be straw all around the nest in cold

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 as high as
the front. The platform in front
should be twice the length of door (D),
Fig. 2.
The inside partitions should be loose,
SO 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 (G) can be used to hold 1t
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. I think this nest will keep eggs
warmer in winter and prevent egg
eating better than anything | ever

SUCCESSFUL FARMING.
The Man Who Knows How TO Save
Wins In the End.


Wins In the End.
Successful farming consists in maxi
ing the farm pay, and it includes all the
little odds and ends about the place.
Economy is the first lesson for anybody
to learn if he would succeed in his busl-
ness. But economy does not imply any
thing unreasonable. The picking up
of lost horseshoe, a strap, bolt or
nut, an ear of corn that fell from the
wagon, fork full of hay that dropped
from load, is a small matter, but n
thousand such items, If put together
would amount to good deal and would
go a long way toward helping a man
out of trouble.
To save is better than to earn. To
utilize small things is better than to
strive for what is beyond our reach.
The small farmer, he who has a small
tract of land, may be just as independ-
ent, just as comfortable, just as happy
and quite as successful as the bonanza
farmer who tills acres by the thousand.
a rev acres well TILED, with the many
small items of convenience and use
that every farmer may have as well as
not will keep any reasonable family in
comfort.
A farmer who is out of debt and keeps
out, that cultivates his land WELL has a
good garden for his wife, has a we'll
kept orchard and vineyard matter
how small, that raises some cattle, some
sheep, some hogs, some poultry, always
has fruit, meat, grain and vegetables in
plenty and to spare. He does not want
the earth, but he does want good,
happy home and good name for those
to enjoy who come after him. This is
successful farming.-Advocate and
