In the northern section of the United
States careful attention should be given
the selection of breeds, says Poultry
Keeper 1t should not matter to the
farmer whether some particular breed
may lay a few more eggs during the
year than another, as his object should
be to keep only those that are hardy
and able to stand the cold winters. In
making a selection. the proper course
to pursue is to visit the yards of those
who have fowls that have given good
results in his section, and in purchas-
ing stock aim to select the most vigor-
Gus. Breeds that have small combs
and which are heavily feathered should
thrive better in winter than will 9TH
ers. but such breeds should have also
been bred for vigor. 1t is of no adj
vantage to buy special prize-winners
when the awards have been for special
points in the showroom, but the birds
should be pure bred, however, having
stout limbs. deep breasts and eyes in
dicating health. 1t is the hen that lays
every week in the year, except when
Matching chicks or undergoing the
process of mOulting, that pays the
most. but such hens can only be had
by careful selection and due considera-
ton given climatic conditions and
proper management.

The convicts in the state prison at
Michigan City, Ind, may be put to
raising potatoes and cabbages. Warden
Harley proposes that the state lease
from Chicago men 1000 acres of swami
land near the prison, on which shall be
cultivated potatoes, celery, and other
vegetables in quantity sufficient to sup.
ply all the state benevolent and penal
institutions. Under the new anti-con-
tract labor law the 900 convicts will
soon be idle. and the warden believes
the land would afford profitable en-
ployment. He has ascertained that the
land can be leased for the improve
ments the state would have to make
on it.

THE TIME FOR COMPROMISE PAST
independence the Goal which the Pa
triots Are Shedding their Life's
Blood For.

New YORK, Dec. "a proclamation
signed by the Cuban military and civil
leaders in Havana province, protesting
against the autonomy offered by Spain,
was recently issued as reported by the
correspondent of the Associated Press.
The proclamation in full followed:
''CUBANs:
After all her efforts to subdue US by
force of arms have proved in vain, Spain
offers autonomy to the Cuban people.
She expects US to submit anew to her
rule under her pretended terms of peace.
SPANS pretension is useless. The time
is already past to think of such compro-
mise and transaction. Opposed to them.
in an insurmountable manner are
the dignity and manifest destiny of our
country, the outrages inflicted upon our
families, the torrents of Cuban blood
that have been shed, the lives of so
many innocent human beings who have
succumbed 10 oppression, the sacred
memory of our heros who have died in
defense of ther native soil, and all other
sacrifices we have made in behalf of our
independence.
ITO obtain this we have again taken
up arms, and we are determined to con-
tinue unhesitatingly in the task of re-
deeming our country until we attain the
success which is near at hand. We shall
not finch in our efforts, nor is it possi-
BILE that we shall be forssken by the God
of justice in our saured undertaking.
''Let the world at large be aware that
this is our unalterable purpose, our only
aspiration, our supreme ideal; to which
we have consecrated our lives, our prop
erty, present welfare, and, in short, our
all.

termination to carry on this struggle,

floats over our beloved country. Let
everyone know that our watchword is
independence or death.

WILL FIGHT FOR NINE HOURS.
New York Typesetters to go on a STRIFE
january ed.


New York, Dec. 9.-At the annual
convention of the International Typo
graphical Union, a year ago, it was de-
cided to make fight for working day
of nine hours IN all book and job print
ing shops as soon as possible. This fight
will be started in this city January 2,
1898, and will involve 5000 men, as the
employing printers have resolved to op-
pose the demand.
1t was announced last night that other.
cities, including Brooklyn, would also
take up the fight tor nine hours, and
that before the year is month old it is
probable that 90 900 men would be on
strike for shorter work day.
On December I'd, Typographical Union
No, 6, sent notice to 120 Offices making
an official demand for work day of
nine hours instead of ten, beginning on
January I'd. On Tuesday night an ex
ecutive meeting of employers was held.
and resolutions were passed denying the
demand of the printers and looking to
the raising of fund of $50, 900 as de-
Tense fund to fight tBig Six"
President Donnelly, of Union No. g.,
says that within thirty days his union
will have 500. 900 with which to enforce
its demand.

for the recent decline of exports, and,

"The facts are serious" he contin-

States are executing orders which ought
to be executed here. As we all know
an American firm obtained the con-

lower than those of the English con-
Germs and it could deliver the supplies
