Poultry Notes.

A writer on poultry topics says:
mix red pepper with morning soft
food" We doubt the correctness of
this advice. II such stimulant be
given at all it should be only seldom.
Some Of our best breeders believe that
too much red pepper is detrimental to
the fowls. It is far better to give them
q proper variety of food, with all the
constituents necessary to build up
bodies and supply material for eggs
It would appear to Us that red pepper
is rather a medicine and as such should
be used only In case OF sickness. We
fail to see why IL stimulants are not
advantageous to healthy men they
should be advantageous to healthy
fowls.
In buying new fowls the greatest
care should be used to keep them from
giving lice and disease to fowls that
do not have them We have known
OF hocks freq from mites for years

new birds brought the pest into the

The Union versus woman Labor.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Woman labor is to
be abolished in all factories where
building material is produced in Chica-
go, if a resolution passed by the Build
ing Material Trades council can be
made effective. The resolutions pro-
vide that each of the organizations
affiliated with the council demand that
clause be inserted in all union con-
tracts hereafter specifying that no wo-
man be employed in the shops. There
are now $500 women at work in the
various factories, for the most part as
metal polishers and buffers and on
plumbers supplies. The principal
reason given for the action of the coun-
ell is that the work is totally unfit for
women. 1t is said, however, that the
council fears that there is an effort
being made by the manufacturers grad
ually to displace the men in favor OF
the cheaper woman labor.

Missourt.s Poultry.

When the state statistician at Jeher-
son City completed his compilation OF
the surplus products Of Missouri re-
Gently he discovered that the greatest
gain Of the year was in poultry, says
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. His returns
of shipments showed that the Missouri
hen had cause to cackle loudly. One
hears a great deal these days about
Missouri's booming zine and lead in
dustries. All that is claimed for these
wealth-producing factors is well
founded. But what tribute is due the
hen when it is realized that the poultry
shipped by rail in Missouri last year
exceeded in value the zinc ore, while
the eggs went the lead ore $4,000 bet
ter? Furthermore, in the case OF the
poultry and eggs, these shipments were
the surplus after the home consumP-
ton had been satisfied. And it is
claimed that fully half the chickens
and eggs produced in the state do not
find the way to market by rail.
The figures are amazing. The poul-
try product shipped and sold last year
amounted to over 100000 pounds. II
realized the producers at first price

From the time the polls were open in this city
until the result was announced late at night the
vicinity of the polling place was the scene of
the utmost political activity Esery public con-
veyance was in use throughout the long fgh t,

welcome harvest in a second ballot. The best
of order was maintained throughout, and no
untoward event marred the occasion. Each side
did its utmost to get out the vote, and keep its
adherents in line The announcement of no
choice for city Representative on the first bal.
lot created profound sensation in all quar-
ters, as, by Republicans at least it was entire
ly unexpected. The final result in this city
