This town, formerly served by the
Methodist church, the Ellsworth pastor
visiting them, has been sadly neglected
for years. Coast Missionary Macdonald,
after calling on many Of the families and
learning the conditions Of affairs, feels that
il the Methodists are not able to care for
this field, the people ought to be en-
Outraged to unite with the Baptists Of
thier town, that pastor might be en-
pIoyed in the whole town. ut is q sad
condition of AFFAIRS" says Mr.. Macdonald,
"when the people OF q town are deprived
of proper pastoral oversight because they
are divided into two denominations. Over
twenty rode on a big team to attend the
services, and the people in both churches
seem united and anxious for someone to
preach to them"

HOW TO MAKE A TRAP NEST.
A Simple and Effective Device That
Can Be Made in an Hour.
Please give me plan for
building trap nests.
e. f. Med.
(Answer by Uncle Jo.)


A trap nest may be defined as fol-
lows: A box or casing adopted to
contain a hen nest of suitable ma
terial and fitted with trap device
which, while allowing one hen to
enter, will prevent her from leaving
the box, and will also prevent an
other hen from entering while the
box is occupied.
When properly designed and in
stalled, trap nests need some atten-
ton of an attendant. The birds must
be relieved and their numbers re-
corded. The layers are provided with
numbered leg bands, and by means
of these numbers each bord's record
is kept.
There are several patented nests
on the market. Following is a de-
scription of one used by a number
of good breeders that Is not patented.
They are cheap. accurate, not hard
TO make, and are as good as the
'.boughten" ones. 1t is box-like
structure without front end, or cover.
1t is % inches long, 13 inches wide
and 16 inches deep. inside measure
ments. A division board with cir
cular opening inches In diameter
is placed across the box, IL inches
from the back end and Is inches
from the front end. The lower edge
Of the 6-inch opening in the division
board comes down to within 4 inches
OF the floor of the box. The rear
section of the box Is the nest proper.
The double box with the nest In Its
rear is necessary. as when a hen has
laid and desires to leave the nest.
she steps out into the front space
and there remains. generally trying
to escape, until she is released. With
one section only she would be very
likely to crush her egg by stepping
upon it and learn the pernicious
habit Of egg-eating. The door Is
made OF "a inch pine board. II does
not fill the entire front by inches
