in 1t for the feed pipe. In this way the interior of the barrel is protected from direct currents of outside air; consequent y the water will not freeze to any ex- tent in cold weather, at least not enough to retard its flow in a temperature above 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
 Rain Gutter as Drinking Trough
 An ordinary galvanized sheet Iron rain gutter or caves trough makes an ideal contriyance for placing water before the birds and one that is kept clean most easily. It should be about 15 feet long in n house of 5o0 layers. This trough Is fastened to the front wall of the build ing with hangers manufactured for the purpose The rolled or rounded edge of the trough should face the side from which the birds drink, and be about 10 inches off the floor, with a slight drain toward the end farther from the barrel. The tinsmith will solder A plate at each end of the trough and also tit the end that is to be farther from the barrel with an overflow pipe and drain. Both of these may be of tubing half an inch in diameter fitted so that they discharge outside the building.
 The drain. of course, should lead from the lowest point in the trough, and be rounded nicely so that an ordinary cork may be used as a plug stopper, This ar engagement facilitates washing out the trough, and if the overflow pipe is prop erly located, there need be no fear of the trough overnowing to the floor of the building.
 About three inches above the edges of the gutter, allowing just enough space for the fowls to raise and lower their heads in drinking 1t Is advisable to fit a 10-inch board over the entire length of the trough This will prevent the birds from jumping into it or fonlng the water. This board should be hinged as shown in the accompanying sketch, so that it may be raised for cleaning Di- rectly over the end of the trough bore a hole in the lowest practical point in the barrel and fit 1t with a wooden faucet or tap. The water supply Is then under control, and may be allowed either 10 trickle or to run in a steady stream.
 In the winter. when there Is likelihood of the water in the trough freezing over night 1t may be drained off at closing up time and the spigot wrapped with a piece of woolen cloth Unless the temperature is extremely low, the trough will not freeze in the day time inasmuch as the fowls are continually drinking from 1t, and the spigot will not freeze because the water in the barrel is consderab bly warmer than the outside air
 System Proved Satisfactory

CARE OF TEE
 BACK YARD FLOCK.

During the summer months the poultry kept in limited quarters re- quire more careful attention than at any other time. Lack of free range and insects and other foods which the farmers flock secures. must be compensated for If the amateur poutryman Is to secure best results. Next week Prof. A. c.

fowls will develop colds or even eroup. but they are promptly caught. treated and isolated, thereby removing any danger of an epidemic. An abundant supply of water Is furnished at all times. on the principle that if dirt does get in tho trough 1t will quickly drain off. The troughs are brushed out daily. and about once a week disnfectant is used.
 For a ponltryman willing to consider a little more trouble, I have contrived a similar arrangement that 1t Is absolutely impossible to eontaminate A trough Is constructed exactly as before, and three inches above the center of this trough a half-inch galvanized iron pipe is run. drilled on the under side with holes 1-S2 of an inch in diameter. spaced four inches apart. The pipe is connected te the bar rel with a gate-valve that controls the pressure, and in this way just enough water Is allowed to enter the pipe to maintain a slow drop from all the holes. lary attraction takes place. whereupon the drop instantly increases 10 tiny stream. Tfie trough. of course, takes care of any waste, and 1t is covered with wire grid so that the fowls cannot drink from 1t. No cleaning of any kind is re- quired for this apparatus, since 1t Is im- possible for the birds to eontaminate 1t. It Is the nearest approach to an ahso- utey practical. sanitary water supply that I know of and has but one disad- vantage-it will not operate in freezing temperature

CHILD KILLS HIS BROTHER.
Barrett Children Play Bear - Seven
Year Old Shoots His IL Year Old
Brother. Blowing Brains Out.
Cleveland Star. July 80.

Cleveland star, July %.
One of the most terrible accidents
that has ever happened in Cleveland
county took place Wednesday after
noon about 2:30 o'clock when Curtis
Barrett. seven years old, shot and in
stantly killed his brother, Clyde Bar
rett. twelve years old. The child
rem were playing bear and Clyde. the
elder, taught his younger brother
how TO hold the gun and shoot the
bear. He turned the shot gun over
to him and the little fellow. doing as
he had been shown, pointed directly
at his prancing and playing brother
on the bed in their room, pulled the
trigger and the gun fired. OF course
they did not know the gun was load
ed. but the entire load struck Clyde
in the right eye, went through his
head and blew his brains out
Clyde and Curtis are the only chill
dren of Mr.. and Mrs. Mann Barrett,
renters on Mr. William McSwan's
plantation on broad river, adjoining
the lands of Major r. B. Miller about
five miles southwest Of Shelby.
1t is understood that Mr.. Barrett
had laid his gun on the bed to make
rack for ii over the door. The
children got possession of il while he
was out of the room and began their
play which resulted fatally to Clyde.
The mother was in an adjoining room
scrubbing the floor and knew nothing
of the danger until she heard the gun
fired.
The body of Clyde was buried yes
terday at Zoar church below Shelby
at 2'o'clock. Rev. Al. Burrus con-
Quoted the funeral service.
1t was one of the most distressing
accidents that has ever taken place
in that community and the friends
and neighbors have the deepest sym
patty for the Barrett porents in their
bereavement.

LITTLE GIRL SAVED FATHER.
Her Plea Caused Governor of Georgia
To Pardon Her Father.

Milledgeville, Ca, Dispatch. July2i.
The plea of a six-year-old child TO
Governor Harris won a promise of
freedom for Thomas Edgar STRIPPING,
who was arrested in Danville, Va, in
1911, where he was chief of police,
and returned here to spend his life in
prison for murder. after he had es-
capped from Jail, fourteen years be-
fore, while awaiting transfer TO the
Georgia prison farm.
Learning that the Governor would
visit the prison today, Bessie Lucille,
Stripling's little daughter, obtained
permission to be present and make
her appeal.
"Mr. Governor, won't you please
turn my papa loose" she pleaded.
"He is sick and there is nobody home
to work for us. Please turn him
loose, Mr.. Governor"
Governor Harris, yisibly affected by
the childish plea. patted her on the
head and replied;
Little girl, run and tell your papa
that I'm going to turn him out OF
here. Tell him that I'm going to
pardon him."
Later, after the prisoners daugh-
ter had told him of the decision, the
Governor himself visited Stripping.
He did not announce the date the par
don would be given.
Stripping was known as X. h.
Morris in Danville, where was was
prominent. Four years ago he was
recognized by former acquaintance.
He admitted his identity and volun-
tarily returned to this State, where he
had been convicted of shooting W. j.
Cornett, in 1897.
Two other Governors have refused
