1t Affords Ample Protection to Fowls
During Cool Nights.
Roup and other diseases are often due
to the drafts on the fowls while they
are on the roost. An arrangement by
which the fowls may be protected at
night is shown in the illustration. A is
hinged cover, which can be raised or
lowered, as preferred. There is a space
between the lower end of the cover and
the floor CD which permits not only
plenty of ventilation, but which serves
as an ingress or egrcss for the fowls
when going on or leaving the roosts.
Il is the roost, G the nests, and e shows
the back wall when the cover is raised.
This arrangement does not differ from

which may be easily attached to any
roost. 1t may be made of cheap boards,
of light material, or it may
be made by attaching muslin or tarred
paper to a frame constructed of lath.
The cover should be raised during til c
day and fastened to the wall, but at
night, after the hens are on the roost,
it should be lowered to it's position. 1t

fowls and keeping them warm on Sc

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-In investigating the
alleged theft of s22, 900 and the assault on
Treasurer Drake, of the Illinois, Indiana
and Iowa railroad, the police have turned
their attention to looking up the record Of
the young man who says he was robbed.
1t Is said that Drake has lost heavily on
the races lately, and is extravagant in his
habits.
The general manager of the "Three T's''
road, Il. b. Shents, who is brother-in-
law Of the assistant treasurer, said: 1.-THE
idea of attaching Any suspicion to Mr..
Drake is absurd. He has tl00, 600 stock in
this company ara many other interests
that he could hav& disposed Of IL he was
short Of money. Then, too, his father is
worth ss,000,000 at least, and would let
him have money II he needed it."

Tambien recently, but don't believe any
such story and never knew that he med
