THE full force and effect Of gov
eminent BY Injunction is felt by
striking machinists at CINCINNATI.
They are prohibited from picketing
or patrolling around the factory and
are not allowed to remain in the
streets leading TO the factory, or in
any way interfere with the employees
in the factory. There has been no
violence, but this injunction pre-
vents an individual striker from
talking 10 an employee, or from 60
ing into the streets near the factory.
1t comes from the United States dis
trict court, and is a most outrageous
interference with the rights of an
individual. Were the Injunction
against a mob of law breakers, there
might be some excuse for it, but ii
goes beyond that and invades the
rights OF the individual. 1t is one
of the evils growing out of govern
ment by injunction and will con-
tinue TO become more oppressive
until the people rebel against such
tyranny and retire its authors and
supporters to private life.

THE Endowment Rank, knights
of Pythias, the insurance depart
ment of the order, is under investi-
CATION by the supreme lodge. The
rank is in bad financial standing as
a result of improbable investments,
but the supreme lodge has reitter-
ated its intention to stand behind
the rank, which makes every GER
tiicate of insurance good for its
face. The surplus funds are tied
up in Chicago hotel and broken
bank in Texas and it is the inten-
ton to realize what can be secured
from these investments and put the
rank in better shape. A raise in
the insurance fees will also be made,
as experience has demonstrated that
they are still too low, although
twice that OF other fraternal com
panies offering members cheap in
surance. The death losses of the
rank have also been heavy for the
past two quarters amounting to a
total of $3.50, COO paid heirs of de-
ceased members. The rank has
paid out over SIC, GOO, GOO since its
organization.

THE members of the legislature
were begged to pass a bill appro-
Priating $1,000 for a permanent
mineral exhibit at Boise. The peo-
pie of that city were anxious to
secure this and pledged a like
amount if the state would only as
sist. Their argument was that the
exhibit could be displayed during
the session of the mining congress
in Boise and would be a profitable
investment TO the state in advertis-
ing its mineral resources. To show
that Boise lives off of the state and
has well earned its reputation for
grating the fact is now made
public that the appropriation Of
S., COO by the state is about ex-
hausted in securing an exhibit Of
minerals, the date for the mining
congress is but little over a week
ahead, and the people of Boise have
not put up cent toward the enter
prise, and it is not at all probable
that they will do so. The S., 900
appropriated by the state will pay
the bills and Boise will take all of
the credit for the big show, just as
she took all Of the credit for enter
tanning the Utah legislature after
begging the funds for that purpose
from the members of the Idaho leg
islature. Future legislators ought
to be able to see the bristles on
Bosses back and cut off a few of
her big displays at the expense of
the people Of the state. If the cap
ital city ever does as she agrees to
in these matters we have failed to
note the fact; but she is always
ready for an appropriation. The
people Of the state will approve Of
the action of Mineral Commissions
er Lippincott if he places the min
eral exhibit at the state house, as
he threatens to do, if the people of
Boice do not provide a suitable
place for i d''-i~c- lie session Of

AGRICULTURAL.
Number Of Times to Feed.

The number of feeds which an ami
NAL receives daily and the hours at
which the feed is administered is more
or less matter of custom or habit.
We observe the same thing in regard
to the human family, Onr German
friends, for example, deem it best to
partake of food five times each day,
while the Americans usually follow the
rule of three meals daily. All of us
have met individuals who eat but twice
daily, that are healthy and vigorous
and believe that more frequent eating
would be injurious rather than bene-
fetal to themselves. The old saying
that "there is no accounting for tastes"
holds in relation to the times food is
taken as we'll as to many other matters
in life. Fattening cBttle will make sat
isfactory gains if given full grain a.
lowance once daily, with roughage in
the feed rack to be consumed at will.
The dairy COW is q hard worked ami
NAL and twice daily she returns to her
owner the milk which she has produced
in the wonderful transmutation from
coarse provender TO wholly digestible
substance. Under this heavy drain
it seems reasonable to allow her grain
twice each day, with coarse forage sup
piled not less frequently. The writer
doubts the wisdom, however, of feed
ing dairy cow first little of this and
then little of that FIR Om time to time,
as practiced by some dairymen who
are anxious to secure the best possible
returns, thinking they will gain by
these nevel-ending attentions. The
horse has relatively small stomach
and should receive food not less fire.
quently than twice daily, morning and
evening, and probably it would be better
to allow him little grain at noon if he is
hard worked and can be allowed little
time for midday rest. Idle horses need
not receive their limited grain allowance
more than twice daily, in addition TO
liberal supply of roughage.-W. A.
Henry, in Breeders Gazette.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1901-02-20

