Two tiers of nests are placed against
the wall between these roosts at the
back Of the building. This roosting
method gives your flock chance to
divide during their roosting hours
without erowding. thus avoiding dan
gers from colds, etc.
A window is placed toward the front

to furnish light at the bottom of the
building where needed when fowls are
scratching for their food in the litter.
One door, placed as Indicated with
the open front two feet from the

no need of using muslin upon this

cold weather. The open front also fur

best possible system of circulation and

top as an outlet for impure air These
windows at the front near the top fur

and roost boards dry. You will note
that they come in Just the proper

Flying Bird Broke Window.

The great speed and force with
which birds fly was strikingly illus
trated the other day when a partridge
crashed through a large window in
a country residence near Red Wing.
Mimi. The window was glazed with
plate glass, one-fourth inch thick. The
bird, which weighed 20 ounces, was
found dead in the living room II feet
from the window. The impact of
its body broke hole in the heavy
glass about three feet in diameter.
This window is more than five feet
square and close to the ground. 1t
overlooks large lawn which at GER
tain times OF the day is very wildly
reflected in the glass. 1t is thought
that the bird was deceived by the re-
Election and supposed it was flying
through an opening when it met its
death. All but two or three very
small pieces of the broken glass were
thrown into the room.

FIGHT AGAINST BOIL WEEVlL
to Rapid, Thorough Cultivation
Keep Dust Mulch.

In all territory from south central
Georgia and western Florida westward
the boil weevil will this year be a fac
tor to be considered in cotton produc-
ton. Bear in mind that cotton can be
made under boll-weeyil conditions, but
during the first few years of invasion,
particularly in the lower half of the
cotton belt, the failures have outnum-
bered the successes about two or three
to one.
From May until August hard. close
fight should be made against this pest,
giving particular attention to rapid,
thorough cultivation Let no grass
grow under your feet, and likewise
keep good dust mulch.-Progress

TO BE EFFICIENTLY MARRIED
Course of Domestic Training for Bach

In the Woman's Home Companion

the writer lays down some rules for
a course of domestic training for bach
elors who are thinking of being mar
ried.

says, "a man should have a thorough
theoretical, and simple practical,
knowledge of plumbing, SO he can be
beyond the mercy of an ignorant or
dishonest plumber The upkeep of all
the furniture is your province; you
should be able to replace caster
automatically, or in your sleep put on
the pull of bureau drawer.

painter when floors or woodwork need
painting or man to replace panes
the smaller tinkering around the
house, any more than his wife should
hire woman to darn the stockings
or do the small mending.
"One of his most important duties
is to see that each window and door
is properly screened. He should keep
all the shades in proper order and see
that the windows work easily and
smoothly, also keep the locks of all
doors in perfect order. He should
have general knowledge of building
materials, so he will be able to advise

he is married to learn how to carve !"

THIS TABBY is REAL FISHER
Maryland Cat Wades Boldly Into
Stream In Search of Its
Prey.

Hancock. Mo, has a cat that fishes.
Different from felines that have been
known to stand on the bank and try
to grab fish with their claws, this tab
by wades boldly amidstream and
awaits prey.
Yesterday the cat was fishing in the
little creek that runs through Han
cock near the old Eastern or Gilleece
hotel property, emptying into the Po-
tomac through a culyert under the ca
nal at that point. The cat stood mo-
tionless for several minutes, and then
bounced on fish with both paws.
The fish jumped several feet out of the
water, its body shimmering in the sun
light. 1t was then readily caught by
the cat, which waded to the shore with
its dinner in its mouth. This particu.
lar tabby has obtained quite a repu,
tation as a fisher.
