MOVABLE WIRE COOPS FOR
THE GROWING CHICKENS


The type OF coop shown will some
times prove valuable for housing
growing stock. By its use many of
the advantages of free range can be
secured in localities where the area
is insufficient to permit such range.
The usual practice is to place these
coops on grass land and one or more
times daily to move them their length
or width SO that the fowls may have
a fresh supply of green feed and un-
soiled ground. OF course any given
area can be fed over in this way sew
eral times during a season. The coops
are light and very readily moved.
Dragging would be made easier by
shaping the lower edges of the ends of
the bottom scantling of the frame like
a sled runner. The coop can be still
further improved.

AGATHA THIRD.

she desired, but with the distinct un-
orable Agatha Wyckhoff. In that case
Mrs. Armistead was to secure another
Agatha, and the girl who desired to
marry was to receive a dowry amount
ing to the full sum of the monthly
stipends which she would have re-
ceived had she remained at the castle
for the entire two years. The same
provision for her companions was
made in the event of the real Agatha's
marriage before the expiration of the
time. If any young man proposed to
the real Agatha, ignorant of her
identity, and she accepted him, she
was directed by the will to produce
and wear upon the third finger of her
left hand the betrothal ring of her
mothers family. gold ring set with
big cross of emeralds. as proof of her
identity as the real Agatha. Mrs.
Armistead and all the girls were to be
bound by oath not to reveal the identi.
ty OF the real Agatha. and each of the
latter was to be likewise addressed as
the Honorable Agatha Wyckhoff," by
suitors and servants, in order to pre-
serve the secret. This condition could
be carried out without fear of recogni-
tion by the servants. as the real
Agatha had not been in England since
her early childhood. Thus her identi-
ty could be easily concealed, and. by
this means, If any proposal of mar.
riage were made to her it would be
from a man whose motives were not
mercenary. but purely those OF natural
affection, which was the stepfather's
object in making the will.
The will closed with the appoint.
lnent of executors and trustees and
then came the witnesses, the date, and
the place of residence.
"Then we can stay In thus bully old
place for six weeks" said Vincent
"Hooray." He's such kid!
The secretary smiled at his enthus
iasm, and Vincent must have thought
her smile very attractive, because he
drew aside and began to talk to her
in low tones. while discussed the will
with Mrs. Armistead. who seemed per
fectly willing to impart whatever in
formation we desired. II was just like
Vincent to begin Irritation with the
secretary. just as II there were not
six handsome girls Of his own station
in the castle. Bus anything feminine
will do for him as long as she has q
sweet smile or soulful eyes. or some
other equally trivial attraction. He'd

Useful Medicine Bottle

In Europe there is in common use
medicine bottle with glass stopper.
which has a tiny groove running down
one side of it, which corresponds to a
tiny groove in the neck of the bottle.
These are used for medicines that
must be dropped. such as nux vomica
and strychnine, and, when the stopper
is turned with the groove toward that
in the bottle. the medicine drops out
easily and not too rapidly, but, when
finished, the stopper need only be
turned back so that the two grooves
do not coincide. and the medicine is
protected from the air.
Thus it is not necessary to remove
the stopper from the bottle from the
time it is filled until the medicine has
all been used.

WOOD PRODUCTION
in GERMANY

Among all the nations of the world
Germany receives the credit of being
the most thoroughly scientific. She
does with her limited natural re-
sources what younger nations will
soon be compelled to do in self-protec-
ton: she conserves them.
When our wood supplies, stored up
from 100 to 500 years. are within sight
of their end, and sawmills that have
been moved from the white pine belt
Of the north to the yellow pine belt
Of the south have been moved to the
Pacific coast for their last stand. then
Germany's scientific forsestry policy
will receive better recognition.
We do not think Of moving grist
mill about. from one wheat field to an
other, as the fields in turn become ex-
hausted. After one crop is harvested
another is coming on. So 1t must be
with the sawmill and the crop Of trees.
II 1t takes so years to raise tree of a
given species, then one-fiftieth OF the
forest may be cut each year, provided
1t reseeds or is replanted-and the
sawmill stays at the same place and

used with satisfactory results for con-
fining laying hens during the summer.
The care Of the fowls will take rather
more time than in houses, but the use
Of the coop moved daily solves the
problem Of green feed; 1t makes 1t
possible to carry large number Of
fowls with many of the advantages
Of free range on limited areas and 1t

habitation) become broody less than
those in houses and may consequently
lay more eggs. An orange box be-
meath the roof with hinged gate in
front OF 1t for removal of the eggs af-
fords the needed nests. This can be
set on and fastened to the bottom
frame at one corner so that 1t moves
with the coop. Such coop will ac
commodate from ten to IL hens. AS
