NOTE.
OF WARNING
Van Buren, County to be
the Battle Ground at
Spring Election.
VETS TO PUT UP STRONG FIGHT
Optimistic Citizen Predicts County
Will Have Hardest Fight
In Its History.
Paw Paw, Mich, Nov. 8, 90.

Paw Paw, Mich, Nov. 8, 90
EDITOR TRUE NoRTHERNER:
1t is with pleasure that we note your
issue. We believe the present a most
opportune time to sound warning to
the temperance people of Van Buren,
county. The writer is no pessimist, but
this optimistic view is, We believe, large
ly prevalent over the county.
Ii we are not mistaken, and we think
we are pot, Van Buren, county will have
next spring elections she has ever had to
90 up against The secret arrangements
that are now going forward are being
made by men who are schooied in such
warfare, and they know how to fight.
You may be sure we will have 20 eX
saloon keepers nor corner loafer's meth
DDS and ability to combat. Ii we are
Van Buren, county will be the battle
ground, and the county in which tre-
mendous efforts will he made to gain an
entering wedge to split asunoer the
forces of local option. Van Buren,
county stands conspicuous as the banner
local option county of the state OF Mich
igan. If by any possible means this
county could be turned back into the
wet column it would be worth untold
thousands of dollars to the saloon ele-
ment, to say nothing about the tremen-
Gous influence it would have for the
cause of intemperance
We were very fortunate in having ia
our last legislature a man OF good iudg-
ment, man OF wisdom and large eXper-
fence, who, perhaps more than any other,
! is to be given the honor OF placing upon
our statute books law which has done
more 10 the first sixty days of its en-
! forcement to discourage liquor selling
than all the law We have had upon the
subject 10 the twenty years of our local
option history
Under the old law drug stores grew
and hourished. 1t IS true energetic and
drastic prosecutions put some Of them
/ out Of business, but about every year a
new crop Of fools took their places
/ Where there is the least opportunity to
violate law, it stands to reason that
there will be the least violations. OF
course there are drug stores and drug
stores, and not all of them by any means
exist for the sole purpose of selling
booze But, as before remarked, drug
stores grew and hourished as the greer
bay tree. They multiplied until almost
every village in the county had from
two to half dozen. We venture to sa,
there are more. drug stores CLOSED up
more drug stores for sale, more drue
stores moving out of the county, thar
ever before in her history.
There are Just two classes of people
that the writer heartily despises. Th,
first is the mao, who goes into
the drug business, and under the cloal
OF religion, or his political pull, expects
to be immune from his otfeuses. The
second is the corn-fed politician VIII,
is active in hunting out and prose
cutting the poor wretcnes who are large
ly the victims OF our mistakes, to thu
end that he may make himself soiC
with the brethren, and thereby secure
few votes and slide into good ia
county office.

Convenient Hencoops.

As poultry houses on farms have
to be repaired often as a general rule,
would 1t not be better to build more
substantial ones at first and save the
trouble and expense Of continually
improving them? Let us consider
this matter. The carpenter usually
thinks that any kind of wood will do
for a henhouse, and in that he is
much mistaken. Only the we'll 9 a
soneds wood should be used, for
when the damp days arrive, the house
having no heat in it, the boards will
shrink and expand until they are out
OF shape more or less, and then there
are cracks to contend with. Use the
best wood In the first place.
Another point worth considering is
that of planning the boards that are

with narrow strips of wood, b c on
each side of the hole b c. This acts
as a groove for the door a to slide
in. Thus you have a sliding door,
which opens and shuts with the great
est ease. The front of the coop is
inclosed with lath or narrow strips.
placed two and a half to three inches
apart. Tbs top should be covered
with a good grade of roofing paper to
make it waterproof. A coop of this
sort should be two to two and a half
feet long, sixteen inches deep and
not less than twenty inches high.
while two feet would be better.
The simplest coop is the common
A-shaped coop. 1t is quickly and
easily made. This coop may be con-
structed either with or without e
floor. A floor is desirable, except DUR
ing warm weather and where the
soil drains quickly.
The box coop shown In the second
sketch in some respects is preferable
to the A-shaped coop, for in the lat
ter the hen can stand upright only
near the middle OF the coop, while
with the box coop the entire floor
space is available for her and the
chickens. The box coop is also o
easily cleaned.
If desired a small covered run can
be made for each coop. This is es-
pecially desirable If there is danger
of losses from cats, hawks, etc.
Fresh air is essential for the
health of the fowls. A successful
poultry raiser says:
Zone of my poultry houses is
lathed and plastered, while another
is single boarded with paper lining
on two sides. 1t has four half win
dows on south side and a frame fitted
over each window with cloth stretched
and tackled on. In this house / have
been getting the most eggs and no
frozen combs, although the drinking
water freezes. The plastered house
drew dampness until / had an old
screen door hung and tackled cotton
! cloth over it. Soon after the hens
began to lay."-Weekly Witness.

appearance, and then buy a frst-
class rooster from some breeder who
has q different strain Of the same
breed, so as to avoid i~nbreeding.
The best rooster that can be found
for what you AN afford to pay should
be selected. It is easy to grade up q
flock to good hens, by using the best
ROSTERS every year and selling all of
the pullets that are not up to the
breed standard.
After o get started, subscribe for
some good farm Or poultry paper and
keep up with the times. There is
much pleasure and profit in studying
the business and in excelling in some
special line, when others have failed.
