The tinman's work cost me S4.75. A
common low lamp with No. 2 burner is
used to keep up heat. The material
used was goods boxes, costing me one
dollar. A good tested thermometer is
needed. The best way to test is to
place common thermometer under a
setting hen and mark on the glass with
a file, and afterward with lead pencil,
the point to which the mercury rises.
This point indicates the proper heat. In
a room having reasonably even tenn

Two degrees in ten hours The boiler is
made ofgalvanized iron and is 90 inches
square and 0 inches deep. A faucet for
drawing off the water when necessary
is placed near the bottom and a quarter
inch hole in the top through which
the tank is filed is covered by a
cap. Before the top is placed on the
boiler, a coil of S-inch galvanized iron
pipe, entering at one side inches from
the bottom, is soldered securely to the
boiler and extends around until the

An Excellent Yet Simple DeviAe for Shell
tering Young Chicks.
There are many designs for coops to
shelter young chicks. In fact, per,
son with any idea in a mechanical way
can devise suitable one that will meet
his needs. This one shown is my own
idea and has been found quite useful.
The use of saw and Ratchet with
screws or nails, and a box obtained at
the store in the town at which you deal
is what will construct it. speak Of
screws instead of nails because the
coop may be unfastened and packed
away in clean place in the fall, or
soon after the Matching season is over,
and he ready to refit when wanted the
following spring. shade the front by
using piece of canvas tackled along
the roof and sewed around frame of
wire or wooden hoop. The front may

AMONG THE POULTRY.

SELECT the best fowls before market
ing.
DRY lime win help purify the quar-
.ers. f
THE sooner the cuils are marketed
the better.
GIVE young poultry all the range pos
s:ble when there is no wet.
BETTER results will be secured if the
seed is scattered so they cannot eat too
fast
A QUICK maturing fowl is very desir-
able for market as well as home use,
especially in the spring.
COLOR is not an essential with market
poultry except when it Injuries the looks
of the dressed poultry. A yellow skin
h lps the sale of dressed chickens.
PUSH the Matching now as much as
possible. This applies to all kinds OF
poultry kept on the farm unless it be

center of the boiler is reached. Then
1t turns up and comes out at the top,
the latter part Of it being reduced to ~
inches diameter. This forms chimney
or hot air passage through the boiler by
which the water is heated. The whole
machine is securely packed with saw
dust about the sides, top, ends, ETC., 30
that very little heat escapes by radia-
ton. The eggs are placed in drawer
Immediately beneath the boiler. This
drawer has a wire screen bottom. Be-
meath the egg drawer is thick layer of
clean sand and extending up through
the sand to the drawer are two ~ inch
ripes by which any foul air passes
Town. Entering the egg drawer near
IS top is 1h-inch fresh air
II he, having it's outer end bent
inward. In order that any variation
temperature which may change the
u.fection of the air currents in the ma
chine may not chill the eggs, the foul
air pipes are covered with board, that
the cool air may be evenly spread over
the bottom of drawer. The sand be-
meath the drawer is moistened, to fur
nish what moisture the eggs need.
When getting the incubator ready for
Matching heat a quantity of water to
boiling, pour it into the boiler, close up
the machine, and let it cool down to 105
degrees. Then set my lamp in place,
light it, and put in the eggs, which, be-
ing cold, still farther reduce the tenn
perature. then watch the machine
until 1t is once adjusted, after which it
retains the same temperature, scarcely
changing at all. The body Of water be-
ing large, once hot it takes the lamp a
long time to raise the temperature too
high. THE trouble with most incu-
bators is that they will get too hot if
not closely watched.) If visited morn
ing, noon and night it need not vary
two degrees. lhave tried six or seven
different patent incubators and this
is preferable to any of them. If all
the work of making is hired done it
need not cost over Sl5 for a 150-egg size.
My breeders are made on the same
general plan for heating, except that
instead of coil of pipes, rectangular
box occupies the center Of the boiler,
and from this pipes having downward
turned ends extend horizontally.

Tennyson's indignation.

Lord Tennyson is said to be greatly
angered at the book in which Mr. ChUr-
ton Collins seems, at any rate, to bring
against him charge of plagiarism.
This is charge which has always had
the most irritating effect upon the poet,
and most people will probably agree
that book like Mr. Collins is probably
best postponed until the author with
whose work it deals Is beyond the feel
ing of resentment. We are confident
that the greater number of the critics
who today deal so cavalierly with Nir-
gil, Homer. Horace and the other great
inmortals, would abstain if their vic
Tins were still in the land of the living
And in this case the matter is made
worse by the fact that Lord Tennyson
has been at special pains to show his
feelings in regard 10 any charges Of the
kind. These writer's" be said to a
friend, on the occasion when he was last
made the subject Of this charge, "these
writers are the lice on the locks of liter

tons artful aid"
Nor Is this anger remarkable when it

demurring, having already declared that
he could not in honor receive recognition
for services not shared in by the O'Toole,
orders were orders, and a stubborn disre-

punch in the head. So he went to his
