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 In
tended to suggest rather than to In
vite 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 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 Ia

fowls from the inside Of the building.

DERRICK FOR HANDLING HOGS

GAPES GET WEAK CHICKENS
II Fowls Are Kept Dry, Thrifty and
Well Fed They viii Seldom Be
Subject to Disease.
DIV ". Il. LEUTZD

Perhaps ii would not do to say that
all chickens that die from gapes are
those that are poorly fed and cared
for. but it is undeniably true that IL
the chickens are we'll fed on feeding
boards and kept dry and thrifty they
will seldom be attacked
1t is generally believed that gapes
are propagated in the soil. 1t follows
that II the chickens are fed on the
same ground all through the season
they are more liable to be troubled by
the gapes than If they are fed on dry
floors
Preventative is better than cure
always and If the chickens are fed on
dry floors for the first few weeks of
their lives and the yards in which
they run changed two or three times
during the season they will seldom
suffer from the gapes.
We believe that this trouble Is the
result of poorly kept quarters just as
lice and mites come when the coops
and grounds are neglected. We have
never yet heard Of an epidemic of
gapes in a flock of chicks where every
sanitary precaution was taken and
they were cared for just as they
should be.
When you come to study this asser
ton you will see that high standard
Is set for the amateur chicken raiser.
but II 1t Is maintained your chickens
will not die from gapes.
To those whose flocks are suffering
the best cure is a simple one-car-
bolic acid.
AS soon as the chicks show signs
OF gapes make a small coop with two
compartments, an upper and lower.
Place hot brick in the lower one
and drop on it three or four drops OF
carbolic acid. The upper compart,
ment in which the chickens are placed
should not be air tight as the young.
sters will suffocate, but it should be
tight enough to cause them to sneeZe
and show considers BILE agitations.
One or two careful treatments in
this way will kill the worms in the air
passages and it Is time for the owner
Of the flock to put his chicks on new
ground, disinfect their roosting quar-
tiers and everything else about the
place II he would keep them healthy.

ROOT CROPS FOR DAIRY cow
TurnIps and Other Like Root Vegeta.
bles Make Fine Milk Producing
Feed-Add to Variety.

No matter what some people tell
you, turnips and other roots make
fine milk producing feed. Turnips
will not affect the flavor of milk If
fed at the right time.
II turnips are fed in large quaint
ties and two or three hours before
milking, they are likely to give the
milk an unpleasant taste, but if fed
directly after milking. no flavor
whatever will be noticed
A peck of turnips to each animal
per day is sufficient in most cases,
A good plan Is to feed directly after
hay in the early morning, and once
day Is often eonugh,
A little salt scattered over the tur-
nips. which shout, be chopped in
quarters or smaller add to their
palatability.
Roots make very valuable addition
to the winter ration, because they
add to the variety of the feed and no
animal on the farm appreciates va
riety more than the dairy COW,
In Wisconsin, Iowa and other
western dairy states the root crop
Is becoming very important part Of
the crop Of the farm.
Intelligence in hurrying feeds for
the dairy COW is one way of increasing
profits on the farm
One big advantage Of the hog rails
ing industry is that the hogs give
quick and profitable returns.
In breaking a colt remember that
II Is an easy matter to overload and
ruin him by causing him to balk.
Sprained tendons and joints are
often the effect of long grown hoofs
continually tamping on solid floors.
Perhaps a banking of the COW shed
on the north side would make 1t more
comfortable for the cows this winter.
To get the best results the dairy
should be well ventilated, fly proof
and at some distance from the sheds.
One mistake in hen culture is not
to feed the hen well when she Is
dry" melting hen is doing hard
work.
