"A. M. ASSN FIGHTING
ORGANIZED LABOR
UNITED Press Leased wire, !

New York, May 1S.-In a strenu.
Gus attack upon union labor and Ia.
Dor organizations, James w. Van
Cleave opened the convention of the
National Association of Manufactur.
ers here today. As president of the
organization, he made a report In
which he defended the aggressive pol
icy pursued by the officers in the con-
tests with labor leaders, and indicat-
ed that more hard fighting must be
expected.
He reviewed the events of the
year, as he said, ''in order to reveal
the adroitness, persistency and un-
scrupulousness of the enemies with
whom every employer in the United
States will have to deal, and thus
give an indication of the manner in
which we will have to proceed in the
future to make our labor count"
Van Cleave referred to the fac.
that certain members had expressed
the opinion that the measures taken
had been too aggressive, and had
suggested that more could have been
accomplished by conciliation. In this
connection, he declared that the as
ISOLATION had set the. program for
the officers. He said that they had
met the alternative OF fighting or sur.
rendering, and that he had always
fought. In part he said:
I'VE defeated them at Washing
ton, and then the conspirators massed
their forces at Chicago and attempt
ed to frighten the National Repub-
lican convention into sanctioning an
un-Democratic, anti-Republican and
un-Amerlca propaganda. We de-
feated them there also.

hitting immigrants TO become influ-
enced by the federation, which has
grown up amongst us, and which

In predicting that more serious
trouble Is yet in store, Van Cleave
said:

A protest against ships and ship

The report deplored the destruc-

For many years ECZEMA was SUP

How prize Lambs Were Fed.

F. E. Bryant of the Pecos valley,
New Mexico, exhibited a load of lambs
at the recent International stock show
and took first prize On them, demon
to his countrymen that he
knows how to grow good ones. The
lambs were dropped early in March,
the mothers being Gull ewes past their
usefulness on the range. They had
Leen put on alfalfa pasture in the fall
before. Through the summer the
lambs were on pasture with the ewes
until they were weaned August Is.
From that time on they were fed green
COW peas and other green feeds and
alfalfa hay in the feed lot. They were
finished on corn, alfalfa, hay, beets
and other root crops. Mr.. Bryant gave
the feeding his personal attention and
the result shows that he knew his bus
mess The lambs were eight days on
the trip to Chicago and won first out
of sixteen entries. They averaged 116
pounds.

SLAUGHTER of Birds.

BY killing insect-eating birds Amer
leans are robbing Dosterfty and per-
hitting an annual crop loss of $780,
000, 900 according to William butcher,
president of the National Association
of Audubon Societies. If we permit
the heritage of wild birds that still ex-
ist to be further wasted and destroyed,
we are robbing our children, declared
Mr. butcher The people, as trustees,
are in honor bound to preserve these
wild birds for those that follow us. We
do not wish our children to feel about
us as we do about our fathers, who
permitted the wanton and useless ex-
tinction of the bison and the wild pig
con. In the matter of bird legislation
there is no resting place; the only
price of satisfactory bird protection is
eternal watching of legislatures, for in
an unguarded moment an amendment
may be passed that will undo the work
of years.

even though the same persons were given the
care of the offices connected herewith they found
themselves at sea within few days. Now, how
ever, the permanent census bureau makes the
counting of the population business for all time
with Uncle Sam and this gigantic job will be
given the attention of his weather eye from day
to day, though the fruits of the work will be
thrust into the public gaze only once in ten years
Men who are experts taking the census of
countries declare that the system by which the
government will take the count in 1910 is admit
tedly model which the whole world should fol-
low, if it would be up-to-date as this corner.
Another project is foot to-day which will great
fy facilitate this census program. That is the
erection of permanent home for the population
counters. If congress allows Director North to
erect such an edidce, it will be specially con-
structed statistics manufacturing plant. In
communication to congress Director North sets
forth his plans. He plans to expend the sum of
$675000 for the purchase of site and for the six
story freproof building upon which he is laying
his program. This, he says, will provide ample
accommodations for the 5000 persons who are
engaged in this work from year to year.

wished TO see the census bureau, you would be

CultiOate the Open Mind.

President Eliot says the open mind is fruit OF
culture And it is likewise Christian virtue. The
man with open mind is an agreeable person. Ha
is just and kindly. One can talk with him with
pleasure, for be quite sure, if the mind is
open, there is no prejudice, envy ill-wi there.
The open mind is where the truth is welcomed and
where it is not tainted with meanness of any kind
As general thing, the more ignorant person
is the tighter is his mind closed. He thus becomes
exceedingly absurd and consequently pitiful. He
loses influence and in time, respect. He likes to say
his mind is made up, which means that the doors
and windows of his soul are shut and no more light
will be let in.
That is a bad situation for person to get In.
It is full of cold gloom, pessimsm and malign med.
iatons; and stands in the way of the world getting
better. And who wants to be such an obstruction?

Yield-A good crop in any portion OF
Louisiana should yield from sixty-f'Ve
to 100 bushels per acre. The Expert
ment Stations have produced little
ever 100 bushels per acre on good
crop. The Arkansas Station reports
yields of from ninely-ive to IT. bush-

farmers in north Louisiana indicate
Yields in that section of from eighty
to 100 bushels per acre.

pared for the market the peas must
be separated from the vines and thor
oughly ridden of the adhering dirt. Va
rious mechanical devices are help
full in this work. Peanut threshers
are on the market and are said to do
satisfactory work.
Price-The price per bushel OF tWen-
ty-two pounds varies from so to IS
cents. The average price for ten
years at Norfolk, Va, is said to be Go
cents per bushel.
Peanuts for Oil Production-Pea-
nuts contain from 35 to SO per cent
oil. Prime oil is said to be worth IS
cents per gallon. The lower grades
used for soap stock would bring a
much lower price, as they would come
into competition with the soap stock in
the form of cotton seed oil. The residue
after the oil is extracted is valua-
Bile stock feed and should bring from
$40 to $25 per ton when the meats
and bulls are mixed, or from $25 to
$50 per ton when the hulls are sepa-
rated before the oil is extracted.
Peanut Hay-Peanut hay, when we'll

Louisiana Stations have shown that
peanuts are most excellent for fatten-
ing hogs. The Arkansas Station found
that one-fourth acre in peanuts pro-
duced 313 pounds of pork, while the
same amount of land in corn produced
only 100 pounds of pork. The Ala

cheaper gains than on coWpeas, sweet

job was started nine years ago.
There are two styles of machines-one IS the

which are arranged much in the conventional
card index. The wonderful tabulating machine
then takes the pasteboards and solely by mechane
ical means adds Classics and makes up totals
from the cards, which pass through the device
faster than the eye can follow them Both ma
chimes are essential and each is dependent upon
the other for success.
The new card punching machine which Is a
great improvement upon the old system, is an
electrical continuance. Hitherto the operator
compelled to play upon it like typist. but to-day
all that is necessary is 20 touch the key desired
press a lever and the machine keeps on punching
cards as long the power is kept on. The old
hand puncher was capable of sending out 900
cards each day while the new automaton attains
q speed of $500 and saves the operators nerves
Another feature of these new machines is THAI
The United States will soon know, after the cards
have been turned in by the great army of Stats

Classification is also a great feature, divisions
being made of whites, blacks. and other races
along with females, males. natives, foreigners
married and single persons.
One hundred and fifty of these new machines
are in the process of construction for the

this census taking business.
