A trap nest is laying nest so ar
ranged that after hen enters it she
is confined until released by the at
tendant The trap nest shown in the
accompanying illustrations is used
with good results on the government
poultry farm and is quite similar to
the nest used at the Connecticut
state experiment station. 1t is very
simple and may be built at a small
cost.
The use Of trap nests is essential
in breeding poultry for both egg pro-
duction and exhibition, where pedi-
gree records are used in selecting
either the males or females, and has
a place in mass selection for increas-
ing the egg production. Trap nests
are of value in wedding out poor lay
ers and increasing the average egg
yield of flock by selecting and breed
ing, but are not extensively used on
account of the large amount or labor
required to operate them. Some poul-
try breeders trap nest their pullets
during their first six months OF lay
ing and use this as basis in select
ing their breeders for egg production.
One trap nest Gig. u should be
provided for four to five hens kept in
f1ocks of fifty or more, while more trap
nests per hen are necessary in small
er f1ocks. The hens are banded with
numbered bands, and record is kept
of their egg production. The nests
should be visited at least three times
daily, and preferably four or five
times, frequent trips being especially
necessary when the hens are laying
freely and during hot weather.
This trap nest may be attached to
the under side of the dropping board,
with the front facing the pen and ar
ranged so that it can be easily re-
moved, or it may be placed on the
walls of the pen. If the nest is placed
under the dropping board, the latter
will serve as top for the nest, and
the rear of the nest may be of wire
to allow good ventilation in warm
weather If the nest is placed on the
wall, Stats or wire should be inserted
from the front of the nest to the wall
at a sharp angle to prevent the hens
from roosting on the nest.
When the hen enters this nest her
back raises the door (c), which re-
leases the catch or trigger (a) and
allows the door to shut. The catch
should be set so that it's edge just

HUNDREDS HOGS SLAUGHTERED

Tuesdays aily.)

Real, genuine hog killing weather,
the first Of the season, has struck
Maury county and as result hun.
dreds upon hundreds and thousands
of fat, sleek hogs will be offered up as
sacrifice to the we'll trained appe-
tites and splendid digestions of the

verse" On Monday there were hogs
killed by the scores and scores in all
parts of the county and the slaughter
continued this morning. By night the
larger portion of the family meat" of
the county will be ready for salt and
the smoke house.
Monday night was. simply ideal for
the meat killed on Monday, The TEN.
perature was just right and the morn,
ing was very propitious time for
slaughtering. There was plenty of
ice, the mercury going several de-
grees below the freezing point. 1t
was fair and not too cold to be disa-
greeable around the scalder and the
pole" Hogs are in fine shape, too,
for killing. The fall weather has been
good. Very little rain or falling
weather has occurred to interfere
with the fattening of the porkers.
1t is not known whether there will
be as much meat packed in the coun-
ty this fall, although the low price
of hogs will rather tend to increase
the number that will be packed for
the market. A number of the big
packers killed Monday and others are
killing today. At six cents for top
hogs the packers figure a pretty safe
market.
