Genuine Happiness,

A fact concerning modern religious
activity, which seems to have escaped
general remark is that Christians
know better how to play than ever
before. In the normal times of re-
cent years visitor at one of the sum
mer conferences of the student Young
Mems Christian association, for in
stance, would be surprised and de-
lighted at the hearty good times which
the delegates enjoyed. Christian En-.
deavor, too, has taught young people
how to play. The whole conception
of recreation and its place in life has
received new attention Of late years
Anybody who is seeking for it NAV
find abundant evidence that there is
more genuine happiness and intelli-
gent pleasure among Christians than
among the followers of frivolity.-

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 ii 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
forty-two inch es high with from five
TO nine horizontal wires and sixteen to
twenty stays to the rod Any fence
coming inside these limits if put up
with a post each fourteen to sixteen
feet will prove satisfactory for sheep.
II thirty-inch woven wire is used,
It 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.

FIXED IT IN HER MEMORY
ingenious Method by Which Lawrence
Hutton Cured Waitress of Her
ForQetfuIness.

The late Lawrence Hutton used to
say that having to take a little trou.
Bile would impress a fact on anyone's
memory so that he would never be
able to forget 1t. In illustration he
would tell this story:
Our waitress, Maggie, could never
remember to put the salt on the table,
and time after time Mrs. Hutton would
remind her to do it. One morning it
was absent, as usual, and | said, Mag
gle, where is the stepladder?'
It's in the pantry, sir
Please bring it In, Maggie, / said,
kindly.
Maggie brought 1t In with a look
OF wonder on her face.

SO | added, Now, want you to climb
up to the top of it, look all over the
table and see If there is any salt
there

PLANT PEAR TREES IN ROWS
Good Distance Is Fifteen by Thirty
Feet-Object Is to Obtain Larger
Yields of Fruit

A good distance for planting stand.
ard pear trees is Is by 80 feet; that
Is, the rows are 80 feet apart and the
trees 10 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 in the
entire orchard at distance of 80 feet
each way.
This system has the advantage O.,
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

Attach narrow strip to the front

each partition to hold the door when
the nest is closed.

A trap nest is a laying nest so ar
ranged THAI 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 tc
the nest used at the Connecticut
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
place in mass selection for increas-
ing the egg productions 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. y should be
provided for four to five hens kept in
focSs Of fifty or more, while more trap
nests per Zen are necessary in small
Ell 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 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
