TRAP NESTS NECESSARY.

The conversion of a flock that bare
ly pays for the feed 1t eats into one
which will lift the mortgage from the
home farm is largely q matter Of
elimination Of the star boarder" and
the conservation Of the 200-egg-a-year
hens. Those who have made special
study of this subject are firm believ-
ers in the trap nest. To discover the
best egg producers one must use the
trap nest, or some method Of keeping
q record Of eggs laid by individual
hens. The trap nest is about the best
thing that has been discovered in the
poultry business. ,.... ...... ...-.. H.. q.
There will be but slow improve
ment in breeding without an egg rec
ord for each hen in the flock. The OBJ
jectibn to the trap nest is that it re-
quires too much labor for the farmer.
That is true in the majority Of cases.
Not many farmers can give the nee
cssary time. It is here that the state
or experiment station should and can
be a great aid. There should be a
breeding station or several in every
state, where the farmers and poultry
raisers could secure at q fair price
cockerels Of good egg-laying pedigree
to mate with their hocks. 1t would
not take 80 very long to furnish those
farmers who had improvement Of
their focks in view with a male bird
whose ancestry for two generations
had an egg record of $50 eggs a year
or more.

PREVENTING HORSE coLIc.

A common cause Of collie is allow
ing the horse to partake Of large
drafts of water Immediately after fin
fishing feed of oats. The reason be:
ing that when large quantity Of wa
ter is thus drunk it has the effect Of
carrying with it out Of the stomach
and into the intesunes some Of the
freshly eaten oats. Being still In q
raw and undigested condition, this
grain is apt to cause irritation and in
fiammation to the intestines, which is
the immediate cause Of collie. 1t Is
the best plan to always water horses
before a meal, or some time after.
In the case Of collie the following
treatment is recommended by "A vet
Urinary surgeon: Administer dose
consisting Of one ounce Of laudanum
and two ounces Of sweet spirits Of
nitre, along with half pint Of whis-
ky In some hot water. Very often
simple cases Of collie yield to the ad-
ministration Of couple Of ounces of
cooking soda, diluted with water, and
given az soon as the first symptoms
Of the attack are noticed. Should the
administration Of this cooking soda
fail to give the desired relief no time
should be lost in following 1t up with
the laudanum. ,~..

A HINT ABOUT SPRING FASHIONS.

A lingerie gown which forecasts
fashion for summer is extreme In its
simplicity. In English embroidery on
fine lawn, the foundation Of silk and
dress material proper have an inter
lining Of deep pansy, purple chihon,
which give a pretty gray note to the
dress. Folds of the chiffon encircle
tho waist above a tablier of embroid-
cry held down with tiny white but
tons, and chiffon is again used for
sleeves and yoke, where the embroid-
cred material is dashed UP from neck
to elbows, and Topped together with
strands of purple ribbon velvet.
A pretty idea of summer gown 10
dress made of white open-work en-
broidery over white satin. The dress
has dainty little coat Of daffodil-yel-
low ninon, belted at the waist with
royal blue Ottoman, and finished with
hemstitched edges of yellow satin
with yellow satin with gold threads
near the clasp of black velvet which
has rows of yellow and blue buttons,
and the collar, with frill down one
side Of the front, is Of the embroidery
edged with Valenciennes.

HOW HORSES ARE slsHoPEp.

Thousands OF horses are annually
sold under false representations.
Some Of these fakirs have become so
skilled in their tricks and wiles that
1t requires quite an experienced horse
man to catch them. This Is especial.
ly SO In the doctoring tricks practiced
by them In order that they may dis
pose of a bad animal to the best ad-
vantage. This taking is also known
as "bishoping"-a term derived from
a man named Bishop. who, during the
eighteenth century, secured a reputa-
ton for making old horses appear
young.
i, Bishops method was in relation to
the teeth Of the horse. At full age a
horse has forty teeth, and not until
the fifth year are all visible. Six
months later the n1ppers or front
teeth become marked by a natural
cavity, and the presence or absence
Of these marks tells the animals exact
age. AS the horse becomes older
these marks wear away. and it is then
that Bishop set to work to make fresh
cavities as found in horse at the
age he wished to represent.
The surface of the teeth was cut
out with steel tool, and the back
lining of the groove. which must be
visible, burnt in with nitrate or some
other chemical In this way horses OF
eight or nine years Of age were sold
as f1ve-year-olds.
In endeavoring to play the trick OF
increased age, three-year-old. for in
stance, was transformed into five
year-old by means Of chiseling out
the side milk teeth with which horses
are furnished up to their third year,
when they are supplanted by perma-
nent ones. The extraction OF the for
mer brings on the latter much quicker
than would be the case In the natural
order of things, thus making horse
appear much older than 1t really Is.

/. At twelve he stopped at Jerusa-

passed In and out Of the magnificent
temple and had the meaning Of its
parts and services explained to him,

family around the roast lamb and bit

great redemption through the slain
lamb In the past and forward to the
worlds greater redemption through the
Staying Of himself some twenty years
hence. Jesus saw deeper than any
one else into the significance Of all
these things, for he had pondered the
Scriptures and the Holy Spirit had
interpreted to him even as Q boy
their innermost meaning. Jesus en-
joyed being in the temple. He felt
more at home there than any place
he had ever been. It was Fathers
house" Tvs. 40, r. w.. How many of
US have that deep, consuming longing
for the place where the Father dwells
and manifests himself? (Ps. 27:4.)
When his human parents left he could
not but stay behind where his real
parent was. When his parents had
sought him three days everywhere
they could think Of they at last found
him in the temple. He seems to have
spent the time there and they ought
to have sought him there in the first

things that he could learn even from

criticised his teachers. He was a
