CHEAP COOP FOR BACK YARD
Inexpensive House Will Prove En- tlreIy Satisfactory Where Small
 Flock 10 Kept.

It is not necessary to spend much money for housing if you are going to keep 8 small flock of hens in your back yard Indeed, 1t Is unwise, say poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. One or two plano cases or large packing box may often be made into an acceptable home. But whatever you build should be made dry and free from drafts, and have good venti- lation. The United States Department of Agriculture has numerous bulletins giving directions for this kind of con struction, and any of these are avail able for the asking, or for very few cents where charge is necessary A card to the division of publications, United States Department of Agricul- ture, Washington, D.

EGGS PRESERVED WITH LIME
Will Be Found Quite Satisfactory Where Water GIass Is Diff
 fcut to Obtain.

If water glass is not obtainable, lime may be used for preserving eggs, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. It is not considered so good as water glass, as in some instances eggs preserved by this method have tasted slightly of lime, although at other times lime water has proved entirely sastifac- tory.
 To preserve with lime, dissolve two pounds of unslaked lime fin small quantity of water, and dilute with five gallons of water that has previ- ously been boiled and cooled. Allow the mixture to stand until the lime settles. then pour off and use the clear liquid. Place clean, fresh eggs in a clean earthenware crock or jar, and pour the clear limewater into the yes sel until the eggs are covered. At least two inches of the solution should cover the top layer of eggs.

KILLED WIFE TO END AGONY
Hriton Gassed Woman He Loved, h. curabIy III, and Then Ended
 His Own Life.

",The doctor gives anesthesia to hopeless agony. The soldier spares a thrust or shot to a wrlthing com rade Any decent man shoots his women folk to save them from dis honor"
 Such was the explanation made by T.. K. Eardiey for killing himself and his wife in their little cottage at Scarborough, says an English ex- change.
 Mrs. Eardley was a hopeless invalid, and her disease had developed to the point where 1t became necessary to place her in home for the mentally afflicted. In the letter from which the extracts above are made, Eardley said:
 For two years now my wife has lived in hourly torment. Her condi- tion grows daily worse. I can do notll- ing more for her; my will to live and win is broken. There Is nothing be- fore her but the madhouse, without even the alleviation I have been able lp btihS-
 However human law may regard the matter, my conscience 1ustifies me; indeed, should live coward i'll my own esteem if I failed her in this extremity"
 Even in his sorrow Eardley thought of those who would discover the trag edy, and in the letter he wrote to the friend telling him of his determine ton. he added:
 "The bodies of myself and my deal wife will be found together in the lit tie dressing room. Great care must be taken in entering the house; the dressing room aud communicating bedroom will be full of gas.'
 After hearing all the testimony and the reading of the letter the jury found that the dead man took his own life and that of his wife while he was temporarily of unsound mind anf added an expression of sympathy witf the relatives.

ENTRANCE ROADS FOR FARMS
Engineers of Bureau of Public Roads Give Advice on Application of
 Bituminous Material.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Owners of large farms and rural estates seeking 6 more satisfactory type of entrance road have applied to the bureau of public roads of the United States department of agricul- ture for advice regarding the applica- ton of bituminous material on main entrance and much-trayeled farm lanes.
 The bureaus engineer point out that such applications may be made successfully on any farm road which has already been constructed of stone, gravel or other similar material, and Is in thoroughly competed and req sonably smooth condition. A coal-tar preparation applied cold, or an asphal- tic oil, can be used and if applied by the farm employees, the cost should not exceed seven or eight cents a square yard for materials. The com pacted gravel or stone road should be thoroughly cleaned of dust and the bitumen applied with ordinary sprink- ling pots from which the perforated nozzle has been removed and the spout carefully fiattened into a symmetrical rectangular opening about one-quarter

