FREsH-AIR HOUSES FOR EGGS
Excellent Results Secured by Leaving
Screen Door Open--Wheat
Straw Used for Litter.

Some years ago, while trying to
make poultry pay on a small scale,
tried the open-air house. BY making
a screen door at one end and leaving
this open day and night / secured
twice as many eggs as in my other
houses not so provided, says writer
in an exchange. Now that am keep
ing fowls on a lower scale / always
use some kind of fresh air house with
good results. Wheat straw is spread
in the chicken house to the depth Of
six inches. In this the feed is scat
tered, oats, wheat, barley. sorghum
seed, etc, for morning and noon feeds.
The evening meal consists of a mash
of boiled potatoes thickened with
bran, beef meal, little ground oats
and cornmeal slightly sailed. After
the fowls have eaten ali they want I
feed ear corn for finish Beef scrap,
charcoal, grit and oyster shell are con-
stantly before them. The straw is
cleaned out every day and replaced
with fresh the. next morning. II the
weather is bad and the fowls have to
stay in doors, replace twice a day.
I have no trouble In getting eggs in
winter from bred-to-lay white leghorn
and white Wyandotte fowls. Both va
rieties are good.

WOMAN CONFESSES

ManaWa. - Mrs. Albert Patzer,
whose husband was murdered at the
dinner table in his home at Symco,
an inland town near here, has con-
fessed to the Staying. She was taken
into custody Immediately after the

Mrs. Patzer told dramatic story
to explain the murder when she sum
moned physicians to her aid. She
said she was in the kitchen and
heard sounds of struggle. She
rushed into the room in time to catch
a feeting glimpse of strange man
going out of the door, she said, and
found her husband upon the floor,
blood streaming from his head. He
had been struck from behind with a
blunt instrument When her story
had been told posse was formed and
farmers joined in the search for the

ATTRACTIVE NESTS FOR HENS
Discarded Grocery Boxes, Such 40
used for Soap or Condensed MIX,
May Be Used.

Nests that are attractive to hens
because of their privacy, sanitary as
to character and convenient for the
gathering of eggs are the claim of
every one who keeps fowls either in
a limited number or on large scale,
says writer in the New York
Tribune Farmer Various are the
nest arrangements employed by the
different poultrymen, and varied in
character must they continue to be
to suit the requirements of the fowls
and the plan of the poultry house.
But no style of nest that is at all
practical can fail to be suggestive to
any poultryman who has not yet
solved the nest problem to his liking.
The nests herewith described are ini
tended to suggest rather than to in
yite exact imitation.
A convenient style of nest is shown
In illustration No. /. The nests are
arranged along the wall, with the
open sides inward, space enough be-
ing allowed at the ends to admit the
fowls. A hinged cover at the top
makes egg gathering a simple mat
ter These nests may be improvised
from wooden boxes nailed together,
one side being removed and the
hinged cover hung over them. Sup
port is furnished by four uprights
which raise the nests about one foot
above ground. The nest boxes should
be as smooth as possible, and painted
inside and out
Another convenient arrangement is
the row of nests accessible to the
fowls from the inside of the building,
but projecting beyond it's wall, and

lifted from the ouaside to permit
the gathering of eggs. II necessary a
paddock may be used to secure this
cover.
Style No. is preferable to style
No. in cold climates. The nests are
along the inside wall, supported
above the ground and open at the
top. A slide in the wall allows the
gathering of eggs from outside. Gro
Gerry boxes, such as soap or con-
densed milk boxes, may serve for the
nests, being so divided that two nests
are formed from one box. They
should be movable so that they may
be readily cleaned.

Matthew O'Reagan as postmaster at

made by President Taft one week

that anybody should have the hardi-

We should not lose sight of the
fact that even If we were willing ia

to find anywhere an impartial tri-
bunal to try It.

Smthing abolishing all decorations.
