board up in the reception apartment to

board. This elevator board is always
down when the entrance door is open

is closed. When the hen has laid and
is ready to come off she sees the
screened opening above the entrance
door as the only place Of eXit-in fact,

board to come out at screened opening,

If SUGAR BoiIs Too Long.

Boiling sugar or water for ices or
icing is a somewhat ticklish operation,
as every cook knows. If cooked too
much 1t will be sugary and If not
enough it will run.
The latter fault a be remedied by
returning to the stove for a few min
utes.
When the boiling has gone beyond
the desired degree the consistency can
be reduced by adding a few table
spoonfuls of cold water and boiling
again.
If the sugar has been burned the
taste will remain, even though sugar
ing has been prevented.
Never stir sugar and water while
boiling if you do not want it to granu-
late. Watch it carefully and take it off
at the critical moment. which in most
cases must be decided by experience.

TRAP NESTS FOR HENS.
Clever Continuance Which Gives the
Layers Privacy.

Clever Continuance Which Gives the
Layers Privacy.
The trap nets described in this arti-
Gle are self regulating. When once set
they require no more attention through
the day. The hen when she wants to
lay enters nest at the lower opening.
The door closes automatically behind
the hen, which prevents any other hen
or anything else from bothering her
while on the nest.
There is a partition about eight
inches high which divides the interior
into two equal apartments. The hen
on entering the box, or reception
apartment, the first time in search Of
a nest is as sure to want to see what
is over behind the partition as daylight
and dark come. In fact, she Is hunt
ing a place of Seclusion and a little
darkness. On seeing the nest over be
hind the partition she jumps upon the
partition board to get over in the nest,

holds the shutters in place above the

TRAP NEsT-ENTRANCE CLOSED.

Used as a trap nest, it is like the night

who looks after the eggs to b. on time
or the hen will lay and be gone with

1t is Interesting to see how hens
take to the nest. Those outside see the
hen on through the screened opening
and will stand around, sometimes
three and four at a time, waiting to
gain a~dmittance, not offering to find a
nest elsewhere. The box seems to offer
just that seclusion and protection that
suit their fancy.
