The nests are built in units of six
or more, whichever is the most con-
venient size. and arranged so that the
hens enter from the side toward the
rear wall. A platform or narrow
shelf is installed for the birds to alight
upon before entering particular
compartment. Each nest should be
about fourteen inches square, with
q partition between, to give the struc-
ture its rigidity, for 1t is built of very
nght material, preferably half-inch
white pine siding or similar lumber
The side from which the hens enter
is left open, except for a strip about
three inches high, to keep the nest
ing material in its proper place. The
side exposed to the interior of the
mouse, and from which the attendant
gathers the eggs, consists of q hinged
lid as shown, arranged to operate with
the greatest facility. Broody hens are
also removed through the front
The batteries or sections, each of
which should be light enough for one
man to handle conveniently, are sup
ported by light wooden hangers, made
from Lin Pin. stuff, and hinged to
the under side of the dropping boards.
Ihe sections are removed by swing
ing the hangers slightly to one side.
nc advantages OF thlS method are
numerous. There are no supports to
obstruct the floor area, and nothing
to interfere with the distribution of
the litter; the nests are located in
the darkest part of the house and
where there is the least traffic or dis
turbance. To clean them, the easiest
way is to remove the nests outdoors,
uump out their contents, wash or
spray them, place them in the sun O
dry, refill with straw, excelsior or
other nesting material and return
them to their proper places. 1t is
impossible for the fowls to perch upon
the top of the nests, and if it is
round they show an inclination to
foost inside, though this is not likely
because the nests are so much Lower
than the roosts, and we know that
chlckens always seek the highest
perch, lids similar to the fronts can
be hinged on the rear side.

stand on the question of the right or
Americans to travel on merchant ships
of belligerent nations. The statement
that he now favored the passage of a
bill barring American citizens from
such vessels, which was published to-
day, was denied by Secretary Tumulty.
The president stands just where he
always stood on that question" said
Mr.. Tumulty.
President Wilson spent an hour and
a half in Chicago today en- route to
Milwaukee, where he speaks this after
noon. The train bearing the presi-
dents party arrived at the La Sale
street station shortly after 5 O'Clock
and was switched through freight
Yards to the Northwestern terminal,
where the president remained until
his special departed at 10 a. m.
At the Northwestern station the
president and Srs. Wilson posed for
photographers and took a short walk
on the platform.
At both stations crowds numbering
several thousands stood outside the
gates and clamored for sight of the
executive. President Wilson appeared
on the observation platform and lifted
his hat TO the crowd, but Mrs. Wilson
remained inside the car.
While the president was standing on
the rear platform shortly before the
departure of the train sharp explo-
sion was heard, Secret service men
crowded to the platform and the presi-
dent, apparently somewhat startled
entered the car.
A cloud of escaping steam showed
that the connecting hose between the
rear coach and the one next forward
had burst The president soon emerg-
ed and. stepping to the platform, walk.

Chicago, Jan, S1.--Wheat prices took
a. upward swing today, Influenced by
Liverpool advices that. contrary to
predictions, shipments from Australia
and Argentina were light and were
not likely to be on large scale at
any time during February. Besides,
the amount OF wheat on ocean passage
showed a notable falling off as COM
pared either with the corresponding
time last week or a year ago. 1t was
said also that reports of reselling on
the part of European buyers had been
greatly exaggerated. Opening prices,
which ranged from "a to 12c lower to
3 to lac advance, were followed by
substantial gains all around
A break in the New York stock mar
ket led afterward to a decided re-
action. There was much talk of the
possibilities of International compli-
