If Kitty had thrown her matches
foot farther away they would have
fallen where she expected them to fall
into batch of cold, smothering sea

Kitty, though, was not thinking of
anything under the mill floor. but Of

Kitty, "for he didn't want to run in

POULTRY
Nests.


The arrangement of nests in the
poultry house will depend somewhat
on whether chicks are raised by hatch
ing in incubators or by the use OF
hens. If the hen is to be used for In
cubation it will prove more advan-
tageous to have the nests SO arranged
that when the brooding time comes
the same nests may be used both for
laying and sitting. This requires
much more attention in arrangement
than where the nests are made for
the reception of eggs only. In the
case of nests for both laying and IN
cnbation it is necessary to have quite
large number, as some of these Will
be needed for the sitting hens at q
time Of year when laying hens are
active in the production OF eggs. For
flock of fifty hens a dozen nests Will
be necessary. These should be made
SO that the hens can enter at the
front for the depositing of their eggs;
and there should be some kind of a
door at the rear from which the eggs
may be taken. When a hen has set
tied down on one of these nests to sit,
1t is only necessary to place the re-
quisite number of eggs under her,
and close the entrance at the front.
opening one at the back that Will per
init the hen to come of and feed at
will. Wire netting should prevent the
other hens from gstting back of the
egg nests. An improvement on this Is
to have small wire yard at the back
of each nest in which the hen may
exercise and dust herself when she
comes OF to get water and food. Most
people, however, do not have this lit
tie yard for each fowl that is sitting.
The only drawback is that one sitting
hen will sometimes go back onto the
nest of another.
Some will object to the above that
it is not necessary to have nests for
double purposes; that when a hen be
gins sitting she can be removed from
one nest to an incubating nest. But
the writer has found it quite difficult
to induce broody fowls to accept sit
ting of eggs in a new nest, and very
frequently the change results in the
fowl giving up the idea of sitting at
all. Sometimes, too, the broody fowl
has persisted in sitting, but elsewhere
than on the eggs in the new nest.
Nests for laying only should be
light, movable affairs, that can be de
stroyed if they become infested with
vermin, for frequently it will be found
easier to make new nests than to
cleanse those that have become filled
with mites and their eggs. The mere
busting of such nests with sulphur
and insect powders will frequently fail
to kill all the mites and their eggs
and new colonies will soon reappear
Cheap boxes or baskets may be used
and should be placed lower than the
roosts, SO the fowls will not persist
in sleeping on them. If this habit be
comes very pronounced, the nests may
be ranged together in a row and &
slanting board cover hinged to the
side of the house at night. This may
be shut down for a time each nigh
till the birds have fixed the habit o.
going onto their own roosts. Ths
litter best adapted for the filing O
nests is cut straw or hay, and sthii
should be frequently renewed and
burned whether any mites are foune
| in it OF not. 1t is best to be on thu
safe side, and this material costs prac
tically nothing.

DEVICE TO AID ENGINEERS,

Signal Appliance to Prevent Disns-
ters Like Westfe!a Wreck.
A Brooklyn electrical engineer has
just patented a device that, it is as
serted, will make impossible such a
disaster as occurred recently at West
field, N. J., says the New York CORE
spondent of the Philadelphia Public
Ledger and Times. 1t is a signal APP
pliance that will work in connection
with the present semaphore system
and will display the signal on board
the locomotive Immediately before the
engineers eyes. SO that 1t cannot be
obscured in fog or darkness and if it
is a danger signal will put on the air
brakes and stop the train, even though
the engineer be dead in his cab.
The signal works in three ways at
the same time. It displays for dan.
ger signal a red light, blows whistle
and puts on the mir brakes stimuli
taneously. For a precautionary signal
1t simply puts on a green light in front
OF the engineers eyes. In order to
make the system doubly sure the sema-
phore lights now in use may be left on
the semaphores, so that there will be
signals on the cab and alongside the
track. "A large railway system is con-
sidering the adoption Of. the invention.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate
committee on finance has authorized
a favorable report on the bill recently

Fargo Water Supply Problem.

The proposition to issue bonds for
securing a water supply for Fargo
from some Of the Minnesota lakes will
probably fail. Legal authorities have
been investigating the situation and
find that the city is already bonded so
nearly to the limit that it cannot Gre
ate fund large enough for the pro-
posed water system without special
legislation, and there appears to be
much objection to that. The city's
water supply is no longer used for
drinking or culinary purposes among
those who can afford to purchase the
artesian water or that from the Min
nesota springs. i@

In the senate for an immediate settle.

now before congress are not particu-
larly bright. ,...,. - : .a's<.}
The Republican leaders have formu-
lated their compromise >0n the state
hood question and have determined to
stand or fall by it. Senator Quay. is
ready TO accept the two states and he
seems to believe that the compromise
can be put through, but his Demo.
cratic following is not in an amiable
frame Of mind and the prospect FOR
statehood legislation just now is far
from encouraging. T..
Different treaties now before the
senate are in bad tangle. On the sur
face the Republican opposition to the
Cuban reciprocity scheme has been
entirely wiped out, but as a matter Of
fact it is still there, although entirely
under cover. :;
The opposition to the Alaskan
boundary treaty is not at all vehement.
Senator Lodge, as the representative
of the administration, thinks the
treaty can be ratified. His belief
would be justified if there were time
enough left, but a handful Of North
western senators, with quite number
from the South and one or two from
the Mississippi valley, probably will
be strong enough to defer action, and
If they persist, prevent ratification.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
Senator Cullom has given the right OF
way to the Panama treaty. Senator
Morgan is still determined to fight
that measure and will carry out his
threats as far as his physical condi-
tion will permit. He is an accom-
plished long distance talker, but his
following is almost entirely personal,

Washington, Feb. IL. Having
reached an agreement with the British
government for settlement Of the
Venezuelan claims Mr.. Bowen is en-.
SdeavoriHg to close up the negotiations
with Germany and Italy. A misunder-
standing which has arisen in the Ger
man foreign office undoubtedly is at
the bottom OF the delay now. Evident
\ " Il was supposed there that the pre-
liminary articles OF the protocol as
prepared here before the advent OF
Baron Won Sternburg provided for the
prompt payment Of the full sum
claimed in the original ultimatum,
namely, $350.0OO, the only difference
between the first and last propositions
being that in place Of a clear cash
payment of the sum above named, as
required by the ultimatum, it would
require the immediate payment of
$27 500 for personal claims and then
provide for the application of so per
cent OF the custos...s revenues at Pu-
erto Cabello and La Guayra until the
remainder Of the $4,000 was paid.
Mr.. Bowen was unable to see any
difference between such a demand and
q straight demand for preferential
treatment, for, he argued. after pay
ing the allies on this basis there
would be nothing left for the other and
nontcoercing powers. It is believed
that he succeeded in impressing his
views upon the allied representatives
here. and it was understood that this
stage Of the negotiations had been
closed and the subject could not be
reopened. On this point the Berlin
foreign Office is supposed to have diff
fered. and so the exchanges going on
are directed to making the situation
clear TO that Office.
AT the German embassy no definite
sadvioes have yet been received re,
1 garding the question Of the advance
payment OF the $4,000 demanded of
Castro by Germany in the original ulti-
matnm. 1t is thought that when the
misund nderstanding is explained the OBJ
jectienabie article will be eliminated.
AS soon as Berlin indicates willing
ness to remove this obstacle the final
drafts of the German and Italian pro-
tocols will be made with all possible
dispatch. s. @
