the attendant to move about and visit
each Matching box every day.
1t is a comfortable sight to see the
biddies attending TO- business as close
neighbors in these different little
boxes. Rather close attention is re-
quired, however by the poultry woman
during the incubation season. because
occasionally one of the hens wanders
from home, and that Is what makes
trouble.
These nest boxes during the fall and
early winter are used for the laying
hens up to the time when incubation
should begin. After the brooding sea-
son in early spring the same room
comes In handy to shelter an extra
brood or two Of chickens when the
other room--the regular brooder room
lis overcrowded. .t< e
From the Matching room the hens
with their little broods are transferred
to the brooder room in front. There
they are furnished with separate
brooder coops, where they can nurse
their little families until they are old
enough and strong enough to go into
one Of the colony houses.
All the furniture in the Matching
room and brooder room Is made re-
movable, for easy cleaning, the same
as the movables In the large room.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

on the Grocer and Butcher
Splendid Green Salad.

Don't allow the grocer to weigh your
butter, lard, ETC.. In wooden dish.
These dishes weigh from one to three
ounces, according to their size, and
you are therefore paying for that much
wood at the price OF butter.
Don't let the butcher weigh your
meat and then trim 1t and charge you
for the trimmings that you have paid
for. The fat can be rendered into lard
and the bones used in soup. The
butcher knows that they have a value
for when you do not take them he re-
sells them for six or seven cents
pound. Do not be afraid to ask for
what is your due and to demand hon.
esty and full measure. ~
A green salad served with cheese,
nuts or eggs, and French dressing
with whole wheat sandwiches. can be
made the main course for luncheon.
A cheese souffie served with spinach
makes meat unnecessary. Beets
stuffed with creamed mushrooms and
nuts are delightful, and ring OF
mashed potatoes filled with creamed
carrots and peas will please the most
fastidious appetite. A canape, bisQue
or PURGE made of fresh vegetables, or
q cocktail made of mixed fruits, is q
good beginning to either luncheon or
dinner. Desserts should be fresh
fruits, fruit ices or gelatin dishes,

necessary, thin cotton may be used
over the wire. Inside there is large
scratching shed 10 feet square. In the
back part of this room the roosts are
supported by hanging wires suspended
from the roof, so that the whole floor
space may be covered with straw and
used for scratching purposes.
The roosts and nest boxes are all
made easily removable, to be carried
outdoors at housekeeping time, so
that all the walls and the ceiling may
be sprayed with whitewash or crude
oil.
The nest boxes, roosts and all other
chicken-house furniture are treated to
the same kind of bath, after taking
them outside, and they are left to dry
in the sun for several hours before be-
ing put back into place in the house.
This is done frequently in warm
weather and occasionally during the
winter. The climate or length of the
warm season has a good deal to do
with the proper disinfection of the
poultry house to keep it in proper
condition.

evergreens, for the birds If not for

pines. Their gumny nature may lead

Kinsale, made forever memorable by
the tragedy of the Lusitania, keeps a
modest place in the history of Ireland.
1t was here that Don Juan's feet land
ed 5000 men to join hands with
O'Neill, out of which landing grew the
story that the cottages at Worlds
End are still inhabited by the de-
scendants of Spaniards." 1t was from
Kinsale that James II, on March 2,
1889, landed, and from Kinsale he
sailed after his defeat at the battle Of
the Boyne. Thirty years ago the house
in which he spent the night before his
departure was still in existence. Kin
sale was greater in the past than now.

ports it was the best situated for in
tercourse with France, and that in tho
town Marlborough found thousand
barrels of wheat and 80 pipes OF

SHADE FOR THE FARM HOME

An abundance Of shade is one of the
Injuries which every farm home can
and should have. The city dweller is
often q renter and must take things
as they are. Or If he owns home,
the lot Is restricted in size, and large
trees are an impossibility. But on
the farm land for a commodious yard
should always be reserved.
Those having a grand old elm,
maple, or oak to begin with, are for
tunate, indeed. But the idea that
trees planted now of these species will
be comfort only to succeeding gen.
erations is quite mistake.
Most Of the naples, and especially
the sugar and red naples are of rapid
growth, and at few years at most
will give an abundance of shade.
81 Do not make the mistake of using
fruit or nut trees in the yard. Both
make a litter at certain seasons, which
renders them sort of nuisance en-
tirely unnecessary. If you had no
room for an orchard 1t would be a
different matter. You want the yard
for solid comfort, and not as a crop
producer.
Because the city man uses the
horse chestnut for shade, do not follow
his example. He does it because this
tree is low growing and compact-just
the thing where there is little room
either on the ground or in the air.
With your broad expanse a more as
piring species should be chosen. Be-
sides the burs are a nuisance.
There is nothing better on the farm
lawn than native trees. They thrive
admirably, and in every community
there are those we'll worth attention.
