DON'T BUILD POULTRY nuusE
TOO WIDE OR TOO HIGH

A poultry house should not he 20
wide that the sun cannot reach the
back of the house, says Mrs. Kate NJ.
Wells, poultry specialist. Division of
Extension, University of Tennessee
or it will be damp. Eighteen feet is
. convenient width for large house
IL there are no alleyways.
The house should be built % low as
possible without danger of attendants
humping their heads against the ceil-
ing. A low house is more easily
warmed than high one. Dimensions
recommended by Mrs. Wells are 3 feet
high at back and Z to s feet high in
front.
The size Of the building required
will depend largely on the number Of
fowls to be kept and on the size Of
the fiocks. From 25 to 100 seems to
be about as many as is safe and eco,
noInical to keep together. With fiocks
of this size about square feet of floor
space should be allotted to each bird
which will suffice In most cases where
careful attention Is given to cleanli
ness and ventilation. Three TO 81
square feet Is enough for Leghorns In
large NOD If the fowls are kept il
smaller fioeks little more floor space
per bird will be needed. Where tho
climate is so mild that il Is unnecessary
TO keep the fowls confined, except foi
few days at time, and especially
II the fowls are kept in small colony
houses, less space per bird will be suf-
ficient. The smaller breeds. being
more active and restless require about
ms much room aSpthe iarger breeds.

From The Game Warden.

The quail 'ason will soon op-
en- in this county and | amdesir-
ious and very anxious that ev-
cry sportman observe the game
laws and purchase his hunting
license before he goes hunting.
Heretofore the game laws have
not been observed as they should
have. been, and the result has
been that the game has been de-
stloyed without protection.
am appointing deputy ward
ems in your county for the pro.
lection of your game and fish and
this department is anxious in
deed that all sportmen. cooper
ate with me and see that the
game laws are enforced and that
every hunter buys his license.
Your license fund goes to this
department to help defray the
expenses of enforcing the law
for the protection of game and
fish, and the law provides that
the department must live within
| its revenue; or in other words,
they can use no fund except that
derived from the sale Of licenses
and fines from their convictions.
! am trying to make yon a good
game warden. / am a sportman
and 1 know that the majority Of
the srortmen in your county and
real men are glad to assist the
department all they can, and can
render this department valuable
service by speaking a good word
| for the protection Of the game to
your friends and neighbqrs and
| insist that they equip themselves
with hunting licenses before the
season opens. / am trying to en-
force the laws on a high plane
and I am instructing my ward
ems to disregard frivolous cases,
but to prosecute the wilful VIOLA
tors.
The revenue in some counties
is SO small it is impossible to EN-
ploy q warden at a salary until
the revenue derived from the
county is sufficient to justify the
department to pay salaries.
/ viii greatly appreciate all CO
operation and investigation Of
the deputies. / expect every
sportman and the citizens gener-
ally to assist me to, stock every
stream in Tennessee with fine
fish. but before / can do so,
must have the full cooperation,
and the dynamiting and seining
will have to be stopped.

THos. +. PgCK. Commissioner of Agriculture
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Same weeks ago | had some
thing to say in regard to the
newspapers of the State. and
the great power they exercised
for good in their communities.
and the duty of the citizens of
these communities to give their
papers their whole-hearted sup
port. | feel that a few more
words on this subject would not
be amiss. just now at the time
when the country papers are call
ing attention to Home Paper
Week. "
For sixteen years / published
a county weekly newspaper, and
during that time | learned many
things about it's possibilities and
its limitations. | came to under
stand how much is expected of
the county paper. and how. in
many cases, scant appreciation
is shown by the work done by
newspapers.
The newspaper in every COM
munity does more gratuitous
work than any individual or or
ganization in that community.
The newspaper man is a natural
booster it is his natural inclina-
ton You may go into any COM
munity and make inquiries about
the location of new industries,
and you viii find that the news
paper has been the chief factor
in inducing new capitol and me-
business to come into the ce 4
,nunity. It is often the case tfKst
the newspaper man is SO inter-
ested in boosting everybody else's
business that he neglect's to
boost his own in the degree that
It should be.
The newspaper mans vocation
is one he can well afford to be
proud Of, and one which he is
justified il boosting. Others
win respect the newspaper and
give ii tsupport sometimes when
some Of the boosting spirit is
evidenced in the interest of the
newspaper.
The newspaper is the moulder
of public opinion--it makes and
nnmakes politicians. and it is the
power above all others that makes
for the progress and prosperity
Of acommunity, The industrial
deaeIopsnent in Tennessee dur
inn the last decades has been
phan0menal. and il has been
brought about largely By the
spirit Of the newspapers Of the
State ii advertising Cur great
: natural reaources in eoal, iron,
phosphate and other minerals.
And in q similar degree the great
agricultural development Of the
State Is largely due to the spirit
of cooperation shown by the
press of the State in cooperating
with the Department of Agricul-
ture and the Division Of Exten-
sion In, the spread of knowledge
Of the best methods in farming.
But there remains a great deal
to be done, and / am quite sure
that the newspapers of the State
will continue to cooperate in the
development of the agricultural
interests of the State. because
they realize that agriculture il
the basic industry. and unless
the agricultural classes of the
nation are prosperous there car
be no permanent prosperity fol
the State and Nation.
We are all interested in the
agricultural development of the
> State. Originally our land in
Tennessee was all fertile, but We
have followed q system of farm
ing that in many cases has robb
ed the soil sof its fertility. On
every hand can be seen gallet
hillsides, the result of poor farm
ing. The country newspapel
