In Sonoma county, California, where
specialized poultry-keeping is engaged
in more extensively than in any Other
section of the United States, the pre-
vailing plan is the movable colony
house. The town Of Petaluma shipped
In 1906 some one million and hall
dollars worth Of poultry and eggs and
the system that has produced these
results is worthy Of careful study. The
style Of house is almost invariably the
colony house. Near the town on the
smaller ranches the houses are not
movable, but out a few miles on the
larger farms they are regularly moved
/ was informed, once a month.
The plan OF colonizing generally pre-.
vailing on the large poultry farms OF
California is to keep the three houses
together, the center one being the lay.
Ing house and the other two the roosts
ing houses. Usually 200 fowls are
kept in a colony, 100 for each roosting
house. Such crowding of poultry fatty
contradicts all preconceiyed views Of
poultrymen throughout the country,
DO not crowd poultry has been a
theme on which poultry writer's have
written with strong convictions, but
we may well hesitate to criticise
plan which has been productive Of
greater practical results probably

through which the wind whistled from
all sides and in which every square
foot OF floor space was utilized for
rcosting room. On many farms the
allotment Of floor space did not ex-

The question Of floor space, how

more a question Of fresh air. With
plenty of pure air fowls will stand

farmer / interviewed there stated that
the losses they had from deaths in

These losses may be due to several
causes: frat lack Of inherent vital

house; third, crowding, producing an
overheated condition and subsequent
chilling when let out on a cold morn

open-front house and It was giving

of the farmers with whom talked had
not given the subject Of open-front
houses any consideration, evidently
preferring to follow in the beaten path.

in the ground wherever he found a
likely-looking spot
In January, 1891, Bob dug a prospect
hole on what is now known as the El
Paso lode Of the Gold King Mining
company, one of the richest veins in
Cripple Creek. Womack took some
rock from his FL Paso claim to two
citizens Of Colorado Springs. The ore
gave splendid returns. and fortune was
within the poor cowboys grasp, but
he flung it aside.

Done said the cowboy, to whom
$500 looked like a big fortune.
The deal was made, and develop

thousands Of dollars in dividends and
which is still one Of the great gold
mines Of the camp
Nor did Opportunity cease to knock
at Womacks door in the case Of the

timated that during the years 1890
and 1891 the cowboy had between 80

According to the survey the route lies
between two ranges Of mountains for
more than 500 miles Of the distance.

coast all the way until San Lucas

southern point Of the peninsula, is

bay Of Magdalena, where the new

for its pearl fishing industry, and the
latter for its great copper mines and

UNFAIR TAXATION
BY Howard H. Gross, Chicago.

For a hundred years throughout the
Mississippi valley the farmers have
carried the burden Of highway i'm
provement They have paid for the
bridges and they have worked the
roads. Hundreds Of millions have
been spent and the roads are not
much better than they we're TO begin
with; where they are better is because
Of draining. It requires engineering
skill and experience to make road;
these have not been employed and the
result has been a failure II the money
expended had been used to the best
advantage fully half the roads would
now be permanently improved with
stone or gravel.
The first great need is TO stop the
waste-revise the highway laws, pro
vide for skilled supervision, centralize
authority, tax every dollar Of property
In the state for permanent road i'm
provements, do not expect the farmer
to do ali the paying. The roads are
public property and Il is Up to the pub

The state aid plan has already been
adopted by 10 states; II works to the
satisfaction Of everybody and seemr
to be the only successful way Of
handling the subject.

W0nAGR IN POVERTY
MAN WHO FIRST DISCOVERED
GOLD AT CRIPPLE CREEK.
Some Of Men Made Miluonsires BY
Poor Cowboy Plan to Give Him
Life Pension - Gave Away
Claims Worth Fortunes.

Denver-"Bob" Womack, the poor
cowboy who sunk the first shaft in the
Cripple Creek district and thereby en-
riched the Golfers of the world by
$3.50 100000, is in dire poverty in Col
orado Springs, and will be given life
pension by some of the men be has

Womack for several years has been
helpless cripple from paralysis Pre-
yious to the paralytic visitation he
aided his sister in running a boarding
house Nobody would have dreamed
that this bright, CHEEKY old man, some
times splitting kindlings, or again
washing dishes or waiting on table,
had discovered the great gold camp Of
Cripple Creek and, had he held to his
original claims, would have been worth
s25.000,O0O Yet such is the fact, and
to-day Womack would be facing the
poorhouse were it not that some Of
the men who have profted by his
faith have resolved not to let the old
prospector come to any such fate.
Late in the eighties Bob Womack
was riding the range for a cattle out
fit in a tract Of land known at that
time as ReQua Gulch, where Cripple
Creek is now situated Cripple Creek
was first settled on by a ranchman
named Levi Welty Bob Womacks
father secured Welty's title, but the
land passed from his control to two
young men named Thompson and An
derson, and Bob did the work of a
cowboy for the new owners. The cat
tlemen did not prosper and a real es-
tate firm, Bennett & Myers Of Denver
had to foreclose a mortgage on what
they thought a most undesirable piece
Of property The real estate firm put
young man named George Carr in
charge as foreman. Soon Carr com
planned that his cowboy, Bob Womack,
had the prospecting fever and that he
was digging so many prospect holes
on the ranch that cattle were falling
in them and being injured. He tried

day morning when Lightfoot became
suddenly violently insane. Grasping
an iron bar which was close at hand,
he struck at Maloney and the blow
landed on the overseer's head, crush

sought to effect his escape. Mile
