The primary object Of using trap

Of trap nests that the number OF eggs
laid per hen in an average flock varies
from 40 to 245 Without using trap
nests, the results from such a flock

Make a separate pen for your
brood sows and don't have too much
straw.
A man who will keep his sheep In
a muddy lot has small conception OF
his duty.
Whitewashing stables makes them
lighter, cleaner and much more
healthful and sanitary.
When a farmer has had silage for
his ewes one winter he hardly knows
how 10 keep them without 1t.
When horses are first put in
strange barn they will frequently not
eat we'll for perhaps week.
Noon is a good time to supply the
stock with some green stuff, such as
cabbages or roots Of any kind.
A sheep is the most nervous animal

PERCH SPACE FOR CHICKENS
Small Hens Should Be Allowed SIX
Inches, While Larger Birds Should
Be Given Eight.

AS a general rule, small hens should
have about six inches of perch space,
while the larger hens should be al
lowed eight inches. In the winter
they huddle closer together, but IN
the summer there should be plenty OF
room to allow them to spread out.

skilful penman with a lifetime at his disposal in the quiet libraries of the monasteries could make a page of old English or German characters look more beautiful than a page of Latin script. When worked out in inks of various colors and illuminated with rich designs the possibilities of the old type were many. But since there is no longer much demand for new works of that kind the old advantage has turned to disadvantage,
 The use of Gothic type makes the requirement of German more difficult and the writing of German almost an impossible art to the average foreigner It also hampers the German himself. The tendency toward using the simple Roman characters Is therefore not a weak concession to the foreign but a wise regard for German convenience To fight against 1t is to maintain a conservatism aS futile e that which

Possibly the Greeks may have been endowed with such a universal in-
 stinct for art production and art ap-
 preciation, but certain it is that there is no other nation today living in which artistic taste and aptitude are more generally diffused than in Japan. Not only are the commonest kitchen utensils molded into forms of exquisite beauty by Japanese artisans, but 1t is also very unusual to find even coolie who is not in some way a capable artist. To this so competent an authority as Professor Chamber lain bears testimony in saying that 1t is to the common people that the foreigner in Japan must go for those lessons in proportion, fitness and so- briety which Greece once knew 80 well.
