one pictured herewith is most excellent
in every respect.
Cheapness and simplicity combined
with practicability mako 1t indeed a
joy to both the keeper and the fowls.
As can be seen, it consists of an or
binary wooden trough having an oval
top made of pieces OF tough, thin
boards bent into and held in position
by being firmly nailed to the uppers
OF the end pieces, which in turn are
hinged to the lower parts on one side
and hooked on the other. By this ar
rangement the poulterer is enabled to
"open" the affair like trunk, clean
out the trough and then fill it again
with food.
By having the trough divided into
compartments, as represented, whole
poultry ration, such as grain, corn,
meal, grit, water lin cans or drinking
fountains), broken oyster shells and
so on, can be very nicely stored there.
and thus it is that the fowls can enjoy

Hat Pins.

Now that hat pins are selling for
$1,000, downward, the minds Of inven-
tive geniuses are turning toward pin
that will stay in the hat, past all dan"

with a little spring which worked by

A Woman as Map-Draver,

Mrs. Eugenia A. Goff, who has been
successfully draughting maps and
charts for some years, gained her first
experience when she was o member Of
the faculty Of the Winona Normal
School, in Minneapolis, MINI, by
writing q little unpretentious geog-
raphy Of her native State.
After the geography was published
Miss Wheeler began to design map
to aid her in teaching the history of
the United States. Publishers OF
school supplies in Chicago and St.
Louis heard OF her work and went to
Winona to secure it, but did not offer
q sufficient amount to induce her to
part with 1t.
subsequently she married Henry S.
Goff, an Instructor in the same insti'
tuition. Mr.. Golf appreciated the
value Of his wite's work, and took ii
to Chicago, where it sold for q good
! sum.
Since then Mr.. and Mrs. Golf have
draughted over thirty maps. Mrs
Golf is now draughting map OF thu
recent war, but does not neglect the
other calls upon her talents. She il
chairman Of the Press Committee o
the Woman's Council, and has deliv
cred some interesting lectures, illus
trating the same with map.

For Feeding Poultry,

Fowls are always and forever soil
ing their food when it is "dished out"
to them in the ordinarily haphazard
way. This is especially true if the
birds are confined, and as large per-

thus goes to waste, not to mention the
rendering of as much more revoltingly
unfit for the stomach of even an os'
trich, little matter who the poulterel
is, he can ill.afford to do without some

de D. at the close Of one OF these

answered Sue; ''but though my gifts
are small, they are always cheerfully

he left the Cafe de Paris, where he

Dairy Farming.

Many Eastern farmers in seeking
some line of agricultural pursuit that
NAV prove remunerative TO some de-
gree are turning their attention to
dairy farming. There are advantages
that come from this line OF effort, one
OF the chief OF winch Is IN achnUw:-
edged Improvement of the farm. This
is an important consideration, but not
the sole one to be thought of. While
it is best to pursue such course as will
secure the improved condition OF the
farm, there should always be desire
which is laudable to get fair income
as result of labor performed and OF
capital invested.
All who engage in dairy farming do
not make it success, but some do.
Upon this point Professor Patterson,
of the Maryland Experiment Station
in bulletin upon this subject, says:
"success in dairy farming depends
really upon three facts-the man, the
COW and the feed" Regarding the
man, he should have good range OF
knowledge and be possessed OF sound
Judgment. He should give regular
End proper attention to the business;
he should be keen observer and have
n proper sensibility Of neatness and
cleanliness; he should also nave Q
mild and even temper. p!
Regarding the COW, no dalryman
should be satisfied with any animals
hut those of the best; they may cost
some more, but it must be remem.
bered that the cost of feed for good
COW is no more than for poor one,
while the returns ore very many times
greater; neither is the care and atten-
ton any more for q good one than q
moor one, It is fact that the feed,
labor or care and attention are disproI
portionate in poor animal when COM
pared with good one. -,
It is not necessary that COWS should
be thoroughbreds to secure good re-,
suits; excellent animals are found
among natives and grades, and 1T IS
these that should be sought after at
} all times. The great object should be
to secure those that have descended
from we'll known milk and butter
strains.
Dairymen can hardly expect to get
, satisfactory COWS on the market, FOL
one who sells will hardly sell his pes

J Regarding feed, it is hardly necee
a. sary to mention so plain fact as thS
y one cannot expect to secure somethin
from mt nS4nE Tt4 es sl99 not 'sHf az
