Details of the Device.

and extends the length of the block
except one-half inch at each end. The
slot should be made with a small cir
cular saw.
Take a piece of window glass, six
by one, and put the browning side
next the block, and tie IL tightly with
linen thread around the glass and
block at each end past the slot in the
block. But before tying on the glass
measure very accurately the thickness
of the block near the thin end, and
make a mark across the block just
where it is twenty-five-one hundredths
inch thick, also make a mark across
it uear the thick end where it is
thirty-five-one hundredths inch thick;
now divide the space between these
marks into ten equal spaces, making
marks across the block with the point
of knife. Number the marks with a
lead pencil from 20 to 35, then tie the
glass on over the marks and figures
as described. Now put it in a vessel
with some beeswaX and set it on the
stove and melt the wax, and let II
SOdh lulO IIl6 WOOu 10 minutes Ut 30.
After you have drained the wax out of
the groove, scrape the remaining wax
out of it with stick and it is ready
for use.
To use it, fill the groove with
honey; place it on the flight-board of
a hive whose bees tongues you wish
to measure (there should be but little
or no honey coming in at the time).
The bees will eat the honey out of the
groove as far as they can reach. in
half an hour or so. You can then
take the instrument, and, by looking
at the glass side, you can see how far
the bees have licked the honey off the
glass, and the mark at this point will
indicate the length of the tongue in
one hundredths of an inch.
OF course, the bees jaws will go
into the groove some distance, l think
about nine-one hundredths inch; but
you can get the relative length of the
tongues, which is good enough for
practical purposes.

ROUGHLY Handled Hens.

II has been our experience that
hens that have been roughly handled
are of little value for laying purposes.
The writer has more than once pur-
chased on South Water street, Chi
cago, hens that seemed to be in good
shape for laying. Yet these hens
would not lay till months after and
some of them seemed to have aban-
doned the laying business altogether.
The nervous system of the hen seems
to be very delicate, and the kind Of
shaking up they get in the great mar
kets often destroys their usefulness
for future laying. On the farm rough
handling may have the same effect.
but we are unable to SO readily do
tect its results.

POULTRY ON THE FARM.
They Should Be Considered Part Of
Mor sy-Making Equipment.

The farmer that looks upon poultry
in the same light as he looks upon
any other part of his farm equipment
is in a good way to make money out
of his birds, declares the Farmers
Review. 1t is unusual. However, to
find a farmer that will not neglect
his poultry in preference to anything
can most easily make money for her
owner, as it does not require a large
average production of eggs to net her
owner at least one dollar profit dur.
ing the year Under existing prices
this will be done, IL the average pro-
duction is about 100 eggs, which is
q low average on which to figure.
Where the fowls are kept properly
and properly weeded out, so that the
old hens do not become the major por-
ton of the flock, the average produc-
ton of eggs can easily be made 1876
These figures sound small, for many
claim averages of from $50 to 200 per
year per hen, but we do not believe
that these are fair averages. The
average for the farm flock is much
lower than the average for carefully
handled fiocks, on which most of such
figures are based. 1t is true, however,
that IL old birds are excluded it is
common to get about 125 eggs per
fowl. The extra 25 eggs per fowl are
all profit They do not count very
much on one fowl, but on the en-
tire flock they make a good showing,
as the money they represent may be
added to the profit figured on the
100 eggs.

THE HENNERY.

Hustling hens are the ones to lay
eggs for Matching business birds.
Luck has never yet and never will
glut the poultry market with first
class eggs OF fowls.
Any old hen can lay in the spring,
but for winter business when eggs are
high II takes the hen planned for in
advance to do the trick. Now is the
time to plan hens for next year

Civil Service Examination.

In the general competitive
examination held throughout the
state on January 9ta, 4 sufficient
number of applicants applied for
positions as clerks, bookkeepers
and factory inspectors to justify
the belief that it will not be
necessary to hold another ex-
animation for these positions for
some time. 1t is probable that
another competitive examination
for the above position may not
be held during the next twelve
months.
The number of applicants in
some counties for the position of
game warden wasinsufficient and
within the next two months
another examination may be held
for certain counties.
The demand for attendance in
hospitals for the insane and
feeble minded is such as to
justify the belief that it will be
necessary to hold another eX-
animation soon. Requests are
being received by the Civil Ser
vice Commission from authorities
in control Of county asyluths for
names of suitable applicants.
Thus far the Commission has
received an insufficient number
of applications for positions as

dren at Sparta, School for the
Blind at GAINESVILLE, State Re-
formatory, and in the institutions

MAN AND MONEY.

The change That Often Comes With
the AcauISition of wealth.
The trans forming power OF money
the moment it gets into a mans pos
session is one of the unsolved mys-
teries of the universe. OF course we
know that the poison Of avarice and
greed is in the character and not in
the money, but it Is unfortunate that
the possession of money seems to de-
velop. to bring out. some of the worst
human qualities, qualities which never
develop in poverty or show themselves
under ordinary circumstances
Before we get possession of money
we feel sure that we will not allow It
to warp and twist our IDEALS We are
going to show the world sane use Of
money. We are going to help every
body. We are going to help struggling
merit. assist poor boys and girls to get
an education and to get start in the
world. We are going to be helpful and
useful in the largest possible way.
But it Is a strange trait in, human
nature that, no matter how humble or
democratic or helpful and companion
able people may be while poor, just as
soon as the average man gets more
than his fellows he begins to domineer
over them and to use the very wealth
which he was so anxious to get to en-
able him to help his fellow men to
Cypress and keep them down.-O. s.
