This Has a Familiar Ring.

The Kirkwood Qll.) Leader says:
San old hen belonging to Mrs. M. A.
Stormont began laying late in the fall
and was so persistent that she laid
26 eggs before she concluded to stop.
During all this time she had neglected
her melting, and when she finally got
ready to shed her feathers it was in
the middle of winter, but the old ones
had lost their life and were dry and
harsh; consequently there was no
other way but to make the change. In
a short time she was almost bare. and
suffering from the cold. The Misses
Stormont, seeing her predicament
and approaching the value Of her serv-
ice rendered, determined to come to
her rescue. They accordingly took
the old hen into the house, took her
measurements, made her a suit of
fannels to fit and then released her.
Her ladyship took the matter very
phllosophically and hustled off to
her companions, apparently very COM
Portable in her new suit"

b b, are nailed across both top and
bottom to hold the nuprights in place
and make the frame firm. Supports
for the nest boxes are wires, desig-
mated by C C in the diagram, and to
put them in place holes are augered
through all the boards, which is best
done before the rack is put together.
Strips might well be used in place of
the wires and would give additional
strength. If wire is used, it will prove
most satisfactory if kept tight.
The nest boxes are made of one-half
inch lumber. They are 11H inches
wide, IL inches long and five inches
deep. The bottom is made to project
six inches, providing a step for the
hens to alight on. The space above the
boxes would depend partly on the
breed of poultry, but with boxes five
inches high a 14-inch space between
wires will be sufficient. The improved
nest boxes have the advantage of be.
ing light, easily made and readily
cleaned.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Rate of Wheat Seeding,

A fertile soil will stimulate and sup.
port more tillering than a thin soil,
sc under usual conditions more seed
should be put on a thin soil than on
. fertile one. There are conditions
under which an extra heavy seeding
may be more desirable on a rich soil
than the usual rate. Where the grain
Is inclined to lodge, very thick seed
ing will dwarf the stalk enough to-
lessen this damage very much. In
the districts Of light rainfall, the num-
Der of plants per square foot should
be less than in a humid region, as a
thick stand would suffer more than 4
thinner stand would when there was
q lack of moisture in the, soil. But
in these localities the tiliering is less
and the growth of the plants smaller
