A Good Chicken House.

We built a chicken house last spring
Ike this one and find it gives entire sat-
isfaction. Size ten by sixteen by
eight feet high, from sill to caves. We
have a window in each side and back
end and door in front. Now for the
roosts. Take a two by four scantling
and spike it above n of the side win
dows, then take some boards and make
a trough about fourteen feet long and
let two feet project out at the back end
Of the building; put trough two feet
above the floor. Now take matched
lumber or some that will fit up close
and nail one end to the trough and the
other end to the two by four gcantling
and make it full length of trough. then
take boards that will reach from
trough to the two by four and cut
notches in them for the roosts to Law
in and put upper end on hinges. Wbxl
you want to clean the house, rake tie
droppings down into the trough and
then rake them out the back end into
a box or something that can be hauled
away. The roosts will be high enough

Ringworm in Calves.

This troublesome difficulty is appar-
ent during the winter more than at
any other time, and is due to a vege-
table parasite. 1t is not a dangerous
disease, but is far from pleasant, and
as it is contagious, considerable effort
should be made to overcome it. 1t
usually appears on the neck of the an
imals. working toward the face, and
soon leaving bare spots. If the trouble
is noted On the calves, treat them at
once by taking n part of carbolic
acid, four parts Of glycerin and six
parts of olive oil and mixing thorough
ly. Rub thoroughly into the skin
about the parts infested after first
washing the parts thoroughly with
warm water made soapy with carbolic
soap. Other animals in the barn. es-
pecially calves, should also be washed
with the mixture to prevent contagion.
Wash every other day for ten days.

you KNOW HIM.

You doubtless know the fellow; he
Is what you'd call a social pest;
He spoils the universal glee
And ~nullifes the universal jest.
Whatever story you relate
And you may have an ample store
He smiles and says: eyes, that's first rate,
But then I've heard that tale BEFORE"
In some appreciative crowd
You essay your best bon mot; \
You deem the laughter will be loud,
You're confident that it will go.
Then speaks that fend in human shape:
"You needn't tell us any more.
It's quite a venerable jape;
We've often heard the thing before"
He finishes himself sometimes,
And yanks the laurels from ones brow.
Men have been killed for lesser crimes
I'd like to kill him, anyhow.
It may sound sanguinary, still,
I've suffered till I'm pretty sore,
He'll get it some day, surely, will
That man who's heard my jokes before.

Deafened by an Exploding Egg.

Charles Newman, a farmer. living
near Vineland, was examining the eggs
under n of his setting hens, to see
how many contained chicks. His ex-
animation proved satisfactory, and he
was shaking the final egg, when with
a loud report it exploded through a
small hole at one end. The contents
of the egg struck Newman squarely in
the ear, and, wild with pain. the farm.
er was compelled to consult a physi

ear had been broken.

1t is claimed that mutton at i've
cents a pound will pay better than
wool at thirty-five cents. Such claim
depends upon conditions. A good meri-
no will pay more in wool than can be
derived from common sheep, while a
breed of mutton sheep will give a
greater profit than can be derived from
sheep that are not bred with an object
to be attained. Farmers who keep
sheep also make a profit in the ma
nure and in the utilization of the waste
materials consumed, but sheep require
feeding as we'll as other stock, and
should not be expected to seek their
food entirely at any season Of the
year.

General Weston, chief of the Subsistence
Department of the United States Army,
believes that he has found out the secret
of the wonderful mobility of the japanese
Army. He has received at Washington
from one of the American military observ.
ers in the Far East a piece of fish, dried
until it resembles petritied wood, and
weighs twelve ounces. He is informed that
on this a japanese soldier can live for
seven days, and that the, weight of a
Japanese field ration for a month is less
thar the weight of one days ration foI
an American soldier. On the march the
Japs eat the fish as it is, but in camp they
cook it with dried rice. They can easily
do without commissaFy trains, which are
indispensable to other armies

The Mandate of the King.

Here stands the mandate of the King,

we serve reminds us of His claims upon
us. Eye are My disciples" He knows

Even so has 1T been from the beginning.
Twelve men, jews all of them, blinded
by the prejudice and hampered by the
limitations of their race; men chosen
from the common people; unlearned, duh
of understanding, most of them; all Of

twelve men are the chosen founders Of
His church. lie sends them forth to

what-"Go We, preach the gospel" And
this Is all we have to give! How often
must this question have been asked from
the day of the Ascension to the day Of
st. John in Ephesus? He would remem-
Der how, beginning at Jerusalem, they
went forth, he and the others, north,
south, east, west, telling the single story
of how Jesus lived, died and rose again,
and assembled up on high and e n down

at Pentecost-telling this simple story
and bearing the Sacrament of the dear
love of Jesus, the bread and wine to
be received in remembrance of Him.

Bachelor Ends His Life.

The body of Benjamin Bennett, a
bachelor farmer, fifty-five years old
was found hanging from a beam in
his house at Hamilton, where for
many years lie had lived alone. He
was morose and melancholy and la.
bored under the delusion that he was
afflicted with cancer. About six years
ago Bennett was disappointed in a
love affair. He was a changed man
afterwards and developed a dislike
for busy communities.

Alfalfa For Hogs.

Wallaces' Farmer says alfalfa nay.
when fed to brood sows in winter
should be cut fine and fed with a little
meal. For two years now we have
wintered our brood sows on plain al
falfa hay without cutting, and they
eat it up clean. Not a spoonful Of
grain is given them until they farrow.
The effect of alfalfa is seen in the
splendid quality of the pigs produced
and the abundant yield of milk by
the sows.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Friends Make Up an Agents doss.

Recently Myron G. Kelsey. ticket
agent of the Lackawanna at Brick
Church Station, lost nearly $1,000 of
the company's money while going te
the bank to deposit it. As soon as
the townspeople heard of the loss, they
quietly got together and made the
amount good. Mr.. Kelsey's first knowl-
edge of the generous act was when
Superintendent Ketcham sent for him
and told him what had been done, in
addition to the information that he
would be retained in his position.

Poultry Versus waste.

There is one economic merit in poul.
try keeping that many farmers do
not take into consideration, and that
is the large amount of waste grain
that they pick up and convert into
meat and eggs that would otherwise
be wasted, says an exchange. 1t does
not cost much to keep fowls on a
farm, and no class of people can pro.
duce eggs and fowl flesh as cheaply
as the farmer.
