FANCY NESTS IN POULTRY
HOUSES

One Of the troubles OF the men who ust
automatic nest boxes Is due to the fact
that most contrivances OF this nature are
inclined TO give the hens a fright. A hen
Ia an odd creature and anything that
drops, flaps, Tits or is a little out of the
ordinary frightens her. The writer has
recently come sinto possession of a small
farm which was owned by a city man who
had great ideas OF having things built on
ornate plans and always different from
any other plans every dreamed of. His
nest boxes were arranged so that the hens
walked up a short flight Of stairs and into
a box 80 arranged that II could be opened
from the outside Of the house for convcn-
fence in gathering the eggs. Our hens re-
fused 20 use these boxes as soon as they
found they could be opened from the out
side. A few fright and they began TO lay
the eggs ON the floor. 1t was a long time
after the outside opening was nailed fast
before the hens could be induced TO use
the boxes again and in the meantime we
restorted to the old plan Of a barrel with
straw in the back end. 1t was stake
down so II would not roll and ii board fast
cned over the front so that the hens had
to squeeze past Il to get in. They would
peep into the barrel. notice At was dark,
see the layer of straw and with a cluck
OF satisfaction squeeze in and lay the egg.
A simple nest. not too roomy, we'll filled
with clean straw or hay and placed whore

CHANGING CROPS TO MEET CON.
DiTlONS.

Whom the prices for farm commodities
fall materially there Is always a feeling on
the part Of the grower that he should
change his crop TO something that brings a
higher market price; particularly does he
feel so II the prices are low for two sea-
sons In succession. In some localities po-
tatoes are selling, at this writing, for quite
n little less than they brought az harvest
time, Goodness knows the consumer Is
not buying them proportionately less. but
there IL d trade combination lowering the
prices which the producer and the con-
sumner cannot fight. 40 the potatoes have to
go for what they will bring. Within two
weeks not less than twenty potatoe grow

not grow potatoes another year. Yet these
men are all OF them expert potato grow
crs and only ordinary growers of other
farm cfops. Under suchZconditionx-it
would seem sensihie to continue tho grow
Ing sof potatoes and try to find some way
OF getting a better price for them. as for
example selling them at harvest time In
stead OF storing them. True, the same sea-
son OF low prices may again be repeated
but how much better of would the grower

which his soil was not particularly suited

LOCATING THE jNcuBAToRs.

KEEPING MILK RECORDS.

With feeding grains very high in price
one is tempted to feed more roughage and
less gram and unless there is a decided
falling OFF In the quantity of milk received
is apt to deceive himself with the idea
that ne Is saving money. IL Is a good plan
to try different combinations OF rations
and note results. TO try them without
keeping a record Of the milk. at least by
weight. Is of little use. Take a ration of
say gluten feed, wheat bran and oil meal.
Try these In varying proportions of each,
keeping the record carefully, and thus de-
terminc which is the most profitable. The
same plan may be readily carried out
with any other combinations Of grains.
Then, too, experiment with the roughagc
as with tho grains and see what differ

corn slower Is cut or crushed before feed

BELATED CHEAP GAS CRY.

Murphy Remarks.

Charles F Murphy said last night that
Tammany Hall was quite prepared TO make
an issue of the gas question with the Repub-
icans in the coming campaign if the Re
pubhcans sought 20 make political capital
out Of cheap gas cry. The Republicans,
he said. were trying 70 steal credit which
did not belong to them in promising at this
time to have passed a bill cheapening the
price Of gas.
Il notice that the Republican leaders
Mr.. Murphy said, ARE talking about passing
an so cent gas bill. Why do they fix the
price at 80 ceuts. Ia il because Tammany
has for several years been trying 70 get
rs cent gas bill through the Legislature.
but has never succeeded because the he
publican majority has killed the bill every
timer Again, this year Senator Fitzgerald
has introduced another 10 cent pill and
I imagine that the Republicans have put
their price at so cent? so that they won
feel obliged to support Mr. Fitzgerald's
measure.
in their professed desire 20 give cheaper
lighting TO this city they can have an op.
nortunity to prove it by supporting Mayor
McClellan's bill for the establishment OF
municipal electric lighting plant. don't
believe that the majority in the Deglsla-
ture vii! vote for the measure but can
tell the Republicans now that Tammany
will have a municipal nghtlng pahh IN lts

the strong box with S2S5 coo in securities

the detectives to obtain information from
the person who had the last known glimpse
OF the box.
All day on Saturday and yesterday the
detectives endeavored TO get from this
person something definite about the day
and circumstance under which the box
was seen. But the memory Of this witness
is cloudy and the detectives to-day say
they have proceeded no further than the
fact that the box was in Mr., Cheney's house
on Jan. II. How long after that day it
remained there they are unable to tell.
It had been supposed that II this witness
were led over the story several times she
would remember. perhaps, an incident
that might furnish key TO the puzzle,
Detectives and Mr.. Cheney's attorney
have questioned her time and time again
and she reiterated her meagre statement
without revealing one thing Of assistance
to the searchers. To-day the efforts Of
the detsctiyes and Of Mrs. Cheney we're still
concentrated upon Mr.. Cheney's home
for there is no trace Of the box leading
away from the house.
