HABITS OF SOUTHERN BOYS.
Two Characteristic Marks by Which
Their Home Section May be
Determined.

"I'll bet that boy is from the south"
said a man, as he saw lad of about II
come in and take his place at another
table in the dining-room, relates the
New York Sun.
"Have you heard him speak?" asked
the other man.
''No; that is not necessary. You will
notice that his hair is correctly
brushed in front, while behind it looks
as if it had been tumbled up in a west
err tornado
cit is a southren boys way. never
knew one who brushed the hair on the
back of his head. | do not know why,
nor do / know why a southern boy who
has to shine his own shoes never puts
a polish on the heels. He will labor
in getting up mirror shine on the
front of his shoes and leave his heels
untouched until they become russell in
shade.
"There is another thing that you
will notice about a boy who has been
raised in the south-he rarely parts
his hair in the middle. 1t is either
parted on the side or reached
Il don't know what has become of
the boy with what we used to call the
cowlick on his hair, but at one time he
was very numerous. l haven't seen a
boy with cowIick since the war, but
when 1 lived in the south he was often
SEEN"

This is a good way of protecting the
setting hens from being disturbed by
others, and is better than boards laid
over a box with rocks on it. The doors
are braced with two cleats made from
a piece one by four by six
inches, by ripping it from one cor
ner to the other. These are nailed
onto the doors and form a sup
port for door when open, also pre-
vent door from splitting. Each door
has hole three inches in diameter
bored in center to give air to hens. In
the evening when gathering eggs, all
doors can be closed and fastened with
buttons, which prevents fowls from
rOOsting on edges of nest boxes or
doors, thereby always keeping nests
clean.
The whole nest box is open at back.
and is set against the wall of chicken
house and fastened to it by two hooks,
it resting on cleats, e, which are nailed
onto wall. BY unlocking, the whole
thing can be laid back downward and
all cleaned at once. Each door is fas-
tened to box by a hinge. The nests are
four inches deep from door. If too
deep, heavy hens often break eggs in
jumping onto nest, but in this box they
just step in. The entire tier is eight
by three and IL inches wide. Each
nest is II inches square.-C. Z. Knud-
son, in Farm and Home.
