Especially is this the case in raising young
chickens. After one has once tried raising
them beneath cover he will not know how

that IL not only furnishes protection from
storms but also an immunity from hawks
and vermin, is sufficient argument in their

every poultry man should provide one for

Yet the pillars ara hung with cleaning gold

having arrived court was called and the
books were opened. Six stalwart yeO-
men stood up and were duly sworn as
jurors in the case. each feeling himself
on being called on such an important
OecasiOn-a solid monument of justice
equity and highly concentrated juris-
prudence; Just then our worthy Coun-
ty Attorney made his appearance, Civ
ing a sort of legal tone ID the proceed
ings. He did his duty for the State in
trying to establish u case of trespass,
but the evidence showed that the place
claimed by Willis Hudson Is also CLAIM
ed by Miss III. I. BrOWnlee who resides
on the same and planted and cultivated
the corn In question and that the ques-
ton of real ownership To the land is yet
undecided by the general government.
