cut holes in one side so that the hens
can enter, tack on a board in front
for the hens to hop on as they enter
the nest, leave the rear side open
and hang the box against the wall
so that by simply tipping it up the
old nest will fall out and can be re-
placed by new one. Coal oil is

houses are placed in the orchards in
summer, but in November are drawn
together and the hens kept confined
to the houses all winter. These
houses are 8x10 feet, placed on run
ners so that pair of horses will
haul them anywhere on the farm,
have the open or canvas front. and
one small window placed below the
front The cost of keeping hen is
about ST.. .25 to 81. so per year and the
sales of eggs from their farm amount

Delaware Experiment station gave an
account of his experiments with
lime sulphur sprays in controlling

replacing Bordeaux mixture which
has been used for many years with
great success, but the sulphur sprays

Correct Way to Roll Umbrella.


A badly rolled up umbrella, besides
looking unsightly, does not wear half
as long as it ought to. The process of
rolling an umbrella Is very simply.
The majority hold it by the handle and
keep twisting the stick with one hand.
while with the other they twist and
roll the silk. Instead of this they
should take hold of the umbrella just
above the ribs of the cover. These
points naturally lie evenly with the
stick. They should be kept hold OF
and pressed tightly against the stock
and then the cover should be rolled up
Holding the ribs thus prevents them
from getting twisted out of place or
bending out of shape, and the silk is
bound to follow evenly and roll smooth
and tight. If an umbrella is rolled in
this fashion it will look as If newly
bought for a long time.-Boston Her

RESOLUTIONS
ADOPTED BY
CHURCHEST |.
Demand StriCter ObSer-
vance Of Day Of Rest
and Worship

The pastors and church people Of
the city have taken up arms against
Sunday amusemeptss voicing a strong
protest against entertainments in
the playhouse. picture shows. band
playing, etc, on the first day OF the
week.
A meeting Of the ministrial as
sociation was held last Friday and a
resolution was prepared expressing
the sentimentes Of the churches. Ait
the Christian church yesterday the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
AT meeting held by the business
men and pastors Of the city it was
unanimously voted that each OF the
churches Of the city give expression
to their opposition to Sunday amuse-
meuts; therefore we the members Of
the Christian church in public wor-
ship assembled. do most earnestly en-
ter our protest against. and stand I'M
eoulyocally opposed to entertainments
and amusements on the streets. in the
playhouses. and the moving picture
shows on Sunday. thus disturbing BY
band-playlng, megaphones. and other
ways the quiet, and peace of our com
muaity, hurting the moral reputation
Of our city, desecrating the Lords
Day, and making the one day Of rest
a day for many Of labor and for the
city day Of turmoil We appeal to
our citizens, who believe in Christ
and his church to relieve US from the
present situation and assist us in re-
storing the proper observance Of the
Sacred day upon which Our Lord
and Saviour rose from the dead.
Similar resolutions were adopted
by the Baptist. Congregational and
Presbyterian churches. No services
We're held at the Methodist church
yesterday. Owing to a remonstrance
made BY the ministers Of the city the
curtain didn't 60 up at convention
han last night till the church services
were dismissed.
