0LD.FASHI0NED HIGH R00STS

Sure to Follow.

Too many poultry keepers yet build
old-fashioned high roosts. The tree

fowl to fight for place on the highest
Of the rOOsts. Few you will notice,

breeds, high roosts mean sprained
legs, splinters or gravel In the feet,
and much suffering because of jump
ing from high rOosts.
Turkeys often show up with bum
ble-foOt or other kinds Of lameness
because they roOst so high. One can
also make the rOOsts too small.
Chickens are often lamed by giving
them rOOsts that allow the toes to go
clear around, and sink the claws In
the soft part Of the sole. This is sure
to cause sores, or ut least tender feet.

Good Plan to See That Curtains or

The habit Of visiting the poultry
house after the birds have gone to
roost during the winter months is a
good one. After the water vessels
have been emptied to keep them from
freezing overnight, 1t is good plan
to see that the curtains or windows
are down and everything is in shape.
If the grain feed for the following
morning is scattered in the litter the
birds will be busy and active as soon
as they come off the roosts. This Is
far better for them than standing
round an hour or SO in the cold morn

CAUSE OF TURKEY FAILURES
Among Other Reasons Assigned Ia
That Of Improper Feeding-cIoss
Confinement Hurts.

Improper feeding, combined with
close confinement, has been the cause
of many failures in turkey raising.
Given free range on the average farm,
the poults can easily pick up their own
living, and one light feed day for
the purpose of inducing them to come
In at night Is sufficient. If the mother
hen is confined to a coop and the
poults allowed to run in and out, three
times a day is often enough to feed
and very little should be given at a
time. The pOults should always be
ready to eat; If given all they will
clean up several times day, indiges-
tion will be the result. If there is
little or no feed outside the coop for
the poults to pick up, then they should
be fed about five times day, feeding

No, oh no. Charlottesville

ago, when Charlottesville with a
population of 1000 cast a vote
larger than their population?
One party who lived there
then, a mere youth, after coming
to Hayti and held public Office,
said several times that he drove
a wagon during election day and
that he himself voted a number
of times, and that he carried peo
pie to the polls all day long. And,
too, if the people are given a
chance to realize what the cree.
tion of new courthouse would
mean, they will take matters in.

same by an overwhelming vote.

BIG 81" LITTLE "U."

Just because the Argus takes 0
notion of discussing the need of the
county for o new courthouse, it does
not necessarily mean that we are try.
ing to take advantage Of anybody or
any place. We have not asked for any
vote upon the question or fixed an
amount for bond issue, and, until
we do, we are clearly within our
rights. There is no need for the Hayti
paper to begin its efforts to arouse
the old sectional jealousy again. 1t
would be far better for Hayti, Caruth-
vile and the entire county IT that
could be permitted to die out entirely,
instead of being raised to confront
the people every time public ques.
ton is up for consideration in which
the county as o whole is, or should
be, vitality interested. ed.-Caruthersvill
Argus.
We are not harping because
the Argus is wanting to get
something for Charlottesville,
but because he has let the matter
drift so long. Why didn't he
awake long ago. Oh no, not until
the question of the city hall in
Hayti was settled, because Hayti
had an offer to the county.
No, you are right. No vote has
been asked and no amount of a
bond issue has been set, that is,
made public. We have no doubt
but that the question has been
stirred very much behind the
wings, but to get by with it, your
hand must be shown to the
voters.
Come on out with it. The
Hayti paper Why don't you say
The Herald? We're not afraid tc
use your name, because, we want
to give some free advertising tc
the Argus. It's been so long since
the Argus has been in the lime
light. Probably it needs it.
The Argus is right when he
says it would be better fol
Hayti, Charlottesville and the
rest of the county, if the old
sectional jealousy was permitted
to die. But the Charlottesville
papers will not permit it. They
are party to the jealousy
wanting everything paid for by
the people of Pemiscot county to
be for the benefit of Caruthers
vile. Every since the inception OF
Hayti, that city has been a draw,
back. They've connived in every
sort of manner against Hayti and
its interest, and have never
stopped day or night to throw
something in our way and stop
the wheels of progress.
In 1906 they stole the local
option election, and placed
Hayti dry. In the same year
they stole the county seat from
Hayti. And they used every
means at their comm and to take
away the city hall erected on
block %. and did do il. thew have
gained control of our electric
light system. That doesn't look
much like US letting the old
feeling die out, does it.
And as far as a question being
up whereby the county is inter.
ested as a whole, the Argus is
right. The county is interested,
and that very much so. The
