"PLAY WITH THE CHILDREN"
Fabled Fountain of Youth Could Not
Be more Potent Than Association
With Little Ones.
"Play with the children!" was the
recurrent advice of a wise and suc
cessful man. "This will keep your
heart young, your viewpoint fresh,
your wit sparkling. The child heart Is
at once the purest and the happiest
in nature; the child tongue is a
transfiguring power."
Something of this indubitable power
attaches to good stories of those naive
and innocent "little ones" scripturally
declared specially blessed and potent.
The child mind transforms, the child
touch lifts to glad laughter incidents
and accidents not otherwise worth
noting. Witness this little tale of the
careful mother to whom came a tiny
eon all agog over the acquirement of
new and forbidden knowledge.
"Mother!" cried the child, baby
eyes shining, baby cheek glowing,
"do you know what Til be hornswog
tfled' means?"
"No, dear," said the mother, sol
emnly, seizing the opportunity to im
plant a lesson. "I'm sure I do not."
"Well, I do," was the ecstatic an
swer, the suggested lesson being ut
terly ignored. "It means Just the
same as Til be gol-darned!' "
Yes, Indeed.

Trap Nest For Laying Hens.
The larger illustration shown gives
a fair idea of a trap nest that. anybody
can make in a little while with only
a hammer and a saw for tools. Of
course, if you have many hens you
will have to make several nsts to ac
commodate all, and then all other
nests must be closed or torn up.
The trap nest has been quite an im
portant factor in building up strains
of heavy layers among most of the
popular breeds to-day. Using It, the
Trap Nest.
breeder, by a process of elimination
and culling each year, breeds from
only the best layers in hi3 flock. The
small fancier has been more success
ful along this line, as he has had only
a few hens and had more time and
cared more for his little flock.
The nest is made in two compart
ments. The box proper is fifteen
inches square by thirty-two to thirty
sis inches long. The hole or opening
between the compartments need not
j be round as pictured unless you care
to make it so, 'but it should be just
large enough for a hen to pass
through easily, and no larger. The
size of the opening will depend upon
whether you are raising a large va
riety or a small variety. A large
Nest Box.
stiff wire is bent in the shape indi
cated, and the part passing over the
opening is made to work freely up
and down like a lever and under wire
staples. When the hen starts to pass
under the wire to get into the nest
proper she lifts the wire arm up with
her back and thus the other wire arm
back from beneath the door, where it
has been held up under the lid of the
box, letting it drop in place. Blocks
are fastened in front of the door so
that the door can not be pushed out
and the hen can not escape, no mat
ter how hard she tries. The lid on
top may be made of two separate lids
or as one piece, as you please. With
a little experimenting on your part
yen can bend the wire just at the
right angle so that it will work per
fectly each time. The wire arm over
the opening should be placed high
enough so that the hep Mill naturally
want to pans under it instead of try
ing to step over it.
The first compartment should be
from four to six inches longer than
the drop door is high, so the door will
not strike the hen on the back as it is
released. (
Each hen should have an aluminum
or copper leg band en one of her legs
with a number on it. Then as you re
lease the hen you can put the egg
down to her credit if she has laid one
In the nest. Sometimes the hens will
enter the nest from curiosity, and es
pecially is this true when the system
is first installed, but, after they be
come used to it they will seldom enter
except to lay. To get the hena ac
quainted with the nest the door may
be propped up for several days.
The trap nest i3 excellent for sit
ting hens you can release the hen
to get her feed and trap the 'door, and
then after she goes back on the nest
she shuts the door after her and other
hens can not enter to bother her or
break her eggs. You can easily catch
the hen that is an egg eater with the
trap nest, as some of the broken egg
Till be found in the nest with her.

