DESIGN FOR POULTRY HOUSE.
Building Which Will Accommodate
One Hundred and Fifty Fowls.

The size Of the building here rep
resented Is u feet wide and so feet
long, divided into six separate apart
ments for poultry, with a passage
way in the rear of the separate apart
ments. This is called a connected
apartment house, from the fact that
from the hallway in the rear you
could enter each apartment. When
1t Is desirable so to do, there need not
be any partitions, but the whole
building may be thrown into one large
room.
The advantages gained from the sep
arate apartment house are several
First of all, hens do better when not
to exceed Is or 30 are permitted to
live in each apartment. This building,
as represented here, would furnish six
rooms large enough for % each Of
fowls the size of Plymouth Rocks or
Wyandottes. Thirty Leghorns might
be kept to good advantage in each
apartment. The roosts should all be
constructed on the level from a drop
ping board. Underneath the drop
ping board may be constructed the
nests, or the nests may be built
against the partition while that di.
vides the apartments. 1t is always
best to raise the nests from the
ground, and to bave the heps enter
them from the rear or behind to lay.
This hides the hen and the eggs away
from those on the floor, and does not
tempt them to fly up and eat the eggs
The run or area way in front of the
poultry house can be large or small

you have to devote to the same. The

Where it is thought practicable to
make use of what is known as the
fresh-air or muslin curtain front to
the windows, it is only necessary to
remove part or all of the sash, and
substitute frames covered with un-
bleached muslin. The use of the mus
lin curtain is thought to make the in.
terror more healthful for the poultry.
The continual passing of the air
through the curtain has a tendency
to dry the atmosphere within the
poultry house. While such buildings,
says Country Gentleman, are consid.
erably colder than tight glass fronts,
the interior is apt to be perfectly dry,
and the hooded roost may be made
use of in cold localities to keep the

TRIAL MAY GO OVER.
Ihaw Case May Not Come Up for Two
Weeks

NEW YORK. January S.-Just az Ms
tr'ct Attorney Jerome thought that every
possipie OBSTACLE to the trial of Harry X
Ina" on January 81 had been removed
ah''her hltch has arisen which NAV cause
oi'her postponement for perhapS two
weeks or force the trial to be held in the
small court room on the fourth floor of
the criminal courts building. or in the
court room now occupied by Justice
Grsenbaum I'm the county court house.
,,rn me 'Tounie came about yesterday

OF the criminal branch of the sunreme
court. Th1s caused the calendar for the

dpiiity prevent the Thaw case coming I'M
IN that court on January p. as intended
one or the cases adjourned was that of

cused Of shooting Gustav Simon. shirt
waist manufacturer, in his Office last No
vember. A''
Yet the district attorney Is known to be
pretty well determined to brook no further
delay In the matter. and he is also anxious
to have the trial before a supreme court
Justice. Thus 1t would appear that Thaw
might be tried before Justice Greenhaum
p who viii , be sitting at that time in the
county court house at an extended No
vember term Of the criminal branch The
only other solution would seem to be to
hold the trial in the little court room.
WHICH, uCoi &c Dur HIdIIl, IT., WAS convicted,
but that room Is far too small to accom-
modate even those persons who would be
actively connected with the trial.
There was some comment in the GRIM
inal court building yesterday upon Justice
F1tzgerald's action In pestponing cases at
such time. when the delay was of such
consequence. 1t was said In some quar-
ters that Mr.. Jerome had planned that
Justice Greenbaum should preside at the
Thaw trial. and in order to do SO in a
fitting court room he would ask Justice
Fitzgerald to bring his sitting to an end
on January 81.
This Justice Fitzgerald was said to be
not altogether anxious to do. he was
not averse to presiding at the big trial
himself. At any rate. he was said by
some to have objected to any interference
with his calendar and the term of his
court. However that may be. the district
attorney was little puzzled last night as
to just where the Thaw trial could be held
on the date now set for 1t.
Some stories were in circulation yester-
day as to rigid rules to be enforced at the
Thaw trial District Attorney Jerome has
not expressed himself for publication on
the subject yet, but it is understood that
an effort will be made to try to prevent
the trial being turned into show for the
exploitation Of freaks Of various kinds

for years of q combination of New York
city lawyers which has succeeded in muict-
ing the state of several hundred thousand

State employees heretofore working in the

acquired valuable knowledge regarding the

tax laws and the state bureaus, have left
the state service and made New York city

While no one who knew would admit
that Mr.. Stillman had actually gone on the

night that Mr.. Stillman had been planning
to go 10 Europe alone. and that II he didn I

1t was erroneously stated In the report
