cation of insecticide and new filling.
One part of crude carbolic acid and

for repelling vermin. Where boxes
are stationary they are inconvenient

These movable boxes are just the
thing where hens are used for incu-

eggs are given to her, and at night
the box, hen and all. is carried to an
apartment of the brooder house,
where she can serve out her time un-
molested. and at the same time get
on to take food and exercise.
The boxes should be all made uni

so that box may be removed from

MOVABLE NEST BOXES.
1hey Are Easily Taken Down for
Cleaning and the Hens Seem
to Like Them,

various arrangements for nesting
boxes in the henhouse have been
suggested, but the best is, for all gen.
eral purposes, the plain box hung on
TWO nails SO that it can be taken
down easily. The groceryman's box
pile will furnish an abundance of ma
terial to select from. as the boxes
do not need to be uniform in size
About IL inches square and five
inches deep is what is wanted. Nail
two cleats to the back, allowing them
to project six inches above the box.

the box is hung on two tenpenny
nails driven in the walls of the build

1t is remarkable how many soiled

stores and elsewhere. Many make
NO attempt to clean them dAmany
more do not know how to do it prop
erly when they make the attempt.
Stained and smeary eggs hurt the
sale to marked degree, as it il not
only . matter Of tastefulness, but II
gives the eggs 1tale look.
Eggs all Of. one color and perfect
~ clean make an attractive appear
ance and will readily bring several
cents more per dozen than . dirty
lot, particularly when quality goes
with appearance and the one is gem
orally an indication of the other. An
egg is improperly cleaned when it
is wet too much and not rubbed dry
with q dry cloth. Some, when they
see spots Of dirt on eggs put them
in a pan Of water and wash them
like potatoes. There is, on the fresh
ly laid egg, q mucilaginous covering
which gives it . velvety appearance
peculiar to new eggs. Water re-
moves this, making the egg have IN
older appearance and destroying its
keeping qualities, AZ this covering
makes the she'll impervious to air.
