roost closet for poultry
^onaktoraM* 8trass Laid on Curtain
(ft Front of Houaa at Main*
Rxp?rlm?nt Station.
In the curtain-front type of poultry
bouse used at tbe Maine experiment
station a feature of tbe original plan
on which considerable stress waa
laid was the canvas curtain in front
pf the roosts.
This, curtain, together with the
back Wall of tbe houae and tbe drcm~
piogB board under tbe roosts, fornrea
closet in whicb the birds were shut
up at night during cold weathert
When the curtain-front house was
first devised it waa thought essential
to provide sucb a closet to conserve
the body heat of tbe birds during tbe
cold nights when tbe temperature
might go well below sero. Expe
rience has shown, however, that this
was a mistake. Actual test shows
that the roosting closet Is of no ad
vantage, even In such a severe cli
mate as that of Orono, On tbe con
trary, the birds certainly thrive bet
tar without the ropst ourtain than
with it. It has been a general ob
servation amopg users of the curtain
front type of house that when the
roost curtains are used the birds are
particularly susceptible to colds. It
is not hard to understand why this
should be so. Tbe air in a roosting
closet when it is opened in the
morning is plainly bad. The fact
that it is warm In no way offsets
physiologically the evils of its lack
of oxygen and excess of carbon dl
oxid, ammoniacal vapors, and other
exhalations from the bodies of the
birds.
t For some time past It has been felt
that the roosting closet was at least
unnecessary, if not. in fact a positive
evil. Consequently the time of be
ginning to close the roost curtain In
./ tne fall has been each year longer
delayed. Finally, in the fall of 1910,
It was deoided not to use these cur
tains at all during the winter. Con-'
sequently they were taken out of the
house, or spiked to the roof, as the
case might be. The winter of 1910-11
was a severe one. On several occa
slons the temperature dropped t6 80
degroes below zero. Yet during this
winter the mortality *as exceptional
ly low and the egg production excep
tionally high.
In view of this experience the sta
tion has decided to discontinue the
use of the roost Curtain. It would
seem to be generally undesirable or
at least unnecessary.

HAS LABOR CLEARING HOUSt!
Engll.h Government Ha? Established
Exchange* Whereby Job and the
Man Art Brought Together.
Id the Bngllah labor exchang aa list
ed situations are either filled directly
by the agency in which they are filed,
or, lacking the proper appllcanta, they
are put "in circulation." Kvery trade
ha a ita number and decimal dlviaioaa.
On tho application card a cipher uni
formly uaed by the exechangea re

Job he wants now, hla age, the employ

the ateady a&d efficient men can be
recognized. Employer and applicant
are filed under the ahme trade num
ber in separate boxes on differently
colored carda. Instantly referenoea
can be made for either aide. Thia aim
pie device, being universal, enablea
the number wanted tp be wired to
the central office and sent out to the
branches. Wheu he ia located, the
roply can briefly preaent the character
of the applicant. John L. Matthews
writes In Harper's Magazine. In case
of need this man la furnished with a
pass or railway ticket. The coat of
the' latter he la given time to repay.
Thia arrangement haa objectionable
features, alnce the labotor must both
bear the brunt of the expense and
take a chanoe of the Job lasting long
enough to make it poaaible for him to
refund the money to the govornment'
In spite of thiB discouragement to long
Journeys, the exchange tends to fluid
ity the movement of labor throughout
Great Britain and furniahea a reliable,
neutral medium of informatics about
supply and demand.
THRILLS OF "CAT" FISHINQ
When Cork Dlaappeare Angler Gives
Terrific Jerk and Prize Measuring
Six inches Is Safety Landed.

Every man who has lived In the cat
fish country knows how the trick was
done, says Outing Magazine. You had
?-aibble and the-cork bobbed a 111 tie.
Another nibble and it bobbed tome
more. Then if yon kept perfectly still,
the cork went under and yon der
ricked Mr. Fish out with a mighty
heave. He was usually about- At* or
six inches long, and he sailed grandly
through the air to land kerplunk on
the grass behind you. Sometimes, as
ft variation, he lighted in a tree or fell
Into the middle of a red hawbush,
whloh meant trouble, but you alwaya
got the fish eventually and strung him
on one branch of a. forked stick and
anchored him In the edge of the water.
When the fleh weren't biting, which
was uBually about 75 per cent, of the
time, at a conservative estimate, you
jammed the butt of your pole into the
mud and lay back to watch the sun
light play through the leaves overhead
and liBten to the bird's gossiping to
each Other. That's the real secret of
successful Ashing anyway?trout,- oat
or any kind? where you have soft
grass to lie on and water to dabble
your toes in and soft summer sun*
ehlne to bathe you and make you for

