all their movements; always on
the alert, as it we're. Great care
should always he taken in select
ing the cock bird, as be is half
the pen, and if he is of a poor
laying strain, the young stock
will, in most cases, take after
him. I have had some difficulty
in selecting cock birds to mate
with my hens (Which, by the
way, 1 always breed myself,) as
it is difficult to know the laying
qualities of another breeders
stock birds. However, 1 have
been very successful in this mat
ter by buying only from reliable
breeders, whose word / could
take.
To breed good layers, if one
has good stock to start with, it is
absolutely necessary to feed well
from the time the chicks are
Matched, as, no. matter how good
the stock birds are, if the chicks
get starved or stunted in their
growth, they will never make
good layers. At the same time,
forcing must not be attempted,
or the pullets will begin to lay
too early, and that should be
avoided. have had Orpington
Pullets laying at four and a half
months old, but 1 do not like
them to lay till they are at least
six months old, by which time
they are fairly we'll grown and
developed. l find that those that
lay very young go off laying af-
ter a little while, sometimes
moulting quite out of season,
and then going months before
they begin again.
1.-The feed l give my chicks at
first is oatmeal and shell grit,
very fine. After two days, fine
ly-ground corn mixed with the
oatmeal then some rice once or
twice a day, plenty of nice green
feed lettuce, rape or cabbage, )
besides a grass run, always keep
ing plenty of shell grit and clean,
cool water before them. When
they are nine or ten weeks old it's
best to separate the pullets from
cockerels, and feed them three
times a day, always giving the
best feed that can be bought.
At ten weeks old they get mid
dlings aud bran in the morning,
two parts middlings to one of
bran, it the middlings is coarse,
but if it is fine, foury middlings,
then I mix quite half bran, al.
ways using the finest bran l can
get. The corn I use is the hard
kind, called Flint corn, or large
ninety-day. 1t is also best to get
milling wheat, as it is really
cheaper than the chick-wheat,
even if one has to pay 8 or 8
cents bushel more for it. The
feed l give at ten weeks to four
months old is mash in the morn
ing, wheat and green stuff at
midday, corn in the evening. I

the best.
Il find il best to run my fowls
in small lots, having proved that
five pens Of fowls with ten birds
in each pen will do very much
better than one pen of fifty hav-
ing the same space as the five
pens. After the birds are four

May Discharge Their Men.
Some Of the wholesale dealers have been
quoted as saying that unless a settlement
was brought about at once they would have
no further use for their freight handlers
and would have to turn them of. On the
other hand the freight handlers have been
seriously considering the proposition to
strike. Their course is therefore decidedly
UNCERTAIN. There are about 1000 freight
handlers in the city. about half of whom
are In the union. There are more of course
at South omaha and Council BLUFFS where
the teamsters are liable to strike also.
ohieers OF the Omaha union we're at these
two places yesterday. OF course the pack
ing house transfers are already out.
At all events 1t is believed some effort
will be made by or through the wholesalers
and Iabbers to effect a settlement Of mat
tiers Monday or Tuesday. With the team
sters' strike settled Il is thought the hard
est part OF the battle would be over.
The carpenters yesterday held another
meeting. They assert theirs is not a strike

without previous notice. the coal teamsters
of the city failed to report for work, and
as a consequence dealers are unable to
Immediately deliver coal to consumers. In
order that the public may be advised Of the
true facts In the case we desire to make
the following statement:
on March Is the team drivers union
adopted a new scale of wages, to be in
effect on and after May 1. and presented
same to the coal dealers for their consid-
Grafton. One year ago the coal dealers,
voluntarily, in conference with a commit
tee of the teamsters' union. granted an adj
vance in the wages of coal haulers, AMOUNT
ing to about 20 per cent, and under the
schedule in effect tcamsters who have
worked fun hours and have been indus
trious have earned as hish as IS per day,
and have averaged much IN excess of the
union wages, which were -. Is per day for
Since the proposed scale for next year
made a further advance of from 90 to 200
per cent above the scale paid during the
year just passed, the coal dealers unani-
mously agreed that the demands made were
exorbitant, unreasonable and more than we
were justified In charging the public fer
the service rendered. In addition to the
demands made for higher wages, numerous
conditions were specified for the conduct
of the coal business that would make IT
impossible to carry on the business with
out much. annoyance to consumers, and 1t
was unanimously agreed that we could not
submit to these arbitrary demands.
Our reply, in writing, to the team drivers
was conveyed to their union, and resulted
In two conferences between committees of
the team drivers and the coal dealers. At
these conferences the teamsters were UNI
willing. to recede from the most of the
demands originally made, and in some In
stances made still further demands that
increased the charges for delivering coal.
The dealers again rejected the schedule,
and Incorporated in their reply certain
conditions which they would require in
dealing with the men during the coming
year, of which the principal ones were
these: That we would not discriminate
against union men, but If %nonunion men
were employed that they must not be
harassed or molested by union men; hat
there should be no sympathetic strike or
refusal to deliver our goods wherever we
might require; that employers and employees
should submit to arbitration all questions in
dispute that were not settled by such
agreement as might be entered into at this
time. No reply was received from our
communication until the strike yesterday
morning, which we assume is their answer.
The coal yards of the city are open and
the supplies of coal therein are available
TO any consumers who can deliver their own
coal, and the dealers will try to be in a
position at as early a date as possible to
resume deliveries.

Rev. DIR. James Goodwin Of Christ Episcopal
church refused to perform the
and dismissed the guests because, in read
ing the marriage license, he found the
bridegroom had been divorced ten years
previously.
The wedding was to have been that of
A. Lincoln Chase, manager of a department
store here, and Miss Gladys Geer, daughter
OF one Of the Oldest residents of Hartford.
Mr.. Chase and Miss Geer had started
down the center aisle, when, suddenly at
the %rector's call. the party stopped within
a few feet of the chancel rail. After a
hurried consultation Mr.. Chase and Miss
Geer, much embarrassed, turned and hur-
ried out Of the church.
Advancing to the altar, DR.. Goodwin said:
Friends, the wedding has been post
poned." This was all the explanation he
made. Later, DR.. Goodwin said:
The laws of the Episcopal church forbid
me to marry a divorced person. I did not
know the circumstances until l read the
license while / was in the church ready to
perform the ceremony. / am very sorry to
nave caused the party any embarrassment.
but l could not act otherwise.
Miss Geer and Mr.. Chase. after leaving
the church, were driven to the home Of

Every school boy In Nebraska knows
that every fusionist now occupying a seat

NO WINE AT THE BANoUETS

nous Vote.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 9.-The grand
c-ommandary of the Knights Templars of
California has decided by a unanimous vote
that hereafter no wine shall be served at
Templar banquets.
The innovation has been introduced, It
is claimed, so that the order on this coast
might fall in line with the general move
ment Of the same kin in the east and be-
cause the use of wine in the lodge rooms
for all oficial functions is contrary to the
principles of Masonry.
1t is said that the grand lodge Of the
Masons at it's annual meeting next October
will take the same decisive action and or
der that all ~banquets given under the aus
pieces of any Masonic lodge of the state be

About 300 members Of the South Omaha
Packing Trades council. an organization OF
unskilled labor, met at the armory of the

do net so much object to any single de-
mand, but cannot hand over to the union
the right Of debating to us whom we shall

scale. The difficulty is that the union can
not always supply adequate help from its
own ranks and will at such times not per-
