Number of Hens to Keen.

1t may be safely stated that 800
hens will support moderate family,
and there are few persons who keep
more than that number, but like
any other occupation the expenses
must be taken out, and whether the
expenses are too great or not de-
pends upon the extent OF the opera

They can be built on runners so
they can be moved anywhere by a
horse. We put no runners under ours,
but tipped them onto n stone boat
when we wished to move them. We
found six feet square large enough for
our purpose, but you can make them
as large as you wish. Ours will ac-
commodate four or five hogs weigh
ing 200 pounds each. In feeding time
we moved them out in the feeding lot,
and at farrowing time back to the ac-
customed place.
The principal improvement in these
pens is the door. One first doors were
hung at the top and when a hog went
out, 1t would drop back with a bang
that might often injure or kill pig,
besides wearing the hair off from the
hogs backs. Notice, this door is hung
on gudgeons or bowels placed just a
little above the center, so the door will
drop back gently and will always be
shut. II, for any reason, you want to
keep 1t open, IT can be done by rope,
or any other means that may suggest
itself to your mind.

Too Wide m Difference.

The range of difference in prices in
the market centers between the best
and worst grades Of cattle offered, has
somtimes been as high as $3.50 per hun
dred. This is entirely too much. The
only explanation that can be made Of
this unprecedented wide range is that
the receipts Of undesirable cattle have
been excessive. High prices have
tempted owners of habitat and thin
stuff to ship. AS rule, none but full,
fat, ripo cattle should be sent to mar

CHARGED WITH BRIBERY
Assistant Attorney Miller, of Post
Office Department, Arrested.
HAS BEEN sUMMARiLYDlsMlssED
Charged With Accepting eribe Of Sew
erai Thousand Dollars From John
J. Ryan G Co. For Fraudulent Use
of the Mails.

Washington, May 26. - Postmaster
General Payne has summarily dis
missed Daniel V. Miller, assistant at
torney in the Office of the assistant
attorney general for the postothce de-
partment, for accepting bribe in con-
nection with the case of John J. Ryan
& Co, charged with fraudulent use of
the mails. A warrant has been issued
for Miller's arrest.
Another warrant has been issued for
with being the partner or go-between
in the transaction. The bride is alleged
to have been accepted in Cincinnati
last December.
Miller came here from Terre Eaute,
Ind, about two years ago. He was ap-
pointed by former Assistant Attorney
General James n. Tyner. The charge
against Miller has been under investi-
CATION for three months. The Ryan
company was a turf investment con-
Germ, which operated at st. Louis and
Covington, KY. It's methods and work
ing operations are said to be similar to
those of the Arnold company, which
has figured conspicuously in the post
Office investigation. Complaint was
made by Inspector Fulton before a
United States commissioner in Cincin-
natl Saturday and a warrant was then
sworn out for Miller and one other
party. Mr.. Fulton then came to Wash
ington, while another inspector went
west from Cincinnati to make the other
arrest.
The Ryan company was the bench
ciary under a decision of the assistant
attorney general of the postoflice de-
partment. made several months ago,
subsequent to the decision in the Ar
mold case, and couched in practically
the same terms as that decision. Those
decisions declared the concerns named
to be free to use the mails.
Last night Miller was in the custody
of postoffice inspector. and his formal
arrest followed this morning. Miller
was at his desk all day yesterday. He
was called into the Office of Assistant
Attorney General Robb late In the af-
ternoon, and notified OF his immediate
dismissal. He was allowed to draw his
salary and then return to the private
office OF the assistant attorney gen.
eral, where inspectors were In wait.
ing.
1t Is stated that the amount offered
Miller as a bribe aggregated several
thousand dollars. and was in the form
of a cash payment followed bya check.
This payment is alleged to have taken
place in Cincinnati. SO that the case
will be tried there, probably In the Oc-
tober term Of court Miller was !
to the Guy hall last night and placed
under arrest by a deputy marshal. He
waived an examination and was re.
leased on $500 bonds for appearance
at court
The penalty for the offence is fine
OF not more than three times the
amount asked or accepted and impris-
onment Of not more than three years.

CRISIS FOR WORKERS
LABOR SEEMINGLY ABOUT TO
REAP THE WHIRLWIND.
WAVE FOR RETRENCHMENT
1t Follows the Granting of Abnor-
NAL Pay to the Unskilled-A
Million Men to be ldIe-Big Con-
Germs Reduce Forces and Greater
Cuts in Prospect.

Chicago, oct. 20.-OrganiZed labor
is facing the greatest wage crisis since
the panic of 1898, If the forecast OF
its leaders is correct. And the bur
den of the struggle to maintain the
present high standard of pay is ex-
pected to fall on the unskilled men,
whose wages are held to have been
advanced far out of proportion to the
value of their services.
Indications of retrenchment are
seen on every hand. The railroads
throughout the country have started
t. lay off men, the mine operators are
curtailing expenses, and factories are
employing reduced forces. All big en-
ploying concerns are refusing to
grant any further increases in pay.
The labor leaders generally admit
alarm, those who were in Chicago at
the convention of the National Civic
federation being free in their ex-
pressions.
The tendency toward retrenchment
is attributed to the abnormal in
ereases that have been exacted by the
unskilled workmen. While expert
mechanics, such as the machinists
and the brass workers, have been able
to advance their pay only Is per cent,
their helpers are receiving % or 80
per cent. more pay than four years
ago The same condition prevails in
other trades.
1t mas been estimated that before
the close of the year the big employ
ing concerns of the country will have
discharged nearly 100000 men, most
OF them laborers and general utility
workers. OF this number the railroads
are expected to drop from employment
100000 men, the mine operators So
600, the machine shops and iron, steel,
and tin plants 100000, and the build
ing trades more than 10000.
In the case of the railroads repair
and construction work will be brought
as near TO a standstill as it is prac-
ticable to bring it.

the disappearance of every sign and
