e>WTH THE MINES AND MINERS. -


President J. b. Atkinson, Of
the st. Bernard Mining Co., has
gone to New Jersey for a sojourn
of about two weeks, when he
will return home with his family,
who have spent some months in
the East.
The outcome of the late cleo.
ton was watched with great in
terest by the mining fraternity
in general because as majority
of them viewed it the election
of Taft meant in many localities
a return Of the business prOsperl-
ty we enjoyed about year ago.
The Zinc mines of Missouri
did not fail to vote for their in
terest as they saw it, when last
Tuesday they voted against the
candidate for Congress who de-
clared IN favor Of free trade,
which would result in shutting
down the Zinc mines entirely or
severely crippling them. Self
interest was at stake and they
voted for the man who favored
protection Of home industries.
Inspector Tom Long will spend
some time this week in Webster
county where he goes to inspect
some mines in the vicinity of
Clay. Tom finds that in order
to attend his duties properly he
must be almost continually on
the move.
Miners, generally, resented
the insult offered them by Comp.
ers who undertook to dictate to
them and all organized labor
how they should vote at the re-
cent election. They voted &C.
cording to the dictates of their
own conscience.
MIR. Veazey has been installed
as foreman Of car repairs at
Hecla mine and is proving to be
the right man for the place, but
the duties there are quite nu-
merous and varied, it will keep
any one man very busy to keep
up.
One day last week a forest fire
near the Hecla mine called part
of the crews from No. ii and No.
9 mines from duty to fight the
flames. They soon had the fire
under control after about two
hundred panels of fencing had
been destroyed.
The new Paris, Tenn, coal
trains are proving to be some
thing long needed, and the coal
operators feel thankful to the
railroad officials who have made
a move that will hereafter insure
prompt transportation Of coal to
the markets.
Work on the new scales atthe
Hecla mine is now under head
way, and foreman Toombs and
his assistants think that at the

will be ready for service Geo.
Miller is on hand seeing that the
masonry is substantially built,
aud the indications are that a
first class job will be done. Many
favorable comments are heard
on the lumber supplied for the
work as it is fine considering the
scarcity of timber.
Tom Long was called to Louis
vile last week to inspect oil used
at the mines in this state. He
reports that he finds the oil COM
panies ever ready to comply with
the requirements of the law, and
that he seldom ever finds an IN
ferior grade placed on the mar
ket.
We wish some courageous man
would venture TO ask Secretary
Geo. q. Atkinson who he put his
money up on at the recent cleo.
tion, and then who he voted for.
Some queer things happen about
election time we don't like to
inquire into.
James Kelly, of Zlegler, H.,
has returned home for brief
visit. He was one of Earling-
toms pioneer miners, and he Is
always welcomed here by a host
of friends.
Chief State Mine Inspector
Norwood is said to be in a feeble
condition yet is able to be up
and attend to his duties.
Foreman Toombs and crew re-,
turned last week from Fox Run
mine, where they had been en-
ployed for some time making
repairs on the tip and shaker
screen.
John Mitchell's eleventh hour
plea for the miners who at one
time respected him, to vote
against Taft, seems to have had
no effect, as was shown in the
many states where coal mines are
numerous by the vote cast in his
favor. Miners know which side
of their bread is buttered, and
they take no orders from would

says:
Some Extracts.
Missouri poultry products in 1903
were valued at s36, 725,539.
Neither oat crop, orchard products,
potato crop. sugar beet crop, nor wool
clip for any recent year has been worth
the product Of the poultry yard dur.
ing the same year. Only in q year or
two has the gold and silver production
exceeded the value Of the poultry pro.
ducts.
In 1907 the value Of poultry products
reached s6o0. 200, 900, fully $4,000, 900
more than the value Of the wheat
crop. Somebody must be making
money out Of the poultry business.
During 1907 the market price Of Or.
egon eggs ranged from II, cents to 40
cents per dozen.
1t Is possible to get an egg yield Of
$50 eggs per fowl per year, or even bet.
ter than that.
From August 1905 to August 1907.
Joseph Schultz, of:Marion county, Or.
egon. got 45.124 eggs from 2s5 hens
and received therefor $3.50 SO. That's
an average Of more than $50 eggs per
hen and little more than 20 cents
per dozen for eggs.
Enough labor Is frequently expend.
ed on 100 hens to keep 1000 hens.
"A minimum number Of fowls for
one man would be about 1000 hens.
a modest living may be made on half
that number, but one man should be
able to take care Of at least 1000 hens,
and those hens should bring 10 reve.

number and employing extra help to
do better than that.

Mr.. Ringhouse Of Gresham believes
that thousand dollars profit can be
made above cost Of food with 1000
hens and with extra care. good stock
and good management as much as
o., 900 may be made.
There are great possibilities of de.
velopment in poultry.keeping on the
farm, where the farmer gives intelli.
gent care to the business.
"Climate is not so much a factor in
poultry.keeping as In most other
branches OF agriculture. Poultry Is
found in every state OF the Union and
probably in every county.
More consideration Is now being
given to fresh air than warmth in
poultry houses.
1T has never yet been demon strated
that fowls can be kept In warm houses
without injury to the constitutional
vigor Of the flock, and the vIgor of the
flock must be the first concern OF the
poultry breeder.
Where enough land is available the
movable colony house Is without ques.
ton the safest and most practicable
house to use.
"The question OF floor space, how.
ever, is OF little Importance; it Is more
a question OF fresh air. With plenty
OF pure air fowls will stand consider.

The chief argument in favor OF the
small house is that It Is possible to
