INTERIOR Of THE
POULTRY HOUSE.
By G.. Il. OOnkey.


| A good floor must be moistur,
and rat proof, free from cracks
easily cleaned, and be durable
Three kinds are commonly used
earth, wood or cement. Each
type has its advantages but usual
ly the question of cost determines
which one Is to be used A prop
erly constructed cement floor
meets all the requirements of a
good floor and is used considera.
bly, 10 the better class Of houses.
When covered with several inches
OF litter, as it should be, it il not
a cold floor as might be supposed.
! Considering also that cement
floor is permanent feature be.
cause of it's durability, it is really
not. expensive. Where there is
danger Of dampness a few rows of
tile are sometimes run through
the floor. A coating of hot tar
over the finished surface, will it is
claimed, keep all moisture from
coming through.
A dirt floor Is often used be
cause Of it's cheapness and where
1t can be kept dry it has some ad
vantages. Its nature makes 1t a
good busting place for the birds
but at times It may cause too
much dust in the house for their
comfort and welfare. In that
case, oil such as il commonly used
on roads, IL added to the dirt q lit.
tie at q time, will keep the dust
down.
An earth floor must be renewed
to a depth Of several inches, at
least once or twice q year, for i,
will become contaminated with
the droppiDgs. Your dirt floor !
should be built up inside the
house and where the land ia not
we'll drained q one too, fll.in il |
none too much.
Board floors are considerably
used in poultry houses and as a
rule will be found satisfactory
II built with good lumber they are
quite durable providing they are
not too close to the ground. |

All men like to leave monu.
ments behind them. The Taylor
bridge will be a monument tc
the total imcompetency of the
present board of supervisors il
they can ever get the blamed
thing built so it will stay put.
Contrary to the law they refused
to let the bridge by contract tc
some reliable contractors but at.
tempted to build the bridge by
day labor under the direction OF
some pet overseer. 1t was to be
an iron bridge with concrete
piers, which demanded expert
knowledge in it's construction.
Within a few weeks after its
completion the bridge fell into
the creek. Then it took more
day labor to take it apart and
haul it out of the river for a new
start. The original investment
was lost. They finally tackled
the job again when they got all
the pieces out of the river, with
day labor and a pet overseer in
charge. The bridge was COM
pleted about a month ago, and
now handsome signs adorn each
end notifying the public to keep
off. 1t has sagged down in the
middle like sway-backed mule,
and is on the verge of total col
lapse. We understand the SUI
pervisors have now issued orders
to have it taken down. Here is
the second investment that is a
total loss. Just what they will
do the next time is hard to tell,
but if the county funds hold out
they will probably continue re-
building the bridge until it gets
tired falling down and will stay
put from sheer exhaustion. The
county will have about SIS, 900
invested in this bridge by the
time it is rebuilt again, when
originally it could have been con-
structed for $500 by any respon-
sible firm of bridge builders.

There is a beauty and a salts
faction in having such an agile
attorney general as Wiley b.
Jones to had down opinions for
the guidance of the people. He
hands out an opinion, and then
puts his ear to the ground. II
it seems to go we'll he lets it
stand, but if he hears any strange
rumblings he Immediately hands
down another opinion that will
silence the threatened storm.
We have only resided in Arizona
a brief year, but in that time
Jones has been on every side OF
every question that has come
before his office in that time.
His latest flop is on the registra-
tion law. He now says any
voter can change his registration
from one party to another by
simply cancelling his former reg.
istration and re-register. Sim.
pile, amt it? And yet only a few
months ago there came an opinion
out of the attorney-gen s
office that no corrections could be
made when once voter was reg.
istered.

The agitation for one-cent letter
postage still continues with
unabated vigor by the association
having that subject in hand. 1t
is now figured out that letter
postage at present rates nets the
government a profit each year of
over seventy-fve million dollars,
but this is practically all consum-
ed by the department to make
up the deficit created by hauling
magazines about the country
at the rate of 1c a pound. The
agitation now is to make the
magazine publishers pay their
just portion of the expense for
transporting their publications,
and then 1c letter postage can be
established.

Hughes on Wilson.

4AaSASo OA w Ao0As
The democratic press are trying
to stay the storm that threatens
the destruction of the party,
by attempting to belittle the re-
publican nominee, Mr.. Hughes,
with their childish editorial carp
ings. Even the writer for the
Albuquerque Journal has fallen
into the same strain in his writ
ings, which sheds no lustre to
his journalistic ability, and cer-
tainly carries no conviction. Mr..
Hughes is laying bare the mis-
takes of the democratic admins
tration, it's lack of statesman
ship in handling the larger ma
tional problems, and it's total dis
regard for the pledges of the
democratic platform, with telling
effect. If Mr.. Hughes seems
puerile in some of his speeches
it is because that quality attaches
to the particular policy he is cas-
tigating.
They object to Mr.. Hughes ex-
posing the duplicity of the Will
son administration in violating
the civil service laws, and filling
public positions with relatives of
the numerous official families in
Washington. They want him to
talk on a larger subject that will
not seer their flesh. They object
because Mr.. Hughes has declared
for universal suffrage for women
and thus taken an advance posi-
tion on question that Mr.. Will
son and the democratic party has
been side-stepping for four years,
claiming it is undignified for q
candidate to express a conviction
not specifically mentioned in the
party platform. Mr.. Wilson VIC
lates every specific plank in his
platform even after endorsing
them in public speech.
Another objection advanced
against Mr.. Hughes is that his
speeches are all directed against
the policies of the Wilson admin
Iistratiop, and offers no corrective
plans as a substitute. If this
accusation was true in fact Mr..
Hughes has not digressed the
best rules governing argumenta-
tion. To review the case of your
Opponent, unscathingly pointing
lout his weakness, his faults, anC
his follies is proper opening fol-
a debate, forcing the hand OF
|your opponent to a defense OF
his policies, and in this case Mr..
Hughes seems to have done q
most effective job. The republi-
can platform is the monitor for
the policy Mr.. Hughes will pur-
sue, and on these points he will
make himself clear in the closing
argument of the campaign. AT
this time Mr.. Hughes is busy
ripping off the mask of hypocri-
cy from the administration, ex.
lposing to public view the spine
less policies of a dreaming theor-
list, the idle meaningless bonn
bardment of words of school
master statesman, and the throt-
Ting of civil service by the cum
ming politician and spokesman.