and pens, and these buildings to the killing house. The pens in the houses, the outside yards, and the arrange ment of the buildings should be planned so that the ducks may be cas- fly driven from house to house as de sired. 'The feed room or house should be centrally located.
 Convenient watering arrangements are essential where large numbers of ducks are kept, as they require large amount of drinking water, say poultry specialists of the United States De partment of Agriculture While ducks may be kept successfully under very intensive conditions, 1t Is advisable to allow considerable yard space. Double yards, which may be rotated and planted to quick growing crops, such as oats, wheat and rye, are good for intensive duck farms.
 It Is advisable to have pond or stream for the breeding ducks as they usually give better > fertility under these conditions, although on some successful duck farms the ducks are always kept on dry land. The young green ducks on some farms which have a pond are not allowed to go into the water except to bathe and clean their feathers just before marketing. Other growers, however, allow the green ducks free access to ponds or streams until they are marketed.

 Duck farms are usually located on light. sandy soil. preferably on sloping land, where the droppings will leach freely into the soil, so that the land keeps sweet and clean. The farm should have good shipping facilities to aid both in shipping products and in buying supplies. The arrangement of the buildings should be planned to economize labor and allow for future increase of the equipment.

 of an inch wide, so that the material may be poured in a broad, fiat stream. If a large amount of work is to be done, a specially designed pouring can may be purchased of dealers In road equipment Care should be taken to have an even distribution, and the quantity applied should be approximately one-half gallon to a square yard Of road surface. After applying the bituminous material clean gravel or stone chips should be spread evenly over the surface, and if possible, rolled with lawn or field roller. Where gravel or chips are not available, clean, coarse sand will serve as covering material. It should be spread in sufficient quantity to pre- vent the bituminous material from ad- herring to tires of passing vehicles Attention is called to the fact that this treatment should not be made where drainage from the stables or barns will flow over it. Where mud holes are likely to form around hitch ing posts or at stable entrances, if a more durable pavement is desired, a section of concrete slab should be laid.

CROOKS in sing sing
ROB IT OF $4,000
Forgers Steal Blank Checks
From Office and Get Cash
i'm New York.
8 PUT IN SOLITARY CELLS
Prison Defrauded for Third
Time in Four Years by It's
Trusted Workers.

Convicts in Sing Sing Prison have
stolen blank checks from the prison
offices, forged the signatures Of War
den Lewis <. Lswes and others and
cashed them in New York city and
elsewhere to the extent of more than
$4,000
Warden Lawes said last night that,
pending an investigation into the for
geries, he had placed George Liljewall,
"Frenchy" Levine and ]. 0. Bennett
in solitary confinement. He refused to
make any statement until he has COM
pleted his inquiry.
The forgeries we're said to have
been remarkably well done, and were
discovered only when Agent Winter
steen of the State Comptroller's Office
noticed a slight discrepancy in the
writing of Warden Lawes's name on
check. He notified the warden. The
three men locked up had been work
ing in the warden's office and had had
access to the blank check book.
The New York T-orlce Department
has been notified and will endeavor to
locate the checks which have been
cashed in this city. All were said 10
have been sent away from the prison
within the last two months.
The blank checks used at the prison
are kept in the Sing Sing branch of the
Comptrollers office, of which David
Vail, n civilian clerk. is in charge. In
spection of the check book showed that
several blanks had been torn from the
back. These were made out for various
amounts payable to persons or hrms
with which the prison has done busi-
ness and to whom the prison owed
money. Thus 1t was supposed that when
they came back marked paid they would
excite no comment and the forgery
would not be discovered until the per-
son whose endorsement had been forged
made complaint that he had not re-
ceivcd his money. One OF the men whose
name was forged to checks is J. Fl. Por-
ter who has sold to the State various
supplies for the Sing Sing shops.
This is the third time in four years
that crooks accustomed to handling
forged checks outside have turned their
talents to account inside the prison. The
other crimes were committed when w.
H. Meyer or Edward V. Brophy held
the post now occupied by Warden
Lawes. and on these occasions the State
lost. The other two times. however. the
thefts were committed by inserting boz
gus invoices in stacks of genuine ones.
