IMMIGRANT TRAFFIC,

a Fruitful Source of Decentralization In the
Past and Possible Danger for the Flu.
ture, Occupies the Attention of Repre-
sentatives of Western Lines at the Meet.
Ing In Chicago-Complicated by the Ad.
vice of Attorneys.
CHICAGO May S.-Representatives of
the western lines met yesterday to
consider what is the best thing to do in
relation to the control of the immi-
grant traffic. The roads are a unit in
declaring that the immigrant ira fhc
must not be left to take care of itself, as
1t has been such afruitful source of de-
moralization in the past that they are
fearful that all sorts of trouble will
come from it if they allow it
to pass ont of their hands.
On the other hand the attorneys have
been considering the matter and they
have all come to the conclusion that
there is no way in which the immigrant
clearinghouse "a be kept alive and
the law as laid down in the supreme
court decision be observed. No def
mite action was taken yesterday, but
the chanc are that the roads will en-
ter into a tacit agreement to allow the
clearinghouse agreement to remain in
effect, although it will not be in ac-
tual existence and there will be no
signatures to the agreement. Then,
II the court officials get after the roads
the latter will be in a position to say
that there is no agreement and that
the roads are following out their line
OF action of their wv free will, and
independent of any and all other roads.
The lines of the Western Passenger
association and of the Central Passen
ger committee have reached an AMIGA
bic agreement regarding the arrange
ments for the sale of the Christian En-
deavor tickets. For a time it was
thought that the difference in the
forms of the tickets to be used by the
lines of the two organizations would
result in considerable friction. The
arrangements of the western roads,
however, have been so satisfactory that
there is now no chance of trouble at
all. A round-trip form of tickets will
be used up to the eastern gateways of
the western roads, and from there q
one-way ticket Will be used.
The competitors of the Rock Island
have all given notice they will meet
the action of that road in making a re-
duced rate from Utah points to Chicago
and the Missouri river for school
teachers who desire to come east for
their summer vacations.

A GREAT FISH RUS
Organizing to Control the Fishing Business
of the Lakes.

N
CHICAGO, May s.-A scheme is on foot
to control the fishing business of the
great lakes through the formation Of
a company controlled by English CAPT.
tai. A secret meeting to discuss the
project was held here to-day.
The concern most actively interested
in Chicago is the A. Booth Packing Co.,
and concerning the project Mr.. Booth
is extremely reticent. At the meeting
only one Chicago concern was repre-
sented, though almost all the firms in
terested in the fishing business were
urged to attend. The object is to r
ner all the fishing interests, the new
concern being in a position to make
contracts with fishermen at prices set
by the proposed trust and also to con-
troll the prices to consumers.
The concerns represented at the
meeting from out of the city were the
Davis Fish Co. of Detroit, the Killar-
ney Fishing Co. of Detroit, the Davis
Fresh and Salt Fish Co. and the Buff
falo Fish Co. of Buffalo, Macarthur s.
Co. of West Selkirk and the Baltimore
Packing Co. of Minneapolis.
Mr.. Booth denied the trust features
Of the scheme, and claimed that the
meetings were in the interests of the
poorer fishermen. For example, he
thought they had succeeded in killing
the half a cent a pound tax upon fresh
fish from Canada in the Dingley bill,
and were in hopes of defeating the fish
erman's tax proposed in Michigan.

WOULD RELIEVE THE TENSION
II the Report that the TransvaaI Govern

WASHINGTON, May {. 81 Complying
with a resolution of the senate, the
commissioner of labor has sent to that
body a statement showing the differ.
ence between the cost of producing
white pine lumber in the United
States and Canada. The report shows
that while the average wages in saw
mills in the United States is Sill per
day, and in Canada S1.41, the av-
erage labor cost of 1000 feet
of lumber is 81 cents in this
country to s1.2s in Canada. This dis
crepancy is due to the fact that the inn
proved machinery used in this country
enables each laborer to accomplish
more than in Canada

To Save Volo.

