During the time she is left in the coop she is given all the feed and water she wants. About 4,000 hens are treated in this way each summer at one place. The records show that hens broken in this way begin laying again as fol- lows: The time from the laying the last egg till the hen began laying again was 10 days in March, 8 days in April, 10 days in May, and 12 days in June. There were more broody hens in June than in April, but for practical purposes the average is 10 days. These coops can be easily built by any one out of scrap lumber and a little wire.

The latest scheme was to raise funds by an autograph quilt, the proceeds to go for Red Cross pur- poses. They had. an aim and object in View, and, inspired by a spirt of patriotism, they set about se- curing names at 10c. each. or as much more as the donor felt dis- posed to contribute. About 3580 were raised in this way‘ and the next move Was to dispose of the quilt, and. through the sale ,of numbered tickets, another $20 were soon gathered in.

Our village was again Visited. by a destructive fire which broke out from cause unknown a little after midnight on Saturday night and destroyed four good stables on Bill street, three of which were owned. by W. A. Armstrong, two occupied by himself and the other by John Chapman, undertaker. The fourth belonged to the old Strain estate, occupied by Mrs. Duncan. The fire Was first dis- covered in the building occupied by Mr. Chapman, and had made such headway that nothing cou.d be saved. It contained two hearses, two sets of harness, wagon, buggy, cutter and about 20 fowl. Mr. Chapman estimates his loss at $1800 with $800 insurance. In the barns occupied by Mr. Armstrong was a garage, from which his car was safely removed, but a quan- tity of hay and. grain. with other articles, was destroyed. The loss will greatly exceed the insurance. On the barn occupied. by Mrs. Duncan, which had but little c.11â€" tents, there was a small insur- ance. The fire carried to the Wood- shel of her residence, which was pulled down, and after a strenu- ous fight the residence was saved, though nearly all the contents lizul been removed. The fire was :1 hot one, owing to the inflammable claracter of the buildings, but the fire-fighters worked heroically to stay its ravages. Owing to a Hus".- der in charging the chemical err~ gine, it rendered but little service. Mr. Armstrong will commence :1: once to rebuild a stable aul garage.
