Many farmer* and poultrymen who would like to know which hens are profitable and which not, in their flocka, will therefore wel come such a nest aa pictured herewith. As will be seen, the nest la an ordi nary box. The front Is provided with a very light door made of a shingle or other light wood, and swung on a pivot from the top. Near the middle of the right-hand side Is shown a little bar, also pivoted where It tonchea the door. Toward the lower end of this little bar Is a notch, which as the door la lifted engages on the latch on the side below. When the hen enters to lay she lifts the door and disengages the latch. Hen-Releasing Trap Naet Am she passes through, the door drops again and closes the entrance. When she has laid she notices the opening at the back of the neat and ^passes Into n different pen or plleyway. Am soon ee she does so she raises this beck door, which Is hung from the top on hinges, and a string which' peases over two spools lifts the front door and resets the latch, so thjt another hen may then enter tEe heet. The only objection to this method of trap nesting hens Is that it la not jporilc poeeible to know which agf Is laid by VialllilUitlv Vial Uo any one hen, bat It la possible to know FOR MAYOR I hereby announce myself as a candidate for Mayor of Clinton, sub ject to the rules of the Democratic primary.

W. H. Alien, poultry specialist at the New Jersey College of Agriculture, describes the three beat methods of lighting as follows: “the evening lunch plan"—turn on the lights at 9 o'clock for one hour; “the morning lighting plan"—turn on the lights In the morn- ing and at a time that will allow the birds twelve hours of daylight; “the combination plan"—burn the lights from 6 a. m. until daybreak and from smwse until 6 p. m. Mg of MNMf methods has proved satisfactory. Electric lights are the easiest to regu late, but gasoline or oil lanterns may be need. Good feeding practices must be fol lowed when lights arr used or the flock will get thin and sometimes molt Fourteen pounds of scratch grain should be fed to 100 layers, feed 9 to 10 pounds in a deep, dry litter to ward evening. This will Insure agatnst any possibility of the layera going to roost without a.fllled crop. The othef tour or six pounds should be fed about 8 s. m. Mash must be kept before the birds at all times.

Coker's Nitrate of Soda and Fertilizer Distributor For Side Applications PULVERIZES AS IT DISTRIBUTES Since the beginning of the extensive use of Soda the problems of pulverizing and distribution have been a bur den io the farmer. The old laborious, hand method leaves a heavy quantity here—not enough there—which often imratts in spotted and ugly rows. One pkmt is frequently damaged while its neighbor starves. Large lumps— hand broken—are seldom reduced to an economical size; thus much of the materia! goes to waste and is never used by £he plant. Coker’s Soda Distributor overcomes both the problems of thorough pulverization and even distribution in one" . operation. It completely grinds the Soda ino small par ticles and evenly distributes the proper ration of ferti lizer to each plant in the row. An exceptionally light and durable machine is Coker’s Soda Distributor, perfected for the purpose of grinding Nitrate of Soda and other fertilizers at one operation quickly. The thoroughly pulverized material is evenly distributed through two down sipouts to two rows simul taneously. In eliminating the present unsatisfactory, slow and expensive hand method, this machine will pay •for itself in a single season’s use to say nothing of its tremendous saving in time and labor. a ' * ; ; V ' • V-v/.. r\‘. ; Coker’s Pedigreed Seed Co.
