age suit by j. D. Day of Overlook,
against Chas. Craig. Day alleged
that Craig had turned cattle
into his field, destroying his crop.
The case case was before Judge
Bradford yesterday and resulted in
a Judgment for Day in the sum of

submitted in the civil suit Craig
was tried on the charge of mali
cious mischief. This trial resulted
in his discharge.

nor did he amble in his gait, but
moved at once and nimbly.

The board Of school directors
met Friday night. Not d great
deal of business was transacted.
The treasurer reported that he had
only little more than half enough
funds on hand to compensate the
teachers for their second months
work, which ended Friday after
noon. This amount was issued to
the teachers on Saturday, giving
preference to those whose homes
are not in Ardmore.
As yet the board has received no
money from the city council and
there is no ordinance in force JUS
tifying the payment of any city
funds to the treasurer Of the school
board. I'll. G. Potterf, president
of the board. is now drafting en-
ordinance, the provisions of which
will overcome these inconvenience
and this ordinance will doubtless
meet the approval of the city coun-
ell.
There are hundreds Of parents
in Ardmore, and many other per-
sons, who are directly interested
in the public school work who
should see that not stone is left
unturned in an effort to promptly
pay the salaries of the teachers.
An unpaid teacher. has poor en-
couragement to put forth her best
efforts in the school room.
The board of directors have done
even more than their part in the
financial management of affairs.
In this we have direct reference to
their securing funds on their own
names for the payment Of teachers,
and now the remainder of the work
devolves upon the taxpayers to
use no tortoise like convenience in
paying his taxes and the apportion-
ing Of these funds by the council.

Hardy Fowls.

There seems to be a great desire
among the promoter of the various
breeds of fowls to estab lish the claim
that the favorite breed is the hardest
one known. The fact that a given
breed is hardy is no proof that it is
prolific or in any way profitable. The
common mongrel is the hardest of
fowls and at the same time the least
proftab BILE. A mongreIflock Of hens will
go through a severe winter without
shelter and still suller very little
from stress of weather, and any of the
pure breeds would freeze to death I'M
der the same treatment. The truth is
that hardness cuts mo figure in the
calculation of the good poultry-keep-
err. He does not care whether the
breed he chooses is hardy or not. The
only thing he considers lis profit and
if he thinks a certain breed is the
most profitable one he will select it
without giving a thought to hardness.
Poultry who give their
focks proper attention prepare for
cold and disagreeabie weather by fur
nishing warm, well-lighted houses,and
i'm such houses the least hardy of the
breeds have ample protection. Ii a
poultry house is tight enough to pre-
vent draughts from cracks in the

walls and has large windows opening
to the south it will be found warm
enough for all practical purposes. We
have heard of poultry houses so we'll
built that water never froze in them,
but the only one we ever saw was dug
I'M a hillside. I'm this frost-proof
house the hens did not lay any bet
ter than ours do i'm a house where wa
ter freezes every might during which
the thermometer gets within 10 de-
grees of zero. Our hens have almost
summer temperature during the day
and have kept on laying right through
the recent cold weather, and they are
Brown Leghorns, which is called one
of the breeds most sensitive to cold
The man who has hardy breed is
likely to presume a little ON their
hardness. The hardest breed on
earth Will not lay any better than the
poorest mongrels if they are not kept
comfortable during the winter. Where
breed is known to be sensitive to
cold weather better care will be Civ
en- them, and they will be correspond
ingly profitable.
The argument is all ON the side Of
keeping the sensitive breeds, because
they Will he given better care, and
when this is looked to they are inva-
riably the most profitable.-Ex
