One of the principal objections to
the trap nest generally employed
where individual records of hens are
desired is that too much time Is re-
auired to take the hens out Of the
nests and record their achievements.

farmers and poultrymen who would
like to know which hens are profitable

As the ideal home OF the mythical
past was an Eden where flowers grew
and bloomed in great profusion, and
the trees were planted In great abun-
dance, 1t suggests how the grounds
about our homes should be adorned.
The lawn should be large and spa.
cious and SO arranged that a good view
from the house can be had at all
angles. The house should be located
as far back in the lawn from the road
as possible.
Evergreens can be employed to
great advantage In making the back
ground. and where room will permit,
they should be planted with the large
growing varieties like pine and spruce
In the rear and then with others like
hemlock. arbor vitae, etc. In proper
graduation. Plant nothing directly in
front of the house, but on the margins
of the lawn. Arrange the trees by
grouping the different varieties and
sizes of trees and shrubs together.
This grouping or massing process on
the border gives variety and pleasing
effect. Small growing evergreens or
dwarf shrubs can be employed to plant
In the angles of walks or near the
house. Plant all herbaceous and
perennial plants along the walks. an
they will not obstruct the view and at
the same time add beauty to the sur

bloom. AS soon as blooming period Is

removed and there will be nothing

A Fish Out of Water
By BERTHA ORVIILE
(Copyright, 1850, by Associated Literary Presa)

Sed Morgan was In a quandary. His
sister Edith and his best friend. Tom
Winters, had been In that delightful
stage of courtship that precedes an
engagement when suddenly the stu
uation changed and Toms visits
ceased. The big brother had at first
concluded that 1t was a lovers quar-
rel and would, In time, right itself.
But Ediths demeanor soon changed
that theory. She seemed to be as
happy and as intensely interested in
her thoughts as she was when first
she met Tom.
On the other hand. Tom was in a
state of deep dependency. One day
he suddenly announced his intention
Of going west.

At this intelligence Tom frightened
little and went away with the spark
Of hope famed to life again.
Ned grew watchful OF his sister.
From the fact of her having no eve

the other man must be employed at
night and able only to pursue his WOO.

that he gained knowledge of the af.

passed a small lake resort. Feeling
thirsty he ran the car into the
grounds up to the pavilion. To his
surprise he saw his sisters runabou,
IN the driveway.
Where is the young lady who came
out in the runabout?" he asked of the
landlord.
