All Metal Continuance Has Been
Invented by X. NJ. Jensen
and G.. B. HuSchke

Two Morgan men, X. M. Jensen
and c. B. Huschke, have contrived a
sanitary hens nest and roost, which
they have patented, and are about to
put on the market.
Already representatives of the San
itary Chicken Roost and Nest Co.,,
which the new firm styles itself,
have called on number of dealers
and secured their orders for nests.
No trouble has been experienced in
interesting dealers in the new inven-
tion and if they find favor equally
as well among the farmers and
other chicken raisers a thriving in
dustry will be built up.
At first the nest will be sold and
when the market for that has been
well established the patented roost
will be put on the market.
The nest is made almost entirely
of metal, and is practically indestruc-
table. 1t is made largely of sheet
iron, although the front and back of
the nest is supplied with wire instead
of sheet iron if preferred. There is
a rubber bottom which is replaceable.
Forming part of the nest, under
meath and to the front, is a wire bas-
ket to hold the eggs. The eggs roll
into the basket as they are laid by
the hens. They cannot become brok-
en-, or damaged nor dirty. The cover
to the basket when lifted up serves as
a door to the nest so that child can
gather the eggs without danger of
being picked by the hen in the nest.
1t is said that mites cannot live on
the rubber bottom, hence these nests
will promote more healthy conditions
for the hens and should tend to in
crease egg production.
The metal and wire roosts which
will be placed in the chicken house
away from the walls will also make
for better sanitary conditions among
the flock.
The contrivance is made in combin-
ations of four or six nests.-Morgan
Messenger.

WAS DEC. COLD?
NOTE THE RECORD
HAVRE STATION FIGURES FOR
48 YEARS PIN CHILL
MEDAL ON 1927

The coolest December in 48
years, accepting the records of
the Havre weather station as rep
resentative of this region. There
was no sensationally low tempera-
ture but it was the average that
busted all records. The greatest
degree OF cold was experienced on
the 7th and 31st-33 below. The
temperature went below the zero
mark on 23 of the 81 days and
the mean average daily tempera-
ture was IL above. This is 1872
degrees BELOW the normal aver
age for the other AZ years record
ed.
There was only one year that
gives December '27 a close run for
the ice studded championship belt.
That was 1884 and it was a frac-
tion of a degree warmer. But old
1884 carried off the head prize
for the coldest day of all time
so below The following year,
1885, brought the warmest day re-
corded in December in the 4S
years with 6S above. So you see
this north pole stuff is probably
over for another As or so years.
For all it's coldness, December had
60 per cent of sunshine with ID
clear or almost clear days.

McCONE COUNTY
HAS MOISTURE
RECORDS SHOWS AVERAGE OF
18 INCHES PRECIPITA-
TION ANNUALLY

Ed Schillinger, cooperative OBJ
server, U. S. dept. of Agriculture,
has a weather station at his farm
just north of Vida, established
last spring. Ed is not interested
in temperature records. While
other people were chattering
about the biting cold and deep
snow, he was thinking in terms
of precipitation.
Mr.. Schillinger's January 1st re-
port contains figures that look
good for McCone county, not only
for 1927 but for the average of
the 27 last years. The report fol
lows:
The precipitation for 1927, be-
ginning May 1st to Dec. 31st, to-
tailed 1850 inches.
The precipitation for each
month was as follows: May, S.14;
June, 1.15; July, 1926; August, 2
90; Sept, 2.21; Oct, 1.16; Nov,
lao; and Dec, 219 inches.
Since 1900, according the Gov
ernment record of McCone county,
an average of 1889 inches of
water fall per annum moistened
McCone county earth.
The heaviest waterfall of any
one month recorded since 1900,
was in June 1921, when 1896 in
ches of rain flooded McCone coun-
ty.
Here are the records of the fol
lowing years: 1906, 25.01 inches;
1907, 23.10 inches; 1908, 24.61 in
ches; 1911, 21.44 inches; 1914,
29.74 inches; 1921, 2S.99 inches;
1924, 2O.56 inches.
The least precipitation of any
year since 1900, was 9.42 inches
for the year 1926.

TUCK DELAHUNT BACK
MTNN. WINTER TOO COLD

Tuck DelaHunt has come back

but they're alternating just now,
buried beneath about four feet of
snow on the level, and something
like ten where it's drifted. There
Old Dobbin is coming into his own
once more There is so much
snow that cars and trucks can't
run, so farmers teams are called
into service for delivery work in
the towns. And there is plenty
of delivering to be done-especial-
ly of coal. Everybody hollering
for it at once. And it takes three
men on every load OF coal-two
to shovel out the chutes and the
third to shovel out the coal. There
may be nothing much doing, but
it takes a lot of people to do it
this weather. No chance for un-
employment to flourish, with the
people having to dig themselves
out of their houses after every
SnowStorm.
In the Twin Cities, things are
even worse than in the small
towns. There's more traffic. The
traffic is bad enough when it's
moving right along, but when it
gets stuck in a snow drift, it's
awful. Ordinarily, it takes the
street cars about an hour to make
the trip between Minneapolis and
st. Paul. Not so this winter. If
you get through in double the
time you're lucky. At every other
street crossing there's apt to be
a truck stuck in the snow, milk
wagon or a load of coal or some
thing. Street cars stop until it
appears certain that the truck
isn't going to get started, then
