Future of Labor.

Eds. Record Union: In yester-
days paper Roland Clare's letter on the
future of labor is published He says
that mans Ingenuity has made ma
chimes which enable one man to pro-
duee more good things than a savage
can and that savage man dies, as the
animals, without leaving an estate;
and that each man should educate him
self above the condition of mere hand.
This is all correct and it is the ex-
listing order of things to-day and the
world is proceeding in the right direc-
tion a rate of speed about as fast
as is safe.
In other words, I hope Mr. Clare will
permit me to say that he speaks a
truism and that he should have gone
blem of futurity which is now before
the students of the times
That problem is this: How can we
turn the excess of inventive ability and
the surplus Of its fruits from a selfish
and sensual consumption into wise
expenditure for the benefit of our fell
low men; how can the world be made
unselish?
Religion and kindness prompt us to
many good deeds already but, as a
matter of scientific discussion (and Mr..
Clare is evidently. a trained student)
we must take up the problem of the
future as a matter of sense and not
emotion
L should like to hear from him a lit
tie further. POOR RICHARD.

Successful Egg Storage.

An interesting experiment in egg
storage was recently tried in Scotland.
At Leith last June $4,000 Scottish-Irish
and Danish eggs were sealed up in a
storage apparatus, says the Scientific
American, and were opened and ex-
amined four months afterward, and
only small proportion of the eggs
were found unfit for use. In this
method the eggs are kept cool and the
air is allowed to have free access around
each egg, which is kept in an upright
position. The eggs are turned period
ically, so that the yolk of the egg is
constantly embedded in albumen. This
is accomplished by placing the eggs in
frames, which, by the action of lever,
can be inclined in different directions
as needed. In this way $4,000 eggs can
be turned over in minute without
any chance of breakage.

About the Hull of Oats.

All who have fed oats know that
there is the greatest difference in their
feeding qualities. 1t is largely depend.
ent ON the character of the hull. 1t
has been thought that black-hulled oats
had not only a greater amount of hull,
but that it was also coarser and rough
er than white-hulled oats. But there
are some comparatively new varieties
with white hulls that are as coarse
and rough as barley hulls. Most new
kinds of oats originate in cold or at
least cool climates. If they are also
moist, as Ireland and Scotland are, the
hulls will be large but not rough. The
toughest hulled oats have their origin
In Norway, Sweden and Russia.

CHEAP POULTRY HOUSE.
A Serviceable Design Showing Com.
Portable Quarters, RoOst House
and Scratching Shed.

No one can give design of poultry
house that will be acceptable to all fo1
the reason that ideas differ regarding
poultry houses, as they do of dwelling
houses. The kind of poultry house to
be constructed depends upon the cost
or rather how much one is willing
to invest in it. A person can have any
luxury preferred if he is willing to pay
for it.
But how much room can one get al
the lowest cost? A poultry house
should have, first of all, the most room
possible on the floor. it should be ven
tilated without draughts of air, and il
should be warm in winter and cool in
summer. The size depends upon the
number of fowls in the flock. Bear in
mind that while house may afford 8
roosting place for large lot of fowls
yet the main point is to afford plenty
of room for exercising in winter, ani
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1899-03-22
PRACTICAL POULTRY HOUSE.

another point is that fowls will remain
they will seek refuge in a dark house
They love the light and they are par
tial to the open air if they cam have 9
"windbreak."
With these facts impressed upon the
reader, we give design (not the ''best,
as there cam be no best), which shows
westinghouse and scratching she'd
1t should, be, for flock of Is fowls,
about 10 by 20 feet, the roosting place
being by 10 feet, and the shed by
IL feet. If made deeper it will be an
advantage. The roosts may be placed
along the rear or at the east side, the
house supposed to be facing the south
1t should be Ssfeet high at the front,
and or feet at the rear, tarred paper
roof. The nests should be under q
platform with the roost over the plat
form.
The advantages of this house are as
follows: While not elaborate, it costs
but little according to locality); the
front of the shed cam be inclosed with
Wire netting in summer, and used as
cool roosting place; it is warm in
winter, the shed serving as a wind
break for the roosting portion wher
the wind is in the west; the hens car
work and scratch under the she'd in
winter, being really in the open air
