4-W|RF FENCE
 BILL IS PASSED A. C. MARTIN OPPOSES 1T HIS AMENDMENT TO SUBMIT QUESTION TO VOTE IS
 DEFEATED.

Little Rock, March lover the protest of Senator A. c. Martin of Faulkner county, the senate this morning passed house bill Mo- 190, making four-wire fence a lawful enclosure in Pope and Faulkner coun- ties, and prohibiting hogs from run ming at large in those counties. Sen ator Martin voted against the bill, but it was passed almost unani- mously.
 The reason the senate did not heed the objections of Senator Martin was that the bill included Pope county, where the farmers are said to be highly in favor of such law, and it was passed by Senator Covington fro mthe district in which Pope coun- ty is located, who urged that it be passed without amendment.
 The bill was called up by Senator Covington yesterday afternoon. While on it's second reading, Senator Martin offered an amendment eXempting Faulkner county from it's provisions until an election on the question had been held in this county, the amend ment being as follows:
 'Provided, that the provisions of this act shall not apply to Faulkner county until the same shall be sub mitted to the qualified electors of Faulkne rcounty at the next general election. That the commissioners of election shall cause to be printed on the ballots the words For Four Wire Fence and Against Four Wire Fence;' shall canvass said vote and declare the result thereof@in manner provided by law. If majority vot- ing on this question shall vote for four-wire fence, then the provisions of this act shall be in full force and effect in Faulkner county within ninety (90) days from and after said election"
 In support of his amendment Sen ator Martin said he had received a great many letters and petitions from his. constituents both for and against the proposed law and was unable to determine whether majority of the people desired such law or not. Sen ator Covingto nstated that this coun- ty had been included by it's represen- tative in the lower house, and that to amend it would practically defeat the bill, as it would have to go back to the house for concurrence. The peo- pie of Pope county, he stated, were very anxious for the law, and he re- quested the senate to vote down the amendment. This was done and the bill was made special order for this morning.
 When the bill came up for consid- eraton this morning, Senator Martin endeavored to secure it's postpone ment, but was unsuccessful and on it's final passage he and one or two others were the only senators voting in the negative

THEY WILL BE BUSINESS MEN
Two Young Lads Who Are Displaying the Wisdom of Presidents of
 Railways

To modernize an old phophecy, "Out of the mouths of babes shall come much worldly wisdom" MT. K has two boys whom be dearly loves. One day he gave each a dollar to spend. After much bargaining. they brought home a wonderful four-wheeled steam boat and a beautiful train of cars.
 For awhile the transportation bust ness flourished. and all was we'll, but one day Craig explained to his father that while business had been good, he could do so much better if he only had the capital to buy a train oi cars like Joe's His argument mus: have been good, for the money was forthcoming. Soon after. little Joe. with probably less logic but more loving, became possessed of a dollar to buy a steamboat like Craig's. But Mir. K. who had furnished the addi tionaI capital. looked in vain for the improved service.
 The new rolling stock was not ID evidence, and explanations were vague and unsatisfactory. as is often the case in the railroad game at which men play. It took stern court Of in uuiry to develop the fact that the rail road and steamship had simply changed hands-and at a mutual profit of 100 per cent. And Mir K. as he told his neighbor, said 1t was worth that much to know that his boys would not need much of a legacy from him.-Lippincott's Magazine

draining the Everglades and their reclamation, and that there was no doubt that the Everglades contained the richest land in the world.
 There is no doubt but that Florida is the coming country. People are going in there by the thousands and the price of land all over the state is appreciating very rapidly.
 At Tallahassee, the capital of the state, l had the pleasure of meeting and talking with several of the off cers of the state, among them Mir. McLin, the state commissioner of agriculture He told me that the lands belonging to the state were now in process of being reassessed and that there was not a piece of land in the state, that is, state land, that would not be assessed for at least S7 per acre. As to Eyerglade land I am satisfied that the state authorities who have control of the lands in the Everglades, will work in conjunction with the land companies which are helping 10 drain the land and will not sell the state lands in the future without due regard to the best inter- ests of the state and all parties con cerned.
 ! met quite a number of Florida land men, who operate from Chicago. and | want to say that I never met finer class of men anywhere. There was a time % years ago, that there were a great many sharpers in the land business, but that condition has changed and a company with ques- tionable methods is rarely met with today. With the average intelligence met with in people today and the case of ascertaining the standing of companies, company that is not able to make a good showing does not stand much chance to do business. While I did not see the Everglades, am confident from what I learned from people who had. that 1t is a wonderfully rich country, containing ! great possibilities and a safe and sane investment.
 Very truly yours,
 J. w. HENDERSON.

seaqulls of lerwIek.

