This is essential, as there should be straw all around the nest in cold weather, especially under it. c repre- sents the hallway. which is about eight inches wide. The partition at B, the width of nests AAA, should run to the top; the others only us high ar the front. The platform in front should be twice the length of door (D) Fig. ?.
 The inside partitions should be loose, 50 that they can be taken out of the drop door (F); through this door the eggs can be gathered also. The door (F) may be on the top or either side. The button co can be used to hold it up, if on the side, and leather hinges can be used. The nests should be about one foot from the floor, SO that the hens will not run in and out so often. think this nest will keep eggs warmer in winter and prevent egg eating better than anything I ever tried.-Ohio Farmer.

Asrlealtaral Appropr..t.o...

As compared with other lines of gov ernment appropriations agriculture has always drawn quite slenderly on the public purse. The appropriations of the past eigat years show up as follows: In 1890 the appropriation was $1 ,669, ITO. In 1891 this was increased to $1. .796. .502. In 1892 great increase was asked for and secured, the figure being $3.O2s, ,i53. This was again increased in 1s93 to $3,- 23s,o61. In the next year, 1894. the high water mark of agricultural appro- priations was reached, the figure being ss,32s,500. In 1895 this was reduced to S,226,9l5. In 1896 this was slightly in- creased, the total being $3,3o3,75c. This Wss reduced last year to $s,2s5,5s2.

 All Strength In tuo Limbo gave out. The physicians told us it was paralysis, which sometimes follows an attack of diphtheria. We did everything for him, but he grew worss until hs was in . pitiful condition He suffered ter ribly at night and complained continu- |ally of his head, and in what little sleep he was able to get. moaned un- |ceasingly. He lost all control of the muscles of his body and limbs. He had no appetite and complained of feeling sick at his stomach all the time. After we had tried many different remedies and had about given up all hope we con-
 menced giving him Hoods Sarsaparilla.
 In short time he ceased to complain,
 his appetite improved and at the end |of three months he was able to attend school 2 part of the time. Now he is well and quite strong and rugged boy.

STICK TO THE PIG.
Ne Other Farn Animal wiIl Pay nses
 ter for Good Care.

Nc Other Farn Animal Will Pay neeu
 ter for Good Care.
 The tendency to concentrate or spe. cialize farm operations may be carried too far. It is generally understood and acknowledged that the pig is an i'm portant part of the stock of a dairy farm. and can be kept on what would otherwise go largely to waste, that some small farmers who are not in the dairy business begin to feel that they have no place among pork raisers. Thia is not wise conclusion. When a man simply puts the value of the food oi the pig against the value of the porl, produced, he shows that he has either forgotten something or neglected some important opportunities.
 There are many things about any farm and garden that pig will make better use of than anything else. We know that hens will eat most of the kitchen waste, and the weeds can be turned into fertilizer in a compost heap, but the pig will dispose of the weeds much better and quicker and get enough out of them to pay for his trouble. Then there is always a lot of fine, rubbish about the premises not edible and which would go of in smoke if burned, that Is needed in the pig pen for an absorb ent, and will there be made into rich fertilizer. There is no other animal on the farm that is so much neglected as the pig and none that will pay better for good care and enough of it.
 Good care does mt consist wholly cfwarm pcnsand sufficient food, though these are too often lacking; it also in- cludes a change of food, sunshine, water to drink and something besides muddy filth to root in. While the most serious problem before our farmers is supply ing and sustaining fertility, and while they know that what they get from the pig pen is among the most valuable that they handle, they seem to think it is the duty of the pig or the pen, or both, to supply this material, and when the supply is small, cast no reflections on themselves. A man who cannot bring his mind and his habits down to the care of details enough to put his chip dirt, weeds, leaves and a supply of muck or sods into the pig pen regularly and often will not succeed with poultry. If he will do this he can make the pig pay so that the pork will be clear gain. Rural World.

LIGHT FARM GATE.

spaced, make the gate just 5 feet high, and the calculation is based on that number: Six horizontal bars, by 4 by II, equals 22 feet; two diagonal braces, 1 by by 61s, feet; four upright braces and latch, 1 by by 5, T feet; total amount of lumber. 3s feet. at $1.50 per hundred costs 57 cents; bolts and hinges, 25 cents; nails, cents; hang ing and making (two hours) 20 cents; total cost of gate, SLOT. This does moi include posts, as they are identical with those used with other kinds of gates. In this locality two good black locust posts of proper size would cost about 20 to 25 cents each. The one to which the gate is hung should be put at least 3 feet into the ground.-Cor. Breeder'a 1Azetter.

Jusr MARRIEn.
How 'sHubby~ Orders His supplasu
 Through the Tclephono.


 When young man marries and opens up home one of his chief anxieties is to appear master of the situation and as much like . veteran as possible. Blueton, whe would be widely known by his real name, is new ben edict and just settled. Here is sample e. lected from his almost continuous conversa- tion at the telephone:
 Send me up pound of carpet tacks. Number! don't know anything about the number of tacks in pound. All you've got to do is to fill my order. And, say, send me half peek of nails. Tenpennysy I'm not asking the price, am I? Yes. half a peck: that's what said. Now l want a saw. Don't you know your business. This is . private residence--Mr. Blueton's residence. It's no lumber mill. don't want any buxs saw or gang saw, just . regular house saw Throw m hammer and hatchet and . stepladder. And say, want good strong stove leg. We broke one in moving. None of your bush who made the stove. All you've got to do is to send up the leg"
 After swearing for few minutes Blueton was rattling away at the grocery:
 Three pounds of steak. What kind! beefstcak, of course. We're not eating horsesteak or sheep steak at our house. Three yards of sausage. Never mind, now. how other people buy it. I always buy by the yard. A gallon of coffee, two dozen frying onions, half bushel of oranges--yes, half bushel. Now, whose make of canned goods do you handle? All right, send us a couple of cases of selected, quarter of . section of cheese, half bale of lettuce, two or those cigar-shaped loaves of bread, a pal of butter and sack of sugar. Yes, just regulation sack, you know. And. hold on, put in basket of eggs Good by. De troit Free Press

 At rare intervals the moon peeped through the pillows of a sea of fleecy clouds and cast sckly beams across the path of form which was walking slowly end steadily in country graveyard The figure stole furtive glances about him as be crept to the grave of . man who had died on the esllows cn Friday; Just as ths clock was tolling the midnight hour the form fell prostrate on the grave, utterins not sound. Almost in an instant ths figure arose. Taking . knife from hia pocket, he made a single, rapid cut, and turned to leave the place. A moonbeam revealed look of ghoulish gles on lii countenance.
