TAFT DEFEATS RAILROADS.
Prevents Increase In Freight Rates by
Wiaoroua Action.

Prevents Increase In Freight Rates by
Vigorous Action.
President Taft's method of doing his
work as president without seeking to
achieve personal notoriety from his
good works was never better illusrat-
ed than in his ulimatum TO the rail-
roads Of the country which prevented
n general increase in railroad rates just
prior to the adoption of amendments
to the railroad rate law two years ago
The president served notice upon the
railroads that if they anticipated the
new law they would be hailed into
court, and as a result of subsequent
conferences the railroads agreed to
postpone their action until the new law
was passed.
In the new law of congress President
Taft assisted in inserting a provision
which transferred from the shoulders
of the shipper to that of the railroads
the burden of proof in establishing the
reasonableness of railroad rate
Prior to that time the practice had
been just the opposite, with the result
that many shippers who were or had
been suffering from discriminatory
rates or practices, were unable to prove
their cases without great expense or
long litigation or both. Under this new
law the railroads subsequently made
application for an increase in their
rates and the interstate commerce com
mission, not being satisfied with the
showing of tie railroads as to their
reasonableness. denied them. Thus
one of the great achievements of Presi
dent Taft came to pass, an achieve
ment which affected every man, wom-
an and child in the country but it was
done so quietly that it has almost been
forgotten by many who were benefited.

GIVE THE BOY SMALL FLOCK
Plan Given for Coop to Accommodate
Ten or Twelve Fowls and Has
Been Found Satisfactory.
By MRS. *. a. GRIMEsJ

II boy has fowls Of his own, he
will want to manage them so as to
keep them separate from the other
poultry on the farm. The following
plan which is arranged to accommo-
date ten or twelve hens and male,
has been found satisfactory.
The coop in question is five feet
wide and twelve feet long, giving a
floor space Of sixty square feet-five
or six square feet per hen. 1t is six
feet high at the front and four feet
at the back, and is built from cheap
lumber and covered with tarred roof
ing.
The door into the coop is put at one
end of the front wall. 1t is closed with
a frame covered with wire netting hay
ing a curtain of muslin on the inside
for use in the cold weather. The up
per half Of the remaining part of the
front is also left open and covered
with netting, with an inside muslin
curtain.
In the warm weather these curtains
are kept rolled up, but in cold weather
they are let down over the openings.
The only other openings in the coop
are four little square doorways, eight
by ten inches in size.
In the center Of the back wall, two
feet above the floor, fasten frame
two feet wide and three feet long,
carrying two roosting poles. This
frame should be hinged to the wall,
so it can be raised out of the way
when desired.
Under it, a foot from the floor,
make a little platform of boards TO
catch the droppings. Do not fasten
this anywhere, as you will want TO
take it up to clean it.
On the front corners of the roost-
ing frame put legs a foot long, which
should rest on this dropping board
when the roost is lowered in place.
Have both resting poles the same
height, not set so the frame Will slant.
On the ceiling, directly above the
roost, nail strips of inch board so as
to make a frame the same size, or a
triae, larger, than the roost itself.

ing long enough to reach the floor,
