gentle heat downward ; the glass or celluloid window for the thermometer; and the small openings in the curtain which admit fresh air.—Mary Chase Baron, Hampden Meadows, R. I. COLLAPSIBLE COOP.

sot up for use. The bottom halves fold up. the end halves fold in against these, ancl the roof halves fold down on both.— Geo C. Bancroft, Mich. POULTRY FEEDER. The advantages of this feeder are that the wings can be adjusted to permit only small chicks to feed, or small chicks on

one side and full grown hens on the other. Also the hopper and trough can be adjusted to feed any kind of grain or mash. —Leo D. Belvel, Lineville, lowa. EGG CRATE FILLER. The upright walls of this filler arc made of cardboard as usual, but they are corrugated as shown. As a result, they hold

the eggs securely but yieldingly and thereby decrease the chance of breakage.—Ed. C. Lorentzen,. Scranton, lowa. EGG CRATE. This crate is made entirely of wire and is readily set up for use or collapsed for return shipment. It iias on each side five

wire trays which carry the eggs safely in individual pockets made of canvas or other suitable cloth.—Emmet B. Digby, Atlanta, Georgia. POULTRY HOLDER, This device is used to hold the fovd by the wings or legs during the operations of cleaning or stuffing. It is hung from a
