AN EFFECTIVE TRAP.

Among the enemies against which
the horticulturist is Obliged TO con-
stantly contend, the common "a bbit oc-
cupies by no means the lowest rank.
DIR. Asa Bowman, has invented q chesp
and effective trap for catching these
destructive rodents which Is not only
the easiest and best way of protecting
orchards. but is also highly apprec6ated
by the small boy who wants to catch
the cotton tails. The accompanying
illustrations make the construction and
sssration of the trap so plain that any
one can construct dozen in about
two hours
The body of the trap is made of four
pieces of six-inch fencing boards twen-
ty to twenty four inches long. nailed
together to make q narrow box open It
one end. The top piece should be an
inch shorter than the others Nail the
bottom and top boards TO the aide
boards thus making the perpendicular
length of the opening greater than the
horizontal. If the opening is square
the drop-door does not work properly
A sliding door is then made to At
loosely in the open end and two pieces
Of lath are nailed against the ends of
the perpendicular boards projecting
one-fourth inch inside. The door then
slides down between the end of the
shorter upper board and the projecting
edges of the lath shown ~ y In IL

AMONG THE POULTRY.

NEVER feed stale ground bono to

A LITTLE fiaxseed oil meal can often

exercise.
TsE object In feeding young fowls
well Is to increase size as much as pos
sible and with the hons to supply nu-
triment and material for eggs
In order to get eggs in winter the
food must be such as will mako blood
and not too much fat; eggs are the re-
suit of health and activity.
ONE reason why on the farm the
small flock pays the most profit Is that
there is a certain quantity OF food and
labor that costs little or nothing
FULLY one-half OF the failures with
incubators and brooders is caused by
lack Of proper attention. Too much
faith should not be placed In thcir
being self-regenerating.

SCENE OF THE CYCLE SNOW

The show has proved such n great hit
among wheclmcn and wheelmakers that a
much larger building was secured for this
years exhibition, which is even more of a
success than it's predecessors. The Fifth
street market is in the very heart of tho
city, and is 3l0 feet long by 1870 feet broad.
1t contains $1,000 feet of floor space, which
is all taken by exhibitors. The market is
on the site of the new Philadelphia Bourse
Tho object of the exhibition is to show
whcelmcn what the manufacturers are do
ing, to acquaint wheelmakcrs with what
their competitors have to offer and to pop

sizes and tires are shown; different styles
of pneumatic tires are exhibited so that the
wheelmen may choose the best, and bicycle
sulkics and pneumatic tired carriages are
displayed for the benefit of horsemen. One
interesting feature of the show is the daily
exhibition of such famous trick riders as
