the Wage Committees of the National
Association Of Glass Bottle and Vial
Manufacturers and of the Glass Bottle
Blowers of America adjourned their
conference tonight without reaching
an agreement over wages for the
coming year.
The manufacturers demand for a
90 per cent. reduction in wages be-
cause of the inroads made by
machine bottle blowers was modified
to "a demand for reduction Of S5 per
cent. but the men refused to accept
more than a 20 per cent. reduction,
declaring that the slump in the glass
trade is about at an, end.

This budget is an increase over that
OF last year. 1t adds So, 900 to the road
appropriation and increases the fire
department $1,000. $4,000 is added to
the contingent fund, while 81 900 is
provided for the Bridgeton Hospital
Association.
Ihls latter amount was the result of
an address of Ed. M. Fithian, who
presented the ssneeds of the Hospital
now that it is expanding. Alex r.
Fithian showed that Council has the
legal right to make an appropriation
for hospital work. and G. F. Reeves
and President B. F. Harding also spoke
for the association.
The various bonds that must be paid
next year, and the interest upon bonded
debt amounts to 1922, 71S. This money
will not have to be raised by taxation,
the amount will be taken from the
surplus water account.
While the appropriations are thus
increased and more money is available
for the use of the city, the tax rate
will probably be $1.9 per 81, 900 as
against 81. 93 the present year.

A Disappointment,

The committee that has the renova.
tion of st. Johns Lutheran Church in
hand, received notice from the Haney
Furniture Co., at Grand Rapids,
Michigan, that it would be impossible
to have the pulpit and altar in Bridge

The committee therefore has postponed
their service until August 18th in hope
that the goods will be here at that
time. Outside of these two parts of
furnishings everything is complete.

DREW THE LINE At SUICIDE.
Russian keblsman Very Wisely De.
cijrsd Contemplated Duel.

One Of the stories told of D. D..

A correspondent of the Cincinnati

that early In life Mann visited Europe
on a business mission, and at a din

quarrel with q Russian nobleman.
Next day he received a call from one
of the nobleman's friends, bearing an
invitation to q duel. IF he don't like
what l said to him. let him come up
and tell me So" said Mann. He
can come a-running. too, and carry
any size gun he likes"
The friend explained that would
never do. Nothing but the regular
thing on the field Of honor would do.
"Oh, all right" said Mann. I've

IRREGULARITIES OF TURKEYS.
Some Points Which VIII Aid In Rails
ing Thsw.

8. e. Wallace contributes the follow
ing items to Profitable Poultry" re-
Gently compiled by F. d. Coburn Of
Kansas:
Young turkeys are harder to raise
than chicks or ducklings, and in or
der to succeed with them more pains
must be taken to study their nature
and habits.
The natural tendency OF the turkey
il to roost where night overtakes 1t,
and in time the wild animals are apt
to diminish the flock.
This can be avoided by an inexpen-
sively constructed roosting-place, which
can be made with woven-wire netting.
a few posts and roof Of tarred paper.
where the birds can be housed 1t
night.
The young birds can be trained to
come up regularly at about four
o'clock to be fed. when they can easily
be driven into the roosting-place for
the night.
An earthen floor can be laid In this
pen. but 1t must be kept clean. The
majority of failures are. no doubt. due
to lack of proper knowledge or to care
lessness.
In many instances. where the young
are Matched by chicken hens. the fos-
ter-mother Is cooped and the little
ones deprived Of their liberty, and fed
almost entirely on wheat or grain Of
some sort, which alone il enough to
cause the poults to die.
They must have more Of = vegetable
diet, and even in this case judgment
must be exercised.
Turn the hen loose with the little
ones, and let them pick what they
most relish. giving them little meal
or wheat to coax them home and also
to quicken their growth.
In picking stock from which to start,
make your calculation that some are
wild and some are tame.
The bronze variety is very desir-
able for the market on account Of its
size and the sweet flavor Of its meat.
But on account of its wild. rowing dis
position this variety is hard to raise.
The birds nearly always hide their
nests, and perhaps will not be seen
for month or two at Matching season.
The White Hollands are more do
mesticated, and are more apt to make
their nests about the barn and out
buildings, as chickens do. They are
also layers, having = record of ~
high as ten eggs at one clutch. They
are probably little harder to raise
than the Bourbon Reds. which. by the
way, are handsome birds, but do not
become quite 80 tame. All turkeys
are peculiar about their nests, and
when they once select the location
they must not be disturbed.

