The better plan is to raise no more
chickens than can be accommodated in
yards of ample size-a yard for each
brood of is or 20 chicks, and let each
brood have house 20 itself of size to
accommodate the chicks until they are
well grown and ready to be sold or
transferred to the regular poultry
house. Thus one always knows where
his chickens are. He knows that enc
mics cannot well reach them, and that
the work needed to care for them has
oeen reduced to a minimum.
The illustration shows a plan for
such chicken yards and houses that
think will commend itself to the
chicken raiser. The yards are side by
side, and the houses in a row of any
length desired. These houses are ar
ranged to afford the greatest conven-
fence. They are some 21s feet square
and about feet in height, with sin

and grooved. The entire back is n

and to the trees. In any event do not

The power and longevity of the horse

care and fee ling he receives He can
draw on his fixed stock of vitality TO
supply deficiency of food or to do over
work, but il shortens his life and re-
auces his value. That horses have been
worked to death in one day shows how
rapidly overwork draws on their vital
power As heat depends on food. all
clipped horses and those not warmly

KNOCKED OUT.
Judge Grosscup Decides Against the
Interstate Commerce Law.


Judge Grosscup Decides Against the
Interstate Commerce Law.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2s The interstate
commerce law is practically dead
letter il a decision rendered by Judge
Grosscup in the United States court
holds good. Under that decision II be-
comes imperative and of no value, for
the reason that 1t will be impossible to
convict anyone of violating any of it's
provisions.
Judge Grosscup held that General
Freight Agent James. of the Lake
Shore road, and Gordon Mcleod. agent
OF the Merchants Dispatch freight
line, the witnesses who refused to an
swer questions put to them, were right
in the position which they took, and
that they cannot be compelled to an
swer. James and Mcleod were asked
questions which were Intended TO draw
out information as illegal cuts in
rates made by the companies which
they represented. Both refused to an
swer on the grounds that the fifth
amendment TO the constitution of
the United States gives every man
the right to refuse to make dis
closures which will criminate himself
They took this position in spite of the
fact that on February IL. 1898. con-
gress amended the interstate act with
the intention of remedying the defect
pointed out in the law in the supreme
court decision in the Counselman case.
District Attorney Milchrist held that
the amended law was as broad as the
constitutional amendment, in that it
fully exempted witnesses from prosecu-
tion for anything they might disclose,
and asked for rule to commit the
witnesses to Jail for contempt if they
did not testify.
Judge Grosscup holds that congress
did not and cannot pass an act exempt
ing anybody from the operation of the
constitutional amendment, and dis
charged the rule compelling James and
Mcleod to testify.
