150 pounds will supptjh pbout the correct amount of silage. At no time should you attempt to feed silage spoiled in the least, or of Inferior quality. Produce Clean Eggs. Clean, easy, accessible nests located tn a place more or less dark, but where they can be easily cleaned without being removed, is one of the essentials of producing clean eggs. Causes of Roup. Roup starts from colds, damp quarters, foul air and other causes. When a cold gets had and runs Into a form of catarrh It is then almost surq to j{o Into roup.

serve as a top. if the nest Is placed: on the wall, slats or wire at a sharp angle should extend from the front of the nest to the wall to prevent hens from, roosting on the top. * The trap nest Is so constructed that,) when the hen enters, her back raises the door. -This releases the catch orj trigger and allows the door to close.! The catch, regulated by a screw or nail at the lower Inside edge, should be set so that It Just holds the door. It should have a washer on the screw to prevent sticking, and a guard to keep away the nesting material. A variation may be made for large or small hens by shortening or lengthening the catch which supports the door or by adjusting the size of the triangular notch in the door itself. The following directions are given by the department's poultry specialists for constructing a three-compartment trap nest: Cut four %-Inch boards for ends and partitions, 12 Inches wide by 19 Inches long; enough %-Inch boards, 89% inches long, laid lengthwise, to cover the top, back and bottom; and one strip, 39% Inches long and 1% inches wide, for the front of the nests. Cut three pieces of %-inch boards, 12 Inches long and 3 Inches high, to hold the nesting material away from the door. Nail the top, back and bottom to the ends and partitions, Insert the 3-lnch strips In the nests, and make the guard, nailing It to the left side of the nest. Bore a hole in the catch large enough that the catch will move freely when screwed Into position on the side. Place a washer on the screw hetween the catch and the side of the nest. Insert a screw at-the lower edge of the catch to stop It when set. so that the catch will Just hold the door. Build Seven-Elghths-Inch Doors. Make the doors of %-inch material, 12 Inches by 6 Inches, and cut a triangular notch In the center, 4 Inches wide at the bottom. Put two screw ■eyes In the top at the doors and bore holes in the front of the nests, 2 Inches below the top (Inside measurement), through which a 3-IG-lnch wire is run to support the doors. Attach to the front of the nests a narrow strip upon which the hens can Jump. Place a button or block of wood on the front of each partition to hold the door when the nest is closed. If the nests are to be placed directly below the dropping board, a wire top should be used with a 5-liich strip of wood on the front edge of the top to stiffen them.

WINTER SHELTER FOR DUCKS Breeding Fowls Must Be Furnished With Some Protection Against Cold Rains and Snow. Although adult ducks are so we., protected by their feathers that they can stand a great deal of dry cold weather, the breeding birds must be furnished protection from the cold winter rains and snows and they must have a dry floor on which to roost. Therefore a suitable shed or building should be made available fur the fowls before the coming of winter. The building may be quite simple In construction and much less expensive than one for hens. BLACKHEAD IS MOST DEADLY Cases of Infection Are Few Where Turkeye Are Given Free Range at All Seasons. Os the, infectious diseases of turkeys, blackhead is the most destructive. It is notable, that whenever the climate and range conditions are such as to permit of the turkeys foraging TolTnfdkToriTi?lFTi|Sd from "the'’time they are hatched until they are marketed, cases of blackhead are Infrequent.” No positive cure for blackhead lias been found, but free range and care not to overfeed are very ltriportant factors in raising turkeys sueeessfully. SOY BEANS RANK VERY HIGH Practical Value as Forage and Grain Warrants Much Greater Use, Says Ohio Station. Soy beans rank very high In feeding value. According to the Ohio station 20 bushels of soy beans will carry 40 per cent more protein and 25 per cent more fat than 50 bushels of corn, or 30 ner cent more protein and 65 per cent more fat than two tons of clover hay. The practical value of soy bean forage as well as grain? warrants a much greater use of the crop. Time to Fight Pests. A good time to begin fighting in sect pests is rigfft now. Clean out the fence corners and burn the trash. Killing one bug now Is like killing thousands next summer. Poor Eggs for Hatching. It Is 'never advisable to use sot .hatching eggs that are more than two weeks old. • _ Collect Eggs Often. In freezing weather eggs should be collected two or three times a day so .as to prevent Unlit being chilled

ship when the boy and .gjrl adventurers m e t other adventurers was. this. The boy had told the right way to go, but the girl had left him because she wanted to show the others that she was very Independent and fine. And she really knew that the boy had been right. She was worried, too,, they

