One of the principal objection* to
the trip nest generally employed where
Individual records of hens are desired
Is that too much time is required to
take the hens out of tho neats and re
cord their achievements, says Orange
Judd Farmer. 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

Pedestrians Urged to
Face Traffic on Road
The Pennsylvania Motor fed
eration sent to Its 62 affiliated
clubs a circular urging pedes
trians walking on the highways,
. especially at night, to face the
traffic by walking on the left
side of the road. After a careful
study of the situation. It has
been found that In most of the
cases where cars strike persona
on the highways at night the
driver Is partially blinded by the
headlights of approaching cart
and, swinging to the right, fails
to see pedestrian* It Is con
tended that If persons walking
on the roads would face the traf
fic they would be better able to
avoid being struck, and also
would be seen sooner by the
drivers of can aproachlng In the
oppoeite direction.

lighting as follows: “the evening lunch

plan"—turn on the lights In the morn-

birds twelve hours of daylight; “the
combination plan"—burn the lights

If ever the gasoline tank of your
car becomes dented, the tank may be
repaired simply ’In tola manner:
The first step Is to fill the tank
with water and drain It, to avoid any
possibility of a gasoline explosion
when solder is applied. A round end
tanfkge bolt Is then soldered firmly to
the center of the dinged portion of the
tank. A crossbar with two blocks is

To test a defective valve.tor a slow

that the mouth of the stem Is eub-

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.
