One Way of Breaking Up a Setting
Han

A writer in Rural World says: To
break a hen from setting. take a steel
trap, wrap piece of thin cloth around
each jaw of the trap, set it and place
it in the nest, and when you hear the
hen squalling, loose her out of the trap
and set it again in the nest, never
knew but one hen TO try the tray the
second time. II you have trap
strong enough TO hold a hog or dog

upon the coal trade here.
"The Norfolk &c Western Railway
Company discontinued its barge SER
vice several years ago and Norfolk
does not seem to have suffered any
bad effects from that action. The on.
ly time when barge Is needed at
this port Is WIN warship comes
here for coal or when a steamer that
bunkers through side ports stops for
fuel. The total amount of coal load
ed on such vessels would not exceed
10000 annually" continued the agent.
The government has furnished
barges at Norfolk for barsing coal
from the piers to the warships and
