body. 1t Is claimed that chickens
should have as much care as human
being to insure the best results, and
modern methods certainly tend in that
direction. The chicken coop shown here
Is good example. 1t is simple, eff
cient and durable As shown here 1t Is
rectangular In form, being made Of
sheet metal The top and sides are
bent to shape, with flanges at the bot
tom which connect with the flooring.
At each side are supports which hold
the coop slightly above the ground,
tending to keep the coop moisture
proof and preventing rain or other
water from entering. At each end are
perforated doors, which are very easi-
ly held in position. At the bottom Of
each door 10 an extension, through
which passes a rod, the latter extend
ing through the top Of the coop and
also into the ground, preventing the
coop from being displaced. In this way
the fowl are rendered safe against the
attacks Of animals.

Care of orchard. Paxs.

Fruit growers about Saugatuck,
Mich, have been busy trimming their
apple trees, says Country Gentleman.
Ten years ago they were thinking Of
cutting them down and setting out
peach trees. To-day every half-dead
tree is trimmed, and IL there Is not
enough manure, fertilizer is bought for
these half-dead trees. Six years ago
one Of Saugatuck's young farmers mar
ried Chicago girl who used to spend
her vacation there. She loved country
life, and was subscriber to agricul-
tural magazines. Her husbands or
chard was just like the rest, untrimmed
and had never been sprayed. She made
him buy manure, trim the trees, pillow
and spray. Two years ago he began
to hire his neighbor's orchards. Last
year he was the only one who had ap-
Piles to sell. and cleared $4,000.

Test of Dunnite sheIl.

A torpedo shell loaded with $50 pounds
Of dunnite was exploded at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds in the presence
Of members of the army board of ord
nance and fortifcation, with the result
that a steel caisson representing a sec.
ton of the underwater body of mod
ern battleship, was sunk. This test may
revolutionize naval construction, as rad
ical changes in the plans of battleships
will be necessary to enable them to with
stand the force of this new explosive.
The torpedo was placed at a depth of Is
feet distance from the caisson. 1t was
II inches In diameter and feet in length,
so hung that its nose pointed downward
at an angle Of As degrees, to simulate
the path of shell fired from the mouth
of a mortar or cannon.

The MASSACHUSETTS, State crop report
contains an article by Prof. h. 8. Cooley
on "Some Causes Affecting the Profits
Of Dairying." On the subject Of feed
ing dairy cattle the professor urges
that feeds be produced on the farm as
far a. possible. Usually the best prac-
tice Ii to purchase only feeds rich In
protein and raise the coarse folders
on the farm. Cows fed on starvation
rations yield no profit, and those over
fed with expensive feeds are also kept
at a loss. The point Of highest profit
In feed must be determined by expert
ment and calculation, and varies with
the locality and circumstances Of the
feeder.

Farmers and Poultry Fanciers.


The farmer has a real grievance
against the poultry fancier, in that he
has done all Of his crossing and In
breeding Of fathers, daughters, uncles
and aunts without any regard to prac-
teal utility, says Farming, whether the
hens from which he has been breeding
We're producing sixty eggs a year or
200 made no difference. His whole
aim has been to breed out a foul fight
feather OF two, or to create a better
comb, or eyes Of a better tint at a
sacrifice Of everything else. The result
Is that when farmer goes into the
market to buy thoroughbreds with his
money in his pocket ready and willing
to pay for the best stock, he not only
often pays for qualities he does
not need, but actually pays
premium for something that
has been obtained at sacrifice
of the very qualities which he does
need. There are few men, however,
raising thoroughbred stock that Is
bred to lay" or to meet certain market
demands, and those are the men that
should be patronized.

Wfndfall Apples.

What to do with the windfall apples
is problem that gives the owner of
every large orchard considerable con-
Germ as tho time for picking apples ap-
proaches. Where one Is provided with
an evaporator or Is so fixed that he
can convert this defective fruit into
vinegar, the problem is comparatively
simple. But where neither method of
disposing of this product Of the orchard
Is possible 1t is question what is the
best thing to do. An effective method
Of disposing Of such apples and one
which gives a certain return Is to turn
droves Of hogs or sheep into the Or
chard periodically and allow them to
clean them up. This not only disposes
of the apples, but the worms as well,
as such apples are usually wormy. In
any case 1t Is best to remove the wind
falls from beneath the trees, and II
they cannot be disposed of In any of
the methods suggested 1t is best to put
them on the pillow land with the manure
and turn them under.
