The trap nest most commonly used by Danish poultry keepers, who have adopted this system very largely for improving the laying qualities of their fowls, is shown in the illustration. The nest, which may be built in sets or even in two tiers, stands upon legs, P F, two feet from the ground. The nest, A, can be placed either at the back of the box, as shown in the cut, or at one side of the trap. If used as a single nest the top, H, may be hinged, so that the hen can be taken out that way. When a hen wishes to enter she flies on to the lighting board, B, which is about three inches narrower than the entrance, leaving 14 inches clear space on each side. She walks along it to the rear, and in so doing tips the board which i3 hung on the pivot, E, down an inch or two to the stop, G. This raises the further end of the lighting board and releases the hinged support, C, which drops down and A Simple Trap Nest. raises the board, which swings into a perpendicular position and effectively closes the opening, D. These nests should be made 24 inches long and 15 inches square. TUB FEED BOX FOR POULTRY 8o Arranged That Twelve Hen Can Get Around Implement and Eat Without the Least Crowding.

The fowls cannot roost on them, and consequently they are always clean, and when not in use they can be stacked up in a corner out of the way. Smaller tubs or pails can be used for chickens. WASTED EGGS IN MINNESOTA Farmer Loses on Average Two Out of Every Dozen That Hen Lays Million Dollars Lest. Two eggs out of every dozen laid by Minnesota hens may be Bald to drop through the holes in the farm er's basket before they reach tho mar ket. In other words, while tho hen sees to it that every egg she lays ia worth taking care of, the farmer take3 proper care of only ten. The aggregate losa frcm this cause reaches over a million dollars annu ally. Nearly all thcae eggs may be saved by a better arrangement of poultry houses, a better system in collecting egge and by co-operation in quick marketing. Several egg asso ciations are showing ua how to do it. and some day nearly all that million dollars will nestle in tho farmer's pocket instead of colng to waste. Caro of Chicken Yard. The poultrv yard Ehould be plowed or spaaed up every two weeks or so. By exposing lre under toil to tho sun it keeps pure end '.he chicka enjoy It. Ever liotice that immediately the chlciicn yard ia rpaded up the birds bcnln to l'-tki dust hclos. How can the 7 do th'.3 on herd ground? H 1 D I m & cf NEW FORM OF POULTRY HOOK Does Away With Necessity of Havlnf Legs of Chickens Tied Together Easily Holds Two Birds. An improved form of poultry hook has been Invented by an Indiana man. Its advantage is that it does not ne cessitate the tying together of the fowls' legs nor the piercing of them by a pointed hook. Furthermore, more than one fowl can be hung on one hook. The device here shown consists of a shank with a forked end, each New Poultry Hook. member of the fork being formed with an open-sided loop and a bent mem ber projecting upward parallel with the shank. A ring at the top of this hanger provides for the passage of a rope or thin rod on which it can be moved backward and forward to any point desired. To hang up a chicken on this hook one foot la passed through each of the open loops, which are just narrow enough to keep the chicken's feet from Bllpping through, and thus suspend It. If there are not enough hooks to go around io that there i3 one for each fowl, two birds can be strung up on a hanger as easily as one. STORING EGGS ON THE FARM New Yorker Discusses Question cf In stalling Storage Plant for Keeping Product. 'If there is money for the specu lator in storing eggs, why isn't there money in it for the poultryman?" This is the way Charles T. Hatch, owner of the White Leghorn poultry farm at Waterville, N. Y., reasoned, with the result that he is making preparations to install his own cold storage plant. Recently he said to an editorial representative of the Ameri can Agriculturist, when visiting his farm: "The crime of the egg business is the practice of selling old eggs as fresh gathered. I may send a crate of eggs to New York the day after they are gathered and get no more for them than a neighbor who holds his eggs three weeks before shipping them. There should be a closer reg ulation of the sale of eggs. Recently in New York city I saw a sign in front of a grocery store offering 'fresh gath ered' eggs at less than the wholesale market had been for weeks. "I have quoted an increase in the demand for sterile eggs for consump tion. Fresh gathered eggs went into storage in New York during April at 24 cents per dozen. They will proba bly come out next December at 40 cents. I figure that it will cost me about $1 a case to carry my eggs in cold storage from April until Decem ber or January. Having my own cool er I can be certain that the cases are turned daily, so that the yolk will not stick to the shell. Figuring the cost of operating the cooler and the inter est on investment, I believe I will make good profit on storing 100 cases a month, which I gather on this farm during the spring laying season. By producing sterile eggs I will be able to build up an exclusive trade." Keep the poultry yards cleaned up and allow nothing that has been left uneaten by the fowls to accumulate and decompose. If the young turkeys prefer to roost in the big tree in the yard, let them. We all have to scratch when a mortgage ia on the place and the hen will do her share toward lifting it if you will let her scratch too. The advantage of an early molt Is to have hens all feathered out and strong and active before cold weather starts. Most hens lay irregularly during the molting process, and little can be done to remedy this state of affairs. Geese and ducks are noisy, but what's the difference as long as they can be sold at a good price? In order to ventilate the Incubator itself experienced users say that It should be put in a well ventilated room. The profit in ducks depends on how quickly they get their growth. They ought to be ready for market in ten weeks. It is a good plan to get the young chickens to roosting In the poultry house early, before they form other habits. I " TO EUPOPD I ." V.' ff.oP wx Is: II 'U i 1 1 - at a s CUT 22LZ JV28T VERY summer thousands of Americans make their initial trips across the Atlantic to tour Europe. Ail bad sailors know moment when it is best to seek the a chair and keep still, If the situ ation is to be saved. The man in the picture has reached this stage. All would probably be well had not the woman with the baby dropped the feeding-bottle. Her maid, in the back ground, is past hope. The man's duty is clear. But, then if he moves? One of the most interesting features of an American's first European tour is the comparison of transatlantic cus toms In hotel and railway