fected as to make the horse stiff in
his movements, and he becomes what
some unskilled horsemen call chest
foundered, or has a high sweeny, the
whole shoulder growing fiat at the
top of the shoulder blades. 1t is an
old saying, stiff as a pillow horse in
the morning" But the question is,
why should a horse be stiff in the
morning after doing a days blowing?
The answer is easy The old English
collar or any other collar constructed
on the plan of the English or hame
collar q care not whether it's made
of leather, canvas or steeD can't be
made to bring the pressure wholly on
the muscles that lie between the
point of the shoulder and the projec-
ton on the shoulder blade. (See Nos.
l, 2 and in illustration) and that is
the only point where pressure of the
collar can be made without inflicting
pain and injury. This space is on
horses as a rule only about eight
inches; thus 1t has been, all the years
that horses have been used in harness,
we have been infiicting pain to our
friend (the horse).

please. With a little experimenting
on your part you can bend the wire
Just at the right angle so that it will
work perfectly each time. The wire
arm over the opening should be
placed high enough so that the hen
will naturally want to pass under it
instead of trying to step over it.
The first compartment should be
from four to six inches longer than
the drop door is high, so the door will
not strike the hen on the back as it is
released.
Each hen should have an aluminium
or copper leg band on one Of her legs
with a number on it. Then as you
release the hen you can put the egg
down to her credit if she has laid
one In the nest. Sometimes the hens
will enter the nest from curiosity,
and especially is this true when the
system is first installed, but, after
they become used to it, they will sell
dom enter except to lay. To get the
hens acquainted with the nest the
door may be pTopped up for several
days.
The trap door is excellent for sit
ting hens-you can release the hen to
get her feed and trap the door, and
then after she goes back on the nest
she shuts the door after her and other
hens cannot enter to bother her or
break her eggs. You can easily catch
the hen that is an egg eater with the
trap nest, as some of the broken egg
will be found in the nest with her.
The other illustration above is a
double nest box for sitting hens. the
method of fastening the door is
shown by the L-shaped catch. You
will notice that the nest is made quite
deep, but does not have to be as long
as the trap nest.

WATCH YOUR TURKEY HENS
II Not Closely Guarded They Will In
VariabIy Steal Their Nests in
Out Of Way Places.
CBy r. B. RORERTsONO

Last spring one of my turkey hens
stole her nest under a pile of lumber
back of the barn Another chose the
straw stack, and a very tame one set
in a nest on the hsnhouse floor.
If yours elude you, look in out-of.
the-way places. Turkeys like old
boxes and barrels on their sides.
Last spring | had a turkey sitter
to occupy a sleigh box Anything is
better than tall weeds or grass, where
dogs and other enemies so easily get
them.
A coop with a wide roof that pre-
vents rain from beating in is valuable
for hens with young poults.
If the roof over the coops is not
good in severe storms the mother
will move about in the coop to get out
of the rain, the stupid little poults
will not follow. and soon will be wet,
chilled and ready TO die.
All coops should be on high ground
so as to be dry as possible. Young
turkeys are very tender and cannot
stand to be wet very much.
I have seen an ash heap or leach
work havoc among young turkeys
that were near II.

cessful along this line, as he has had
only a few hens and had more time
and cared more for his little flock.
The nest is made in two compart-
ments. The box proper is 10 inches
square by thirty-two to thirty-siX
inches long. The hole or opening be-
tween the compartments need not be
round as pictured unless you care to
make it so, but it should be just large
enough for a hen to pass through
easily. and no larger. The size of the
opening will depend upon whether
you are raising a large variety or a

bent in the shape indicated. and the

LIONS HEAD ALWAYS IN USE
From EirlIest Times II Has Been As
ISOLATED With Fountains and
Flowing Water.

'The sun CLOVIS in the Lion" says
Seneca. meaning that when the sun
enters the sign of Leo at the summer
solstice the highest temperature of
the year is experienced. We may say
on the other hand that the Babylonian
astrologers thousands of years ago
placed the king of beasts, the fiery
and ferocious lion, in that part OF the
zodiac which the sun enters at the
summer solstice.
The constellation which is called
Leo bears very little resemblance to
the outline of a lion. Probably the
name was originally applied only TO
It's principal star, Regulus. IL is TO
this constellation in the zodiac that
We owe the countless water spewing
lions heads which are found in an
Client and modern fountains, because
In the latter part of July, while the
sun is still in the sign Leo. the Nile
is at its highest level.
Furthermore, the lions head with
widely open Jaws is in itself very suit
able for the mouth of a fountain or
waterspout This decorative motif
was employed universally throughout
the Greco-Roman world. Lions heads
are found used in this way at Athens,
| Ephesus, Olympia, Agrigentum and
countless other places. It is not quite
certain that his employment of the
lions head originated in Egypt. Cur
thus describes an Assyrian bas-relief
from Barre a. howing water streaming
from n shaped vessel. A lion
stands as If on guard on either side
Of he fountain.
The water clock. which was used in
judicial proceedings had the form of
ion and a name which means the
~''ardian Of the stream. Hence the
idea of protection may have been the
origin of the association Of lions with
fountains, and this custom may have
or ginated in Asia.-Scientific Ameri-

A good 150-ton silo can be pur-
chased at a cost of 5000 to $500 ac-
cording to the material. A cover

much snow and the door must be air
tight and easily removed from the

been removed below the level of the

The drawing on the left shows in

because the wall forms shelf inside

Fitting Contrlvance.

II is known fact by those who
have made the study of the anatomy
of the horse a special study, that a
large per cent OF the shoulder lame
ness that horses are afflicted with is
due to the use of collars that do not

Better a small garden we'll titled

1t is estimated that the last corn
