from the ground. The slanting floor
should be built on the same pitch as the
perches and from one and one-half to
two feet below the perches. At the sides
of the coop, where the floor joins the
side, a long box reaching the entire
length and about foot vide is placed
to catch the droppings from the
perches.
The opening for cleaning this box can
be made at the end, if it is not too long.
One end Of the box can be elevated a
couple of feet above the oper end, thus,
with device made in the sh; pc of hoe
with handle long enough to each to the
farther end, making an eas< and quick
job. BY letting the end IF the box
like trough extend a foot beyond the
end of the coop a wheelbarrow or cart
can be run beneath it and the contents
emptied directly into it. If the coop
is too long for this mode of emptying
the receptacle, take board one foot in
width and make a door to close an OPEN
ing along the side of the box. You can
use this door as the side of. the box.
Fasten with hinges at the top and place
buttons to hold it in place when closed.
Also put button above to hold the door
up while cleaning. In the accompany
ing illustration a part of the front of
the coop is left out to show the perches
in position. Both ways of emptying
the box are also shown.-Ohio Farmer.

SHADE IN POSITION.

BILE. If desired, more than two bolts
can be'put in, but two will prove suffi-
cient on most machines: Most machines
have the seat back of the shade, instead
of in front of it, as shown in the illus
tration.
There may be some other mode that
will suit the machine you are using. If
so, use it. The main idea is to have a
shade. 1t is folly to endanger life and
health by overheating and sunstroke,
when a trifing expense. and little work
will insure safety and comfort. The
only great difficulty is the wind, but
the need of shade is not great with
good breeze blowing. The umbrella

THE FLAG QUESTION.

The treatment accorded to the Nor
wegian flag law by the ultra-conserv-
ative party in Sweden is slowly but
surely developing new phase as is
the controversy about the Swedish
Norwegian union. The Norwegians
are democrats to the backbone and u
very large proportion, perhaps q ma
jority, of the Norwegian people would
prefer republican form of govern
ment to that under which they are
now living. Many Norwegians look
upon kins as a sort of political relic.
Then comes the flag law" 1t is
and thanks to a peculiar kink in the
constitution of Norway, it becomes
law in spite of the king. The king
has sworn to obey this constitution,
and unlike many officers the world
over, he proposes to keep his oath. He
says iu substance: Next fall the union
jeck shall be cut out of the Norwegian
merchant flag, and shall give instruc-
tions to our ambassadors and consuls
abroad accordingly. l. hate to do this,
but propose to keep my oath and do
my duty whether 1 like it or not" 1t
takes no microscope to detect the MAN
in this manner of action. But after
the king outlined this policy the aris-
tocracy of Sweden started a movement
for the purpose of having the flag law
ignored. The first chamber of the
riksdag passed vote against the en-
forcement of the law; patriotic organ
izations are passing resolutions and
university professors are writing books
galore to prove that the law is null and
void. They do not abuse the king but
all these utterances virtually condemn
the standpoint taken by the king in
the matter. The people of the two
countries are not slow to ''catch on to
this new phase of the union wrangle.
The Swedes are not consumed with
love for their monarch just at present,
while the word liking" sounds more
sweetly in the ears of the Norwegians
than it has for many summers. The
king instead of being a stumbling block
is now doing more for the union than
all other forces com bined though many
of those who are in the midst of the
smoke of the battle are unable to see it.

DRAINING BARNYARDS.
How the Lots Can BE kept Sweet and
Dry ut All Seasons of the
Year.

There is commonly received opin-
ION that tile drains do not work we'll in
barnyards, for the reason that the
tramping of the surface will puddle the
earth to the extent that the water will
not get down into the drains, SAYS
Drainage Journal. To some extent
this is true, but tile drains will drain
the underlying earth and prevent the
mud in the barnyard from getting so
deep. We have found that three or four
drains well located in the barn lot, the
number depending on the size of the lot,
Will serve good purpose in keeping the
foundation firm. I then gravel the
surface where I expect the stock to
tramp most. By so doing the surface
soon gets firm and free from sloppy
mud, and we have no deep mud. 1t is
all a mistake to think that tiling will
do no good. The water from the caves
may be caught in cutters and conducted
down to tile drain and carried away,
without affecting in any way the barn
lot. 1t requires little common sense
in ditching and graveling to have dry
oarn 1ot. But there are. some who
would not feel at home unless they
could approach their barn and stable
by stepping from one piece of rail or
board to another, getting to the door
with hop, skip and jump. It would
be so unnatural otherwise. There are
people, however, who prefer dry land,
and we write for their benefit. AS for
the other fellows they can roll up their
trousers and wade through.
Most of the complaint about manure
being w4shed away is due to leaving it
under the caves of the barn for the wa
ter to fall upon it and wash it away.
Better have the water carried away
with cutters entering into down pipes
connected with tile drains. BY so do
ing you have dry barn lot.

Sulphur for SOIL Rot.

Experiments in New Jersey have
shown the great value of sulphur, which
leads all other substances in checking
the soil rot in sweet potatoes, it having
proved most effective in destroying this
disease. -Four hundred pounds of sui
phur per acre were used, and the test
carried on for five years on the same
Soil, which was badly infested with the
rot. The increase from sulphur was
nearly three times that of the plats
where no sulphur was used. The in.
crease of salable sweet potatoes was $50
per cent, and the increased profit at 50
cents per bushel: was $40 per acre. j..

that and the allowance by the regular
army. The payments thus far have

and Fourteenth regiments. The men,
bers of the Thirteenth will not be
paid until that regiment returns from
the Philippines. Of those enlisted in

men have been paid sums aggregating
$9,63S.S4. Where the men are located
in the same counties as the companies
in which they enlisted. they sign a