with those of the land of the brave and the home of the free. Many things that to the seasoned traveler have become com monplace long ago strike the tourist on his initial trip as highly amusing. Col. Brotherton of Kentucky, for in stance, had been recommended to a quiet Italian hotel. Returning late from San Carlo, where almost every tourist goes on his first night in Na ples, he was amazed in passing along the corridor to see outside nearly ev ery door in addition to the boots on the floor sundry dress skirts and trou sers hung upon large branching brass hooks. A garcon who was sitting in the corridor tried in broken English to explain it was the custom for trav elers to leave the clothing they had worn during the day outside their doors to be brushed. But the colonel was incredulous. "Never saw any thing like it in America," he said. "Likely as not It's some sort of skin game, and all those fools will wake up in the morning and find their clothes stolen. Not I! Ill brush my own." Wouldn't Leave Her Key. Miss Clarissa Blythe of Vermont was perfectly astounded at having her chambermaid rush after her as she carefully deposited the key of her room in her beaded reticule, and ex claimed: "But, madam! Please leave your key beside the door. I must have it to go in and do your room." "But where is your passkey?" she demanded. "I have none," the maid replied. "See," she said, pointing to the hook at the side of the door, the same hook dedicated to skirts and trousers, "you must hang your key here when you go out." An Englishman who was sailing from Boston not long ago was reduced to one pair of really comfortable boots. These he placed outside his door to be polished on the eve of his departure, and ho woke in the cold gray dawn to find his boots gone and not a porter in the hotel who could trace them. lie was forced to descend in his slippers and buy a new pair of stiff, uncomfortable boots to wear to the steamer, and to this day he has not ceased to curse American hotels. In Germany one of the up to date hotels has a little locker in every guest room between the bedroom and the corridor, with a door on either side. He opens the door in his room, puts in his trousers and boots or what ever clothing needs attention. The valet passes along the corridor, opens each door with his own pass key, and removes the clothing to brush it, re turning it and locking the door care fully upon it, and when the owner awakes he has only to open his little door, and there are hi3 clothes all ready for him. The European bed always strikes the uninitiated American traveler as a huge joke. In France they commence to Impress him with their height and narrowness and he looks dubiously at the enormous Turkey-red cotton "couvre-pled" of eiderdown which looks something like a mountain; and he wonders how he is ever going to bear all that extra weight on his per son. But when he has slipped be tween the eheets and the grateful 7 if K Mi- 1 A PSA , 5 ' . Z warmth communicates itself to hi, cold bones if it is winter they are sure to be like Icicles ho discovers that it is deceptively light and deli ciously comfortable. In Switzerland the beds attain a little more heigh but it is in Germany that they become of such an altitude as to necessitate a pair of steps to momnt them. Tricks Played on the Traveler. Sometimes in European hotels the tourist is taken solemnly to one Bide and told that by paying a few francs or lire more he can have the royal bedchamber. A certain hotel in Sor rento, where a dozen or more royal heads have lain in one season, is even more generous, for if the rooms are empty they make no extra charge. And the traveler lives to recount when he is back on his native heath how hia cheek pressed the same pillow that had been used by the little queen of Holland or the king of Saxony. But that is not a purely European custom, for to this day in a certain Boston ho tel the sacred chamber occupied by Prince Henry of Prussia is listed at about $10 a day more than any other room in the house. Most American travelers op. their first trips abroad are astounded when upon the day of their departuro from a hotel they are presented with their bill by the head waiter instead f by the landlord or by his chief clerk. But it is the custom and this important in dividual is thus assured of his tip. The traveler thinks it a little strange that coffee is always extra at luncheon and dinner, but when he or ders coffee, at an average of 5 or 6 cents extra, the cup, it is freshly made expressly for him and is not the cof fee that has stood for hours in the pot. Another thing that strikes him as funny is the fact that there are ele vators to go up, but that he cannot use them to go down. One European sign in a small hotel reads: "No one is allowed to descend in the elevator but invalids and the aged." In the larger hotels the lifts are used as they are in America, but so leisurely are they that one usually prefers to run downstairs on shank's mare. Economy in lights is another trait, and where, as usual, there are two electric lights in the room, one over the bed to read by and another in the ceiling, one cannot be turned on without turning the other off. But a young American engineer solved the difficulty by unscrewing the porcelain cap of the switch and sticking in a hairpin to make the connection. He had two lights, and no one was ever the wiser. And his conscience? It never troubled him at all; it was one of those elastic ones you read about. It does not take long to remember, after you once know, that if you want to buy salt in Italy you must go to a tobacco shop to get it; for both salt and tobacco are government mo nopolies. And it is a pleasure to learn that in France you can buy stamps and postcards at tobacco shops, which are under government Jurisdiction there as well. Also that in both coun tries you can send telegrams at as low a rate as 14 cents for ten words, and that special delivery letters will go for 6 cents in Paris if you remember to write across your envelope "Pneu matique," which means that the letter will be shunted through a pneumatic tube in no time at all, and delivered almost as soon as a telegram. Hard Luck. "I hear the play you wrote waa k failure." "Yes. I always was unlucky." "Do you think it was merely a caae of luck?" "Certainly It was. It happened that the leading critic of the town in which the play was produced wore a pair of new Bhoes to the opening perform ance. How was it possible in the cir cumstances for us to get a fair write-up?" WORLD FAMOUS SCIENTIST PRAISES DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS. Guido Blenio, who was awarded a gold medal at the International Ex position, Turin, Italy, In 1909, in com petition with 142 chemical experts from all over the world was cured by Doan's Kidney Pills and strongly recom mends them.
