VALUE OF A GOOD COOP.
Day When the Old Barrel Can Be
Used With Profit Is Past.

IT. years gone by a farmer turned a
dScrepit barrel on it's side and drove
vertical stakes down in front Of it to
serve as a coop for the hen ard brood.
If he thought to bore several ho.es in.
that part of the barrel neares. the
ground so that the water could drain
out, he prevented the possibility of a
heavy rain flooding the quarters and
drowning the chicks.
In later years the up-to-date farmer
nas adopted more modern and more
practical quarters for the little chicks
and the broody hen. Sometimes the
adoption of a good coop means the
successful rearing of strong, healthy
youngsters instead of stunted birds
which can never be more than culls.
The brood coop of the present day
protects the brood from wind in cold
weather. from driving rains in all sea
sons and is also capable of admitting
, goodly supply Of pure air. 1t is also
so constructed that it may be easily
cleaned. Most of them have fronts OF
vertical Stats and If they are equipped
Will tiSIl IiOolo lhSoc loolo ohoViu bS
made removable in order that the
floors may be easily cleaned. X the
floors, however, are not nailed to the
coops, the latter may be lifted off and
the floors cleaned readily. Again IL
no floors are used but the coops are
allowed to sit directly on well-drained
ground, cleaning the coop is simply a
matter of moving it to a fresh location
every morning.
The interior of a coop should al
ways be dry, says The Farmer, and it
Is advisable therefore to cover the
roof and sides with some sort of wat
erproof material; for example, some
of the prepared roofings or tai paper.
To prevent the entrance of animals
that would kill the chickens a stout
frame covered with fine mesh wire
netting may be made to be placed in
front of the coop at night so that pro-
lection may be afforded without cut.
ting off the supply of air.
An ordinary packing box with each
of its dimensions about two feet may
be made into a satisfactory coop by
covering it with roofing fabric and
providing it with a Stat front. etc.

SUBSTANCE OF FINDING OF IN
TERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS
SION IN HARTMAN CASE.
Commission Finds That Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific Roads Are
Competing Lines by Means Of
Steamship Lines From New Or
leans to City Of New York.

Washington, ID. c., July 11.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt now has the substance
of the report of the interstate com
merce commission on the Hartman
case. The gist of the commissions
finding is:
That the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific railroads are competing
roads by means of steamship lines
from New Orleans to New York.
Competition at an End.
That railroad competition has been
absolutely terminated in a territory
equal to one-third of the United States,
which is dominated by the various
combinations arranged by MI. Harri-
man.
That Harriman's contracts with the
Rock Island, the Southern Pacific, the
Santa Fe, the Illinois Central and the
San Pedro railroads are in violation of
the antitrust act, and it is recommend
ed that the attorney general proceed
against him.
Some Bad Practices.
That the purchase of the shares of
one railroad by another is a bad prac-
tice, that should be stopped by law.
That there should be an effective
law to prevent imitation of securities
like that in the Alton reorganization.
That the profits of the great rail.
roads of the far west are being used
to buy stocks and control systems in
the east, instead of in building more
roads for the development of the west.

about seventy-fve feet to the ground.
Ernest Hill, twenty-nine years of age,
sustained fatal injuries, while John
Barnes, eighteen years Of age, was not
seriously hurt.
The accident. the police say, was due
to the breaking Of part OF the scanolo.
Both men were removed to the Casualty
Hospital. DR.. Hailman. who was IN
charge of the ambulance, attended Hill
while on the way. and when the hospital
was reached had him hurried to the oper-
ating ROOM but his condition was so Sc
rious that an operation could not be per
formed.
Hill, the surgeons found. had sustained
a fracture of the SKULL three ribs were
broken and internal injuries were indi-
Gated. Barnes was suffering from con-
cuSSion of the brain and number OF cut~
and bruises about his body, but his con-
dition was not regarded serious. The
men resided at 225 r street northeast.
This morning they went to work together.

Caldwell who took them to the Judge
The latter, according to both aff1davits
suggested that the papers be kept secret
until after his death. when he wanted
their contents made public.
Accordingly. Mr.. Caldwell says a steel
lined vault was built for the sole purpose
of containing them. He testified yester-
day that Judge Hilton paid the expense
of this vault. about $500. That statement
taIlies with both of the affidavits as wei
as his declaration that there are two
other trustees besides himself who have
charge of the vault, and that it cannot be
opened except in the presence or al
three The other two are prominent New
York business men. the amdavlt says
Unfortunately. it has never been con
yenient for all three to be present at the
vault at once. but Mr.. Caldwell assured
