take them outside and away from the
others and often in the open, covering
them over with something to keep
the rain of them. This method pro.
vides the secluslon and darkened
place Just to suit a hen, and then II
the coop rests on the ground the con.
ditions are ideal to her mind. and she
cannot be blamed for preparing for a
three weeks stay. Hens will break
up sooner If they are kept In the lot
where the others are scratching and
feeding and are shut in a coop that
will not permit their sitting down and
warming up a nest. A Slated bottom
located in the scratching shed. with
nests under it, has been used, and
three days was the average time re.
quired to stop them, and they some.
times began laying in a week.
Do not let hens sit on the nests a
week or two and then try to break
them up. 1t is much easier to break
them at once the first time they re-
main on the nests at night, for they
are not very determined, and often
will not persist if kept up n day.
Then hens that are broken up at
once will go to laying sooner after
being broken up than those that are
left to sit a week first, and you get
the week of extra work also.

which the architect has succeeded in
weaving a combination Of ideas that
result in a beautiful picture.
The front veranda is too wide for
the roof so that an awning supported
on curved iron brackets is substituted.
This arrangement permits Of rolling
the awning up ard back under the
caves when not required as q protec-
ton against rain or sun. These
brackets are blacksmith-made and are
rounded outward with hooks at the
bottom to catch the curtain pole. The
width Of the awning and the length
of the curtain brackets are measured
to correspond so the curtain pole is
supported in such a way as to per-
NIT the drip to run freely off onto the
shrubbery. There also is a way to
form an cave gutter in the canvas
that will lead the rain water off to
one corner OF the building. 1t is an
ingenious combination of rain and sun
protection for temporary use when

Broody hens seem to be q serious
problem for many, and some people
have objected to the Orpingtons be-
cause Of this. One man says he has
kept both Buff Orpingtons and White
Orpingtons and has never had much
trouble with either Of them. or

The principle on which all methods
for stopping broodiness must be
based to succeed without real cruelty
to the hens. is to have something
1nder them that it will be impossible
for them to warm up. The easiest
way to provide this is by having the
coop go open beneath that the air
will circulate up around them. A

The idea Of owning a typical bunga-
low appeals to all young persons and
most older people. A real bungalow
is low and wide in proportion. 1t has
q comparatively nat roof that projects
several feet beyond the sides Of the
house, thereby carrying out the pro.
tective principle that the roof is de-
signed for.
The oldtime bungalow idea is
splendidly illustrated in the accom-
panying picture. and the floor plan is
very clearly shown in the diagram

square on the ground. but the rooi

the substitutes met the test. until they reached the eye Of the circulation

The movement was not all together the one way, however, New Haven and Street Railway preferred each declined points to their mini mum.

Traders expressed disappointment at the con- tinued absence of public interest, the investment inquiry being at low ebb.

American Cotton Ship Report ed Off British Coast On
 February g.

New York, Feb. 25.-The steam ship Dacia. which sailed from Norfolk Feb. II for Rotterdam with cotton, in the face of assertions that she would be seized by British men-of- war inasmuch as she had been a Ger man vessel at the outbreak of the war, had almost completed her trip across the Atlantic without interfer- ference on Feb. 23, ccording to mes sages received here to-day.
 These messages asserted that the Dacia 400 miles west of Lands End, Eng, on that date would proceed through the English Channel to Rot terdam if not taken. The Dacia is owned by Edward N. Breitung of this city and Detroit who purchased her from the Hamburg-American line and changed her registry, placing. her un- der the American flag.
 Mir Breitung also purchased the seguerance, of the Ward line, an American vessel, and had her reTnod- eled a freighter. The Seguerance is now loading with provisions for Rotterdam and is expected to sail from this port within day or two.
