A few deaths nailed in the sides will assist the birds. If a"$qor is left in the box a 'chance can b*'obtained to study these interesting birds. Robins will often nest In rough boxes or shelves placed under the eaves of buildings or porches. "Wrens are perhaps the most easily secured of all birds. Boxes of any kind with an opening small enough to keep out sparrows, and placed out of reach of. cats, are almost sure to attract them. The opening in the box should be about seven-eighths of an inch in diameter, or just about the size of a quarter. Easily Attracted. "Flickers, owls or red-headed wood peckers are easily attracted by boxes made of rough unpainted lumber. The openings for these birds should be from three to three and one-half inches in diameter. Frank Pellett of Atlantic has had considerable success with this method. His boxes were about twelve inches long by eight inches square, placed in trees about the house. Another successful wood pecker house used in the east is an Imitation hollow log. This is made by peeling the bark from a limb of elm four or five iuches in diameter an/1 ten to eighteen inches long. Sec tions should be straight and without knots. A holo Is made of size desired for entrance, and then the bark is peeled off by cutting a slit the full length of the section at the back of the nest. The top and bottom are made by sawing pieces about one inch at the top and bottom of the •poeled limb, and then shaving them down until the bark can be lapped about half an inch and tacked to the top and bottom. A roof of bark, tin or sine can be put on to ™ake Wil1 be the man of the Dollar Day committee, I positively know that over 100 Keo kuk merchants have positively guaranteed to display and sell greater and truer values for $1.00 than they have ever sold before.

The opening in their boxes should be two inches, otherwise they may be the same as wren boxes. Houses for Martins. "A single tenement will usually care for a colonv of martins. Some times they will come to a singfe house, which should be about the same sice as a bluebird box. "Boxes are better of old weather beaten material than freshly placed or •painted lumber.

Tin houses should be shaded, but this is not so important with wooden boxes. Probably most houses in town will be shaded somewhat during the day. If there is any choice the box should be In the shade during the warm part of the day. "Bluebirds and martins like a perch at the entrance to the box. but one is not necessary for-the other species. "Supplies of nesting material, such as string, straw, fine roots, feathers, twine, a pan of clay or mud, left in suitable location, will often cause birds to occupy a nesting site. Mr. Pellett found that a thin layer of ground cork or sawdust In the bottom of woodpecker nests was an added at traction to such birds. Water at Hand. "A drinking fountain is almost ab solutely necessary if you wish to at tract birds about your home. This fountain, together with the nesting material, will often attract orioles, chipping sparrows, catbirds, brown thrashers, grosbeaks and others to nest in nearby trees and bushes. Some persons hare found that supplies of food scattered around are an added attraction. Grains, seeds, bread, nuts and fruits are all used successfully for this purpose.

Dollar Day, May 8 Farming, Milwaukee Journal: Fanning is a, most desirable employment. No busl ness offers so much independence. The farmer is his own master. The, thoughtful farmer plans his own work and informs himself about the most scientific methods. Farming is work| that requires and cultivates intellH gence. The day is past when a youth I unfitted for anything is thought good enough for a farm. A farmer's work. is in the sunshine, the pure air and invigorating wind3. He is not cooped up among brick walls with only nar-| row aperatures from which he may get glimpses of the sky. The farmer! of today can have all the conven-l iences enjoyed by the dweller in the city and some luxuries unattaina^e by the city man. In farming there Is, a wide scope for ambition. There is opportunity for a man with hare, hands and empty pockets to begin as a laborer and attain a compeljnce and position in which he may take a just^ pride. Intelligrnt labor is needed as! In any other business. Wide miles. practices the average family in obtaining the materials used in his business, that business would soon land in the bankruptcy courts. A will known railroad official said that between the hen and the consun-.c there is a needless waste of something like $200,000,000 a ear. Breakage and spoilage, due to inadequate nnd care less handling of the eggs accounts for this waste—and the bill is paid by the consumers of eggs all over the country —and incidentally helps account for the higii price of egjs during .all seasons of the year. Here is something to think about: It is well known that many of the most delicious concoctions in certain high priced restaurants are mide from left-overs, cleverly disguised as cro quettes and in other ways by the French cook who has learned the habit of thrift in cooking in his own country. He will add a sauce_ here or a garnish there and serve in so tempting a fashion that the original dish is not recognized.

So Gandy has a real and new claim for distinction. Dollar Day. May 8 The Naked Truth. Topeka Cap'tal: TUarriage is tbn ceremony which binds a woman to work for her board and clothes for the remainder of her natural life. French household is nothing but a tasty stew, made of left-overs—meats and vegetables which would otherwise be wasted. The pot au feu well kr.o ,vn in France and occasionally served here in restaurants is a most nutritious ar.d palatable dish. Its basis is a soup stock in which beef and vegetables have been boiled and it is served in a brown earthenware pot. First the soup is poured off and forms the first course of the meal, then the meat tive business I and vegetables are drained off and followed the there is your second course, which, with a cup of coffee and bread forms a substantial meal at a small cost. The glittering powder of many hues we see worked into the designs on wall paper is made frofn the waste lining of sea shells extracted by the button makers. Formerly it could not be utilized for any purpose, but now it is turned into a fine powder, colored any shade desired and used for a great many purposes—in the manufacture of artificial flowers for one thing. The value of waste paper is so great that the collccting of it affords a good livelihood for hundreds of people in every large city. Nearly every print ing office in the country finds the saving of waste paper sufficiently profitable to invest from $50 to $250 in machines for pressing this waste paper into bundles ready for market. S-: It is used in many v.-ays. For one thing it is used in the making of-^ papier mache. to Thus we find manufacturers and.J owners of large conccrns all over the^E^l world, practicing economy in many^-%^| wavs that individuals would do emu,at" .- -t.
