carelessness takes the place of thorough ness
 In this article we have taken up the subject of nests, their construction and arrangement which is illustrated by working diagrams of a few simple con- trivances.
 Experienced poultrymen appreciate the importance of having nests easy of &C., cess and in a convenient position. They should frequently be cleaned and sprayed and the nesting material replenished, otherwise it will be impossible to secure clean eggs, or to keep the birds free of vermin, lice and mites. Furthermore, the nests should be built so that it is convenient for the attendant to remove any sitting hens, for unless broodiness is promptly broken up, there will be q serious falling off in the egg yield. Dur ing the matching season, especially on farms devoted to egg production, it is necessary to go oversall the nests every night and remove all hens showing any inclination to sit, therefore, unless the nests are suitably arranged, this detail in the daily routine will consume a great deal of time and is likely to prove a severe tax on ones patience.
 It is also important that the nests be protected against the fowls roasting in them or on top of them, thereby soil- ing them unnecessarily, which the birds are prone to do especially if the nests are located higher than the perches. The

 That we ask of every munition plant In the United States to give it's em- ployes one day of rest in seven, prefer ably Sunday.
 That we not only indorse a general half-holiday of one of the six days of the week for physical rest, preferably Saturday. as tending to better obsery- ance of Sunday. but for the higher sake of the largest possible culture. we hope the time may come when brain and hand toilers shall have for their own use both Saturday and Sunday, one being day Of social recreation and the other day of worship"

encourage forgetfulness of invisible and eternal riches. We need, therefore, to stop at stated times, in homes and churches, to think of God and immortality and exercise our faith in other and inl- material values-values that will last for ever. But if our Sabbath observance does not make us better Christians the other six days. there has been no true Sabbath keeping"
 The commission recommended:
 That, affirming our protest as to the present conditions of society, which de- mand of 4,5Oo.oc0 of our people to work continuously throughout seven days in every week, we pledge our support to all measures looking toward the provi- sion of one day of rest in seven for brain and sand toilers.

Faulty Nest Construction Is
 Responsible for Vermin, Filth and Other Troubles. Ideal Nests Are Easy to Clean, Easy of Access, Convenient and Secluded
By ROBERT ARMSTRONG Expert POultryman and Writer

When considering the comfort of the birds and the convenience of the care taker, the interior arrangement of poul- try house is almost as important as the construction of the building. If the in- terior fittings, notably the nests and perches, are inconvenient and of such a character that the performance of ones work is made unnecessarily tedious and laborious, it is quite likely to have T
 demoralizing effect upon the attendants interest and ability. In consequence, some of the routine chores are very apt to be overlooked or sighted, and in due time

FIVE-DAY WEEK IS. BY A. CHURCH COMMITTEE.
Recommendations Are Con- tained in Report Sub mitted at Meeting in
 Session at St. Louis

St. Louis, December e.-A "five-day in- dustrial week. was suggested and hoped for in the report of the commission on Sunday observance submitted today at the quadrennial meeting of the federal council of the Churches of Christ in America The report reads
 Tn such times as these in which we live it would seem as if a five-day in- dustrial week ought to be adequate to the making of a good living, and that two days might be given definitely to the making of a good life. As our higher life does not consist in the abundance of the things that we possess, is it not reasonable for us to have two days of the week for rest, recreation, self-culture, social service and public worship? We are told that this general question is re- ceiving no little attention in the busi- ness and industrial world.
 ''The toll and stress of six working days tempt thousands of good people to vel come the seventh as a day of rest and recreation, rather than a time for pub lie worship and other Christian activities. The wonderful progress of science in the realm of physical forces and the rapid increase in the worlds s possession of ma terial goods and power are allowed to ~-~~~~~~~-~~-~-~-~-~~~~ Nothing harbors a pestilence of vermin- lice and mites-so readily as filthy nests, and nothing is so destructive to egg pro- duction.
 In houses intended for the heavier breeds, where the dropping boards are erected so close to the floor there is no room beneath for nests, the nests may be installed against the end walls or against partitions, in tiers three or four high, as shown in the sectional diagram of Fig 4. The shelves are built permanently, about B inches apart, and deep enough to af- ford passageway for the hens in the rear. The nests consist of a framework similar to that described for Fig. 3, and are fitted with hinged boards or fronts. whence the eggs are removed. By this plan great many nests are installed within a small compass. Fig is a plan view of this arrangement, and Fig A partial view of the front elevation
 Women have always been successful With poultry; in fact, most farm flocks come under their care. It Is in a wom- ans nature to render the kind of special attention and painstaking work that poul- try raising requires. Their success with chicks is notable. As aids on large plants they are invaluable. Next weeks ar- ticle tells about the opportunities offered women in this line.
