Mrs. Roe managed her new train that
the latter drew out of the dance to
explain.

catching at her skirt. She caught In

The train had left the station. After
a hurried search about the room, Mrs.
Roe went out to see II the train had
arrived at the desk.

somewhat breathlessly.
The clerk Immediately got out his
train guide. He thought she was q

wished to catch a later train.

CHICKEN COOP VENTILATION
Hole Covered With Thick Cloth VIII
Provide Necessary Fresh Air and
Exclude Snow and Sleet.

To provide proper ventilation for
a chicken coop in the winter time is
a very difficult task. unless special ar
rangement was made for 1t when the
coop was built. A hole of any appre-
ciable size is sure to admit a lot of
snow and sleet with every storm. Be-
sides this being harmful for the chick
ems, 1t leaves a lot of snow and ice to
melt on the floor of the coop, which
soon causes 1t to rot and decay. We
have found, however, that by enlarg-
ing the holes somewhat and then
lacking several thicknesses of cloth
over them, the proper amount of
fresh air will be admitted, while the
snow and sleet will be excluded. The
cloth should be a light color so as to
keep the interior of the coop lighter.

better it will be for him. Any extra
care and feed given to the flock gen.
orally yields the greatest returns.
Sheep will increase the fertility of
the soil If they are handled properly.
To do this they should not be per-
mitted to crop off the grass too close
ly, which they will do If the pasture is
overstocked or II they are kept too
long on one field. Sheep manure, with
one exception, Is the most valuable Of
all farm manures. 1t Is thinly and
evenly scattered over the ground and
does not produce a rank growth in
spots of the pasture as do other ma
nures. The manure is also worked
into the soil by the sharp hoofs Of
the sheep, 80 that 1t is not washed
away but becomes available as plant
food. This quality has well earned
for sheep the title of golden hoof."
In England, land which during Queen
Elizabeth's reign produced only six
bushels Of wheat per acre has been
made to yield 80 bushels at the pres
emit time by the s Of sheep. Better
cultural methods may be the cause OF
q portion of this increase. but without
doubt the sheep are responsible for
the greater part of it.
Another equally important way that
sheep increase the productivity of the
land Is In their destruction of weeds.
