POULTRY FEEDING BOX.
The One Here Described, According
to Ivs Designer, Is ms Perfect
as 1t Can He Made.

Please find within a drawing of my
improved poultry feeding box, which
has many points of Importance. A
box of this kind is made very cheaply;
it is easy to keep clean, and at the
same time keeps the birds from getting
into and soiling the food. AT the same
time each hen cannot push away her
neighbor in eating a meal, so that the
different ones can have a fair share of
the hot mush at the morning meal. To
construct a feed box of this kind, all
one needs is a board ten or twelve
inches wide, one inch or more thick and
four feet long; six or seven plastering
laths and a handful of wire single
nails, which are to be driven through
the top ends of the laths and clinched,
1t is well not to have the upper sides OF

WHEN BEES A
Month of June Is the Usual Time, Bat
sometimes They Go Out as
Early ms April.

Any one can tell just about the day
colony of bees will swarm, if they go
to the trouble of a~cquainting them
selves with the interior of the hive.
Some people know so little about bees
that they will watch the hives con-
s%tantly for swarms, perhaps for weeks
and months, and then are liable to be-
off their guard just when the swarm
comes. In the first place, colonies
must get very strong before taking the
swaIming fever, and usually even then
they are not likely to swarm unless
they are gathering plenty of honey.
Bees swarm more largely during the
month of June in most localities, but
may swarm earlier if the colony is
strong, even in the month of April.
Bees as a rule get ready to swarm
some time before swarming. They be-
gin to construct queen cells eight or
ten days before, and it is the presence
of these queen cells that plainly give
their little secret away. Learn first
what a queen cell is. The queen cells
are quite different from all other cells
in the hive. They are built on the out
edges of the combs, or in uneven places
on the surface. In beginning them the
bees build a heavier base about them
than other cells, and in cup shape, ant
with walls less than an eighth Of al
inch deep. They are thus ready for the
queen to deposit eggs in, and ordinarily
there r from ten to a dozen and il
some cases more in d colony.
After the eggs are deposited in thes'
cells we may know that the bees arr
preparing to swarm, and in eight o.
nine days will come off, if the weather
will permit them, or on the first fin
day thereafter. At this time thes'
cells will be built out full size, from
three-fourths to one inch long. At thi
age the cells are sealed over, which i
always an indication that the swarm l
due to come off, and if not alread,
swarmed, the weather perhaps ha
held them back, but they will come OF
the first fine day.
This applies to first swarms. Secon
swarms come after these young queen
begin to hatch, eight days later.-A.
Duff, in Farmers Voice.

he LOOKED DIFFERENT.
rns Barber Had shaved Him Before
But Failed to Recognize His
Heale Face.

A. Ninth street barber owns up that the
following experience was his own less than
. month ago. An actor from a neighboring
theater dropped in one afternoon to be
shaved, and seemed ~disinclined to talk. The
barber, says the Philadelphia Times, is be-
lever in the theory Of his tribe that CONVEX
sation makes the process of shaving easier
for the ~sbavee-that the time seems to pass
more quickly if the customer can be inter-
ested in this or that topic for the few neces-
sary minutes. He tried the actor on the
weather, the beef trust, the asphalt scandal
and the new filtration plant without sue
cess. Then, just to keep things going, he
asked:
you have never been shaved in here be-
fore, nave you, sir?"
"Oh, yes replied the actor. II was in
here once when we played across the street
about Is months ago-in the beginning OF
last season, it was"
Strange that | don't remember your
face" commented the barber.
"Wcll, you see," came from his victim,
"my face has healed up since then"

Crowding is bad in any stage of a
fowls existence. Perhaps it is worse
in the case of young chicks, whose
hold on life is very light at the
start. The brood that is watched
over by the old hen seldom is crowd
ed enough to be injured. Not so tine
brooder chicks. The amateur that
has a few incubators is very likely
to try to save space in the brooder,
or rather, to make one brooder dc
the work Of several. When too many
are brought together disease germs
have a good chance to multiply in the
rapidly accommodating filth. Bad air
also helps matters along,-Farmers'

EFFECTS OF CROSSING.
Where Poultry Raisers Practice 1t
Largely, the Result Is Nearly Al
ways n Failure.

