POULTRY YARDS.
How to Fence the Chickens in and
Keep out Everything Else.

After trying various kinds of fencing
tor a yard Virginia correspondent of
american CuHirat0r writes that she has
settled on poultry netting as combining
all the desirable qualities, with few
drawbacks. She describes her ward as
follows:
My yard, in which l had as many
as 33l chickens Of various ages at one
time, was 60 feet long by Is feet wide.
1t IS best to have foot wide plank at
the bottom all around, as small sized
chickens get through two inch poultry
netting. Last winter | had no divis-
ions III my yard, so to prevent little
chickens from being crowded out and
run over by big chicks | had to resort
to various devlces-small netting runs
IN front OF coops, and some other things.
Last winter | had this big yard subdi-
vlded into 10 yards by fences Of cheese
cloth tackled to a wide plank at the
bottom and to a two inch wide strip at
the top. with gate made of the
cheesecloth tackled on frame in each
division, so that | can easily pass from
one to the other.
This dividing Of broods does away
with all necessity of wire covered runs
in front Of coops to keep the biz chick
ems from trampling the Others. and
when chicks get large and the mother
hen is taken from them will prevent
overcrowdlng and consequent smother
lns. Each small yard is 6 feet wide
by 10 feet long, which is a very GOOD
sized run for from 80 to 40 chicks.
Wherever there are chickens there
are hawks, and when they catch even
one fowl day they diminish the profits
considerably, as the early chickens net
me over % cents each. So, to pre-
vent Their "a wages, | had poles about
9 feet high from the surface of the
ground planted all along through the
middle OF the yard lengthwise and
strips nailed from one pole to another
at the top. Over this ridge l threw
twlne. which tied to the top of the
netting fence on each side. the Irvine
belnS about six inches apart, thus form
ing kind OF netting of Irvine shaped
like the roof Of a house. Of course
this did not obstruct the sunshine. but
1t kept of all hawks. I saw one make
two attempts enc evening. darting down
to catch chicken, but it struck the
tWlne each time. and was not again

Poultry Pickings.

Duck eggs, when Matching, require
less moisture than do the eggs Of hens.
If strong chicks are desired. see to
1t that the eggs are from healthy stock
that has not been overfed.
Hard-shelled eggs produce the most
vigorous chicks. Those from soft
shells are apt to be weakly.
There is more profit in raising geese
than chickens, and it is surprising that
progressive farmers do not 90 in for
them more.
See to it that the setting hens have
fresh water and plenty of fattening
food, and do not neglect the supply Of
gravel and the dust bath.

Governor Notified That Settlers in
the Western Part Must Be
D. Cared For.

OMAHA. Neb., Aug. Can appeal for
the drought-stricken portion of Ne
braska, signed by a committee claiming
to represent large interests, was today
sent to the governor. Itrecites that the
committee has just returned from an
extended visit through the section
where the hot winds destroyed crops.
The committee explains that it has rea-
son to believe from all it has been told
that thousands of families will "elther
Starve, emigrate or be fed by charity
unless the people as whole provide
for them.'
Tho committee suggests as solution
of the problem that d special session of
the legislature be called Immediately to
devise state system of irrigation, and
that the drought-stricken district be
given employment on the bitches. The
committee locates most of the distress
west of Grand Island and Holeridge.
Gov. Crounse is a! present out of the
state. The general impression is that
the crop failures are not complete, and
with economy little actual suffering will
result without state aid. The locality
in which the drought was most severe
has been troubled periodically since
Nebraska was made state. 1t includes
several counties in which tine soil is
very sandy, and requires at least one
third more rain or water than other
farming lands in the adjacent counties.

The board Of trade, at its meeting
yesterday morning, considered Byron
Sutherland's park proposition, but took
no definite action. The committee APP

that the property was all that could be
desired for park purposes, but, in view
OF the depressed condition of real estate,
did not consider the price put upon the
fifty acres by Mr.. Sutherland remarka-
bly, cheap. The British delegates,
Messrs. Stephenson, GiIchrist, Amder-
son and Buchanan, being present at the
meeting, they were requested to give
their opinions of Minnesota farming as
compared with that of England. The
English farmers, they said. were not
saving money. but they found that
many of the Minnesota farmers were.

SALTWATER NEWS.
A Prominent Citizen and His Wife
Hung in Effigy.

Residents of South Saltwater are
somewhat excited over an affair which
occurred there early Sunday morning.
Early rlSerS were somewhat startled
when they beheld two forms dangling
in the air from tree in the school yard,
and placards Oh them showed that jeff
Smith and his wife, prominent residents
of the village, had been hung in effigy.
The effigieS were allowed to hang there
for some time. and were finally cut
down and taken into building close
by. Many of the leading residents of
the village speak Of the matter in a
manner not pleasant'to the person or
persons who committed the deed, and
are considerably worked up over such
laWlessneSS. 1t seems that Mr.. Smith
had taken part in school muddle that
has been going on there for some time,
and was one of a few that favored a
proposition to hold only six months of
school in the village. When this was
defeated he favored the organization of
an independent school district and
made many enemies, who took this
means of getting back at him. The
prevailing opinion is that the perpetra-
tors OF the deco should not have done
SO.
Large black clouds overhung this city
Sunday evening, and every one ex-
pected -lOoked-fOr rain, but. as OIL
former occasions when conditions were

The Position Of Superintend-

The struggle among the various as
plrants for the position of sheriff of

comedy. There are candidates Oh every
bush, and each and every one is work.
Ing like beaver. Sheriff Eye stands
i'll peculiar position. He wants the
place himself, for he realizes that it is a
fat job, but all around him he sees the
men he appointed as deputies scram-
bling for chance to occupy his shoes.
OF course they had the good grace to
resign before they began active work,
but even before they quit drawing pay
from the county they were out with
their lines and doing little casting.
The position OF sheriff is conceded to be
worth i'll the neighOorhood of $4,000 a
year to the sheriff. and it is said that
the fees will even aggregate more than
that amount. When the legislature
convenes next time there will be made
a vigorous effort to make the office a
Salared one.
Sheriff Eye relies upon his record"
as criminal catcher. besides his belief
i'll the good old Republican doctrine. to
pull him through again, and yet there
is vigorous fear in his mind-away
down in the receSseS of it, to be sure,
but still there-that he may get left this
