JuDaDE cowAN's IMPEACHMENT

It is serious thing to charge an Of
fetal in public life with misconduct
, that warrants impeachment. We have
heard repeated and read in public print
some of the acts with which Judge
Cowan is charged in afidavits that
have been made. The public is fairly
we'll acquainted with these charges, so
we will not go into details here regard
, ing them We do wish to say, however,
t'and that most cmphatically, that in our
I, ten years Of personal acquaintance with
, Judge Cowan, our observation of his
official and private conduct, our exper-
fence with him in affairs that pcrtained
/ to the judicial proceedings of his court,
we have never seen one act that was
unworthy of his dignity as a judge
or lerogatory to his character as man.
We have never heard single serious
charge made against him before-never
until certain differences arose as to the
, conduct Of civic affairs in his home
| citv-which have recently assumed an
/ acute and acrimonious character. We
| believe that impeachment charges
would never have been started or
heard of, if it had not been that GER
tain pers ),al enemies =. Judge Cowan
thought that in this way they eoull
balance off their uneven score. 1t was
an unworthy motive that prompted the
beginning of these proceedings, and we
cordially invite those who are response
BILE for doing so to first cast the beam
out Of their own eye' that they may
see more clearly how to take "the
mote from their brothers. eye.' Judge
Cowan, we understand, even against the
advice of many of his warmest person
al friends, demands full and com
plete Investigation which we believe and
hope will clear him of the various acts
of private and official misconduct with
which he is charged. What Cando
thinks of the Judge and his accusers
was clearly shown in signed state
ment of most of our leading citizens
which was sent in by wire last Friday
night. We believe up here that his err
mine is unstained with official wrong
doing, and his character, in contrast
with that of those who are trying to
ruin him, as clean and pure as the
driven snow.-Cando Herald.

foundation. If rats are troublesome
the foundation under the walls of the
house should be made of concrete
and tight bottom of concrete over
which four inches of gravel may be
spread This gravel is covered with
six inches of litter, which must be
changed as rapidly as 1t becomes damp
or dirty.
Pure Water Essential.
Plenty of clean water above the
freezing temperature in winter is quite
important. A large part of the CON-
position of the egg is water and the
hens need regular and ample sup
ply to do their best work. II water Is
placed In the poultry house while
slightly warm, the necessity of making
arrangements to prevent freezing will
be avoided. The prime essential Is
to keep drinking vessels clean. Scald
them frequently and rinse out every
day. The drinking vessels should be
placed on a platform IL to IS inches
above the general level Of the floor,
so that litter will not be scratched into
the vessel. An ordinary No. IL gal
vanized iron pail Is most practical for
the ordinary poultry house. 1t Is easy
to handle and clean and can be car
ried without difficulty better than
shallow pan or one Of the patented
drinking fountains.
Bes; Form Of Feed Troughs.
For feeding a wet mash fat
trough feet inches wide, with sides
4 inches high s feet long. is ample
for flock Of 40 hens. This nat trough
is better than the V-shaped, so COM
monty used. as 1t is much easier to
clean and is not upset so readily.
For feeding dry mash, the main
hopper is about the best arrangement
ever devised. It consists of square
fiat box inches wide Slated on the
side with perpendicular stats Q
inches apart and has a sloping top,
which will not permit the fowls to
roost upon 1t. When used In q house
this hopper has openings only on one
side, and Is hung against the wall.
The narrow openings permit the hens
to eat the dry mash, but not to
scratch 1t out into the litter.
Dark Nests Preferable.
The darkened nest has several ad.
vantages In that hens are less liable
to break and eat their eggs or to dis.
turb each other. The nest should be
at least 12x14 inches In size and
