may be placed in a building or yard
away from the laying hens when
used for sitting hensl and they can
be removed once day for feed and
water. When they return 10 the nest
they shut themselves in and the other
hens out SO they cannot crowd on
and break the eggs.
The trap nest is a simple contriy-
ance by which the door is set on a
trigger which is sprung by the hen
when she enters. The door closes
and she cannot leave the nest until
removed by hand.
A numbered band on each hens
leg enables the owner to tell exactly
what each hen is doing by writing her
number on the eggs in the trap nest

Feeding Horses With Cotton Seed
Meal and HILLS.

Columbia, S. c., Special-Experi-
ments IN every part Of the South
show that Cotton Seed Meal and
Hulls, when properly fed to horses
and mules makes the finest and cheap

Hammond Of Augusta, Ga, is writing
about feeding some of his after tell
ing about the time when his two colts
were born, he says:
At that time oats were about
$4,000 per ton, and corn about $4,000.
| began feeding my mares on these ex-
penslve grains, ground with a little
cottonseed meal busted in. They took
to 1T all right, and before the colts
were six weeks old they were nibbline
at their mothers feed. Since more
colts have come. The oldest are now
five years old, and none of them have
ever passed day in their lives with
out eating some cottonseed meal
They have never been out of fix. The
older ones weigh 1,100 pounds and
are 16 hands alphabetically larger
than dams or sire. They have carried
me so miles day without breathing
deep. Here is a clean-cut, decisive,
example of cottonseed meal as a com.
ponent part of a horses ration. j
will simply add to the above testi-
mony that for the past five years my

The excitement and interest in the Plant Juice remedies is on the increase and Judging by the immense crowds which attended the demonstrations last night, 1t Is safe to say that there must be some unusual virtue in the stuff which Is sold like hot cakes.
 The most convincing part of 1t is that there Is no hesitancy on the part of many benefited to give their testimony and while some have a delicacy in seeing their names in print, they are cheerfully given for reference. One prominent man ager Of foundry spoke In glowing terms of Plant Juice. saying that his rheuma- tism, which had prevented his putting on his coat, was entirely relieved and that so far as he could tell he was entirely cured. His name will be furnished on request
 At Avondale Colonel Dillingham; is also attracting great crowds and Is advertis- ing his remedies at that place by re- quest. Several people of that town have been to Birmingham and tried the med icine, and with such results that Colonel Dillingham; was asked to go there and give demonstrations. As a general rule, the colonel does not give demonstrations at cities less than 25, 900, but in view of the splendid results which 1t is claimed has been gotten among the Avondale peo- pie Dillingham; Is there near the Martin Drug Co.'S store, who are handling the remedies.
 Tn speaking of his work last night the colonel said that when he came to Birmingham he had no idea of the null titude who would be attracted by his demonstrations and says that judging by the crowds which surround his different platforms every night. that one would estimate Birmingham as city of quar- ter of a million.
 An unusually interesting lecture Is to be given tonight in which the cause of disease and Its prevention will be given.

POPULAR IN TUSCALOOSA

Tuscaloosa, June 25.-(Special.) .)-Dr. Giles, the successful president of the Ala bama Female college here, has recent ly received two calls to the presldencies from institutions out of the state It is not astonishing to citizens of Tuscaloosa that the high grade work of Dr. Giles has attracted attention in other fields, and resulted in efforts to secure his ser vices.
 However, 1t is hoped by the citizens here that he will not be influenced by these calls. Last year this college brought to the town In cash at least $S5,OOO, an advantage that would not fail to elicit all kinds of encouragement in the case .of any commercial enterprise. In addition Ao this every college, and especially this one, Is the source of infinite social gain to a community and every effort to help and hold one Is an effort for the well being of its vicinity. Under the pres ent flattering conditions in which the college finds itself, 1t Is doubtful that pr. Giles will seriously entertain an in- vitaton to leave Tuscaloosa.

Pickens McGraw, a negro employe at the Ice and light plant here, dropped dead while at his work Saturday night. It seems that Pickens had been engaged in some hard work and had become very much overloaded While In this condi- tion he drank quite good deal of cold water, and had only taken about ten steps when he fell dead. Congestion, caused by the cold water is thought to have caused his death.
