(By MYRON C. SAFPORD, in the Farm and Fireside.) I think I have studied out and made a perfect combined nesting and roost ing box. The nesting-boxes are of easy access, and at the same time so secret as to please the hens, and make them very secure from the hens learn ing that pernicious habit, so often learned in the winter, of eating their egg. The roosts are in a position to allow all possible access of fresh air without draft, and at the same time al low protection from a severe cold night. The third important advantage lies in the fact that it is made so much in sections as to be moved with ease. Every part is perfectly accessible, so as to be easily oiled or whitewashed, to prevent and remove disease or lice. The foundation is a bench (A) 15 inch es high, which allows the hens to use the floor space underneath, so that is not wasted; 25 inches wide, and as long as desired, conforming to the space available and fowls to use it; remember, the nests (E) should be 15 inches square, so the length should be an equal multiple of 15. The nest boxes should have a door (B) to turn down in front, with sufficient open space in cracks to allow the hen a lit tle light, and yet dark enough to en courage them in hiding their eggs, and also to discourage the idle hens from hunting after the newly laid eggs. You Kill note the hens enter an entrance Combined Roosts and Nests. (C) at back right (or left) hand cor ner, at the end and into an alley (D) that runs back of the nests (E) and opens into each. On top of the nest is a cleated coyer of matched boards that carries an open-faced box without top or bottom, that sets on the cleated cover and in turn supports a cleated cover. In this open box is placed a roost made of two poles nailed to one-by-three-inch strips 24 inches long for supports. At the front edge of cover Is fastened a piece of burlap, or strip of blanket, to turn down on very cold nights after the hens are at roost. Large fowls need a cleated board set slanting, in order to walk up to the roost. A small box should be set at the entrance of the nest-boxes. PROTECT THE YOUNG CHICKS Put Together Some Thin Boards or Slabs in Form of Crate With Fine Mesh Wire on Top. The illustration gives an idea how to build a yard for young chicks. Put together some thin boards or slabs in the form of a crate at least two feet high and tack fine mesh wire netting over the sides and top. A small door should be put in one side to allow Allen, C M. 38 acres $5 21 Cark, W W, 55 acres 2 70 Gooch & Burnett, 100 acres . . 4 50 Gooch. Joe. 8V acres 2 27 Hobgood.

Kadford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects.

A good front hall, four rooms, and a bathroom downstairs, ana tnree rather large bedrooms upstairs, is a brief description of the interior of the house shown in the accompanying de sign. Looking at it from the south east corner it appears especially well provided with verandas; and so it is. It is a regular summer resort in the summertime, but the verandas are not wide enough to darken the rooms much in winter. Some people have a horror of an overhanging roof to shut out the little light that nature pro vides between daylight and dark dur ing the fall and early winter months; but there is a possibility of designing a veranda so it will answer the pur pose intended without a correspond ing disadvantage. This is a good, big, square house as dimensions go in these days of high prices just the kind of house to sup port a good veranda. In fact, the long veranda gives an air of elegance to what would otherwise be a rather plain exterior. To save expense, the kitchen part is only one story in height, but the house is large enough then for an ordinary family of from four to six adults and children. A bedroom downstairs is liked by old persons because they object to. climbing stairs. This style of house hermits the building of a bedroom and bath on the first floor, and still pro vides for large living rooms conveni ently arranged- Putting the pantry away back In the northwest corner has the advan tage of coolness. You cannot have a pantry too cold in a house that is heated by steam, hot water, or warm air furnace. The arrangement of kitchen, dining room, and pantry must depend to a great extent on the way you want to keep house. If you use a big ice box and take ice the year round, you can manage without a cold pantry; but if you prefer to do ruined by building a new stable. When the fine building was finished, the old horses, harness, rugs and sleighs were not in keeping. He fancied they didn't look well in the new up-to-date stable; so they were sold, and he bought an entire new outfit. The stylish rigs re quired a stylish coachman which called for more style and before he got through with it he found.it neces sary to sell his fine property, and his pride was .such that he could not come dov.n to earth in his native town, so he moved away to a distant city. I don't know just where the moral comes in, but I suppose there is one somewhere if you hunt for it. I have seen a great deal of non sense in building.- What is very com mon in one section of the country is a rarety two or three hundred miles I 1 , I : f i fL &ro ROOM y: Ba Rocf EE I r?oa! , Second Floor Plan. distant. Red brick, for instance, Is common in one section, because the mixture of clay and sand used for brick burns red. In other sections the clays are yellow and the bricks are yellow. Well, as foolish as it seems the snob living in the red brick coun try sends away and gets yellow brick because he thinks it is more tony. At the same time another snob living in the yellow brick section sends away to the other place and gets red brick. Both men pay mere originally than Covered Yard for Young Chlcks.- operator to care for feed and water dishes. The wire yard should bo placed tight to the entrance of brooder or coon, and made secure at either side by hooks and staples. Thus the whole outfit may be easily detached, and moved about as the runs become stale, writes Charles R. Bushnell in the Farm and Home. You also have protection for the chickens from crows, hawks and cats, etc. SIX ROOM house on Spring street for rent. 2t J. W. HORNER. 7 S f WsWr 'I '"JSC ""r ' jhout ice during the fall, winter, and spring months, you want a pantry iike this, with an outside window looking to the north or the east, and you want this window protected by a very fine wire screen, so that you can !eave the window open both top and oottom and still keep out the flies and dust. It is difficult to estimate the cost of a house like this. It is large enough to require a great deal of material in the construction work. The cost of building materials varies a good deal in the different sections of the coun try, but there is a greater difference in the tastes of people building. Some are satisfied with an inside finish of ordinary wood that Is commonly got- Overby, Ben, 3 acres 3 90 Pearce, John, tow n lot 7 41 Richardson, Meta, town lot. . . . 5 64 Rogers, Stephen. 3 acres 2 38 Smith, James H, town lot ... . 7 20 Smith, Thos W, ton lot 2 03 Smith & Daniel. 119 acres 7 79 Taborn.Henry.town lot 8 60 Thorpe, Andrew, 2 town lots . . 15 09 Thorp, George, town lot 8 14 Washington, Jane town lot. . . . 3 26 Watkins, Joe. 7 acres 13 32 White, Wm, 1 1-3 acres ...... 4 76 Young, Levis. town lot 8 06 Field, Alex, town lot 6 18 McGhee & Burt, 260 acres 14 78 I awe xoert u the brick would cost at home, and they pay freight and extra teaming, besides a couple of profits; and the loss from breakage is considerable. But their pride is satisfied, and they puff out quite chesty when some igno rant person admires their good taste. With good managemont, however, and a disposition to take advantage of circumstances, home prices, and heme talent, this house should be built in a very satisfactory way for $2,500 or $2,600.

"James," she said in a low voice, "in case of of anything happening to me, I think a man of your tem perament and domestic nature should marry again, both for your sake and for the sake of our children." James dashed the moisture from his eyes ere replied, "Do you think so, my dear?" The woman weakly nodded. "Certainly I do," she said. "Of course after a decent interval." James' face brightened up. "There, my dear, that relieves my mind of a great burden!" he said gleefully. "The little widow next door has acted very friendly toward me since you have been ill. She's not such a fine woman as you are not so strong natured and intelligent but she is a pretty, plump little thing, and I think I'd better give her a hint." Next day the good wife was able to sit up. The day after she came down stairs. .And on the third day she went out for a walk and cut the "lit tle widow next door" dead! Answers.
