Barry Working on His Plans.

1 Oh LIS ~
Barry is not yet ready to talk about the new
order he proposes to establish, but he will have
bis proclamation ready for the public in a few
days He believes that fully one-half of
the local assemblies, K. Of L., in the country
will desert and join the new movement. II the
teleerams and letters he is receiving are any IN
dication, there are many Knights dissatisfied
with Powderly. On Barry's desk yesterday
were kilograms from master workmsn al! over
the country. assuring him that he represented
the true Knights, and pledgina support IN any
thing he might undertake.. One telegram was
from the recording secretary OF the leading as
sembly in Massachusetts, stating that every
Knight Of Labor in New England would hence
forth refuse to follow Powderly.
Barry gave out an additional statement
yesterday in exposure Of Powderlys
methods. Ii treats a. length Of
the employment Of spies at the Richmond and
Minneapolis assemblies to spot every delegate
who was not in favor OF tue Powderly admins
this assembly. These spies, he charges, have
been logging the footsteps of delegates who had
the honor and manhood to assert their rights in
the convention. He alleges that Robert X.
Elliott, OF Uxbrdge. Mass, a member OF the
committee on grievances and appeals. was lis
tening at the Occidental Hotel Saturday even
Inc where the snti-P owderlyites were holding a
meeting. Barry states that while PowderIy
nnu inc momoers o1 Tue executive committee
are protesting to DO doing so much for organ
lied labor, they are constantly en-
ploying nen-union help in Poverty Pal
ice,r Philadelphia. Urion men. he AYERS, were
discharged 20 make place for the "scaos." He
then gives the following list OF names OF nom
union persons employed there: In the general

The majority Of persons who open MP new
farms invest most of their money in stock.
They think that the animals will grow and null
tiply while they are improving their places and
raising food for them. Many find at the end of
their first years operation that they have moth
ing TO feed their animals except wild hay and q
little sod corn. They have several filters Of
pigs, but next to nothing 20 feed to them. They
can manage to keep their cows and steers on
poor hay, but they will come through the winter
in bad condition. Their horses will lose flesh
if they do not have some grain. and they will
need oats or corn 70 enable them to work
in the spring. 1t seldom pays to purchase
corn to feed to hogs. and q new farm Is
ment with hope of success. II man has good
buildings and lives where corn 10 plenty he may
make money by buying it and feeding It to hogs.
With poor buildings and a scarcity of corn the
prospect Is good for losing money.
All kinds Of farm animals will depreciate in
value if they have nothing but wild hay to eat.
II they have been accustomed to better living
they will not be likely to breed. Cows will fail
to give much milk and young cattle will gain
very little. Horses must be well fed. especially

farmer who las poor buildings and no

deprived Of them they at once begin to lose flesh

scrubs. No farmer should take fine animals to
q place that is not prepared for them. Their
supsrior condition when he buys them is partly
owing to good blood and careful breeding. but
more is due to good quarters. careful attention,
and excellent food. Like their former owners,
they have been accustomed to good food.
