Chickens Are Commoners.

Des. Moines, Mar. S.-No less a
person than c. A. Robbins assistant
attorney general says chickens are
free commoners and are entitled to
run at large and if farmers and 9TH
ers do not want their neighbors chic
kens scratching up their gardens and
flower beds, they will have to force
them out. And what is more. 1t is
unlawful for the owner of the des-
troyed garden to take down his shot
gun and kill the chickens. If he does
the owner has a case in court for
damages. In cities the councils can
pass ordinances controlling the chic
ken but the laws Of the state give
the chicken the right of way.

AS explained here today by DR.. w.
G. Stewart, assistant state veterinar-
ian, there is an absolutely "closed
area" for a radius of five miles from
where the case exists. Outside of
that another five miles reaches the
limits of the modified area; and
outside of that still another five
miles reaches to the limits of ''re-
stricted area" having a radius of fif-
teen miles from the location OF the
diseased animals. This latter ere
stricted area" is the one that reaches
into Fayette county. Within it, cat
tie can be shipped out for no purpose
except immediate slaughter, and that
only after inspection by federal vet
