The trigger can be attached to the
side of the nest box by using long
screw, but in every case must work
freely. The screw must be set square
ly into the side Of the box to abso-
lutely prevent the trigger from bind
ing against the side. Free action of
the trigger is positively required.
The trigger must be set in such a
position that when the door is swung
inward and rests on the notch it will
be invitingly open and at the same
time this opening must be small enough
to prevent the hen walking into the
nest without touching the door with
her back. As she steps into the nest
and slightly raises the door, the trig-
ger is released and falls backward.
The door then swings down and the
pointed end Of the trigger rises be-
hind it, effectually locking it.
See that the nesting material does
not interfere with the trigger. Long
hay or straw may eventually get piled
up in such manner as to interfere
with its action. To remove the hen,
simply turn the button or screw hook
and swing the door outward, or, if
you prefer, turn down the point Of the
trigger and swing the door in toward
the top of the nest, thus permitting
the bird to come out that way. Of
course the nest can be set in a parti-
tion with back door through which
the hen may he removed.
1t is necessary to drive nail into
the side of the box in such manner
as to check the falling trigger, when
the sharp end rises to a point where
it safely locks the door. The point Of
the trigger should rest near the bot
tom Of the door when the door is
closed. The trigger resting on the
back of the door prevents any len on
the outside from coming in and the
door closing against the button or
screw hook prevents the hen in the
nest from releasing herself. Missouri

Homemade Trap Nests

The door is hung on screw eyes.
The screw eyes are placed in the up
per corners of the door. A gimlet or
small bit is used to make a small
hole through each partition at the top
of the nest where the door is to be
hung. A long wire is passed through
these holes and also through the screw
hooks at the top of each door and the
wire is then bent and fastened at each
side Of the nest. This one wire allows
the screw hooks and the door to swing
on it. This acts as hinge for the
doors and allows them to swing free
ly back and forth. The doors must
swing absolutely free if the nest is to
be a success. This makes cheap
hinge and permits the door to swing
freely in all directions.
The door is checked by means of
screw hooks or thumb buttons These
screw hooks are made by bending
down ordinary hooks Of the proper
size and for purposes Of this kind
The buttons are placed on the front of
the center partition and act as stop
for both doors. If you should be trou-
bled with the buttons working loose,
then use the screw hooks.

half Of the droppings, or only 80
pounds per hen per year, can be col
lected.
The droppings should be collected
daily and mixed with substances which
will (l) prevent loss Of nitrogen, (2)
add sufficient potash and phosphoric
acid to make a better balanced fer
tilizer, and (3) improve the mechani-
cal condition of the manure so that it
can be applied to the land with a
manure spreader.
This can be done as follows: To
each 30 pounds of the manure add 10
pounds of sawdust, good dried loan, or
peat, 16 pounds of acid phosphate and
s pounds of kainit. Such mixture
will contain about 1.25 per cent of
nitrogen, As per cent of phosphorc
acid, and 2 per cent of potash, which,
used at the rate Of two tons per acre
would furnish so pounds of nitrogen,
1856 pounds of phosphoric acid and 80
pounds of potash, and at the present
price of fertilizing ingredients is worth
about $40 per ton. The mixture would
furnish well balanced stable {ertil-
izer, which, although not fine enough
to work well in drills, can be Success
fully applied with a manure spreader.
The treated manure should be well
sheltered until time to apply to the
land-this is, shortly before plowing.

wise make the top Of the nest tight.
1t is good idea to leave an inch
opening in the back or sides Of the
nests for ventilation. Also leave an
opening of three-fourths inch in the
back Of the nest at the bottom. This
prevents the eggs or the nesting ma
terial from passing through this open
ing, but at the same time gives you
a space through which to scrape the
trash and filth which aceumulates in
the bottom of any nest.
Use a door consisting Of q frame
over which small mesh wire has been
tackled. We like the wire door bet
ter than a solid wooden door, because
Of the fact that it affords ample ven
tilation, the lack of which is one Of
the glaring faults Of the average trap

used on any sort of nest or box you
care to attach them to.
The body of the nest is built of
light material, one-half or five-eighths
inch lumber. The trigger and front
door should be made of seven n-eights
