Drinking Fountain for Chickens

As my plan of supplying water for
little chickens may be new to many of
your readers, 1 give it for all to try who
may like. Take a tight can Gan
empty five-gallon kerosene can is just
the thing, punch half dozen holes
near the bottom on one side of it, and
have a tinker solder on the bottom a
strip, say five inches wide and the
length of one side of the can; turn up
two inches of the outer edge and the
same on each end (Which should be left
that much longer.) Solder the copers
and it will make a vessel two and a
half inches wide and two inches high
on one side of the can, which will al
ways keep full of water so long as
there is any left in the can.
To fill the can with water, turn it
partly on one side and pour into the
trough at the bottom; or better still, il
you have tub or trough full of waiter,
hold your can under till it fills. Then
set it up and there Will enough run out
to fill the vessel at the bottom above
the holes in the can. 1t will Away
keep so full as long as there is any
water left in the can, which must be
kept air tight.-C0Hnty Gentleman.

twenty-nine cents and twenty nine one

quoted at one dollar and six cents per

that silver will drop TO one dollar, and less,

OF our law makers to the enactment of
such laws as would certainly prov" beng

commissioner appointed by the county
commissioners Of each county to locate
and have general supervision OF said sheds
and to te paid out OF said tax. II. a few
years there would be sheds enough, and
then the tax would be for repairs.
If the statutes mt present do not grant
the county commissioners the right to
compel parties fencing to leave an opening

1t would be we'll pass Il law giving coun.

1t would be well to pass Il law compel.

animals, principally dead sheep, around

great benefit to stock. Stock would seek
the sheds during storms and bc right on

Our stock associations seem to think of
guarding against stock being stolen more
than anything else. This is vel! enough,
but 1t appears that stocknen ought to take
some steps to guard against loss by expo.
sure. 1t seems strange to see stock men
who have large herds Of stock running ON
the ranges fence their stock out from all
chance Of getting any water. 1t looks us
though they were trying to see how much
