New Manifesto Issued.

A manifesto to the peasants or Russia
has been issued in the joint names of all
the various labor socialist and revolution
ary organs, including the representatives
of these organizations in the defunct low
er house This manifesto declares that
the hopes reposed in the lower house of
parliament have been blasted by the dia-
bo1ca1 designs of the crowd OF grand
dukes, courtiers and wealthy land pro-
prietors assembled around the Emperor
whose only purpose can be the mainten-
ance OF their power over the people. BY
dispensing the elected representatives of
the people and arresting and imprisoning
them the government has declared war
on the nation, and a struggle Is beginning
in which the rivers OF blood will flow. and
for which the criminal government is re-
sponsibe The people must not spare the
government.
This manifesto further accuses the gov
ernment of betraying the fatherland by
invoking the aid of German and Austrian
troops The people are. therefore, urged
to remove the local authority every
where, to replace Ii with men elected by
themselves. and to confiscate all state
funds. The troops also must conform to
the orders of those elected by the people.
Must Seize the Land.
The workmen in the towns. the peasan-
try and all toilers must in conjunction
with the troops seize the liberty and take
the land which the government has denied
them. The land thus possessed must be
handed over to the popularity elected local
authorities pending the elaboration of a
new land law. The manifesto calls for
elections on the basis of universal suf-
frage and concludes with the words:
Down with the government and the
Emperor long live the dear and free

MACHINE FED POULTRY.
Packers Prepare Millions Of Pound
Annually by This Meana.

Annually by This Means.
So important Is this branch Of
food industry that the big packing
firms in the United States have en-
gagged In the business Of raising
chickens, ducks and other poultry,
says a dealer in the Chicago News
The total business done In this line
amounts to millions OF dollars an
nually.
The chickens are placed in long
coops and packed so tightly that
they can find only room to move
comfortably about. But they cannot
run around. They are fed from four
to six times day, according to con-
ditions The food consists of por-
ridge Of which corn meal and milk
form the basic parts.
The machine that is used to feed
them is built on the lines Of a sau
sage suffer. A rubber tube extends
from the receptacle. The feeder takes
each chicken from the coop, places
the rubber tube In Its bill and then
pumps 1t full of food. In twenty-one
DAYS the scrawny little chicken
comes out fat as a butter ball. AS
rule It doubles in weight in that pc
Rod
or course, every feeding station
requires constant watching. Men go
constantly up and down the line of
coops and watch the fowl. Whenever
a sleepy chicken that does not APP
pear to thrive Is spotted 1t Is imme-
diately taken from the coop. At the
stations where we have refrigera-
ket In most cases we ship to our
packing plant.
The only difference between the
chickens marketed in this country
and those we ship to London is the
method of packing, The English
"squatted," that is, it's legs must be
directly beneath it's body, as though
the fowl were squatting on the
ground. The American housewife
cares nothing about that. All she
wants is quality and she pays little
attention to the way the chickens
legs are arranged.
In this country most of these sci
entflcally fed chickens are bought by
the better-class hotels. clubs, and
the Weather people who can afford
to pay higher price for such stock.
Milk-fed stock forms only a small
percentage of the chickens annually
eaten In the United States. Probably
four-Afths of the supply still comes
from the farm barnyard.
Ducks are also raised on scientific
lines They are kept within an in
closure, limited in space, but food
troughs, amply filled, prevent them
from roaming about In search OF
food and they fatten rapidly.

Some three years ago number of
prominent retail druggists realizing
that big change was to be made in the
proprietary medicine business, that the
public demanded to know what the in
gradients were of the PREF tions they
were advertising, and that a general
reform was about to take place in pro-
prietary medicine manufacturing ard adj
vertising, formed cooperative COM
pany to meet the public's demand. This
company was called The United Drug
Company, of which the undersigned
is one of the thousand members.
Our object was, first, to manufacture
a line of prescriptions such as we had
tried out in our stores and found to give
the very best of results, and second, by
owning oui own cooperative manufac-
turing company we would be able to
know the exact formula of every prepar-
alton we were selling, thus enabling us
to give to the public the very best rem
edies we could find at actual manuiac-
turing cost, plus a single retail profit.
This enabled The United Drug Com
pany to escape the heavy charges for
advertising and other expenses such as
have to be paid by proprietary remedies.
What was most important, it insureS
safety and satisfaction to our customers,
because we druggists know just what
we are selling.

pointed who spent long time IN testing

three years they say that each one of the

Taking into consideration the fact that
the farms today, smelter smoke included,
are worth three times their value, before
the SmelterS were built it would appear
that the man with the bunch of whiskers

and almost impossibility of securing ex-

alton in a very complacent frame of
mind.
But looking at it from the business
mans view. nothing so serious has
threatened the camp for many years. The
volume of business was never as great

TRADING IN MINING STOCKS.
Chapter on Subject by a New York
Publication.

Continued criticism of carping chara cter
is heard and printed concerning the cur
rent developing speculation in mining
stocks, says the Wall Street Daily News.
There is no valid reason for this One
of the greatest factors in expansion of
American business is activity in mining
industries. Production of coal and iron
ore need not be more than alluded 20.
The most fancifui pessimist can see
nothing criminal in that. But when it
comes to new development of gold. sill
yer or copper mines. hands are lifted in
horror. and passionate appeals are made
to the public to have nothing to do with
such atrocious wickedness.
Indiscrjminate abuse is not argument
Of course there are fraudulent mining en-
terprisec-sO is there fraudulent banking,
fraudulent insurance, fraudulent everyday
business-but We are not warned against
banking or insurance or everyday bust
ness because now and then rogues sue
coed in swindling. Why, then. should
dishonesty secures occasional foothold
in it?
The present mining boom has legitimate
cause. Prices for all metals, except gold
have materially advanced within last
year-notably so for copper and silver
Coincident with advance of price is cheap
enmg OF production. due largely to cleo
trio inventions. Mines can be worked at
far lower levels than ever before. Ores
hitherto unavoidable become commercially
profitable. A revolution has been quietly
effected by human genius.
Public recognition of this comes in the
form of speculation in mining shares be-
cause this is the facile method of get
ting an interest in a great and hopeful
business. Why should the man of mod
crate means not buy some mining stock
in which he can reasonably hope for good
profits? Why should speculation be fos-
tered in railroad and industrial shares and
wheat and cotton and tabOOed in mining
properties2
Just one thing the mining Speculation
must be careful about-the character OF
the men behind the stock.
