UTILITY OF THE
TRAP NEST
a. POULTRY Expert, Maine Agr2'
cultural College.

The trap nest in use at the Maine
Experiment Station is boX-like struc-
ture. without front end or cover,
twenty-eight inches long, thirteen in
ches wide and sixteen inches deep, in
side measure.
A division board with a circular
opening seven and one-half inches in
diameter is placed across the box,
twelve inches from the front end The
rear section is the nest proper. Instead
Of q close-made door at the entrance,
light frame of 1x11a-inch stuff is
covered with wire netting of one-inch
mesh. The door is ten inches wide
by ten inches high, and does not fill
the entire entrance, space of two in
ches being left at the bottom and one
inch at the top, with a good margin
at each side to avoid friction. 1t is
hinged at the top and opens up in the
box. The hinges are placed on the
front of the door rather than at the
center or rear, the better to secure
complete closing action. The trap con-
sists of one piece of stiff wire about
three-sixteenths of an inch in diam
eter and twenty-five inches long. This
niece of wire is shaped so that a
section of it. eleven inches long, rests
directly across the circular opening
in the division board and is held in
place by two clamps, one on either
side of the circular opening. The
clamps fit closely, and the slots are
long enough to allow the wire to work
I'D and down about three inches, with
out friction. The next section of wire
is eight inches long, and is bent so
that it is at right angles with the
eleven-inch section. 1t passes along
the side of the box eleven inches
above the floor back toward the en-
| trance door, and is fastened strongly
to the wall by staples, but yet loosely
enough so that the wire can roll east
| ly. The remaining section Of the wire,
which is three inches long, is bent to-
ward the center of the box, with an
upward inclination, so that 1t supports
| the door when it is open and rests up
on it. The end of the wire is turned
over smoothly, forming a notch into
which the door may slip when opened.
| AS the hen passes under the door
and then through the circular open
ing to the nest, she raises herself so
that her keel may pass over the lower
part of the division board, and her
back presses against the horizontal
wire, as she passes it, and lifts it
enough, so that the end supporting the
door slides from under it, and the
door swings down and passes wire
spring near the bottom Of the box at
the entrance, which locks it and pre-
vents the hen from escaping and 9TH
ers from entering.
| 1t is we'll worth while to bear in
mind what the trap nest really does

THE LAST TOUCHES TO
THE CROP OF CELERY


Banking celery with earth is the
only practical means of blanching it
on a large scale, in localities where
lumber is too expensive. AS rule.
this method will give the best results
in home garden culture. At the north,
banking with earth is especially desir-
able for the handling of that portion
of the crop which cannot be marketed
before the first severe frosts In case
of freeze, the boards offer but slight
protection, while the celery that has
the earth we'll drawn up to it's tops
will not be injured by a temperature
three or four degrees below freezing,
if only for short period. Celery that
is banked with earth will invariably
possess a better flavor than that
blanched in any other manner. Where
the plants are set in single rows the
soil can often be partially thrown up
by means of a plow, or by celery
hitler. as shown in the accompanying
cut.
There are several makes of celery
hitler, but they all work upon the
same principle of diagonally set sur
face to throw up the soil. Before the
plow or banking machine is used
small amount of soil must be placed

inside end of the string being deliv-
cred through hole in the bottom OF
the can, from which it passes between
the thumb and finger and around the
plants Paper Irvine will go to pieces
as soon as it becomes thoroughly
moistened, and offers no resistance to
the growth of the celery, but merely
holds the stalks together.
Another method for holding the Gel,
cry in position for banking with earth
is by setting up boards along the row,
as for blanching with boards, then
after the earth has been thrown up
against the boards they are lifted out
and removed. Where celery planted
in solid beds is banked with earth, the
entire amount, of soil required must
be shoveled in by hand, but the work
is greatly facilitated by tying the
plants or by setting boards temporari-
ly between the rows and then remov-
ing them after the earth has been
thrown in.
Where it is desirable to hold a por-
ton of the field crop of celery for late
autumn marketing, this may be &C
complished by lifting the punches,
with a portion of their roots attached,
and placing them quite close together

FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Terrible itching Prevented Sleep
Hands, Arms and Legs Affected
-Cuticura Cured in Days.

81 had eczema nearly fifteen years.
The affected parts were my hands,
arms and legs. They were the worst
in the winter time, and were always
itchy, and I could not keep from
scratching them. 1 had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time, and at
night I would have to scratch through
the bandages as the itching was so
severe, and at times l would have to
tear everything off my hands to scratch
the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I
had several physicians treat me but
they could not give me permanent
cure nor even could they stop the itch
ing. After using the Cuticura Soap,
one box of Cuticura Ointment and two
bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about
six days the itching had ceased, and
now the sores have disappeared, and |
never felt better in my life than do
now. Edward Worell, Band Both U. S.

row, and either clean out or break any
Jumps that may remain in the burrows.
BY another method, two lines of r.
inch boards are set on edge, Is inches
apart, and held in place by stakes. In
either case, the celery is brought from
both sides and packed in the trench
or inclosure made by the boards, and
the earth thrown well up around it.
The boards may be removed and used
in another place, but it is rather more
desirable to have them remain until
the celery is required for marketing.
A covering material of some kind
should be provided and this kept
alongside of the trenches ready for
immediate use in case of severe frost
or slight freezing. AS a rule, storing
celery by trenching is practiced where
it is desirable to hold it for short
period only, though with proper COW
ering it may be kept in this manner
for several weeks.