Cider Making.
The process of making cider is very
simple, but the way to keep It from
fermenting in this climate is another
question. Old and experienced cider
makers try time and again and fail.
After a short time it had passed the
hard cider stage and was on the
road to vinegar. The trouble Is no
doubt due to the climate.
All germs of fermentation seem to
thrive with us, and one germ in a
good medium, that is, material in
which germs delight to grow, will
soon destroy the material if the tem
perature is not kept very low. Cider
carefully made and boiled and put
into sterilized vessels will keep, if
perfectly sealed.
The boiling will destroy the flavor
for some people, but if the juice is
treated as unfermented grape juice
is before being put up, and the proc
ess carried out to the end as is done
vith grape juice, an excellent quality
of cider can be made and kept Indefi
nitely. Grape juice is slightly affect
ed at the boiling point, and the de
gree to which cider is affected at dif
ferent points is something on which
we are not posted, but there can be
very little change when the tempera
ture is kept below the boiling point.
The essential considerations are, to
keep the temperature about 190 de
grees for about twenty minutes and
never allow it to get up to 200 de
grees. Keep it corked tight for a
week or more, twenty days will be
better, heat Again to 175 degrees, but
do not allow it to reach the same
temperature as it did when heated
the first time, or there will be a de
posit of sediment.
The methods of making cider are
various. Some use a hand press and
some use power. This depends upon
the amount of cider to be made. The
essential thing is to get the juice out
of the apple, and a press is indis
pensable.
Cottonseed Meal For Horses.
Dr. G. S. Fraps, State Chemist of
Texas, at the A. and M. College, says:
Cottonseed meal has been used for
horses and mules at some places with
favorable results. The agriculturist
at the Vanderbilt Estate in North
Carolina said that he had fed work
ing horses and mules six days of the
week for three years on the follow
ing ration:
Thirteen to fifteen pounds of cured
hay and corn fodder, four pounds
wheat bran, two pounds cottonseed
meal and six pounds corn meal.
On Sunday he gave whole corn and
oats and uncured hay. It was stated
later on that the use of cottonseed
meal was not found satisfactory at
this place. 1
At the North Carolina Experiment
Station two old horses were fed for
two periods of twelve and eighteen
days and two and two and one-half
pounds of cottonseed meal respective
ly with four pounds each of corn meal
and ship stuff, and clover and timothy
hay. The animals ate the ration well
and gained well.
, A German experimenter' states that
draft horses do well on two pounds of
cottonseed meal a day.
Considering all these facts, I would
suggest to those who wish to use
cottonseed meal, .that they do not use
over two pounds per day. I would
not recommend cottonseed meal for
mares in foal. Rice Industry,.
Good Care Pays.
The harness and buggy may be
made to last twice or three times as
long by the judicious use of oil and
paint. I bought a cheap buckboard
and harness seven years ago. Twice
every year I took the harness apart at
the buckles washed it with soap and
then rubbed well with "neatsfoot oil,"
fifteen cents' worth. Every summer
when the wheels began to rattle be
cause of getting loose I got a half gal
lon of linseed oil and put in a crescent
shaped pan and boiled the "felloes"
of the wheels in the linseed oil. For
$11 bought enough ready mixed car
riage paint every summer and treated
the entire cart to a coat of paint. As
a consequence my cheap harness and
buckboard did almost daily service
for seven year3 and was then given in
part payment in buying another buck
board and harness. There were oth
ers who did not use oil and paint who
had three or four new sets of harness
and carts. Mrs. M. G. Adams, in the

