Simple Outdoor Hutch.

to use metal hinges for the doors. The
partition may slide in a groove be-
tween the doors or may be put in and
taken out through one of the door
openings.
Outdoor hutches should have sloping
roofs and overhanging caves to protect
them from rain. The screened door
should have a sliding cover of wood or
be fitted with removable cloth cover.
Small holes bored near the top of the
hutch will afford all necessary ventila-
tion.
Movable hutches have some advan-
tages. They may be carried outdoors
In fine weather and taken back under
shelter at night or during storms.
Long, narrow cleats projecting at both
ends of the hutch are all that are
needed to convert the ordinary hutch
into movable one.
Courts.
A rabbit court may be paved or
foored, or it may be a grass court sur
rounded by rabbit-proof fence. Sleep
ing hutches inside the court may be
small boxes of any sort if they are
stout and waterproof. They should
have sliding doors to confine the rab-
bits If desired, and should also have
small holes near the top for ventila-
ton. If court is used, hutches will
still be needed for breeding does.
A rabbit-proof fence to inclose a
grass court should be made of heavy
poultry netting or feet wide and
of 11s-inch mesh. The posts, project
ing 3 or A feet above the ground.
should be well set outside the edge of
the court. The netting is stapled to
the posts, leaving a projection of 6
inches or more at the top and about 1s
inches at the ground, to be turned into
the court. The lower edge should be
covered with 10 or u inches of soil to
prevent the animals from digging out.
The upper edge also is turned inward
to keep them from climbing out.
Brackets at the tops of the posts make
the best support for the overhanging
netting, although horizontal pieces of
wood nailed to the posts will answer.

The Etiquette of the Case.

George Pfeiffer, a Muncie druggist,
has a daughter of seven years who is
having her first experience in school,
according to the Indianapolis News.
At the supper table the other evening.
the child said to her father, Papa, a
little boy in my room asked whether
he could take me home from school,
this afternoon"
''Well, what did you say?' asked the
parent.
''Why, I didn't say nothing" she re-
piled, 'ebut I did what any little girl
that hadn't been introduced would do
I slapped him in the face and then
| bit him on the finger"

carriage on long journeys by express.
Hutches and Pens.
The Belgian hare does not do well
when kept wild in open warrens. The
common English rabbit is better for
this purpose. A good many Belgians
have been turned out in various parts
of the United States, and in the vicin-
ity of the city of New York and on
the western coast this has resulted In
some complaints of damage to crops.
AS rule, however, and fortunately for
the farmers, these animals, when
obliged to shift for themselves, fall an
easy prey to their enemies and disap-
pear within a few months.
Belgian hares may be managed sue
cessfully In two ways: ~ Entirely
in hutches, or (2) in outdoor fenced
runs, or courts, with hutches for does
when having young, and sleeping
hutches for other stock. The hutch
! system with various notifications Is
the more common and is the only
method adopted by rabbit fanciers who
raise for show. The use of small runs
or RABBIT courts to give the animals
healthful exercise in fine weather is of
advantage.
The Rabbitry.
The rabbitry may occupy part or all
of barn or shed, or be built in a shell
tered space in the angle between
buildings or walls. The indoor rab.
bitry has decided advantages. The
place should be well ventilated, but
not subject to drafts of cold or damp
air. These may be prevented by venti-
lators in the roof, or by a system of
/ elbowed pipes passing through the
sides Of the building and reaching a
height of two or three feet above the
openings.
Hutches.
Hutches for the Belgian hare should
be somewhat larger than those intend.
ed for smaller breeds. They should
be built of good lumber, have tight
floors, and have at least II square feet
of floor space and height of two feet
If there Is plenty of room in the rab.
bitry it is best to have the hutches sep
arate; but they are usually set in tiers
or stacks, two or three in height. Each
hutch in the rank is complete in itself
so that its position may be shifted al
any time.
A convenient indoor hutch is one {
by 2 by 2 feet, with a movable parti
ton dividing off third of the space
at one end for a nest and sleeping
chamber. The partition has a smooth
hole to permit passage of the animal:
from one part to the other. The from
of the hutch has two doors, one of wire
netting, the other of wood. The wood
en- door opens to the sleeping cham
ber and should close tightly. 1t is bes

"FeminaiIs" Are Worn.

One of the packing houses in the
stock yards in Chicago has persuaded
it's women employees to wear what it
calls 'feminalls," another form of over
alls. The women at first objected, but
as so much machinery with belts and
other contrivances that are likely tc
catch in the dresses of women are
used, the managers persuaded five
women to try it, and it was then easy
for the rest to don the feminalls. In
this particular place 1000 women are
employed, about three times as many
as last year, and much of the worl
they do was formerly done by men.

KEEP IN VENTILATED CELLAR
Wet or Dry Place Is Not Good for
Veeetables-cabbage Kept Out
Doors Long as Possible.

Potatoes. carrots, beets, parsnips
and turnips need a moderately dry but
well-ventilated cellar. A wet or dry
cellar is not good place for keeping
vegetables. The ideal temperature is
few degrees above freezing. Cab
bage is kept out of doors as long as
possible. A good plan after harvest
ing Is to put the cabbage heads close
together, covering with straw and
later adding more straw and soil If the
winter promises to be very severe
Where conditions are moderately dry
cabbage keeps better with the roots
and stems left on.

CARE OF THE PLANTS

If plant appears sick, examine its
roots. Perhaps you will find that it
needs repotting. If dead or rotten
leaves are found remove them. If for
any cause live roots are removed
through design or accident be sure to
cut back the top to correspond. Then
give a smaller pot than the plant previ-
ously had.