The seaguils are the sparrows Of Lerwick. and as such they have a greater share in the towns life than have the sparrows of London. In the morning time you will note that a sea gull sits on every chimney pot Sea gulls sNoop and hover over every roof in the town. The air is full of their strange. high, plaintiye, haunting cries. The children in each house haze a pet name for their particular sea gull. and having called them by those names, they feed them every day And each seagull knows what is meant for him. No seagull attached Co one house ever seeks 10 eat the food scattered from the house next door. He does not dare: the other gulls would kill him. The people of the town, ii they come across a little pile of rice laid upon the roadway, step over 1t with care.

each end, it was six feet wide, two
and one-half feet deep and with
slanting roof three feet high at back
and FIVE or six feet In front and was
built onto the outside of the house at
the ends with an opening which ad-
mitted the fowls to it from inside the
house and an opening from the out
side by which it Was cleaned. 1t was
the best idea of the old gentleman
and was as silly coutrivance as ever
originate in a chicken raiser's brain,
and that is saying great deal. After
the unfortunate pullets had sweated
and stank in these crazy affairs for
week or two [ ripped them off the
building and placed roomy roosts in
side, against the walls of the house.
| then run a partition across the
center of the house and had two pens,
each II by 16 feet and each one capable
of housing 40 Leghorns very comfort
ably. The entire front of the house
was of wire netting, from sill to plate,
but finding the house to be drafty
along the floor boarded up the front
to height Of two and one half feet
from the ground, leaving three foot
wire covered opening the whole length
of the house. l now had a pretty
good chicken house and it has been
in constant use ever since, and with
good results but since that time [
have built better laying houses for
half the money; as described in some
building articles published in this
paper few months ago.
l fenced up two yards to each pen
and, having plenty of room, enclosed
about 5000 square feet of ground to
each yard. The Brown Leghorns with
which | started were a Eighty lot and
when let out of their house in the
morning would give a screech and
run around the big enclosures about
six times at top speed before coming
back to the pens for their breakfast in

exercise did not appear to increase
the egg yield and am now quite sure

While Matching and rearing our first
flock (the Brown Leghorn) we plan
ned our laying house aud went to
building it, but first we built brooder
house. Now at that time there was
not much in the way of modern
poultry houses on Puget Sound. We
looked around and visited about
good deal but could find nothing in
operation that was helpful to us. At
one place we found a large and ex-
pensive brooder house in process of
construction, but on SO large scale
that it was quite evident that it's
principles could not be applied to
the little plant we purposed starting.
And righg here L would like to say
that no greater mistake can be made
than that of modelling tiny plant
after a very large one. We could
not find any brooder house plans IN
print that seemed adaptable to our
means and wants. So the brooder
house I built was quite original in its
design. 1t answered the purpose we'll
enough but much better ones are
now to be found on all sides so will
not waste time in a detailed descrip
ton of it. 1t was designed to hold
300 chicks without crowding and, in
Guiding the fencing of five small yards
running from it, cost 800.
The laying house was built after
many consultations with the old friend
before mentioned. He favored a
depth of l6 feet but | cut it down to
II feet, increasing the length to make
up for loss in depth. AS finally con-
structed the dimensions we're 80 by
II feet, with roof, 519 feet from
sill to plate and ID feet height at
ridge; the roof being OF very steep
pitch, partly to shed the rain we'll,
but mostly because it made a pretty
building of it. For at that time l
was not thinking much of cost and
had not yet began to work out the
great problem of combining efficiency
with economy. A ridiculous feature
of this house was roosting closet at
