bottom. then gravel ard then sand.
This will let tue water run of and keep
the floor dry. On these set the 2x4
studs four feet apart On top of the
studs put the plate (ax4). The rafters
are boarded with cheap, sQuare-edged
pine boards If you wish to single and
clapboard, put tarred paper under both,
as it will stop all drafts should there be
any cracks, and make the house enough
warmer to pay. There is no danger OF
making poultry house in this climate
too warm without artificial heat
The house should face to the south
and have two windows in front and one
in the east end. The bottom of the
windows should rest ON the sill. One
sash may be hung on hinges making .
door opening into the yard, or two
sashes may work with weights. Each
apartment contains 100 square feet and
accommodates 20 fowls There should
be a small opening cut for the en-
trance Of the fowls, with slide door.
The nests consist Of two boxes, each =

deep. divided into eight parts. These
are placed along the partition inside
the sitring-room. To the edges of tho
partitions which separate the nests tack
cleas projecting over half an inch, and
the same distance from this toward the
middle Of the partition tack another
narrow cleal Put two like these on
the other edge, doing the same to each

TIatte~inE n Poet.

Not long ago a poet was staying az
seaside hotel, where he attracted some
attention as a celebrity. Among the
guests was a woman who wished her
daughter to seem on intimate terms with
literature, and, a. far as possible, with
literary people Accordingly she set the
girl at work to learn one Of the poets
shorter pieces. which might have been
clever move 10 gain her point, but the
effect Of 1t was somewhat injured By the
daughters carelessness and ignorance.
On the same page with the poem IN
question-in a book Of selecuons-was
one by another and more famous winter,
and the girl made the mistake Of com
hitting this instead Of the one which her
mother had intended
At the FIRST opportunity the young lady
said TO the poet IN the presence Of sew
eral Of the guests:
1t Is such a delight 70 meet one whose
lines l have carried IN my mind for
wears! The poem which I love better
than any other in the world Is one OF
yours
Indeed" answered the snlAns poet

written anything worthy Of such honor.
