Baseballs of Various
Weights Have Been Used

A baseball weighed three
ounces In 1916, and because Of Its
H&htness used to have tremen-
dous distances when properly
bit. In 1854 the weight was In
creased to six and quarter
ounces. This WINS found to he
too heavy. In 1850 1t was re-
duced to six ounces; and again
In the same year 1t was reduced
n quarter of an ounce. In later
years 1t was further reduced
until 1t reached it's present
ounces.

A trap nest is a laying nest so ar
ranged that after a 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 Zig. ~ should be
provided for four to five hens kept in
flocks of fifty or more, while more trap
nests per hen are necessary in small
er focks. The hens are banded with
numbered bands, and a 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 a top for the nest, and
the rear of the nest may be of wire
to allow good ventilation in warm
weather. II 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 its edge just

PLANT PEAR TREES IN ROWS
Good Distance Is Fifteen by Thirt!
Feet-objeet Is to obtain Larger
Yields Of Fruit.

A good distance for planting stand
ard pear trees is 10 by 80 feet; that
is, the rows are 80 feet apart and the
trees Is feet apart in the rows.
The object of this method is to OBJ
tain larger crops Of fruit from the
same ground until the trees become
large enough to interfere with each
other; then each alternate tree in the
row is cut out, leaving the trees i'm the
entire orchard at a distance of 80 feet
each way.
This system has the advantage OF
more fully utilizing the land for fruit
production until the thinning out be
comes necessary.
Another plan is to plant the trees 20
feet apart each way. This distance
will afford free circulation Of air and
abundance of sunlight. both Of which
are essential to well-developed and
highly colored fruit.

WOVEN WIRE FENCE IS BEST
Problem Has Always Loomed Up High
to the Beginner With Sheep-Put
Barbed Wire on Top.

The fencing problem has always
doomed up high to the beginner in
raising sheep. 1t is not, however, a
very difficult one if it is undertaken
in an intelligent manner. 1t does not
require heavy fence to hold sheep,
but barbed wire will not make salts
factory sheep fence.
Most sheep raisers use fence con-
structed OF woven wire from thirty to
torty-two inches high with from five
to nine horizontal wires and sixteen to
twenty stays 10 the rod Any fence
coming inside these limits If put up
with post each fourteen to sixteen
feet will prove satisfactory for sheep.
If a thirty-inch woven wire is used,
1t should have at least one barbed
wire on top OF it, 1t usually pays to
put one or two barbed wires on top Of
the woven wire. however, as this will
make a fence that will turn horses and
cattle as well as sheep.

holds the door, which position is
regulated by the screw or nail at the
lower inside edge of the catch. A
washer should be placed on the screw
(d) between the catch and the side OF
the nest to prevent this catch from
sticking. The guard (b) around the
catch keeps the nesting material
away from the catch. The length of
the catch which supports the door
and the triangular notch in the door
may be varied slightly for very small
or very large hens.

Place a washer on the screw between

each partition to hold the door when
the nest is closed.
If the nests are to be placed direct

top should be used on the next, except
for a five-inch strip of wood on the
