A reader wishes to take up the busi-
ness of raising tame pigeons and asks
for some suggestions to do It,
will it pay, etc. We have known four
men to take up this line Of work dur
ing the past few years, and they each
failed and gave it up at the end Of
two years. 1t will cost from $500 up
to buy the parent stock and inclose the
yards and fly ways. Each pair Of birds
will produce from six to eight pairs Of
squads during the year, and these
squads will bring from 81 to 50 per
dozen on the market. The same amount
of money invested in hens will bring
in surer and larger income and be
less trouble to care for.

N@.le we have well organized expert
ment stations we still like the idea of
a farmer doing little experimenting
on his own account. Even if he obtains
no very satisfactory results such a plan
cannot fail to give him greater in
terest in his work. To plow and SOW
and reap just in the same old way
year after year is at best monoto-
nous work. There always is and al
ways will be q better way than the
old way, and one of the chief pleasures
of farming is to be always looking for
the better way. This line of expert
mentation may be in the line of i'm
proving our seed grains, of trying a
patch of alfalfa, some new variety of
potatoes, some better breed of poul-
try, Of grating in the orchard, of spe-
cial care given some acre Of corn. grass
or root crops. Such work will special
ly interest the boys on the farm. and
give to any man who will try it n
broader conception of the possibilities
of his business.

BREAk IN PLASTERERs' ONION.
Ornamental Workers withdraw and Make
Peace With the Employers.

Peace With the Employers.
1t was announced yesterday that the
members Of the Ornamental Plasterers'
Union who seeded from the Plasterers'
Society because Of the autocratic methods
OF that body have made an agreement
with the Employing Plasterers' Association
to last until january, 1905. BY it they will
receive $3.50 a day the wages OF the new
union formed under the arbitration agree
ment.
The ornamental plasterers are OF French
German and Italian nationality. they
had been for some time at the point OF re-
volt because of the rules which the Plaster
ers' Society prescribed. The ornamental
plasterers we're accust omed TO cast large
moudings in one piece while the union IN,
sisted on the mouldings being cast IN small
pieces.
With regard to the methods of the Plaster
ers' Society, a member OF the Employing
Pasterers' Association said yesterday:
mo matter how the present trouble may
end. the Plasterers' Society will never again
be allowed to exercise the same tyranny:
We have put up with unreasonable demand
after unreasonable demand. and matters
had come to the straining point before the
present trouble began. We have been
always fair with the union, but once union
believes that it controls the situation there
is no limit to its exactions. This has been
shown in the case of the Plasterers' Society. "
President Thomson Of the Employing
Plasterers' Association said last night that
so far he had not heard from the German
Plasterers' Union as to signing the ar
btration agreement. We expect that
it will be signed he said.

Sergeant Doran of Police Headquarters,
on a charge Of demonstrating horse and
wagon at Far Rockaway-and was locked
up at Police Headquarters until he gave
81 900 bail.
j. ]. McEvilly, Hyman's lawyer, says he
called at Headquarters soon after Hyman's
arrest, but was told he could not see the
prisoner and he then appealed to Com
missioner McAdoo who said "let him in. :"
McEvilly says that locking up his client all
day without taking him before a Magis-
trate was violation Of the law.
At the Tombs court yesterday Doran
withdrew altogether the charge of felony
and substituted charge Of misdemeanor:
larceny Of s2.lO from the firm of Paul Jones
& Co., distllers. A Mr. jackson, who said
he was the general me- mayer OF Paul Jones

This is a mere trumped up charge against
my client, who is a very wealthy man,
declared Lawyer McEvilly, and he insisted
that the Magistrate disc barge the prisoner
Il cannot do that" said the Magistrate
"If you want redress you have recourse to
the civil courts"

one for false arrest" said McEvilly. and
I will appeal to Commissioner McAdoo to