1t will be too late next spring, when
the brood sow with her young litter
shall show her incapacity to raise good
strong pigs TO withstand disease, and
grow rapidly to maturity, to complain
that the trouble is with the brood SOW.
Now is the time ard for the next two
or three. months, to put and keep the
breeding soWs in condition to do what
is expected of them. That can only
be done by the supply of proper food,
warm, urJ shelter, pure water, etc.. and
>all thesee.rre gularly, and not in the way
the old feeder tried to make streaks of
fat and streaks of lean by feeding on
alternate days and weeks. There is
too much inclination to lay our faults
at the doors Of others, and in this in
stance,to charge bad breeding on some
one else who bred and grew the brood
SOW. In nine times out of ten the
troubles about the young stock lie at
our own doors, resulting in ipattention,
thoughtlessness, or worse still, laziness
or ignorance. Attend to the brood SOW
regularly from this on to the day of the
new litter, if you expect or deserve
success in the next hog crop.

Current Comment.

LUMBER There Is now lots OF snow in
the Maine woods and great opportunity,
therefore, for the lumbermen to get the logs
to the winter mills. The situation, OF
course, is understood and being taken ad-
vantage OF, but, Notwithstanding, the sup
ply OF spruce lumber available at the mo.
ment Is hardly adequate, and the number
OF impatient customers ID as large as ever
larger, some OF thosr interested say The
hopes OF an appreciable increase in sup
plies, entertained two or three weeks ago,
have not been realized. The delay in saw
ing caused by weather conditions earlier in
the winter is still being felt. 1t is super
huous TO add probably, that the tone OF the

Careful attention is given to the pre-
paration of the nests Instead of throw
ing into box lot of coarse hay or
straw, through which the cold air can
circulate freely, as is frequently done,
my way is to put sand in the bottom of
the nest, almost dry at this season ,only
just enough moisture to retain bowl
shape to the sand when followed out by
the hand in the center, 30 that an egg
placed on any side will roll to the CEN
ter of the nest. A little lime is thu n
sprinkled in the nest. Soft, fluffy
feathers are put over this at this sea-

from last summer are put over the
feathers in small quantity, The nest be-

ling of insect powder is added, and the

The Winter Poultry House.

One reason farmers hens do not lay
in the winter is because they are al
lowed too much range in severe wealth
er. A hen will wander around outside
on very cold day, if the wind does
not blow, and l believe nothing will
stop hens laying quicker than to let
her out of doors when the ground is
covered with snow and the thermom-
eter is down around zero. She will eat
more or less snow, frozen grass, etc.,
which will only do her injury. Hens
to do their best must have exercise,
but they do not need TO get it by wad-
ing in the snow and flying from one
fence or building to another. What
they require is litter to scratch and
work in, and this should be inside of
comfortable and roomy building. This
litter should be kept dry and loose, and
there should at all times be more or
less grain in it, 80 that the hens will
have something to work for from the
time they come eff the roost in the
morning until they go on again at
night, and then they will be happy and
contented
When the litter is fine, such as
leaves, cheff or short straw, fnd.it is
a very good plan to build small pen
at some convenient place in the build
ing, four or six feet square, according
to the number of fowls in the house,
and one or one and one-half feet high.
This keeps the litter all together, and it
does not get packed down and mixed
with the droppings and dirt as soon as
when scattered all over the floor. A
pen six feet square will answer nicely
for thirty fowls, and for good results
this is as many as should be kept to-
gether. In this way the hens get con-
siderable exercise jumping in and out
OF the pen, as we'll as by scratching
inside. OF course, separate scratch
ing shed is grand good thing, but it
takes up considerable room and re-
quires some lumber to build, and if
open on one side, then the hens are
exposed to cold weather.-V. M. Couch
