The Best Way to Set u Hen.

The accompanying illustration shows
the very best way to set hen that
has not yet been discovered, so far at
least as the writer is concerned. The
nest is made in a roomy box, with
cover. Nailed to one side of the box
is little Stat yard-slats on top also
in which water and food are kept con-
stantly. The hen can go out into the
yard at any time, eat and drink and
has no temptation to wander away

IN the notch at top. Hitch the horse
to the chain, let him pull steadily, and
the post comes out without difficulty.
When the ground is very soft, as we
often find it in early spring, the op-
orator will experience considera BILE in
convenience from having the plank
driven deeply into the mud by the
great pressure. This can be obviated
by placing short, stout plank upon
the ground in such position that the
lower end of the upright may rest
upon it.-A. A. Rieff, Minnesota, in

Protect Sheep Against Grub in the
Head.
Many American shepherds advise
smearing the salt trough with tar, but
this is seldom thorough enough. A
practice to be recommended, where
the flock is not too large is to smear
the noses of the sheep periodically, at
least once week, during the season
of greatest activity of the fly, with a
mixture of equal parts of tar and
grease, or of tar and fish oil, or of tar
and whale oil. Some have used whale
OIL alone with good results. A brush
will be found convenient to apply
these mixtures. A reliable authority
speaks in fattering terms Of the use
of an ointment made as follows:
ReesWaX, one pound; linseed oil, one
pint; carbolic acid, four ounces. Melt
the wax and oil together, adding two
ounces of rosin to give body; then, as
it is cooking, stir in the, carbolic acid.
The same authority mentions the use
by some breeders of choice stock of
canvas face cover smeared with this
mixture. or with one Of asafetida and
tallow. which may be adjusted in such
a fashion as not to Interfere with the
sight or with grazing, and yet protect
the lamb against the fly that lays the
egg from which the grub Earches.
Some farmers plow a few burrows in
the pasture so the sheep may put their
noses in the fresh earth and thus keen
the fly away.-Orlnge Judd Farmer.

"'Sabrina fair, listen where thou art

A horse, a boy and one man, with
the device illustrated herewith, can

An Annoyance of Travel in India.

carrots two or three times a week.

SWIFT JUSTICE

For the Cold Blooded Murderers
OsCEoLA, Ark, Sept. 4.-Mrs.
Rhea, living near here, was MUIR
dered and robbed Tuesday by two
Negroes. Will Caldwell was plow-
ing in field near hsr house and
was approached by sn old Negro,
who told him that Mrs. Rhea had
sum of money in the house and
to go and kill her and return to
work and he would get the money.
Caldwell went to the house, MUIR
dered the woman with q club and
then returned to work. The other
Negro went to the house and Sc
cured the money.
Caldwell was arrested and con-
fessed. When he came into the
room where she was with club in
his hand and approached her, she
attempted to get revolver off the
mantel. He got it first, struck
her over the head several times,
and left. Caldwell was taken from
the Deputy Sheriff and hanged to
a limb and then riddled with bull
let's. The old man was arrested,
and it is probable that he was

FOR DRINKING WOMEN.
One Woman Arrested 277 Times for
Drunkenness.

LONDON, Sept. 14.-There is a
woman in London who is brought
constantly to public notice on ac-
count OF current charges Of being
drunk and disorderly. She has
been arrested 277 times.
A scheme that is just being set
on foot by the British Women's
Temperance association, of which
Lady Henry Somerset is president,
will enable magistrates to consign
such a woman TO what is practical
ly a reformatory, instead of to
short terms Of imprisonment. A
large farm has been secured in
Surrey, on which cottages are in
progress Of erection and a little vii
lage is rising clustered round a
main building. Her habitual ine-
briates will be received for not less
than one year. Each cottage &C
commodities a group of women,
with a matron, and thus a small
family circle ia formed which will
enable the sister in charge to deal
individually with her patients, and
remove from the undertaking all
the features Of constitution" In
the main building the women will
dine together, but their other
meals will be taken in the cottages
and more domestic life will be Sc
cured in this way.
The patients will be employed on
the farm in poultry raising, fruit
picking, flower growing and dairy
work. The maximum charge will
be five shillings, but where patients
can afford no payment cases will
be taken free, One cottage will be
set aside as a nursery for infants in
order to enable mothers to become
inmates of the home without be.

Houston, tried to desert. He was
cutting grass near the band quar-

very excellent marksman and he
fired three shots before any took
effect. The third passed through
Halls right arm and through four
partitions of Mack's saloon on
Grayson street. The bullet also
passed through a bird cage with q
bird in it, but did not hit the bird,
and also passed within foot of q

found in the yard OF Mack's saloon.
