An COOP.

The box is IS inches square and "a
inches high. There is a sliding door in
the front the width of the box, less the
width of the groove pieces in which it
slides. There is a hole in each side, near
the top, for the purposes of ventilation
and light. In the box is placed about
four inches of moist black dirt; upon
this is placed cut straw. All is now in
readiness for the eggs and the setting
hen. She is given the eggs and the door
is closed.
The run is made of lath-the width
and length of the box and one lath long.
A combination trough, containing corn
water and gravel, is placed in front of
the end of the run. Oncea day the door
is raised and the hen is allowed to come
off, which she does, and after eating,
drinking and taking a dust bath, returns
to the nest. The eggs are examined by
opening a small slide door in the back Of
the box.
The hen on the nest, the doors are
closed, and old biddy rests content, be-
lieving that no one on earth knows where
she is. She is safe from rats and other
large vermin. She is not molested by
other hens. In fact, she is as a sitting
hen should be. Since using this coop I
have Matched a far larger per cent. of
eggs than ever before. There is nothing
to prevent the hen from Matching every
fertile egg. When the chicks are Matched
they and the hen are removed. The box
and run are thoroughly cleaned. Then
it is placed ia the yard and the hen and
chicks put into it. 1t makes a splendid
brood coop. In it the little chickens can
be fed, and larger birds cannot enter in
to share their meal or purloin it all. 1t
gives the hen the ground in which to
scratch and dust, and can be moved so
as to give the hen fresh earth whenever
desired.

School Teacher Flora Marshall's dog,
which has 80 divided the residents of Wa
ferford, Camden county, by biting Miss
Abbie Rice, a popular young woman Of
the town, several days %, is forward
again as a candidate for public attention.
Four men with guns followed Miss Mar
shall in an effort to get a shot at her big
shaggy friend ''Nep,r which she was
taking across the border of Winslow
township to get him out of harm. Miss
Marshall closed her school, at Bates Mill,
and came up to Camden, where she held
a consultation with Lawyer Martin V.
Bergen.
mo one has a right to shoot your dog"
said Mr.. Bergen. Get a pistol, and, II
they attempt it. shoot them" Miss Mar
shall has secured the weapon, it is said.
and will defend her dog and herself.
Since the alleged biting of Miss Rice.
over n week ago the town of Waterford
has been rent asunder. and the question
Of the life or death Of the dog has en-.
tered into every phase of social and bus
mess life there. Miss Rice insisted that
as she was passing Miss Marshall's house
the dog flew upon her and bit her hand.
She and her friends declare that the big
brute must die, but Miss Marshall de-
Tended her pet, asserting hat he was
tender, gentle and brave, and that she
would as soon part with her own blood
as see that Of her noble Nep shed. She
was sure that he had not bitten Miss
Rice, but may have jumped upon her in
play n caused her a great fright.
The trouble was discussed in all its
phases, and Miss Rice's male friends
made every effort to get n shot at the
dog, but SO far they have been unsuc-
cessful. At last Capt. H. NJ. Jewett,
chairman of the township committee,
was appealed to, and, after hearing all
the facts, he issued a decree of death
upon the dog. Miss Marshall, however,
headed off any attempt to execute the
decree of death by taking the dog out OF
the township. The four men who fol-
lowed her found it impossible to shoot,
as the plucky young schoolmarm kept 80
close to the dog that her W body
might have received the charge intended
for the dog.
The closing Of the village school on
account of n dog has added fuel to the
fire among the brute's enemies, and there
is no telling where the controversy will
end.-Philadelphia Record.

tries in which she has been she has
always been warmly complimented.
Among these languages are French,
Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch and