Bahalsts In New York.
Three hundred followers of the Bar
hai faith, three In four of them women,
are In attendance at a convention that
began on Saturday night here. Albert
C. Hall, a Chicago lawyer, said that
the delegates came In greatest number
from Chicago and farther west, but
few from New YorEit is the fifth an
nual convention.
There Is building in Chicago a Ba
hal temple. Foundations are laid, and
construction goes on as fast as money
opmes in. The whole cost will be
$600,000. There are nine sides, the'
number having significance in Baha
Ism. It Is located at Wilmette, on
the Lake Shore drive. The use beyond
headquarters for American Bahaism is
to be a hospital, a school for social
service, a hospice and a library. ? New

8anctuary for Horse Riders.
It has been suggested that the Isle
of Wight should be turned into a
"sanctuary for horse riders" by the en
actment of a by-law forbidding motor
cars to be driven within its bounda
ries. Such a law waa formerly en
forced in Prince Edward Island, and
.Its repeal Xwoyeanjaga atoyftBiUajftftX.
protests. The island, with its wealthy
of subtropical . verdure, is a favorite
holiday resort for Canadian*, one of
its greatest charms being the restful
ness which used to prevail owing to
the absence of motors. Prince Ed
ward Island still possesses a more tan
gible attraction in the excellence of
its oysters. These abound throughout
the island, and Malpeque bay contains
what is probably the largest oyster
bed in the, world, extending over six
teen thousand acres. ? London Chroni

SUBDUING OF PHILADA
- ? ?rxv- ????-- ?:&?&&&
BY CLARA HAENCHCN.
"I have sent for you to draw tip ft
now will," ooncluded Miw Anbury,
Mating her* elf and motion in* bar
companion to do likewise.
"I heard It rumored ? " ventured
the lawyer.
"That I intended disinheriting Phil
ada ae too Aivolous to be trusted with
the Asbury Estate T" she smiled.
"And 1 did not oontradiet the ru
mor. As Phllada'* aunt, And only
living relative, t can hardly say I
have had an easy time of it since be
coming her guardian, Ave years ago."
"Phllada is a dear? when she lifts
her own way. I soon realised my
lack of control -and therefore wish**
to see her safely married. 1 must ad
mit it wasn't for lack of opportunity.
But young men came, admired, and
were sent away until I was complete
ly out of gpjtienpe. Phllada had re
fused, or was at outs, with every eli
gible man in town and time was hang
ing rather heavily on her hands when
it was announoed that Larry Drum
mond, who has made quite a name tor
himself abroad as an artist, was to
spend the summer at the old home
stead.
"Well, they met at a garden party.
He didn't call the next day, as she.
expected, nor the next week, which
rather surprised her, , hut 4be didn't
say anything. Then he began drop
ping in casual like, but as pur as I
could see there was no love making.
"One afternoon I left them In the
music room trying over some songs,
and taking a book I went out into the
arbor. I must have dosed, for the
first thing I heard was a slight thump
and Larry's voice saying: 'There,
now, I want to talk seriouflly with
you for a moment.' ?
"'Help me down this instant,' im
peratively demanded Phllada.
" 'You look very graceful up there/
be replied, lastly, ?
"I rose lo. leave the arbor, but sank
back ftt the sight that met my eyee.
For there was Phlta^ perched upon
the high pedestal, j?om which the
storm had blown tne fern the night
boforo, and on the grass facing heir
sat Larry. Larry is six feet three
and no doubt had tossed her up as he
would a child.
'"Help, me down/ she commanded.
" 'I must return to my studio next
month. I have been thinking the
matter over, and Concluded I should
like to take you back, with ttisr luji wy

wife,' he continued, not hooding her.
"For a moment she was speechless.
" 'No doubt you would/ she replied,
sarcastically.
"'That would give you a month to
get ready. I loved you the first time
I saw you, but after hearing how you
treated the. Other hoys, X determined
to make sure of a winning game. I
know you love me?
"'Such audacity! This, looks like
it,' she taunted.
"'You were too proud to show it
when you thought I didn't' care,' he
went ob relentlessly. 'How does Wed
nesday appeal to you as a wedding
" It doesn't appeal to me at all, knd
if you don't help medpwn immedi

"'Oh, I wouldn't do that/ he ad
vised soothingly. *Tou might sprain
your .ankle and that- would delay ou*^

spend our honeymoon r
* 'Such assurance I never heard! 1
; will Jump,' she criad angrily.
"Give me your promise, dear* and
I'll lift you down. There ia a man
coming. Promise/ he cried, rising
and standing in front of her.
"1 won't,' protested Phllada tear^
fully. 'You're a brulte/
" 'He Is almost here. It's the hand
some minister. Quick!' he command
ed.
"Phllada gave one glance backward.

"He had her in his arms and closfd
her llps with a ldis Tuat aa the scan
