GOOD THING TO HAVE.
Poultry House for Large Flock. with
Underneath Rum.

Poultry House for a Large Flock, with
Underneath Run
The design is to show a house that
may be extended to 200 feet or more.
The fowls are given the upper story
for roosting, the lower portion being a
scratching place.
The house should be IL feet wide, 8
feet high for the lower story and g
feet for the upper story.
The object is to pernit Of blowing
the ground floor of the lower story
with one-horse pillow, for an extended
building. The idea may be a novel one,
but the plan will save much labor. OF
course, such a house is more. expensive
than some others, but it affords COM
plete protection from storms in the
winter and gives shade IN summer, the
blowing turning the filth and drop
pings under.
Inclined steps leading to the upper
portion are not shown, bat can be ar
ranged according to preference, as may

Sowing Oats and Peas Together.

Practice in sowing oats and peas to-
gether differs. This is one plan: Oats
and peas, two bushels of the former
and one OF the latter, may be sowed to-
gether, but it would be far better to
sow the peas first and cultivate or plow
them in; for to do well they should be
covered deeper than the oats. Then
drill in the oats, being careful not to
get them covered too deeply. AS the
peas may adhere somewhat closely to
the ground, the land should be rolled
Immediately or soon after sowing. Any
large variety of peas may be used.

HIGH PROTECTION IN STATES.
Effects OF the Mckinley Remedy a. Lo-
caliY Applied.

Effects OF the Mckinley Remedy a. Lo-
caliy Applied.
Several of the states are dealing with
the bounty question during this legis-
1ative season in manner to serve as
useful object lesson, whatever may be
the results to those directly interested.
Nebraska and Wyoming have enacted
laws imposing q tax upon all those
subject to taxation, for the benefit OF
those who raise beets to De used in
the manufacture OF sugar. The gov
ernor of Nebraska did not approve of
the measure and interposed his veto;
but the legislature was strongly in
favor of the policy and passed the law
despite executive declaration against
1t. Utah is not yet in the union, but
the time of her admission is soon at
hand, and she has also provided that
her people must contribute of their
wealth to the support of the sugar
beet raisers.
In Minnesota there was an attempt
to favor the iron industries under this
same bounty policy. The method pro-
posed was more indirect, the scheme
being to so change the constitution of
the state as to legalize payments from
the treasury for the financial as
ing and reducing of iron ores. The
strongest point urged in favor of such
law was that by stimulating these
industries the number of men employed
in them would be largely increased
and the farmers of Minnesota would
have an improved home market for
their products. But the granger is a
wary statesman where his own inter-
ests are at stake, and did not take
kindly to the plan. As result, the
representatives in the legislature from
the agricultural districts defeated the
measure, and the farmers propose to
raise supplies for the market they have
without taking the risks involved in
trying to buy better one.
The states first named have practic-
| ally applied the principles of protec-
tion within the limits of their own ter
ritory. The desire to encourage the
Infant" industry of raising sugar
beets causes tax to be levied upon
farmers who do not cultivate the beet,
upon merchants, ministers, lawyers,
doctors, carpenters, blacksmiths, shoe
makers and all others who are taxed
| under the laws of the state. They
| must pay tribute to the beet raisers
just as the Mckinley laws forced the
masses to pay tribute to the coal
barons, the oil monopolists, the beet
trusts, the iron princes, the lumber
kings'and the others who were enabled
to amass fabulous fortunes while the
country and the vast majority of its
people were being crowded toward
pauperism. The people of Nebraska
and Wyoming are only taxed to help
the beet farmer. The people of the
country have been taxed to help en-
rich all its greatest plutocrats.-De-

FLORENCE, Kan, April 25.-Frank
Wright, the 11-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. Wright, living miles north

A few minutes after he entered the
building his mother and sister heard
his screams and running to the door

little boy inside. The father was a
mile from the house blowing in the

spread through the neighborhood and
the neighbors ran to drag his remains
from the burning embers- He was a
blackened, shapeless mass, only por-
tions of his body being found.