Crossing the breeds has never given
good results, although a great many
try it, and will continue to do so. In
nearly all cases when the attempt IS
made to blend the best qualities of two
different breeds thu offspring is not
equal to either parent, hence IN the
course of n few years there will be no
uniformity, and the stock reverts to
the scrub. Too much mixing is no bet
ter than keeping scrubs. 1t is right
and proper to grade upa.common flock
with pure breeds, but to cross two pure
breeds is a mistake. Where crossing is
practiced largely, as with poultry, the
result is nearly always a failure, there
being no uniformity of color, size or
laying qualities. Pure breeds are real
ly the results of judicious crossings
and selections, and cannot be improved
upon except after years of care n Sc
lection of the best individuals. The
best possible security, short Of the
actual test, that any bird or animal
will produce it's characteristics in its
offspring is that these characteristics
are known to have belonged to a long
line of ancestors. Individual merit
and adaptation to our needs should be
the frst and most important points of
selection. The character of the ances-
tors should be considered. 1t is not
necessary to endeavor to determine the
character of any n of the ancestors,
for when pure breeds are used one gets
at once the results of selection for
years by those who worked in the past.
Crossing destroys the work that others
have done before.-Farm and Fireside.

The hens prefer clean nests, and
when they refuse to lay in the poul-
try-house, and begin to deposit their
eggs in the hay-loft, in the food
troughs, or away in the fields. the
chances are that lice have taken pos
session of the nests and driven the
hens away. A single broken egg in
the nest will oon cause millions Of
lice, and once they secure a foot
hold they stick closely until they
are driven off by heroic treatment.
Keep the nests clean, and always

for scattering in the nests when

HARPER BROS. WILL
 ADVERTISE SOUTH
REPRESENTATIVE APPEARS BE- FORE COMMERCIAL CLUB AND
 ASKS THAT BIRMINGHAM BE AD- vERTlsEo WITH OTHER CITIES.

A called meeting of the board of direc- tors of the Commercial club was held yesterday afternoon for the purpose of considering a proposition from Harpers' W eekly looking to the advertisement of Birmingham and the Birmingham dis trict in one or two page article in that magazine.
 President Roden being absent, Vice President S. D. Thompson presided at the meeting.
 Reo Bennett. representing Harper s n eel1ly, in explaining the object of the meeting, stated that several months ago his publication was petitioned by sev- eral of the large transportation systems entering the south, including both rail- road and steamship lines. to publish an edition treating of the sections touched by these transportation companies. They assured the Harpers of liberal support if they would consider the matter of adver- Using the south. The Hampers agreed. and sent representatives throughout the south, obtaining the necessary data for matter that would interest northern financiers and home-seekers. Several southern cities, including Jacksonville, Tampa, New Orleans. Mobile, Montgom- cry, Atlanta and Birmingham, are given an opportunity to advertise their re- sources. MT. Bennett stated that the ar ticle relating to the different cities would be written by men familiar with the sub ject, and of national reputation. The price would be 900 a page.
 Secretary Gibson stated that the Com mercial club had no funo for this pur- pose. and to raise the amount required for a page 1t would be necessary for special appeal to be made to the different corporations in the district.
 A motion was made by Wilson Brown that committee, composed of President B. F. Roden, Mayor W. M. Drennen, E. w Barrett, Rufus N. Rhodes and George M. Cruikshank. be appointed with full power to act for the Commercial club in the matter; to confer with Mir. Bennett and inquire into the merits of the matter, and if considered practicable, to give their endorsement and assistance to the advertisement. This motion was adopt ed.
 This committee will probably confer with Mir. Bennett today and take definite action Immediately.

MINGEA NOT GUILTY
 OF EMBEZZLEMENI'
FORMER CLERK OF THE INFERIOR CRIMINAL COURT IS ACQUITTED OF AN OLD cHARGE-INDlcTED IN 1898.

Sam Mingea was acquitted in the cir cult court yesterday morning on the charge of embezzlement. The trial of the case began Monday and was conclud- ed yesterday shortly before noon.
 Judge Coleman sustained the defend- Rnts demurrers to the effect that he was not in the employ of the city, the indict- ment alleging that while in the employ of the city Mingea was short i1 his ac- counts to-the amount of several hundred dollars.