ATHENS, May THE Greek fleet at
Volo has been instructed not to hinder
the entrance of the Turks, in order to
save the town from destruction.
Gen. Smolenski's artillery, engineers
and some cavalry have proceeded to

Crowds of volunteers continue to ar
rive here and 1000 Italians, led by
Riccotti Garibaldi, left tonight for the

A dispatch from Pharsalos, via
Larissa, says:
During Wednesdays battle our
losses were not heavy, and it is impos-
sible to exaggerate the strategic and
moral Importance of the Turkish
victory. Our soldiers are hunting for
umbrellas, which are almost a mill
tary necessity, the sun is so broiling
hot"
1t appears hat the Greeks fully in
tended to resist to the uttermost. On
the platform at the railway station
were barricades of turf and forage,
and the houses had been strengthened
by heaps of turf and there were loop
holes for rifles
The GOODNESS of the Turks was extra
ordinary. Three soldiers stood to-
gether in advance of their comrades on
a path crossing a meadow, while a
whole battalion of Greeks fred at them.
They did not condescend to stoop or
lie down, but fired away coolly until
their skirmishers came to their help.

for the different cuts in beef animal

twelve or fourteen cents for the loin

in the conformation of the ideal beef
animal, as exempliied in the best
specimens OF the leading beef breeds
as compared with the scrub or even the
dairy breeds, is the broad, straight,

Is it not surprising in the light of
facts so patent as these that so many
farmers seem to be content to raise
and feed cattle which are only calcu-
lated to bring second or thirdclass
prices, and which in order to make
them salable at all will consume more
good feed than better bred animals
will, and will make such very unsat-

compared with what the better class
will realize? The prices at which pure
| bred bulls can be obtained leave no eX-
cuse for the use of low grade sires, and

herd for nearly if not quite his first
cost,-Farmers' Advocate.

EGG EATING HENS.

A correspondent writes: 1t seems
that too much cannot be said or done
TO prevent this worst of evils hen can
fall heir to. 1t is very disgusting to
any poulterer or even any person who
keeps poultry. When l built my hem
merry l put in just few nest boxes
lor the time being, until had time to
get more, and would not believe it
took only two or three days to learn
the habit of 'egg-eating. They would
quarrel over the nest and break the
eggs, then all would run to have q
piece, until at last my two largest pens
were full of good-looking egg-thirsty
hens, and were, | thought entirely
ruined, for when did give them more
boxes they would pick a hole in the
shell quite leisurely and cat the con
tents. What was to be done was more
than could think OF for awhile; then
l devised a plan which thought would
break some at least of the habit. l
made nest boxes as follows: Eight feet
long. IA inches deep. and IL inches
wide, then divided it into eight nests,
with one side of the box six inches
high, so that when it was covered they
had eight inches left to enter the nest;
then l set them one foot from the floor.
In there it was dark, the space covered
by lid over the box to remove the
eggs. In this secluded spot they would
deposit their eggs, and only one hen
could occupy each nest, and she hadn't
room or light enough to do much dam
age. This was six weeks ago and to-
day don't think have hen that
will eat an egg. If some poulterer who
is troubled in like mannerwill give this
trial | am quite confident he will be
amply repaid. Poultry Chum,

ABOUT MARKETING HONEY.

There are a few points we'll worth
knowing in the marketing OF honey.
The first thing necessary is TO see that
the honey Is carefully assorted. Then
1t should be thoroughly cleaned and
put into neat white crates. Another
very important thing is, the crates
should be the same thing all through;
that is. the honey should be just what
1t appears to be on the face Of 1t. There
Is great deal Of talk nowadays about
low prices and slow sales, but the man
who has an honest, clean, first-class
article OF any kind need not 90 beg
cling for customers, even in these hard

attorneys. Good thing.
Vary the cows feed in winter as
much as possible. Some cows are fed
one ration all winter, and it is not the
best thing to do.

popularity. Dairymen find 1t first
class, and horse owners in the towns

In considering the profit of butter
making we should take into consider

any purpose. But shredded corn fod-
der is a grand good thing.-Farmers'
