Tho cost of changing Park avenuo below the new terminal will be enor mous, for It Is no small task the en gincers In charge have outlined for themselves. In the first place, If their plans are approved, Vanderbilt avenue will be moved eastward a dis tance of 25 feet, and the upper road. way that Is to be erected along the side of the terminal building will be as wide as the ordinary street. This will bo the first time in the history of engineering that a city street is liter ally hung on the side of a building. The expenditure of this eniorimis sum of money and the outlay of years of time ii labor are part of a plan of the interests in control of the New York Central system to make the new terminal building the center of the greatest hotel district in tile world. Just when the entie work will be completed is problematical. It Is ex peeled that 1912 will see the opening of the new terminal as well as the completion of the new auditorlumIII and possibly the new opera house.

The use of metal and concrete iII the constructionr of all kinds of buil ings is' gaining rapidly in popularlty. We see it not only in our houses. but in the modern dairy barns and poultry plants. This is brought about oni grounds of economy and efllciency; metal is stronger. wears longer, oc cuiples less space, is immluiie to fire and inimical to insect life and dis ease. For the latter reason its lse( appeals strongly to the poultry breed er. Metal perches, iests. and even houses have much to commend them on grounds of cleanliness and good sanitation. Especially is this true of metal nests, a row of which is shown in the illustration. Of all contrivan ces the wooden box has proved itself the home of lice and mites; its crev ices and cracks are the delight of these pestiferious enemies of fowl life. To be sure the nesting material can be changed and burned, the box sprayed or fumigated, but in spite of all precaution a few stray specimens will escape in some crack or crevice In the wood.

The accompanying drawing will need but little explanation to active and up-to-date poultrymen. It is need, less to say "th early bird catches the worm." We know that when the fowls are con fned any considerable length of tine beyond the time of regular releasing they become much worried, which unfits them for best results, writes J. W. Griffin in the Farmers' Review. -A frightened or worrieA hen soon loses interest in egg production and it requires con siderable time and great care to Vet Working Automatic Door. her in proper shape again. Now for fear that you forget to turn the flock from their roosting quarters some warm day, make one of these auto matic release doors. This arrangement is attached to the outside of the building ordinarily where the small drop door is located. This release door should be covered with half-Inch mesh wire netting. This will show the liens the light, and they will be induced to reach it. In so doing they will walk over the false bottom, the one to which the trigger wire is attached and her weight will raise the hook that keeps the door in place, the door will swing open and all the flock will be released. THREE-PEN POULTRY HOUSE Arrangement Shown in lilustration Gives Large Amount of Yard Space for Chickens. The illustration shows a very use ful poultry house for three pens of fowls, with yards arranged for thu same miniber. The house is 30x30 feet and will accommodate 100 fowls. The hallway takes but little room out of the interior and yet it communicates with all three pens. 'I'he ''side di visions are of wire netting, allowing the sunshine that enters at one side of the house to fall into the pens; but the house should be so located that three sides may receive 1orn11 ---------------- P!-N/ YA YDfYA A Three-Pen Poultry House. paisfollowed, according to Orange Judd Famer, fr div ilte yard outside as for dividing the space in. sidle the hueThsgives a large amount of yard space, with yards con-. v'eniently octd Thsbuilding is shingled ali over the outsidle, with the heaviest building paper unlder the shingles, and may eit her- be shleathedl or lathed and pilastered inside.

Dulcks are nervous creatures and wvill often lose much flesh on account -of their nervousness at night. Keep sharp gravel within reach of tile young at all times. Charcoal, too, is beneficial, and oyster-shells are re. ished. Once a week pour enough coal-oil in the drinking water to form a scum over time top. It is a good roup pro. ventive. A carefully made, roomy nest of hay withl a sod or grass bottom forms, in -my estimation, the best kind of nest for sittinlg. The open range is best for young turkeys, but they must nmot be allowved out during a shower or before the grass is dr~y. - If an abundance of good shar-p grit I is constantly on hand the many ail. ments thlat spring from indigestfor;~ can be prevented.

BY .WIND' GIRL MEETS DEATH DRAWN INTO VORTEX OF WHIRL WIND AND THEN DASHED TO GROUND. London.-The extraordinary death of Mary Bailey, a 16-year-old school-girl, in a school play ground at Bradford, diring a recent sale was the subject of a coroner's inquest. To combat a theory of suicide which had been suggested, it was proved that the girl had not been to the top story of the school and that she was in a very cheerful frame of mind. George Parsons, a commercial trav eler, said lie was near the school when he saw the girl in the air .with her skirt blown out like a balloon. She was 25 or 30 feet high and she fell with a crash. She was on a level with the Tossed by Wind. school balcony, but she had not pome from there. Thle wind was the worst hie had known for 1.5 years.