FEED FOR POULTRY.
Ration Which viii Prove the Bsst Ego
Producer.

We are inclined to place corn at the
head OF the list Of grains. but to feed
all corn, unless the flock has unlimited
range and needs but little grain Of any
kind, would cause egg production to
cease in a short time. Corn and plenty
Of green feed and q range rich in In
sects, make \ first class egg food, but
where the hens are shut up. cora
should not make more than one-third
the grain feed. The remainder should
be made up Of wheat, oats and bran In
about equal proportions. and most Of
the corn that is fed during the year
should be given during the six cold
months.
But . diet Ct grain alone will not
stimulate egg production, declares the

HOW TO PLUCK CHICKENS.
Why Dry Picking 10 Apt 10 Prove the
Most satisfactory.

OF course any housewife knows how
to pluck chickens. says the farmer.
but do they know how to prepare the
birds 10 that they will be attractive to
the eye (which counts much to the
purchaser? When q bird is plucked
dry the poultryman will receive more
per pound for the fowl than when 1t Is
scalded.
In picking dry. the breast should be
plucked first, starting near the crop.
Natter the breast the thighs. then the
back near the base Of the tail. and last
the wings. As soon as the feathers
have been removed the wings should
be twisted over the back and the feet
washed, after which the thighs and
legs should be pressed to the body
either by placing brick on the birds
breast or by tying the bird, the object
of this being to give the bird plump
or blocky appearance.
Amy aged bird may be scalded with
out seriously injuring its quality II 1t
is properly handled; but owing to the
large number of poorly dressed scald-
ed fowls the marketmen place pre-
MUM of from one to two cents pound
on dry-plucked stock. Boiling water
may be used, but care must be taken
not to leave young birds in the water
too long, or the skin will cook. while
with old fowl little more time may
not do any harm. The head and shanks
should be kept out Of the water. as the
scalding will discolor them and make
them unsightly.
Immediately after the bird is taken
from the scalding water 1t should be
dipped into cold water to stop the
cooking, and, as poultrymen say, to
plump the bird" The bird should
then be hung to line with feet tied
together as NO bird plucked on the lap
or table will have so good an appear
ance.
II q scalded bird is exposed to a
draught when being plucked or when
cooling, the skin Is likely to harden
and become tough. It is because Of
these possibilities that dry plucking 10
recommended by large raisers of poul-
try. ~ the condition of the skin to =
great extent accounts for the high OF
low returns received.

SPECIAL FArrENlNo.
Give the Poultry Special Finish
Before Marketing.

A good many dollars are lost every
year by farmers because they send
their poultry to market in poor condi-
ton ~ regards flesh. On many farms
the practice is to ship every winter
several crates Of live poultry, young
and old, and In most cases the speci-
mems sold are picked up OF the range
and NO attention il paid to the condi.
ton OF qesh. The farmer can fatten
his poultry cheaper than any one else
under the sun and in most cases over
a pound Of weight can be added to
every fowl sold at cost Of not more
than nve cents. The extra flesh added
would make the entire consignment
sell for one or two cents pound more
than 1t otherwise would, at The lowest
estimate.
All the fowls that are to be sold
should be selected three weeks before
the time they are to be shipped and
placed IN separate quarters, suggests
The Farmer. They should be given 4
reasonably sized pen indoors and 4
fair sized yard outside. where they
may exercise somewhat in fair wealth
er. They should be fed three times q
day. morning. noon and night. The
morning and noon feeds may consist
Of one part corn meal, one part ground
oats with the bulls sifted out, one
part bran and third of part Of high
grade beef scraps. This may be mixed
With water or milk. though II milk is
used not quite 10 much beef scraps
VII be needed. The night feed should
fshould be given to drink and a box Of
grit and one Of charcoal should be
placed where the fowls can reach it at
any time. No more should be fed at
each meal than the birds will eat up
=. one feed and any that is left over
after Is minutes should be taken away
and the feeding troughs removed.
