Making a Brooder at Home.


Here are the plans for a brooder
that can be easily made by anyone:
Make box feet inches by 3 feet
8 inches and = feet high, using 2x2-
inch pieces for corner posts, and
matched boards for siding. Inside nail
strips around II inches from bottom
to support the floor, which should be
made of matched lumber and left so
1t could be taken out and cleaned.
Make door in end level with floor, also
glass IN upper half of each side for
light. Top made to slant both ways
and about half of each side hinged on
so as to make feeding and cleaning
easy. Place large piece of sheet iron
on underside of floor with half-inch
strips between floor and iron. Cut door
in lower part Of end place good metal
bowl lamp under sheet iron; bore sew
eral holes in floor over lamp, putting
tin can punched full of holes over this
to keep out dirt. Place thermometer
on inside and you will have brooder
which will give the best of satisfac-
ton.

Egg Pointers.

A stale egg will sink in water.
Stale eggs are CLASSY and smooth of
shell.
A fresh egg has limelike surface to
its shell.
The boiled eggs which adhere to the
shell are fresh laid.
Eggs packed in bran for long time
smell and taste musty.
Thin shells are caused by a lack of
gravel and lime among the hens laying
eggs.
After an egg has been laid a day
or more the shell comes off easily when
boiled.
A boiled egg which Is done will dry
quickly on the shell when taken from
the kettle.
Eggs which have been packed in
lime look stained and show the action
Of the lime on the surface.
If an egg is clean and golden in ap-
pearance when held to the light it Is
good; If dark or spotted, it Is bad

ORIGIN OF THE HALO.

were erected around the outside OF the
sacred edifices statues of the saints,

buildings perceived the droppings Of
birds and the discoloration from the

the images. Accordingly they placed
over the tops of them fiat wooden discs
Of sufficient size to protect the statues,

began to paint holy pictures when a
mere country boy, and his ignorance
assumed the protecting disc as an es-
sential part of the saint. Hence his
earliest paintings represent each sacred
figure topped Off with what looks much
like the bottom of a barrel. Latterly
he idealized this into a circle, dark at
first but growing more luminous with
each successive production Of his ar
