Necessity of Education.
The report OF the committee to oppose
the judicial recall tells of a campaign
Of education carried on during the last
year. The necessity for this campaign
is argued from the fact that OREGON.
California, Arizona, and Nevada have
adopted the recall Of judges, and that
constitutional amendments to the same
effect are to be submitted in Kansas
and Minnesota. The movement has also
shown strength in Wisconsin, Illinois,
and Ohio, the committee SAYS.
The suggestion that the United States
Commerce Court be made a court OF
patent appeal is deprecated by the COM
mittee on patent. trademark, and copy
right law. The report states that Gov.
SulZer OF New York was a conspicuous
friend of a bill to create a separate
court of patent appeal. and the commit
tee approves this plan. and argues fo-
a~separate court for patent matters.

broken down, and we find her side by side
with men in the steel mill as well as in
the office. Even housewives are recog-

comparable with that of their sisters in
Industry. Under such conditions 1t is
narrow policy which would put unneces-
sary and harsh restrictions on the insur-
ance of women on the score of sex alone.
L believe that this advanced attitude
in developing our plans for the insurance

is large and growing one, and presents
to active insurance men a virtually un-

POULTRY FOR THE BOY
Desirable to Manage Them Sepa-
rate From Other F owls.
Plan Given for the Construction Of
Suitable House to Accommodate
Ten Hens and Male-Coop
May Be Enlarged.
(By KATHERINE ATHERTON
GRIMESl

(By KATHERINE ATHERTON
GR1MES0
The boy who has fowls of his own
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 accom-
modate ten or twelve hens and male,
has been found very satisfactory. It
may be enlarged for a greater number,
always remembering that each addi-
tional fowl means from five to eight
square feet more of floor space.
The coop In question is five feet
wide and twelve feet long, giving a
floor space of sixty square feet-fve
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 On most farms there are odds
and ends Of boards enough to put
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1913-05-06

up such coop, except for the roof
ing. AS no glass is used, the only
additional expense will be for nails,
hinges, a few yards of cheap cotton
domestic, and little poultry net
ting.
The door into the coop is put at one
end of the front wall. 1t is not closed
with solid door, but with frame
covered with wire netting, having a
curtain Of muslin on the inside for
use in cold weather. The upper half
Of the remaining part Of the front is
also left open and covered with net
ting, with an inside muslin curtain.
In warm weather these curtains are
kept rolled up, but in cold weather
they are let down over the openings.
They should be large enough to cover
them well, and have weights at the
bottom to hold them In place. If a
hen is run in, and a rather heavy slat
thrust through the casing thus formed,
they will stay in place very we'll.
The only other openings in the coop
are four little square doorways, eight
by ten inches in size. If the hens are
very large, these may be made some
what larger each way. One Of these
little doors should be in each end, and
one in each lower corner of the back
wall. They are closed with a sliding
panel, set in a little frame, which
can be raised or lowered by a wire or
stout cord. Only one is, of course, to
be used at time.
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, foot from the
floor, make 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 roosting frame put legs
a foot long, which should rest on this
dropping board when the roost is
lowered in place. Have both roosting
poles the same height, not set so the
frame will slant.
On the ceiling, directly above the
roost, nail strips of inch boards SO as
to make frame the same size, or a
trif1e larger, than the roost itself. To
this tack strips of burlap sacking long
enough to reach the floor, and wide
enough to completely surround the
coop when they are dropped in place
At the lower edges put Stats to keep
them in place, as on the other cur
tains. On cold nights this makes
snug, and yet not stuffy. sleeping place
for the biddies. In the warmer parts
Of the country this inside curtain
will not be needed, but in the colder
states it will give ample protection
through the winter. 1t should be
rolled up during the day.
The nest boxes-two are plenty
should be placed in the darkest part
OF the coop. This will be against the
front wall, in the corner farthest
from the outer door. A box three
feet long and a foot deep, with parti-
ton in the middle, and doors cut in
the ends, makes good nest when
turned bottom side up over a nice
deep bed of clean straw.
