Harvard to Build an Aeroplane.

All the materials and accessories nec-
essary to the construction of first
class, full size aeroplane have been
ordered by the Harvard University
Aeronautical society. j. V. Martin,
director Of the organization, has been
authorized to make such purchases as
he may deem necessary to build a two
passenger biplane. Plans Of the ma
chine have already been completed.
When it comes time to manufacture
the various parts needed in the con-

will be done by undergraduates in the

There are estimated to be about Co.

One of these dealers said recently
that he had begun the work of supply

A very convenient way Of feeding

Of a prominent brseder, an arrange
ment that made the trdaily feelings
a matter of so little difficulty that a
child could place the feed before a
pen of unruly noses.
The front of each pen was hinged
at the top, swinging downward against
the farther sides of the uprights, as
here shown, the weight of the door
being sufficient to hold it in place On
the front of the door is a vertical bar
with a pin through the top, as here
shown. This is held in place by TWO
wooden blocks notched out to admit
Of the bars sliding up and down, the
blocks being bolted to the door. II
desired the home blacksmith could
easily shape a piece of iron to perform
the same duty.
At feeding time the bar is lifted and
the door swung in past the trough,
directly beneath Then the bar is
dropped, thus holding the door back
of the trough. This keeps the hungry
mob on the other side of the door
while the feeder takes his time to
clean the trough, if need be, and to

case, some hens laying better the sec

the greatest number of eggs from a
