Serviceable Poultry H0uae Aade Out
Of Plane Lex.
Oftentimes, the keeper Of small
flock Of hens does not feel that he can
afford an expensive house for his
poultry; the lumber necessary might
notcost much, but it might BE necessary
to have carpenter build it, which
would materially add to Its cost. This
is frequently the state OF affairs in
town, where the chickens have to be
kept in an inclosure. In such place
was recently seen the poultry house
shown in cut. It was simply an upright
piano box; such box may frequently
be bought in town very cheap from
some one who has no place to store it,
and If arranged as described, will make
a desirable home for ten or dozen
chickens with t'the lord Of the flock y
The box was set up on bricks, two high,
to allow free circulation Of air under
it in the summer. The upright front
was fastened firmly to the sides, after
a hole was cut at one side to allow the
fowls free passage. Inside, laths were
nailed over the cracks, and in the fall
the entire inside was sheathed with
building paper, making it warm and
coy. The s.anting front was arranged

The Jaw of the Sheep.

There is a popularity in the mechan-
ism of a sleeps jaw and grinders that
helps one to understand the reason why
sheep are able to get SO much nutriment
from their food. In noticing sheep
chewing it's cud it cannot but be OBJ
served that the jaw has peculiar mo-
ton from side to side. The branches
of the lower jaw are closer together
than the molars are in the upper. Then
in their molars their edge have differ
ent slopes In the upper row the face
of the molar slopes very decidedly from
the higher inner edge to the lower out
er, while in molars of the lower jaw the
face slopes from the outer edge to the
higher inner. These things, together
with the rough surfaces of the molars,
give a sheep the power to thoroughly
grind it's food.-Porf. J. A. Craig.

to work on hinges, being hinged to the
upright front so that it could be
brought forward when raised. Inside,
cleats were attached the width of a
window sash, and in this a sash was
fastened arranged so as to slide under
the cover. The cover, by the way, was
sawed in half so that the part covering
the glass could be raised and the other
half remain closed. The expense of
this house was small, and the labor
necessary to put it in shape did not re-
quire the Services of mechanic. More
over, the slope of the boxwas just right
for the glass front, and the whole made
warm, light house: The nests were
arranged so that they could be easily
reached by letting down the cover. In
the fall, the space between the box and
ground was banked up with sod which,
of course, added to thefwarmth of the
house.-Rural New Yorker. 49,
