The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1878-03-14

If 4 convention OF mass meeting is
held in Gibson county in May, or al
any other time, the county should be
placed squarely before the country
against reputation. Gibson county
is the third in agricultural products
in the state, and she cannot afford to
be placed in a wrong position on the
state debt question. The convention
should condemn in no uncertain words
any attempt to repudiate the debt.
An honest compromise should be ad
vocated. But we cannot afford to be
placed before the country as repudia>
tors. Let our people see to this.

The Tribune and Sun last week
came out strongly in favor Of Hon.
Howell Z. Jackson, of the Jackson
bar, for one of the Supreme Judges.
Mr. Jackson's abilities and high char
acter are well-known in this section of
the state, and Il better man for the pc
sition could hardly be found. He is
a modest, retiring gentleman, one who
does not seek the office, but believes
the office should seek the man. We
believe the people Of this county will
support him in connection with Judge
Freeman.

Far less attention is paid to providing suitable
roosting places for fowls than is given to q host
of other and less important matters connected
with poultry and poultry honsss. We have seen
neat, tasty poultry houses, which appeared, from
an outside view, to be the most comfortable
places fowls could wish for, yet an inspection
inside revealed the roosts from five to six feet
high, far too high for heavy fowls. In eye old
en- times" when iight-bodied fowls were the go,
it did well enough to let them roost high, espe
cially as the hen house was not carefully closed
at night to prevent the visits of predatory rats,
weasels, and other animals with a natural relish
for chickens in the rough. Now we have heav-
Ter fowlf are more particular in regard to the
condition of the plumage, and take more pains
with them, so these aral roosting places can
readily be dispensed with, q substitute being
readily found in the now popular roosting bench
es, which can be made with but a small outlay
Of time, labor and money, and are movable, per-
hitting the fancier to move them wherever
necessary These benches can be made from IL
to l6 inches high and of 2x1 inch Stats. There is
regular length for these benches, from five to six
feet being q very convenient size, though if the
commitment be not too wide, they can be made
to conform to the width of the house, being care
full to make them set true on the floor, with
wide spread legs well fastened on.-Poultry Jour-
