The nest boxes are placed on a board
fastened to the planking inside, and on
each side about 4 feet from the floor.
The door (D), which can be made any
size wished, is placed at the end of the
house. A door should be placed at the
dark, round hole in the end, which is
the opening from the floor to the ma
nure trough &c @, being planked up.
The deck floor (E E) should run from
the top and end of hopper to door (A),
being 12X3 feet, the roosting poles be-
ing placed directly over the hopper
crosswise. F is a plank with cleats
nailed on for the passage of the chick

The part of the ground floor not taken
up by the manure box can be used for
young chickens to roost and stay in dur
ing wet and damp weather. When they
are. old enough to roost on poles they
may be easily caught and placed in the
manure trough and they will climb up
to the roosts. After being let out sew
eral times with the other chickens they
will go to the roosts by themselves.
Windows may be put in south side of

should be battened well to keep out the
cold and air. With house of this

THE MESSENGER BOY STRIKING
THE BELL.

souvenir of her existence and achieve
ments. On man of war the bell is
usually inscribed with her name and
the date of her launching; and as it is
probable that it may some day become
memento of glorious history, the
bell is often the subject of special care
in casting or selection. Sometimes the
hundreds of workmen who have built
the great ship contribute each a silver
coin to be melted and nodded into
bell which shall be the token of their
love for the object of their creation and
their interest in her future career.
Often the people of the city or state
after which a man of war is named
may present to her a magnificent bell
appropriately ornamented and in
scribed with words of good will and
good wishes. Such a bell is usually
presented with ceremony after the ship
goes into commission.
Ships bells in general are made of
bronze, like other bells. The addition
of silver in their composition gives
them a peculiarly clear and musical
tone. They are placed in such posi-
tion on the upper deck that they may
be heard from one end of the ship to
the other; and are usually near the
mainmast or at the break of the fore
castle. One popularity exists in
ships bell which is necessary on ac-
count of her motion at sea. The tongue
is hung so that it can swing in only one
! direction. If it were not so the bell
would be continually ringing as the
ship rolled and pitched. The direction
in which the tongue can swing is an
other important point. If it were
athwartships the bell would ring at
every heavy roll of the ship; and if it
were fore and ait the bell would ring
at every deep pitch; so the direction in
which the tongue can swing is nearly
| half way around between these two.

THOUGHT THE WHALE WAS DEAD.
siderable worried about the wind hold
in, or whether I'd git ashore afore
starved to death. Howsumever, to
make the story short, sailed all night,
md as soon as daylight come l sees
land dead ahead, about four miles
away.
Now, wished l knowed how much
water that whale drawed, SOS l could
tell what kind O. harbor to make fur.
] looked mighty close at the land which
] were approachin', but l couldn't see
no inlet. But putty soon l did see
somethin' wot pleased me a heap more,
an that were an Esquimau a-comin'
off in his dak. He'd seed me a-comin',
and was bound to find out wot kind o.
craft | were. He pulled up about so
yards away an aXed me wot l were.
I told him as quick as l could, an says
to him, says L, to please take me off.
''Waal, young gentlemen, before he
could make stroke, | felt sudden
earthquake under me. The whale give
great big shiver, bumped his back,
threw up his fiukes, sent me a-fyin'
into me air, an disappeared.
Luckily for me, I'd already taken
off my harpoon yard, so, arter sinkin'
pretty deep, l came up agin, an the
Esquimau, who had made Il good guess,
were right there an grabbed me. He
pulled me into his boat, where | sat
puflickly dumb fur a few minutes.
Wen l looked up the Esquimau were
a-laffin' at me. Putty good joke,

Why says he, you ort to be satisfied.
That whale saved your life / says to
him, says L, That's all VERY well, but

business to come to life agin like that.
Dead? Nonsense!' says the Es-
quimau, paddlin' me toward the land
He were asleep
"'Asleep?' says L; with harpoon
in him?'
Yes says he to me, says he, latin
stiff more; you hit him ON the funny
bone with it wen you struck him, an
jest put him to sleep arter the first
shock were over. 1t always does. We
Esquimau often harpoon whales on
the funny bone just fur the fun O. thC

"The people Of South Dakota have, in the
last four years, paid off S50,000,000 of their
debts" said one of the best known loan
agents of the State, "and they are now
payingoff alta very rapid rate. As things are
nowgoing the people of the State, and espe-
cially the farmers, will soon be well out of
debt. The large crops of the last few years,
coupled with the close times, have had the
effect of giving the people an appetite for
getting out of debt, and fortunately has also
given them the ability to do So"
Another agent who represents a loan com
pany which has several million dollars
loaned on farm property in South Dakota,
adds his testimony but the agent complains
that he cannot find takers for one-third of
the amount he would like to loan
Our company has 800 loans in this State
on farm lands" said the agent above re.
ferred to, "and we have not had over fifty
foreclosures in seven years. The company
does not own foot of land in the State and
never lost cent on a loan. Chicago Trib-

WATERING HORSES.
An Important Duty Which Is Neglect
ed Far Too Often.

