Minorca. like that OF so many others
OF our profitable poultry. Is much in
doubt. Some are OF the opinion that
they originally came from Minorca, an
island in the Mediterranean Sea. one
OF the Balearic Isles, while others
contend they are n variety OF the
Black Spanish. BE that as II may.
they are one OF the most profitable
breeds OF poultry for the farm that is
known. For table purposes they are
good. the flesh being white OF light
colored and fine grained. Their chief
property IS their egg production.
They are Ronsitters and year-around
layers. AS winter layers they are ex.
ceptionally good when kept under
fairly favorable circumstances.

Railroads Have Given Them No Ia

Railroad clerks all over the country
as well as Houston, are complaining
that the prosperity apparently extending
to every class of railroad labor has not
reached them. saws the Houston Post
They say that their branch Of employ
ment has seen not an increase of month
~ salaries. but augmented work in
stead A gentleman who is thoroughly
conversant with the situation, who de
sires his name withheld said.
Why is it that the railroad corpora
tions which are so DESTROYS for credit for
their wage increases do not pay any at
tention to the needs of their railroad
clerks2 There is every evidence that
they c0nfiue themselves TO the organized
or uniOnized portions OF their employees.
while the remaining twO-thirds are not
permitted to enjoy the benefits of this
actual period of prosperity. although
the companies freely acknowledge that
business is greater and that living ex-
penses are higher than ever before.
