are engaged in . fight before the legis-

company which employees are expected
to join. 1t insures them in considera-

of their wages, and in taking its policies
the employees contract to waive all claim
against the company in case they are
damaged. The courts having held the
waiver good, the Temple amendment
was introduced to provide that no such
waiver should be good. The road at
once sent strong lobby to oppose the
amendment, which has passed the house.

Charged With Coercing Employees.
Dies MONIES, Iowa, March Sd. d.
Stocton has been indicted by the grand
jury on charge of coercion Of en-
ployes. He is manager of the Clifton
Coal company, and the charge is that he
compelled employees to buy ut the CON-
pany's store. The testimony before the
jury was that he told the miners they
must buy their goods at the truck store,
and if they failed to do so they were
discharged. The miners brought the
complaint, and it was Investigated at
muck length.
The company has been for some time
suspected of evading the state law by
operating store and practically forcing
employees to patronize it. Other mines
in the vicinity are under the same sus-
picion and the miners propose to stop
the system. The state law makes the
offense punishable by fine, imprison-
ment in Jail or penitentiary, but very
few cases have ever been carried to the
point of conviction.

suffered more from bogus dairy prod
ucts than from any over-production of
genuine goods. But it is safe to say
that there has been a great change in
public opinion in regard to curtailing
the output of bogus goods to be sold
as genuine. No objection is made to
the manufacture Of oleomargarine and
butterine if they are sold for what they
are, but the presumption is that in a
large per cent Of cases persons who buy
them for consumption buy them for
genuine products. This is not right
and should be stopped, and in a great
measure will be. Taking everything
into consideration, we think it is safe
to conclude. as stated in the first sen
tence of this article, that good dairying
is not overdone, and further, that it is
in no Immediate danger of being over
done. Like all other branches of agri-
culture, it will have it's seasons of de-
preston, but as a rule less frequent
than in most other lines of farm prod
ucts.

Feed More Vegetable Food.

Vegetables and green food OF all
kinds will assist greatly in keeping
the fowls in good condition during the
winter says Thrice-a-Week World. All
the small potatoes should be boiled
and given to the hens, who will greed
lily pick them to pieces. The same is
true OF turnips. Parings of all kinds
OF vegetables will be readily eaten.
POOR Worm-eaten apples will give a
zest to their appetites, and a cabbage
hung where they may peck at it will
serve the same purpose. Pumpkins
are also appreciated. Glover hay or
corn fodder cut to half inch lengths
scalded and sprinkled slightly with
corn meal supplies a very good and
economical ration. Pears and beans
cooked and thickened with bran ara
excellent for laying hens, so is sweet

slightest fear that the last named will

appetite, but in their supplying the

duction; in mere nutritive Qualities

Making Money in Poultry.

When we foot up the sales this year
| think I shall find a larger cash bal
ance than we have had for some years,
and think this is due to two things,
says a poultry breeder. First, better
feeding; and, second, wiser marketing.
Or one thing I am sure, and that is that
l never before got as many eggs in a
season from the same number of fowls,
and | never fed so regularly and care
fully. Our hens are now many of them
mounting, and the number is reduced
to about eighty, as we lost quite a num-

did not keep an account of the eggs
used in the family, but as this is the
season Of the ear for picnics and COM
pany, and on several occasions we used
more than a dozen eggs a day, 1 think
that our hens laid fully 200 dozen eggs
in the two months. In these times of
low prices, SO or $40 a month in cash
is not to be considered insignificant.
At no time during these two months
did the hucksters who pass my house
pay more than Z cents a dozen for eggs,
or tho grocer more than 8 cents in

WMyQ mer. The number
of COWS anywhere
cannot bL increased only at about a
certain ratio each year. Those who keep
COWS for dairy purposes keep small
herds as a rule, and until a successful
milking machine has been produced
n comes into general use this conol-
ton will likely continue. vi course
there are some large diaries i in this
country where cows are kept by the
hundreds, but such herds are rather
rare exceptions, and a good proportion
or them are kept by milkmen not far
from large cities. These herds are kept
up by purchase, and the ownerso OF them
can be more properly called m1lkmen
than dairymen. They are not dairymen
IN the true sense. They do not raise
their herds nor the crops on which they
are fed. but depend mainly on purchase
OF feed used. Most of these herds are
managed very successfully, and by
men who give the business intelligent
attention. There is little danger OF the
milk business. as it relates to large
cities, being o%verdone. But If at any
time it should be, those in it on a large
scale near cities can get out of 1t very
easily by disposing of their herds.
Those who are distant from the cities
who have been furnishing milk for
milk routes, can easily change to some
other branch of the business. such as
butter or cheese making. The real
question whether dairying is o%verdone,
or likely to be overdone, applies to
those dairymen who have for years
been growing up herds for dairy cows,
and to all farmers who keep a few
cows, and who can each year, II they
choose to do so, increase them up to the
capacities of their farms, which capaci-
ties will be constantly increasing If
the right system of dairying is correct
ly conducted. One great thing in favor
of dairying is that the real profit con-
sists in not seeing how many COWS a
farm will keep. as much as in seeing
how much can be produced from each
COW. These dairymen who practice the
best methods and get the best results
cannot be driven out of the business
w oA oSSCoIOl4ol OCp1 CSolOA VI pllCSS.
The man who makes his small herd Of.
say six to twelve COWS, produce as much
butter OF cheese as his neighbor who
keeps nearly double that number, will
not say anything about dairying being
%overdone, because his products cost him
less, and as a result he gets more for
them pound for pound than the dairy
man who is keeping double the number
OF cows. The result will be that the
man who does not succeed in dairying
will go out of the business; either that
or improve his methods. In addition
to our home markets we have good
markets abroad, provided we furnish
good dairy products. However, our
home markets can be greatly enlarged
by the same means, and the additional
means of producing a greater variety
Of dairy products. This last reference
is mainly to the different variety of
cheese that an Reproduced, and such
varieties as will create a greater de-
mand for cheese among American peo-
ple. Doubtless the dairy interest has
