Trades Allied to Printers May Co ou
 Sympathetic Strike

 Sympathetic Strike.
 Chicago. July 2I.--A complete t,e-un Of the printing establishments of mem bers of the Chicago Typothetae may follow action which has been taken by the allied printing trades council to assist the printers in their fight for s.n eight-hour day.
 The plans are being kept secret. but a committee of one from each of the hve international unions afflIiated with the council, has been appointed with fuu power to act. It is said that tffa stereotypers. photograph engravers and abookbinders already have received the sanction of their respective national of- hcers to 20 on strike in aid of the printers on terms proposed by the lat ter. The printers nava offered to pay the strike benefits of all workrnen called out in sympathy with them.
 The attitude of the printing press men has kept the other unions from engaging In the strike up to this time. The PFessmen are under a five-year agreement with the employers, which does not expire until next May.
 The agreement was made between Typothetae of America and the local union here never in sympathy with it's demands, although it has lived up to the agreement until this time. The re- fusal of the United Typothetae at its convention in Buffalo, which adjourned yesterday to consider the demands of the pressmen for An eight-hour day on the expiration of their contract will the local officers say, result in forcing the pressmen to take sides with the printers.

Much Interest in Approaching Meeting
 in Birmingham,
 Birmingham, July 21.-- Especial. )-- Interest in the meeting of the State Executive Committee of the Republican party of Alabama is running high srnong the Birmingham Republicans. There are thirtyfour members of the committee and it is stated that unless some providential hindrance occurs that every member will be present at the meeting. The Charles H. Scott boom for the gubernatorial nomina- ton, which was launched here infor- rnally on July 4th. seems to be ouies- cent. His supporters may be organtz- ing some deep plot which will land the nomination for him, but If such IS the case the plot Is so very deep laid that 1t is making absolutely no fuss.
 Considerable interest is displayed Tn the suggestion that certain friends of James BoNsron will put him for- ward for the nomination. Mir Bowron Has for a number of years been promi- nent in the party in Alabama. In this connection an argument arose among several who were discussing the matter in the government building this mornS ing The statement was offered by one member of the party that Mir Powrol would be ineligible, as he was not ap American by birth. NAnother stated that this was not a requisite. The dis pute was settled by reference to the constitution of Alabama, wherein the requirement. is given as ten va1rs resi- dence in the State. MT. Bowron is en- tirely eligible as he has been a resi- dent of the State for a muoh I.l ger time thah that

Pit traders and To- cal longs Aold freely and there was much selling of wheat by commission ket was also affected by liberal receipts here and at other primary points. Lo- cal receipts for Monday were estimated at so2 cars which was considered a very liberal supply. and this caused additional weakness late in the day.

THE POULTRY YARD.
IL n Worth All the Trouble II costs
to Keep 1t Clean.

have always found it quite easy
to keep the hen yard clean, by taxing
matters in time. The usual metnod Oh
handling the poultry yard is to let tne
fowls remain for months In one yard,
and by so doing, the grass is killed,
blade and root. If the grass is con-
tinually eaten off, it insures a barren
surface, and then, when the rains
come. the whole mass becomes mud.
The poultry paddle around In the muo
and render the ground unit for any
kind of living thing to walk over. In
addition when the mud dries out, the
ulaco of the mud is taken by dust.
have found that it is better to
have a good sized poultry yard and
divide It into two smaller yards. This
makes 1t possible to keep something
growing in one yard, while it is being
eaten off In the other yard. l have
found rape cry serviceable to grow
where the sod has been destroyed, as
it can be planted at any time of year.
II takes but a few weeks to produce
plants large enough to count greatly
in the supplying of feed. l have found
also that on most soils one does not
need to turn up the ground before
sowing the rape seed. The rape seeds
are firm and quite large, and If they
are scattered over the bare ground
they will send their roots into it and
get a good start that way. In fact,
have sometimes had better results
with rape on bare ground than when
sown on mellow ground specially pre-
pared for 1t.
Of all things, says the Farmers Re-
view, / prefer sod in the poultry
yard. The sod does not produce SO
much food as does rape and some
other plants, but the yards are clean,
as the mated roots of the grass serve
as a carpet After rain, when the
new grass is shooting up, the yards
are green and pretty. 1 had rather
feed a little extra feed and have the
yards and birds clean than get so
much out CT the soil in the poultry
yards.