AVaterways and Good Roads.
The custodians' of the pork barrel
n Congress, or, as they prefer to be
tnown, framers of the annual rivers
md harbors bill, have brought in a
neasure proposing to expend the com
ng fiscal year the sum of $52,000,
)00 upon waterways throughout the
:ountry.
Senator Burton, chairman of the
National Waterways Commission and
in undisputed authority, is vigorously
Ighting the proposition. He is
igainst piecemeal work, 'in the first
place, and, what Is of more impor
:ance, he is entirely opposed to many
f these Iridescent and impractical
projects.
No level-headed man objects, per
re, to the symmetrical improvement
f waterways in this country. Navi
rable rivers and harbors are indispen
jable factors in the equation of trans
portation. We must have them if the
levelopment of the nation is to pro
jeed unimpeded.
But legitimate waterways are on
Ihing, and pork barrel projects an
ther, and vastly different, thing. It
Is a safe bet that forty per cent, of
Ihis $52,000,'000 is political pork,
pure and simple, expressed in projects
to widen impossible creeks or dredge
hopeless harbors, neither of which
Bver can or ever will figure in either
local or interstate commerce.
If half of this year's proposed ap
propriation should be diverted from
theoretic streams and hypothetical
harbors and spent instead on national
good roads projects, we should exper
ience a national impulse toward pros
perity near incalculable.
Even conceding for the sake of ar
gument, that every penny of this fab
ulous $52,000,000 about the same
amount, by the way, thrown away in
ibsolete warships now going to the
scrap-heap is founded on reason, it
would still be incumbent on Congress
to provide at least proportionately for
good roads.
In, their most highly developed as
pects, waterways can only benefit a
fraction of America's population. De
cent highways throughout the nation
benefit every class of population,
stimulating rural and urban develop
ment, lessening the exorbitant cost of
living, increasing the national wealth,
o that In the near future the immeas
urable drain of such luxuries as bat
tleships and academic waterways will
bear less heavily.
It is the people's money that Con
gress la frittering away to reinforce
personal political reputations. To
day the people are demanding that a
portion of the sums taken from them
in taxes be spent upon good roads a
project interesting every man, woman
and child living and yet to be born in
this country. Editorial in the Atlan
ta Constitution.
Good Roads Vs. a Naval Scrap-Heap.
Warships of Uncle Sam to the value
of $50,735,789 are soon to go to the
crap-heap, according to Leslie's Week
ly, because in twenty years' time they
have grown worthless and obsolete.
Eleven protected cruisers, three un
protected cruisers, ten monitors and
a group of smaller and cheaper Ves-
isels authorized since 18S3, now go to
the naval cemetery, which means that
more than $50,000,000 is virtually In
terred. Styles and patterns in war
vessels change perennially. Should
these once sea terrors now go against
an ordinary enemy, they would be
knocked into mincemeat. Other and
more expensive types must take their
place.
Suppose half of that $50,000,000
had been spent upon .good roads
throughout America!
We should have had the foundation
of a national auxiliary transportation
system which would annually mean
hundreds of millions of dollars to the
farmers of this country, and to every
class of population in this country.
Unlike warships, good reads do not
deteriorate, at least not into worth
lessness. Men-of-war are built upon the ba
sis of hypothetical usefulness. Cood
roads are built upon a reality.
The Appian Way, centuries old, '
still stretches out from ancient Rome.
The Simplon Pass is practically as
smooth and firm as the day it waa
laid.
Men-of-war crumble, the stupen
dous fortune they represent vanishes,
while the mythical foe delays his com
ing. Good roads appreciate in value with
each month, pay their own up-keep
and return dividends amenable only
to the computation of the decades.
The more than fifty millions spent
upon these effete vessels is the pre
mium the nation pays upon a peace
policy. In moderation that is essen
tial. But a tithe of that enormous pre
mium spent upon a constructive pol
icy of highway development would In
its returns pay several times over the
co?t of. these decaying vessels in add
ing untold actual and potential wealth
to the wealth to the nation. Atlanta

WHERE HE SAW RESEMBLANCE
Apt Remark cf Small Boy Embar

Jimmie, who Is a very small boy
Jiving in the East end, accompanied
bis mother downtown several days
ago. Nearly everything he saw was
quite new to him, so he was not spar
ing in his comments and opinions and
questions. ' .
Seated opposite Jimmie and his
mother on the car homebound was an
Individual who, judging by the "blos
som" on his nose, had partaken freely
of joy water. None of Jimmie's neigh
bors possessed an appendage that
could compare with the one across the
aisle.
In silence Jimmie took in the situ
ation and the "blossom." His thoughts
must have grown so curious that they
could net be withheld any longer and
he finally blurted out in a loud voice:
"Mamma, Is that Santa Claus?"
pointing to the man with the red nose.
Embarrassed, Jimmie's mother tried
to silence her son, but it'was no use.
In an audible whisper the connection
between the man and Santa Claus was
disclosed much to the discomfiture of
the man. .
