Many of the troubles that 'we
see coming down the: road- toward
our farm ;pass by f without stop
ping.. " ": .
When hoops come off barrels,
hoop them with wire Cheaper
than buying new barrels and any
body cau do it.pg . .,
The man' who puts a lot of older
in his cellar to get hard is' laying
up for his boys something that can
not be kept in barrels.
v The.windy todays of spring are
here. Battle a leg chain down
the chimney and get the soot but
before it burns out, and mayb
burns the house, too.
Two good eyes to a hill of pota
toes are a-plenty. We make ca
mistake maii'y, times in. seeding
too heavily. Good stocky shoots
are Letter than spindling'ones.
Burn'all athe,oId' brush., heats
now and get rid of a thousand and
onepeBts that have had their
home there waiting for warm
weather to briug them into activ
ity again. j
Keep the boys from fooling with
any of the farm animals. Joking
with calves or colts will surely
bring jokes that make us laugh
out of the other corner ef our
mouths.
Neigh oors may save a nice bit
of money by putting their orders!
together and buying a large quan
tity of grass seed, "or other farm
necessaries. Nice to think tha
farmers have confidence in each
other to do that.
Don't writ till the last minute
to polish up that i rusty old plow
or to get new bolts,-' or to grind
the mowing machine knives. Pre
paratory licks in time blaze the
way to final success. -Delay is a
dragging anchor.
It is easy to break a good ham
mer handle in drawing a long
nail. After starting the nail out
an inch or so, just place a bit o
wood under the head of the ham
mer, raising it up say an inch
and you can pull your nail easily.
Dear brother, when your iwife
asks you for a little spending
money, don't draw a wry face as
though she had trod upon' your
corn. Just sneii out .witn a smiie,
remembering all the while that
the half of what you have is hers
by right.
Most folks throw away their
felt boots when holes come in the
feet. Just cut the feet off and
draw the legs on above your shoes
when you have a cold job-to do.
Those boots have not -outlived
their usefulness when the feet give
way. Try it and see.
T How natural it is hen one man
makes a pretty good thing of any
lone crop, lor everyooay to rusn
in and try to do just as he has
Idone! The best way. though, is
to take it steady. If you do yen
ure into a strange crop, do it
onservatively. ; The middle
burse is always best in all snch
things., ; .
The farmer should hustle
around in early spring, order new
tools and fix up old - ones. - In
many local ities the blacksmith is
over-burdened in repairing farm
ing "tools just at; the; time; tin
tools 1 are needed for spring work.
Not having implements ready! for
work at the - first opportunity
means a loss of several days in
getting in a crop. Let us be on
hand with the season. If we have
been hibernating during the win-
ter like the frog,: we had better
wake no and stir, around some
.rookiiinhVii J ournal.

cle are self regulator When once set
they require no more attention through

lay enters nest' at the lower opening.

.on .entering thej box, or reception
apartment the first time in search of
a nest is. as sure, to want to see what
is over behind thi partition as daylight

ing a place of seclusion and r little
darkness. On seeing the nest over be
hind the partition she jumps upon the
partition board to get over in the nest,

and the shutter lowers and closes the
entrance door. The weight of the shut
ter in coming down carries an elevator
board up in the reception apartment to
about on a level with the partition
board. This elevator board is always
down when the-entrance door Is open
and always up when the entrance door
Is closed. When the hen has laid and
is ready' to come off she sees the
screened opening above the entrance
door as the only place of exit in fact,
thinks she came in at this opening
and when she steps on the elevator
board to come out at screened opening,
as she thinks she will, her weight car-
rles the elevator down and brings the
shutter up, when the little spring
catches the shutter and she walka out
where she came in, leaving the nest
open for the next hen.
The upper opening is screened and
serves to give ventilation and light
The nest, or box, is 12 by 24 Inches
and 24 inches high. The front half of
the box Is the reception room, and the
rear half is the nesting apartment.

of the theft' and, with his usual
diligence got busy with the
'phone lines, wich stretch now in

four miles inrth of Cleveland,
but that the party who had driv

of the x oon veisation over the

He is believed to be a young man,
about 18 to 20 j ears of age, who
was arrested on the Spencer yards
about 15 days ago for hoboing
and, who had been released with
in the past day or two. The mes
sage stated that the officers start-;
