EmpIoye of Consolidated Min

Hostility to Unions, Badly
Beaten By Thugs,
,By Morning Journal Special LEASED Wire,

IBy Morning Journal Special Leased Wire
GOldiield. New, Dec. 6.-There is
intense, but suppressed, excitement in
Gold1eld tonight over the expected
arrival of the United States troops I'm
the gold camp tomorrow morning. 1t
is the one topic of conversation. Min
ers Union hall was filled all daV and
tonight the sidewalks and streets i'm
front are being thronged. There has
been no demonstration worthy of
mention, though some excitement has
been created by hot heads" who talk
of what thev will do when the troops
come.
The report that troops would be
ordered to the camp evidently was re-
garded by the miners as a blur in
tended to intimidate them and they
have come to a realization of the real
situation only within the last few
hours. They seem Disconnected and
nonplussed, as events of the last few
hours have swept along too fast for
them. Hhey are certainly unpre-
pared for the present turn of affairs.
President MciKnnon, of the local
Miners union, brother-in-law of
William ID. Haywood, is in charge of
the miners campaign. Vincent St
John has been in the hospital for sew
eral weeks as a result of a gunshot
wound received In a duel between
ulliStll anu dUblneT idDol ltdutf.
Sheriff ingalls, and his force are
disguised at the coming of the troops
and this afternoon the sheriff disap'
pearcd and his whereabouts are un-
known. 1t is conjectured that his ac-
rtion has an important bearing on the
present situation Before he left. the
sheriff said he knew of no trouble in
GOldfeld and that the call for troops
was made over his head. The sheriff
and his forces have always been
charged by the Mine Owners asso-
citation as being more than friendly to
the miners. He is one of the owners
of one OF the largest saloons and gam
bling houses In Goldfeld, largely
patronzed by the miners.
Last spring. during the strike, hum
dreds of striking miners were sworn
In as deTdtieF and armed. IL was be-
cause of the mlstrust of the sheriff
that the mine owners appealed to the
governor direct. Undersheriff Bert
knight and nearly all the county Of
cials signed a protest against troops
coming to Goldield and sent II to the
governor.
Il is understood by the mine oper-
ators that the coming of the troops
means permanent garrison at Cold
field. II is reported the plan has
been under consideration for several
months and that number Of applica-
lions have been made by the mine
owners throughout the state for such
action by the war department. But
little of the details could be gathered,
but IL is understood the post Will be
a branch of the Preside and that ii
will be a regularly established mil
itary post. The statement Is made
that the post would have to be estab-
lished in a few months. anyway, and
that troops are being hurried to Cold
field ahead of time to prevent the
possible outbreak Of violence in the
event of an attempt on the part of
the operators Co re-opene their mines.

When the comts of the fowls begin
to droop and look pale and limp, better
sort them out anc. get hens with nice,
bright combs.
1t is the singing hen that does a

folks.
The beef trust is leading US to trust
more and more in hens.
Change the diet of the hens often.
None of US likes to live all the time
on pudding and milk, good as they are.
About the surest way to fail is to
crowd too many hens into one pen. 1t
never paid. 1t never will.
Kind of hard work to wash eggs,
but they look so N uch better when you
offer them for sale!
Keep the doors closed at night. This
is the time of the year when enemies
of the biddies prowl around.
Use some animal food every day, but
have it good.
Have the feed boxes high enough
from the floor so that you can sweep
under them. Sure to be lot. of litter

Hens do not like to pick their shells
out of a box half full Of straw and

ting the box up where the litter will
not get into it.

chickens every day.

In a recent dairy article the author
gave his method of caring for his herd
Of dairy cows, presumably the fancy
herd of q wealthy owner, who was
breeding stock for a pastime and who
had plenty of money to hire all the
help necessary to care for his stock in
the way mentioned. His method would
keep a mar several men, if the herd
was a large one, in the stable from
half past in the morning till 6 or later
at night 1t called for grooming and
cleaning three times a day, watering
twice and feeding hay and grain six
times
While the farmer cannot perhaps
give his cows the attention received by
the herd above mentioned, he can have
a system of caring for hiss stock and be
regular in carrying it OUT, and this is
the main thing, says a writer in the
American Cultivator. Have a time for
doing each part of the work in the
essary to be away at any time during
the day and not get back on the exact
time by the watch that a certain thing
should be done, do it in its regular Or
der as regards other parts of the work.
If it is the custom to feed before
milking do it every time, and do not
think that it is just as well sometimes
to milk first and then feed. 1 think this
the better way, as the cows stand
stiller to be MIXED if not eating and
reaching for their food, although some
