the metal workers are successful, then
will come the turn for another organize
ton. The financial condition of the
metal workers unions is reported to be
excellent at present. Work has been
good for many months and promises to
remain SO for some time to come. In
der these favorable conditions the
chances for success are good.
The country will never forget the first
blow struck her shorter hours by the
Federation of Labor That it was to end
in that bloody 18th of May in Haymarket
square, Chicago. could not have been
foretold by the leaders. No one re-
GREETED more than the leaders them
selves, who saw much of their work
undone. The bomb thrown by the anar-
chists on that day shattered their hopes
Of success for many months to come.
1t was not until the spring Of 1890,
that another May-day movement Of any
magnitude was attempted. This was
led by the carpenters, and, although
they had the sympathy and encourage
ment Of the federation. it was not .
general and concerted effort by the
federated trades, and much was won in
the way Of shorter hours and better
wages at this time. Much has been
gained since then by the various trades
acting individually.
1t is by working along distinct lines
that the ederation has accomplished 50
much for its membership. In this re-
spect 1t differs greatly from the Knights
Of Labor. The Knights have tried sym
pathetic strikes and have come out Of
the fray with sore experiences. Dur
Ing the great railroad strike inaugural
ed by the American Railway Union the
question OF sympathetic strikes was put
fairly before the convention.

tated. He wanted to see the A. r. U.
win, but he did not want to ask all the
trades to come ont. He ended by ask

against sympathetic strikes.

state shows something Of the result Of
organized efforts for IN eight-hour day.

Butterine Licenses Decreasing.

It will be a matter of profound con-
graduation to our readers who are all
interested in honest butter to know
that the butterine licenses in Chicago
during October have fallen much short
Of those of the year before; POI licenses
were issued during the month, while
during the month Of October, "a, 252
we're issued. The receipts from the
sale of stamps were 81 ,OS0.34, while the
receipts in October, '94, were $751;
p6S.04. The falling off is not limited to
the month of October. During the
month of September, but 81 licenses
were issued. as against 230 during the
same month in "a. For August, the
number was 20, and for August, "a,
1872; 400 licenses will have to be issued
IN November if the butterine business
Is to equal that of '94. We called the
attention last week of our readers to
the great decrease in the use of oleo-
margarine in Boston, the result of the
workings of the Massachusetts, law.
All that is necessary to confine the bust
ness to its legitimate channels is the
enactment Of similar laws in every

in former combats, have formed plans
which will be discussed from now to
May.
The plan of attack to be pursued
this spring may be somewhat different
from those which have been tried be-
fore. 1t has been proposed that some
one strong organization be selected to
make the first demand for an eight
hour day, and bear the brunt Of the
battle, being supported meanwhile by
the entire federation. While this has
not been decided definitely, 1t is most
likely that such course will be adopt
cd.
II this be the case the federated metal
trades will probably be the branch to
be selected. AT the second annual con-
ference of the metal trades held last
October at Chicago there was a good
deal eight-hour agitation. This was fol-
lowed by q poll of the entire organiza-
tion on the question of making q gen.
eral demand. The metal workers all
over the country voted. and there was

To Keep Him Cool.

Out in Montana, recently, "Old Bill
Lagrund," saloon keeper and noted
local tough, died. The barkeepers and
the girls in his houses all celebrated the
event by getting riotously drunk and
carrying TASKS of liquor to the funeral.

themselves that there was no deception

Some Poultry Methods.

TO make poultry a success. they
should receive good care and manage
ment, the same as any other stock.
When we want milk, lots Of it, and good
butter, we protect our cows from
storms, and feed them what we think
viii produce rich milk and good butter.
Hence We must have for our poultry q
warm poultry-house, where there will
be plenty Of sunshine and protected
through the day as we'll as night from
the storms.
The best feed I ever found to make
hens lay was wheat, not threshed, but
cut and feed to them straw-head and
Ill. After they have picked the wheat
from the heads. one has the straw for
bedding. It would pay any farmer or
poultryman to have wheat cut and
saved, straw and all; have it loose or
in sheaves, and feed what they need.
When wheat is only so cents per bushel
there Is no feed 50 cheap as wheat.
Through the winter, II the ground Is
covered with snow, they must be pro-
vided with oyster-shells or ground bone
to make shell. Feeding wheat heads
beats throwing grain among litter to
make them scratch for exercise, for
they viii scratch to get the wheat out
Of the heads.

wind, at least on very little more. OF
course, the farmer himself who does
not work on the Sabbath eats little
Or nothing during that day, feeling
that it would be a waste of food. Ha,
ha! Yes, methinks so! Is the compar-
ison not a relevant one?
Now, what is really the position?
Our most profitable cows milk with
in four to eight weeks Of coming In.
Even a moderate quantity Of milk is a
very considerable drain on the system
tor such length of time, and the Pc
Rod while dry is a necessary resting
period in which she is to recruit her
wasted energy. But wherein comes
the recruiting or building up II the
ration is insufficient or unbalanced!
Straw and turnips, for instance, are
very good folders in their places, but
to confine COW to these while dry Is
plain evidence of a total lack OF un-
Outstanding of the first principles OF
herd development. Corn slower Is a
good fodder If properly saved. but
this and straw, without any grain ad-
diton, is an unsatisfactory ration upon
which to build hopes of satisfactory
milking season. We believe that where
cow milks ten or eleven months per
year, that she should be fed as rich ana
satisfying a ration during her resting
period as while milking, if the best
returns are to be had. We never knew
a farmer to do this who was not a sue
cessful dairyman. The cow thus han

self, while her famished sister will
spend the first three months OF her
milking period in an attempt to re-
gain her lost condition physically. and
If, as is too comomn practice, she
comes in in the spring. by the time she
is in normal condition pastures are
failing, heat and flies do the rest, and
she is fast drying up; and at the end
of six or eight months she is on the
dry: list. But the trouble does not
end here. The longer she is dry the
worse is she fed as a rule, and thus
the evil grows.-F. J. S., in Farmers
Advocate.

Of the federation that it never does any

OF Agriculture, in recently calling at

sential to the preservation Of the swine

Mallein for Gland erS.

We have on the highest veterinary
authority that the diagnostic agent
known as "mallein" is sure test for
the existence of CHAMBERS in the horse
and mule. There Is an article in the
American Veterinary Review by Pro-
fessor Nocard Of Abort, in which he
begins a resume of the results of test
ing over 5000 horses with mallein and
closes by saying: From all that pre-
cedes it results that the systematic use
of mallein constitutes the surest, the
quickest and the least expensive means
to relieve the most seriously affected
center of CHAMBERS" BY the use Of this
agent CHAMBERS can be detected in its
earliest and mildest form, and it can
be clearly told whether a suspected
case is of CHAMBERS or Of some less seri-
GUS disease Of the air passages. Cali
fornia veterinarians are now receiving
mallein from the Bureau of Animal
Industry at Washington and are using
1t under the authority of the boards Of
supervisors in some counties. Every
facility should be given the horse own
ers for the application Of the test. to
the end that glanders may be stamped
out. We notice that the colony OF
Queensland gives notice that it will ap-
ply mallein and make its quarantine
against imported horses less severe
