board, composed OF Baltimoreans, and
the substitution Of a board in sympathy
with the trust. was illegal.
The old management was unanimous In
favor of starting the plant at Curtis
bay, which is the best-equpped plant
OF It's size in the United States. as soon
as possible, and had made arrangements
to begin the manufacture Of sugar by
the middle Of December, providing work
for COO men. The Sugar Trust wanted
the plant to remain idle, and at the
annual meeting. about two weeks aea
showed that il owned a majority OF
the stock Of the Baltimore company, and,
therefore. elected successors to the Baltl-
more directors. G. Morton Stewart was
the only resident Of Maryland elected a
director. and as the laws OF Maryland
require that a majority OF the directors
shall be residents OF this State II Is tho
opinion OF several lawyers who have
examined the situation OF the minority
stockholders that the election is void.
TRUST GIVEN PAUSE.
The Sugar Trust is now considering this
phase of the situation. and II Is reported
that II will call the stockholders to-
gether again for the purpose Of in

plications which would almost certainly
ensue.
The minority stockholders have not
abandoned the movement 10 have the
works operated. and If the Sugar Trust
does not issue orders that will start the
plant up and enable IL to earn returns
upon the quarter OF million dollars or
more stock held in this city. within
reasonable length Of time, legal steps VIII
be taken to enforce the rights Of the local
interests.
A large minority stockholder, speaking
of the situation, said to-day: I'VE have
no desire TO go into court. and We earn
estly hope that the Sugar Trust VIII not
attempt TO close the refinery. We Will
not resort to law unless we are driven
TO II. but II we are forced 10 the wall,
we shall protect ourselves. We are ad-
vised that any effort TO freeze Us out for
the benefit OF the trust would be quickly
dealt with by the courts, and that our
minority holdings cannot be destroyed

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Sunfowers are a good thing 70 HAYS
about the poultry quarters where they
can be grown.
1t is a good way to have the roosting
poles and nests movable, and place them
in the sunshine part Of the day.
The survival Of the fittest is good
poultry doctrine. Find what individual.
hens are doing the best, and breed from
them.
An egg contains from rs to 81 per cent
solid matter, nearly Ii per cent. albu-
men. That means that laying hens
need food rich in albuminous matter

A Boston commission merchant says
that II farmers would market all the
chickens and eggs they can spare each
week, they would be surprised at the
regular income that they were receiv
ing, and they would find more profit in
poultry.
A writer in Farm Poultry says that

fixed houses, conveniences for water
ing, feeding. cleaning, etc, can be intro.
duced, which it would not be feasible ia
introduce into movable houses. BY
providing two yards for each pen, which
can be done with little foresight in
laying out the hennery, the objection to
foul earth can be overcome.
These yards can be used on alternate
years, the year in which they are not
used by the fowls geing devoted to the
growth of a crop of clover. BY having
portable fences, and the yards upon OPP
posite sides of the house, the cost OF
fencing will not be appreciably in
creased, and the ground upon which the
hens have run can be plowed and sowed
without difficulty. Raising a crop for
one year takes out all the noXious quail
tiles from the soil. 1t is, therefore, a
question whether it is advisable to
adopt movable houses or not.
If one decides to adopt such houses,
and intends to keep a large number of
fowls, we think the colony plan one Of
the best which has been devised. The
houses, for winter use, however, should
be provided with floor. During the
winter they can be drawn together so
as to avoid large amount of travel in
caring for the fowls.-Country Gentle

THE FARMING WORLD.
EARLY FATTENINo.

Pork Produced from Corn AloAe IL Net
tho best Product
"Corn Is not so exclusively the feed of
hogs at any age as IL used to be. Instead
of growing pigs on their swill with pas
ture, and thus stunning their early
growth, 1t is the practice of the best
farmers to begin the high feeding from
birth, keeping the pigs always in con-
dition for the butcher, and topping of
the last few weeks with clear corn
diet Many farmers" according 10
American Cultivator, "prefer that pork
for their own use shall not be thus
topped OFF. 1t is sweeter but less firm
in texture, containing more moisture.
This, however, only means that the pig
killed after being fed so as to waste
in cooking is by that fact shown to be
in healthy condition. All animals in
perfect health are composed largely of
water. This is evaporated when inter
nal fevers evaporate the internal mois-
ture, and the meat is then said to be
firm, solid and will waste little in cook
ing. Whenever pork of this kind is not
wanted, Il should be fattened with
boiled vegetables or fruit mixed with
wheat middlings and bran to make the
right proportion of heterogeneous mat
ter. We have often more than half fat
tened hogs on boiled pumpkins and
windfall apples, and never had pork
that tasted better than that thus fat
tened. Even before we knew that it
was unwholesome, we never much liked
the pork fattened on corn alone.
at is well always to select the breed
ing SOW early and give her the especial
kind of feed and care adapted to pre-
pare her for her mission in life. The
old-fashioned practice of some farmers
of feeding all the pigs together on corn
until nearly fattening time tended al
ways to deterioration. Not but that The
SOW which had fattened least and had
made liberal growth instead of putting
on fat even with this feed was the SOW
out of the lot that was then the best
adapted to breeding. but it was also the
SOW that had shown by its failure to
fatten when highly fed that it lacked
the especial trait that made hog valu-
able. What is wanted in breeding sows
is the greatest possible ability to make
use of all the food given, so that the
tendency will always be to an excess
of fat, and feed them so that this ten
dency will be kept in check and yet so
literally as to promote vigorous growth,
This means an abundant, but not any
concentrated, ration of food adapted
TO make growth rather than fat. All
the grains are too fattening. Wheat
middlings and skim milk diluted win
dish washings, with enough grass in
summer or beets in winter to keep the
pig from squealing, will build up long,
rangy sow that will produce more and
better pigs in half dozen years of her
life than farmer can make by any
ether like investment of his money"
