CONSTRUCTION OF NEST BOX
In Cold Climates Il Must Be Tight
and Warm Enough to Keep Lay
ina Hens Comfortable.

Where poultry houses are too small
to accommodate all the fixtures COM
fortably, some poultrymen practice
the plan of having the nest boxes out.
side Of the partition wall. The nest
box is made Is inches wide and the
same In height and as long as desired.
Partitions are placed to allow IL to
Is inches for each nest, according to
the size Of the breed kept. The nest
box is attached to the outside Of the
house with strong hooks and screw
eyes. The cover is hinged, and fitted
with a pitch sufficient to shed water
and is covered with roofing paper.
In cold climates the entire construc-
ton Of the nest box must be tight and
warm enough to keep the laying hens
comfortably when on the nest. In hot
weather the nest box cover can be
slightly elevated to afford ventila-
tion. In some cases this plan OF nest
box is quite convenience as well as
a saving of room, as the eggs can be
gathered outside the poultry house.

Furious German Cannonade at verdun
Fails to Move Foe, Despite
Heavy Losses.

London. April l2.-The battle around
Verdun is proceeding with unabated
fury. To the west of the Meuse d
bombardment of increasing intensity
is reported in the French official
communication issued Monday.
Fierce German attacks were deliv-
cred against the French front south
of the FORCES brook, but although the
Germans suffered serious losses, the
French line between LIE Mort liomme
and Cumieres remained unbroken.
Exceptionally heavy French losses
are reported by Berlin in connection
with the German advance south of
Haucourt, by which the Bavarian and
Silesian troops now occupy the
heights of the so-called Termiten hill.
Fifteen officers and G99 men were
taken prisoners, including numerous
recruits of the 1916 class. who were
captured unwounded.
British troops at st. Eloi capture
German trench and retake mine crater

SEEDING AND PLANTING TIME
Farmer Who Starts Just Little Behind
10 Almost Sure to Remain So
During Entire Season.

1t is quite an item to get all the
work done in good season on the farm.
Especially is this true of seeding and
planting.
OF course, there is danger of being
too early and the getting of the seed
in the ground while it is cold and
wet; at the same time, in great
many cases. the farmer who starts in
the spring a little behind will nearly
always be just a little behind all
through the season, and this means,
no matter how hard he may work, q
failure to secure the best results in
the end.

How to Fertiiixe.
The soil in the average backyard
Is not only lacking in plant food, but
also has been hacked until 1t is hard
and unyielding To loosen up such
soil and make it suitable for garden
produce requires that careful atten-
tion be given to its preparation. After
spading the Enclosure thoroughly, the
upper three inches should be made
fine with the use of hoe and rake.
Stones and rubbish should be removed
and clOds OF dirt broken. The surfaC e
should be marked OFF for planting In
conformity with the general plan Of
the garden.
Barnyard or stable manure is the
best fertilizer because 1t furnishes
both plant food and humus. An appli-
cation at the rate Of from 20 to 30 tons
to the acre OF well rotted manure Is
very satisfactory. This should be ap-
piled after blowing or worked with a
spade. and distributed evenly over
the surface and later worked in with a
hoe or rake. On many soils it is ad-
visable to apply commercial fertilizer,
especially phosphate. in addition to
the manure. An application Of 800 to
600 pounds Of acid phosphate to the
acre is usually sufficient. II addition
al potash is needed, which is often the
case with sandy soils. this may be eco
nomically supplied in the form Of
wood ashes. II the wood ashes are un-
leached they should be distributed
over the garden, using 1000 pounds to
the acre. II they have been wet. or
leached, 1000 pounds should be used.
An application of 100 pounds to the
acre of nitrate OF soda may be used In
the spring to start the plants before
nitrogen in the manure has become
- A. H. -
that commercial fertilizers will not
yield good results unless the soil Is
we'll supplied with humus. Sod or
other vegetation which has overgrown
a garden spot may be used to advan.
tage. 1t should be turned under with
a plow or spade and will aid in light
ening the soil and providing humus.
