door being in the second floor for that
purpose, which is closed at night. The
door for the upper room, with steps, is
shown at the left. The entrances to
the nests are plainly seen at the rear
of the under floor, and the end of the
nest box is shown at the rear of the
house, to the left.
Fig. >, the rear view, shows the nest
box. the entrances to the nests and the
nests, and also shows the box closed
against rain. This arrangement per-
mits of collecting the eggs without 60
ing inside of the house. On the upper
floor is shown a drawer, under the
roost, the droppings from the roost fall
ing in the drawer and removed by
emptying the drawer, which can be
pulled ont without going inside the
poultry house for that purpose.
This plan does necessitates going
into the upper apartment but very little,
and the lower floor affords ample shell
ter from storms and allows plenty of
light and air, as that apartment is open
in front. The upper floor is three feet
from the ground, and is simply a roost-
ing-place, the hens occupying the lower
part during the day, while the work
can be done on the outside of the house
for an entire year. When this is done
the farmer will find that he can afford
TO sell eggs at very low price; but if
he will seek some market that demands
his articles, he will seldom fail to re-
ceive remunerative prices for both poul-
try and eggs.

anything produced on the farm gives as

large profits as the product Of the hens,
1t is not always that the hens will lay
many eggs in winter, but if "A hen only
provides one egg each week she will
pay well for her board and lodging, and
though eggs may not be numerous in
winter the prices compensate for the
scarcity. What the farmer should do
is to induce his hens to lay by feeding a
variety of food. In addition to wheat
and corn he should provide milk, ground
meat and bone. and tinely-chopped
clover. 1t is the variety of food that
promotes egg production, and not bulk
of grain. If the quarters are warm the
hens should lay. Give them the oppor-
tunities to produce eggs and they will
not disappoint you.-Farn and Fire

Because of "scares" about the use OF

figured, and the other from vines that
were treated with the Bordeaux mix
ture up to the middle of June, then
with two applications of the am
moniacal carbonate of copper, and
which were not in the least disfgured.
An analysis of the two samples was
made at the state experiment station.
In the first there was found only
81, 000ths of per cent. of oxide of cop
per, an amount so small that one
would need to eat from half ton to a
ton of these grapes, stems, skins and
all, to obtain the least injurious effect;
and that, Notwithstanding the fact that
the punches were selected from those
having the largest amount of the cop
per mixture adhering to them.
In the second sample not trace OF
copper could be found. 1t would seem
from the above that even under the
most careless use of the copper solu'
! tons no injurious effects need be
feared, and that when properly applied
there will not be trace of copper left
upon the fruit at harvesting.
