The fight of the Minneapolis walters union
against several of the restaurants in that
city still continues, and the walters are con-
fident of ultimate victory. 1t is said that the
union has 200 members and is represented in
the majority of the leading hotels and res

rayed against the union have apparently
made little progress in their fight, beyond get
ting a charter for their non-union help from
the X. of l.. in hopes that they might thus
lead patrons to believe that they were union.
The injunction movement and the confer

on its part, has secured the backing of all

have got out an organ of their own, besides

NEW HITCFIING POST.

first conceived the idea of locating
the post just outside the roadway, in
the grass, using the double swinging
iron arm, with it's snaffle, to hold the
horse off from the grass. This works
well with most horses, but some will
throw the arm completely up over the
top of the post, and so get on to the
grass with all four feet. This is OBJ
waited by using the chain, as shown in
the cut. This permits the arm to rise
just far enough to reach the bride of
the horse, with play enough so that he
can move his head freely, but does not
permit him to throw it over upon the
other side of thepost.
This device of using an arm to keep
the horse away from the post accom-
Plishes more than ting preservation of
the grassy sod. It keeps the horse from
gnawing and disiguring the post, and
from rubbing his bride and other parts
of his harness against it--often to the
serious injury of the harness.-Country

They will moult better if kept separate.
Eggs may be increased in size and

THE POULTRY BUSINESS
Points to BE Considered BY Thos4
About to Enter II.

Points to he Considered BY These
About to Enter 1t.
Many claims have been made in favor
of poHltry-raisers which have done
harm by inducing inexperienced per-
sons to venture into the poultry busi-
ress under the delusion that they can
surely make a competency even if fall
ure ensues in every other enterprise.
Careful reflection should convince sthe !,
most enthusiastic individuals that it is
impossible to realize much that is held
out invitingly. With the sum of few
hundred dollars, or as much as thou
sand, it is proposed to engage in the
poultry business. The question is con-
,sidered and discussed as to the profits
to expect. Comparing the business
with any other it can be noticed that
there is no occupation that would not
be considered very profitable with
profit Of 20 per cent, or even one-half
that percentage. To realize 5000 year
on an investment of 1000, therefore,
is to secure in the poultry business
something that is difficult to obtain in
any other direction, yet many who in
vest $1,000 in poultry and the neces-
sary buildings are not satisfied unless
they can make a sum nearly equal to
the capital employed. One cause of
much expectation is the fact that fowls
multiply rapidly, and will naturally in
crease, which is true; but it requires
the loss of year for the chicks to
reach maturity, while the expense is
occurring all the time. The sum Of
81 900 would not pay for the buildings
and fowls necessary to: start with 500
hens, and the profit will not amount
to one dollar a hen for the whole num-
Der. Right here it may be urged that
one can, by doing the work himself.
make $500 year on capital of 1000,
but it will not be profit, as the labor
must be paid for, whether it is per-
formed by the investor or by employ
ing some one to assist. That, however,
is the bright side of the business. If
person can invest his money so as
to give himself employment it will be
a great point gained, but only the most
experienced poultrymen have succeed
ed in keeping 500 hens. On the farms
where the farmers are already estab-
lished they can, by utilizing their Ia
Dor in winter, make poultry pay well
on their investment, but all who may
engage in the business will find that as
soon as the labor is hired the profits will
not exceed those derived from some
other pursuits.-Farm and Fireside.
