An excellent contrivance, by means
of which fowls can let themselves out
of the chicken house in the early morn
ing, while the poultryman Is still
asleep, is the invention of Charles v.
Keller of Winamac, Ind, a well-knOwn
breeder Of White Wyandottes, says
Rural New Yorker. 1t consists of a
box which is open at one end to fit
around the small door in the side Of
the chicken house through which the
birds are accustomed to pass in and
out. The other end is closed by a
hinged door A, covered with poultry
wire. The bottom of the box Is a little
shorter than the top. and near the
opening into the chicken house a false
bottom B Is hinged to it. To the outer
end of this false bottom a cord Is
fastened which passes up through the
top of the box, over two pulleys, or
through two screw-eyes, and is at
tached to a wire hook H that Is so
arranged as to hold in position the
wire covered door A, when the box
Is closed. A weight of lead or iron,
near the point of attachment Of the
core to the hook, counterbalances the
weight of the false bottom and relieves

the hook from strain. Care should be
taken to make an accurate adjustment
and not have the balancing weight too
heavy.
When the chicken house is closed at
night the wire-covered front A is
raised up and held in position by draw
ing down the hook H. The length of
the cord should be regulated so that
this procedure will raise the false bot
tom B three or four inches from the
real bottom of the box. In the morn
ing the daylight shows through the
w~ire-covered door and invites the birds
to go out. When the first one steps on
the false bottom B the hook H Is
pulled up, releasing the door A, which
falls down and opens the house for
all its inmates. This releasing con-
trivance may be constructed very
cheaply of rough materials and the

LACK OF MONEY
Was a Godsend In This Case.

It is not always that a lack Of
money Is a benefit
A lady of Green Forest, Ark. owes
her health to the fact that she could
not pay in advance the fee demand
ed by a specialist to treat her for
stomach trouble. In telling Of her
case she says:
Il had been treated by four differ
emit physicians during 10 years OF
stomach trouble. Lately I called on
another who told me he could not cure
me; that I had neuralgia of the stom-
ach. Then l went to a specialist who
told me I had catarrh OF the stomach
and said he could cure me in four
months but would have to have hig
money down. l could not raise the
necessary sum and In my extremity I
was led to quit coffee and try Postum.
$50 I stopped coffee and gave Post
um a thorough trial and the results
have been magical. I now sleep well
at night, something I had not done
for a long time; the pain in my stom-
ach Is gone and I am q different

Roosts for the Asiatics.

Roosts for Brahmas or Cochins
should not be more than a foot above
ground. Being very heavy birds, they
cannot easily fly, and it is better that
they should not be compelled to.
Some breeders do not allow them to
roost at all, but instead heavily bed
the floor of the pen and allow the
fowls to squat wherever they feel
inclined.
But in allowing them to roost on the
floor care must be taken that there
are no drafts. which often is the case II
the doors do not fit tightly.
Leaves or cut straw make good bed
ding for such fowls, and if each
morning the droppings are collected
the birds will do das well on the floor
as On roOsts.

How Lightning Splits Trees.

Lightning makes trees explode, like
overcharged boilers. The flame of the
lightning does not burn them up, nor
does the electric flash split them like
an ak. The bolt flows through into all
the damp interstices Of the trunk and
into the hollows under its bark. All
the moisture at once is turned into
steam, which by its immediate explo-
sion rips open the tree. For centuries
this simple theory puzzled scientists,
but they have got in right at last.