eu rhr TOO OIten.
No detail for caring for horses during
the summer is of more Importance than
supplying them with water. 1t is a mat
ter for regret that it is necessary to call
attention to the neglect of working
horses in this respect, but it seems
necessary to do so. Many men who
feed their stock literally, furnish warm
places for them in winter and keep the
stables as cool as possible during the
summer, seem to forget that the team
that is working under the burning sun
in the field from morning until noon
must suffer from thirsj in a way that
is intensely agonizing.
Any man who tries to work half
day in the harvest field without drink.
ing will soon begin to feel some of the
effects of going without water when
making severe eXertion on a hot day,
and will appreciate the condition of
Woodworking horse under the same
conditions.
Sometimes it seems like waste OF
time to stop team and take it to get
drink, but time spent in this way is
never wasted, for the team will do
enough more to make up for the stop.
There are places where it seems impos,
sible to give the team drink between
| breakfast and noon and between noon
and supper, but there is no shadow OF
excuse for leaving team hitched tc
the fence without water while the driver
goes to his supper and then comes bach
to work the team until dark without
water from noon until that time. Such
a proceeding is not so common as it
once was, but it is still practiced to
some extent, and is the worst sort OF
cruelty to animals.
Horses perspire freely and are the
only domestic animals that do, and
their need for water is increased as the
amount of perspiration increases, and
during the hot weather every effort
should be made to prevent them from
suffering from thirst, which is the worst
sort of torture.-Farmers' Voice.

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
A TROUBLESOME GALL.

We were going. on Saturday, ever so far
My mamma and Ito the Dollies' bazaar,
Where fifty wax dollies-the loveliest
show
Went walking about when they wound 'em,
you know
You wouldn't believe half the things they
could do
Why, one said: Good morning." as plain
ly as you.
One played the piano, and one, dressed in
lace,
Walked up to a mirror and powdered her
face.
Well, when we were ready we stepped in
the hall,
And there was lady a-coming to call.
She said she just CHANGED to be passing
that way,
And she really had only a minute to stay.
We waited and waited, and hoped she would
Till 1 saw it was almost the time for the
show,
For Iheard the clocks striking all over the
town,
And knew that the dollies would all be
run down.
And so I just said: 81 should spose, Mrs
Black,
Your bddl. little girl wonders why don'tyou come
That's all that 1 spoke, every IDENTICAL
word;
But she said: Little girls should be seen
and not heard"
| guess that's proverb, so maybe 'tis true (;
But, If people won't see, what can little
girls do?
My mamma looked queer, but that ended
the CALL
And we went to the Dollies' Bazaar. after
all.

Good Way to House Hogs.

A cheap and healthful way to house
sows and pigs is to make hoorless
houses, six by six or six by eight, set
over a bottom composed of an inch or
two of coal cinders with five or six
inches of broken corn cobs on top. This
makes good bed, and it is claimed that
hogs do not root into it. Each spring
ard fall tip the house over and roll it
out of the way, saturate the cobs with
coal oil and burn them up. This makes
clean, dry place for new bed, and
destroys all filth and disease germs.
The cobs can usually be obtained free
of charge wherever power shelter Is

Rntion for Growing Pigs.

Pigs, during growth, should be fed
on muscle-making foods. A mixture of
ground corn, oats aud shorts, with o
small proportion of old process oil meal,
makes a good combination, mixed in
such proportions as suits the feeders
fancy. The mixture should be soaked
from one feed to the next, or wet up
when fed. If soaked from one feed to
another, care must be taken not to let
it ferment or sour. This kind of feed
may be fed until the new crop Of corn
is ready. Care must be taken to make
gradual change. Hogs at no time
should be permitted to depend upon a
ration of corn alone.-American Swine

He placed car fridge ill the rifle and with the ham, mer thrown back at haif-cock he rested the muzzle of the weapon on his foot, in Il most careless manner. He touched the trigger and the gun was discharged. The ball cut q hole through his foot between the great and second toe. Fortunately no bones were broken, and Tom, like little man, is at his post this morning, though he will not be able to wear a shoe for a week or more. The ball penetrated the sole of his shoe and ploughed q hole in the ground Tom will have greater respect for his rifle in future.

 land causes a Commotion.

On last Friday the Government steamer, cleveland, with n tow of barges arrived here to begin work on our river front, which needs it so badly if isnot to be washed awav.
 Yesterday the GRArnIc reporter noticed number of rampant Ere. Silyerites caucusing and pointing with excited jestures toward the river front. He set about lea ming tho cause. and approaching one Of the crowd asked what was tLe mat ter:
 Me have been grossly insulted, replied well-known Free Silver man. Just look at that vessel bearing that ill-omened name-C -Cleve- land-it was sent here just to tor ment us in our misery, and We should send 1t to the bottom of the river. We doA't want anything about us with the name Cleveland on 1t. Just look at the harm the man whom the boat was named for has caused Us. When he became President there was q street car line on nearly every street in Pine Bluff. Now, thanks to his manner iii administering national affairs, the car line is gone. our people have not money enough to Iay | car fare, times are hard and growing harder. He had it iil his power to give prosperity to the IeoHntry and did not do it. D--n lGleyeland, and anything that bears his name Let LIS sink the d--n l b0atl1
 Other members of the party joined the excited speaker and were mnrch- 1 ing toward the river when cooler hends reminded them that Harrison was now President, and that it was due to his administration that the boat had been sent here, and a sug- gestion was made that the day was very hot and that it would be a good idea to take something to cool 1 the inner man, so the crowd facnd dDOul iliu sDugll lie nearest Sal0OH and soon tho reporter heard, aI'lI

 Thus ended an affair which might l have become LII international one
 to which the trouble between the United States and Spain would have
 been as nothing.
