PROGRESS ON NEW CAPITOL
Railroad Commission Moved to New.
Quarters Executive Offices to
Be Ready Next Month

Madison.-The main Offices of the
railroad commission were moved
from the second floor of the old
south wing Of the capitol into rooms
on the ground floor of the new east
wing. This is somewhat of a change
from the plan made some time ago
to make temporary home for the
entire office and administrative force
OF the commission in the new Wash
lngton building on East Washington
avenue, just off Pinckney street.
1t is understood that the original
plan is changed to the extent that
only the clerical. statistical and en-
cheering departments will go to
the quarters engaged, while the COM
missioners themselves will be pro-
v1ded quarters more easily accessi-
BILE from the other departments of
state
The executive Offices, and those Of
the state superintendent, the COM
missioner of banking, the adjutant
general and the. tax commissioner,
are all that now remain in the old
south wing
Gov. Davidson expects to occupy
the new executive Offices in the east
wing by the first of the month. The
others in the south wing will have
to vacate soon for the workmen are
gradually working their way from
the center and soon will have RACED
the old structure.

POULTRY
&<Z&yx2|
EXCELLENT HOUSE FOR HENS
for Constructing Building for
rs to 90 Fowls.

An excellent house for poultry Is
described and illustrated by Mrs. w.
T. Walters Of Sloan Springs, Ark,
in Farmers Mail and Breeze, as fol-
lows:
One end of the henhouse is to the
south, the door opening on the east.
The upper part of south end and all OF
the east side Is of wire protected by
curtain, and the upper half of the door
is also wire screening. Here in ArkanA
sas this is necessary to insure good
ventilation and avoid dampness. IN
case of rain or snow we lower the
curtain. In Kansas and Nebraska 1t
will be necessary to line north end
and west side of house with tar or felt
paper. The house is IL by Is feet and
will accommodate from Is to 80 fowls.
If roosts and nests are made
movable the cleaning will be an easy
matter. The roosts in our house are
IA feet long and 11a inches square and
rest on trestles. The nests are light,
