Convenient Hen House Door.

1t is frequently desired to allow
ventilation through the henhouse with
out opening the doors so that the fowls
may get out. An arrangement which
makes this possible is shown in the
cut, consisting of an opening in the
upper half of the door, inside of which
a screen is placed. This allows ven
tilation in the henhouse without draft
upon the birds. Ordinary poultry
netting may be used in the opening,
with a tight boarded shutter to be
closed in stormy weather and at night.
Thorough ventilation of the henhouse
is very essential, since hens need fresh
air quite as badly as they need fresh
water, and modern henhouses are being

MARKING OUR BOUNDARIES.
Iron Pillars, Granite Shafts and
Earth Mounds in Wilderness.


Iron Pillars, Granite Shafts and
Earth Mounds in Wilderness.
Nearly all the boundaries of the Uni
ted States are formed by the easy, ir-
regular lines Of waterways. The arti-
ficial marking Of a country the size of
this would seem a gigantic task, and
fortunately it was not necessary all the
way around.
Along the northwestern border, how
ever, there is a vast distance where
something Of the sort was required, al
though it is doubtful If many persons
have ever heard of it.
glance at the map of the United
States shows that its boundary adjoin-
ing Canada follows, the larger part Of
the distance, an irregular water-line
formed by the Great Lakes and their
outlets.
Thence from the Lake of the Woods,
on the north of Minnesota, more di-
rect course is taken through the wilder
ness and over the mountains of the
wild West to the Pacific coast.
This boundary between the countries
Is marked at regular intervals by pill
lars Of wood and iron, earth mounds,
or stone cairns.
Beginning at the Lake Of the Woods,
cast Iron pillars have been placed al
ternately by the English and our gov
ernment, one mile apart, until reaching
the Red Valley River.
Those set by our neighbor were
brought from over the ocean, while
ours were made in Detroit. They are
hollow casting Of a pyramid form,
eight feet in height, having base eight
Inches square and octagon fiange one
Inch In thickness, with top four
inches square, surmounted by a solid
cap.
Into these hollow posts are fitted
well-seasoned cedar joists, with spikes
driven through apertures made for that
purpose In the casting. One-half Of the
length Of the pillars are firmly i'm
bedded In the ground, so that the in
scriptions on their sides, in raised let
ters two inches high, face the north
and south, the first reading, "Conven-
tion Of London" the latter October
Goth, 1915"
Beyond the Red River, earth mounds
and stone cairns, seven feet by eight
generally denote the boundary line
Whenever wooden posts are used, they
are Of the same height as the iron pill
lars and painted red above the ground
Through forests clearing has been
made rod wide, so that the course Is
plainly Indicated. Where bodies Of
water are crossed, monuments Of stone
have been raised several feet above
high tide.
Over the mountains, shafts of gran
lite, like grim sentinels, guard the way.
Altogether the fixing of the boundary
marks was expensive, but it was well
done.

The proper construction of the silo
is of the greatest Importance. If the
sides of the silo are not alright, too
much air is admitted and the silage
will spoil. If the walls are not per-
fectly rigid the presence Of the silage
will cause them to spring out, thus al
lowing air to enter between the silage
and the wall, and, again, the result Is
decayed silage.
Before building silo the most care
full attention should be given to loca-
tion, size, form and method of con-
struction. These will differ somewhat
according to locality and individual
needs.-Farming.

Mothers Day Celebration.

of December 27th in a very appropri-

A splendid banquet had been prepar-

Ursula Parlor No l, responded to the
toast. our mothers, as follows:

lives.
1t is doubtful if there has ever
been great man or woman, who was
not blessed with good mother. And
many wayward boy or girl who for
time had departed from virture' s
path (or had been soreIy tempt

or prevented, chiefly through the
irresistible influence of a godly

time never comes in mans life wien
he should cease to honor his mother,
and revere her cherished name. 1t
Is true there are mothers, who are
such only in name-those in whom
the maternal instinct seems almost if
not wholly absent. But these we are
not considering. Our mothers belong
not to that category. Our mothers !;
we remember with gratitude, your self
sacrificing labors, your kindly
counsel, your active sympathy. We
honor you for what you have done
for US, for what you have been to US,
and for what you are. May we have
the sweet benediction of your pre-
sence for many years to come.
Appropriate souveners we're distrI-

themselves as having spent a most
enjoyable evening, hoping these same
mothers will be able to meet with us
again one year hence.
