Combination Metal Nests.

this is certainly not possible. The
only chance Of infection is from the
bird itself to the nesting material.
which is of minor consequence, unless
a lousy hen happens to precede a
clean one in occupying the nest.
Metal nests come in several pat
terms. One style is for hanging on
the wall, from which it can be easily
removed and cleaned. Others are
made in combination as shown in the
illustration, also in singles and in
pairs and trios. For shipping they
are knocked down; their construction
is such that nc rivets or solder is re-
quired to set them up ready for use.
Galvanized iron coops have long
been a feature of eastern and Euro
pean shows, and we can. see no rea-
son why metal houses will not prove
equally desirable. Where tried,
breeders claim them a success.

HELP IN POULTRY CHOLERA
Important Experiments With Serum
Depend Upon Live MATERIAL
Specimens Arrive Dead.

Can poultry cholera be prevented
by injecting serum into the diseased
fowls? The serum method of treat
ment prevents cholera in hogs, and If
the cas- is In its first stages, will
cure it. But will serum work equally
well in combating the disease when
contracted by fowls? This is what F.
8. Jacoby, of the poultry department,
and w. K. Stouder, Of the veterinary
department of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college, are eager to know.
OF course they will use a different
kind of serum, suited to the differ
ences between cholera in hogs and in
poultry.
Inability t o get diseased fowls to
operate upon is retarding the prog
e Of experiments now being con-
Quoted to investigate this question.
Mr.. Jacoby and Doctor Stouder wish
to communicate with owners OF flocks
where the disease has started. The
only fowls received up to the present
died In transit. Few fowls live more
than three days after contracting the
disease. If they are not started to
the college in the early stages of the
disease they are likely to arrive in a
worthless condition for the expert
ment.

EXCELLENT NESTS FOR HENS

The use of metal and concrete IN
the construction Of all kinds OF build

We see it not only in our houses, put
in the modern dairy barns and poultry
plants. This Is brought about on
grounds of economy and efficiency

Ardsley hat morning. The two gov
errors and the National Guard officers
who had spent the night in the house
were not in the slightest hurry to
break up the party, for such a COM
pany, they all knew, could hardly be
assembled again. The governors were
a trife nervous as to the attitude or
the press, in spite of Collins efforts
to dictate what history should say OF
the affair on the Raccoon; but before
they left the table the Raleigh morn
ing papers were brought in and it was
clear that the newspaper men were
keeping their contract.
Both governors had decided upon
an inspection of such portions of their
militia as were assembled on the Rae
COON, and a joint dress parade was
appointed for six o'clock.
Ardmore, anxious to make every
one at home, saw the morning pass
without a chance to speak to Jerry;
and when he was free shortly before
noon he was chagrined to find that
she had gone for a ride over the es-
tate with her father, Gov. Osborne,
Barbara and Griswold. He went in
pursuit, and to his delight found her
presently sitting alone on a log by
the Raccoon, having dismounted, 1t
appeared, to rescue a fedgling robin
whose cries had led her away from
her companions. She pointed out the
nest and directed him to climb the
tree and restore the bird. This done
he sat down beside her at a point

THE END.
Lioht. More Lloht.

If what Nikola Tesla says is true.
there is booked for 1910 rel a greater
triumph in the physical world than
the aerial flight of 1909. He says that
he has practically perfected his inven-
ton of a wireless electric light"
with which, he says, it will be possible
to light the whole United States, the
current passing into the air and
spreading in all directions, producing
the effect Of a strong aurora borealis.
He declares that he can light isolated
dwellings, though they be located H.
900 miles from his central plant. His
lamps, he adds, are indestructible, and
once provided, will never need to be
repaired or renewed. If Mr.. Tesla were
only half as good in performance as
he is in promises, what a benefactor
of the human race he would be.

Eleven Eggs ENOUGH.

In setting hens early. when the
nights are cold, 1t is a big mistake to
give too large a clutch of eggs. In
fact, 1t will pay, no matter what sea-
son of the year the hen is set, t o never
give her more than eleven eggs at a
time. 1t will be easier for her to han
die them, and she a give them bet
ter warmth. BY starting two hens
with eleven eggs each, they can be
tested on the sixth day, and the fer
tile eggs given to the one hen, when
the other can be reset If desired.
Later on in the season, when the
weather grows more mild, it is a good
idea to start three hens at a time, and
then test out the infertile eggs, divid-
ing the good ones among the two hens
and resetting the third. During March
the fertility will not be so strong as
IN April or May.-Rural World.

fear that you forget to turn the flock
from their roosting quarters some
warm day, make one Of these auto
matte release doors.
This arrangement is attached to the
outside of the building ordinarily
where the small drop door is located.
This release door should be covered
with half-inch mesh wire netting.
This will show the hens the light, and
they will be induced to reach 1T. IN
SO doing they will walk over the false
bottom, the one to which the trigger
wire is attached and her weight will

Jerry held up her left hand n re-

against all records, watched her, n
with a particular covetousness his
eyes studied that trifle of a hand.

stepped to one side, bending her head
like a bird that pauses alarmed, or
uncertain of it's whereabouts, glancing
cautiously up and down the creek.

as the result of the recent election
