BIG PROFIT IN HENS.


Poultry Business az Viewed by .
Scientist Of the Government.
That the egg industry affords an ex-
cellent opportunity for investment is
the opinion of Professor Milo M. Has
tings, scientific assistant animal hus-
bandry Office Of the agricultural de-
partment at Washington. The best es.
Inmates available indicate that the in
come from poultry products is one Of
the four or Eve most important sources
of the agricultural wealth Of the ma
ton. The proof Of this statement is
attributed to the fact that the price
of eggs for the last ten or twelve years
has shown not only an absolute rise,
but a relative rise. when compared
with the general average of values Of
either farm crops or food products.
One of the principal requirements
generally considered is the degree Of
freshness The rule. however. is some

eight hours old that has lain In a
wheat shock during warm July rain
would probably be sWarning with bac-
terra and be absolutely unfit for food.
while another egg stored eight months
in first class cold storage room
would be of much better quality. For
food all fresh eggs are practically
equal. The tint of the yolk varies
somewhat. being more yellow when
green feed has been supplied the hens.
The flavor of the egg is also Influenced
by the food given to the hen.

horses and are in no way obnoxious to
any of these animals. On the other
hand. a few of them In flock of sheep
are protection against dogs and
wolves. They do we'll in practically
any section of the corn belt and seem
to be able to stand extreme heat as
we'll as extreme cold. They are also
less expensive to keep than sheep.
In commenting on the Angora goat
in his book on TYPES and Breeds
of Farm Animals" Professor Plumb
states that they range in weight from
60 to 100 pounds, although some are
found that weigh considerably more,
especially If fat. Their value as NUT
ton producers is not regarded CONNER
cially as very important. The flesh of
the fat young Angora makes excellent
mutton. However. as rule, nothing
but mature stock finds it's way to the
market, as even the wethers are COM
monty shorn for several years before
being fattened The browsing Of the
Angora gives to the meat a gamey
favor, regarding the excellence of
which there is difference of opinion
The fleece of the Angora goat is COM
monty known as mohair and is some
what coarser than fine wool, but is
longer and stronger. An average fleece
weighs about three pounds. though It
may yield as heavy as sheep under
the most favorable conditions. The
mohair lies over a short coat of hair
known as kemp. which is hard and
white and is very Objectionable fiber.
Its presence in American flocks is due
to the influence of common goat blood
on which the Angora has been crossed
in the past. In selecting sires. there
fore, those with a great amount Of
kemp should be avoided. Like wool.
mohair differs considerably in quality
and consequently sells at varying
prices. r. -

SW|TCHMEN ASK
HIGHER WAGES
INCREASE OF SIX CENTS AN
HOUR Is THEIR DEMAND
ON RAILWAYS.
10 DEMAND CONFERENCE SOON
New Schedule to Apply On All Lines
From St. Paul to tho Pacific
Coast-Want Pay
EquaIized.

st. Paul, Oct. 19.-The switchmen
IL the entire Northwest from the Twin
Cities to the Pacific coast, want an
increase of cents per hour and the
wages more nearly equalized.
One year ago the demands were
about to be made but the Grand lodge
officers of the Switchmen's union Of
North America suggested that these
demands he held in allegiance for y
months, as at that time the roads were
not doing much business.
At this time, however, the switch
men state that all the roads are doing
m enormous business. At recent
mass meeting of switchmen held at
Midway they required the managers
of the various coast railroads to meet
them in conference at st. Paul on
Nov. Is.
General Manager Bierd Of the Mir.
neapolis and st. Louis road stated
that on the Iowa Central there was
one schedule which governed the
trainmen and enginemen combined,
but that the switchmen had an agree
ment with the various roads which
could be terminated in a month by
either of the parties submitting writ
ten notice calling for q meeting in
so days.
The present scale of the switchmen
on all Northwestern railroads is: night
foreman, 81 cents an hour; day fore
men, IS cents; night helpers, "a cents
and day helpers, 81 cents.
The switchmen want these wages
more nearly equalized, aluso, but Sup
erintendent Myers of the river divi.
sion of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st Paul road and Twin City terminals
stated that the roads always held that
a night man should get more wages
than a day man.
G.. r. Huntington, general manager
Of the Minneapolis, st. Paul and Sault
Ste Marie road said that cents an
hour increase seemed to be a pretty
strong demand, but that such things
were generally settled by the COM
bined conference of the roads and
the switchmen.
The general managers of both the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
roads have received no notification
from the men as yet in regard to the
meeting and, in fact, only one road
has received the formal communica-
ton from the switchmen.
