COVERING FOR SITTING HENS
Combination Nest Box and Runway 10
Easily Constructed-Roof Should
BE Three Feet Wide.

Take this nest box and runway com
bination by using five by IL boards to
make the frame and partitions. Place
these 1 by 12s from 1S to "a inches
apart according to the width wanted
for nests and runways. The roof for
the nests should take up about three
feet of space; that is, in width. The
remainder Of the space is covered with
chicken netting over the runways. The
roof Of the boxes is made as shown in
the diagram, writes Mrs. Maggie l..
Long of Hammond, Okla, in Farm
Progress. The back half of the roof is
hinged, and this may be left open and
used by laying hens until the time
comes to put them on eggs.
When used for sitting hens, the
door is closed and food and water
placed in the runways through an
opening in the netting, where it is

There come to US very frequently

thing cannot be done about it," says
Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis. National w.

went to the bottom of the ocean un-

have him back home polluted and
tainted from drink and sensuality."
Much Is being done by the authorities,
military and legislative, in response to
appeals from mothers of the country.
THAT the saloon and brothel shall be
done away with in military centers is
a foregone conclusion" says Mrs. Ellis.
'The United States government heard

ALL SCOUTS SHOULD CAMP.

Out-of-doo- activities are fundamen-
tai in scouting. Only in the Scout
camp can the Scout attain his high
est ambitions and the scoutmaster his
fullest influence.
Nothing but insurmountable difficult
ties should prevent any troop from
having the privilege Of spending
week at least in the open.
The camp may be co-Ordinated with
gardening or crop gathering. A few
hours day of productive labor will
be worth while and will stimulate the
appetite for recreative activities. Cut

like leaving the yeast out OF the bread.