_ had used all the “Far Down the , ood ln ffie kna Road " sack. And night had come on. “I'm lost,” the girl cried. “I’m afraid to move for fear I may fall down. * Oh dear, the boy went off in the eastern direction, I think, but I don't know east from west how that It Is so dark." “Why did I ever want adventures? Now, we've lost each other in the darkness because I was foolish and wouldn’t follow the way I should go," And the boy was saying, “If I move, I may slip and be dashed 4 to pieces." “Oh,” he added, “how awful It was to act like' that and treat, so badly the girl Who has been oil all the adventures with me, ahd who Is so willing to go on and on. “I was a brute. Maybe the toad who can grow large In a few minutes because the giapt gave him the power to grow large when he wanted to punish people who bullied others, will come and beat me. “Oh, dear,, oh dear.- ’Well, I don’t care If he does beat me,.lf only he will bring back my companion to me. I never will be cruel again." “How mean It was of me to leave her. Oh, I may never see her again 1 Oh, It Is so dark 1 So dark! And it's getting very cold. Maybe she’s freezing.” And the girl, who had wandered about a little more, feeling., every footstep of the way through the black night, was shivering With the cold of the night and the fear. Her hair was damp with the fog which had come up, and her hands—felt cold ahd clammy and wet. “I was so stubborn," she said. “Oh, what a little wretch"T was,' arid after the boy brought hie on this trip—to be so mean'and ungrateful! It’s not every girl who Is given a chance like this to go adventuring. It’s mighty sew—ls any at all,” she said. “I hear a strange sound,” she went Oh. “Boy, Boy,” she called out. “Is It you?" But only a rumbling sound answered her.

‘They promised ns there were no such thtngs as bogeys and ghosts, and that there were no wild animals anywhere around, but it is awful being lost from the boy.” At last daylight came. The girl ran along a distance In the warm sunshine and looked about her. She couldn’t see any one around, except far down the road she saw a cloud of dust and then another cloud of dust, and then she noticed a man on horseback. She stopped and waited. “Perhaps this man can tell me about the boy. He may have seen him. “He looks as if he were hurrying with good news, or maybe,” and the

girl’s face became suddenly quite white, “maybe Is coming to bring me bad news." But as the man on the horse came nearer, the girl gave, a great cry of joy. There In the saddle, behind the man, hat the boy. "Oh,” she shouted, “you’re safe!" . . til-.-knew youwere safe,” the,

boy said. “The “Up and Down.” man with me whose, name is Courier Co-operation, told me that you were,” - They both got dpwn from the horse and the boy and girl took hands and jumped up and down. “We’ll have to have a talk and set everything straight.” said the Courier. ".She doesn't know Jjow I found you. and while she only cares now that you’re found, It would he well for all to know each other.” “I’ve really a Jot to tell yon.

ENVIED HIS SMALL DAUGHTER Duck Hunter Would Have Given Much for the Power She Exercised Over Ducks. Betty, four years old, lives In a modern apartment In Brooklyn, facing Prospect park. She knows all the squirrels In the park and the birds that stay there In the summer. # For several weeks Betty has been lonesome because all her feathered friends went In search of warmer weather, but now she has plenty of company again. Wild ducks are her newest friends. The ducks coming alight In Prospect park lake and generally remain a week or two to rest and feed. They are wary of men, but not afraid of children, If Betty is an example. ... The other- day she was walking with her father, a duck hunter. Betty noticed she couldn’t get near the ducks while she was with her father, but when she left him and ran along the shore alone she found she could approach them. After a little coaxing the ducks swam up and ate pieces of popcorn from her hand. “And I have to crawl through a swamp on my hands and knees to get Within gunshot of them," mused her father. —New York Sun; Every dog has his day, but It’s not every dog that knows when he’s having It.

Archibald Periwinkle had sl4 In his pocket, and he hated to walk home that night However, he decided that four bits was too much to pay for a taxi ride, so he started afoot. From the shadow of a building stepped a masked man. “Throw up your hands,” commanded the man, presenting a gun. Archibald did.
