SOCIALISTS WOULD VOTE
MINE WORKERS OFFICIAL
INTO LAWMAKERS JOB

HERRIN, Ill.,. July 1.-Plans to
start the fall campaign Immediately
after holding the nominating con-
vention in this city on June 26 are
being made by the Socialists here.
With a good candidate in the field
there Is a chance of getting a So
cialist into the state legislature from
this district.
There Is a probability that Groce
Lawrence, vice president of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of Illinois, may be
secured to run for state representa-
tive. It Is everywhere believed that
he would make the strongest candi-
date and that the chances Of VIC
tor yare. very good. u
In spite Of the fact that this IS
largely a mining district, an effort Is
being made to secure a speaker who
will be we'll qualified to talk Social
Ism to the farmers Of this section of
the state. In this way it is hoped
to get a good vote among the tillers
Of the soil. ii
About a third OF the Socialist vote
in this township comes from the
farming element. This has been
brought about by the fact that the
Socialists have been able to talk to
the farmer and get him interested
in his own material welfare, rather
than to talk to him from the point
of view Of the industrial worker.

LOS ANGELES, July 1.-The brew

Saloon men refusing to handle their

sensations of the professional union

Der of charters issued to new organ
izatlans since last October as COM
pared to the same period of the pre-
vious year, according to the report
of Secretary Morrison submitted to
the executive council now in session
here.
The report shows that 223 charters
had been Issued to new labor unions
in the last eight months, while only
Ill charters were issued for the same
period the year before. OF the new
chartered organizations, SO were To-
cal unions, sc federal labor unions,
81 city central bodies, / international
union and / state federation.
From October I, 1909, to June l,
1910, the income of the A. F. of l..
with the cash on hand amounted to
$2S8,644.43, and the expenditures
were '$119,926.4S, leaving a balance
Of $16S,717.95.
With the labor chiefs convened in
the national capital and congress
about to adjourn without enactinS
any of the measures providing for
the protection of American wage
carriers and their organizations, there
is much speculation here as to what
plans the executive council will for
mulate to meet the crisis.
The application for charter from
the Western Federation of Miners is
before the executive council, and a
committee Of the former organization
and one from the United Mine Work
ers Of America are here to help in
the work of solidifying the ranks Of
the metal and coal miners.
AT the opening of the second days
session of the executive council, a.
telegram was received from Barre,
VT, announcing the sudden death of
P. F. Mccarthy, international secre-
tary Of the Quarry Workers Union.
In behalf OF the council, President
Gompers sent a telegram of condol-
ence to the bereaved family.

All stock saved for sale as breeders

In January the laying hens will re-

work OF the poultry farm that ofs car
Ing for the newly Matched chicks Is
the most difficult to systematic OF to
intrust to the hands Of hired labor.
The coops or outdoor breeders
should be well scattered about, as it
Is not good for large flocks Of young
chicks to run together. Moreover.
young chicks must be protected in
their feeding quarters from the; pres
ence Of old fowls, which in their greed
to get at the food meant for the little
fellows will run over and trample
them. On the farm this Is most easily
arranged by having the food for chicks
IN a slat coop, which keeps out the
grown fowls. , ..,,. S 3

May, like April, is month in which
the hens take care of themselves. The
Matching Of the larger breeds should
be finished the early part OF this
month. Hens Of all breeds will Insist
upon, wishing. to brood. but can be
broken up by penning them in an out:
door coop for a. few days. Little
chicks will require a great deal Of
care, and when thundershowers come
up some one must, hasten out, ire
.quently> in the rain, and see that the
foolish hens and frightened brooder
chicks get under shelter and do not
crouch up IN some fence corner. ia
perchance some have been forgotten.

February.
The February work Of the poultry
yard is very like that Of the January.
The main idea at this season Of the
year is to keep the hens laying. When
the warm days come, the droppings
that have accumulated in the poultry
house will become damp and malodor-
GUS and should be removed. If there
Is a heavy fall Of snow shovel
little strip In front Of the house, and If
hens range around stables or in feed
lots it will pay to shovel path for
them. During very sloppy days it
may be desirable to shut the hens In.
as it is Of little benefit for them to
trail around in the slush. and it will
result in the soiling of the eggs.
March,.
With we'll kept flock Of poultry
the March egg yield is the heaviest
Of the year. Eggs are declining in
price rapidly at this season and should
be marketed frequently: By this
month any supply of vegetables kept
from the previous fall will have been
exhausted, and With the feeling of
spring in the air the poultryman must
not forget that warm days will not
bring the hens spring foods. Dry
clover and alfalfa are fair. but sprout-
ed oats are better, and it will be worth
the trouble necessary to prepare them.
AS soon as the ground may be worked
all yards or, If on a farm, patch OF
ground near the poultry house should
be sown in oats. The chickens may
pull one-half the crop up BY the roots
as it comes through the ground. but it
is the chickens we are interested IN
and not the oat crop. .'s y :!@. d.
If the incubator Isl to be used for
Matching it should be started about the
LIST of March. while the hens may
now be set as rapidly as they become
broody. With the heavy breeds every
effort should be made to have the bulk
Of the chickens hatch during the
month Of April. During the last two
weeks in March incubators are to be
set for Leghorns. .>.ss:z +. \

With green food sown the previous
month the egg production problem in
April will simplify itself considerably.
The hens can now range abundantly.
and the care necessary in the winter
time to keep them busy and happy is
no longer required April is the poul-
tryman's busy month. His labors with
the layers consist chiefly in gather
ing the eggs. but the work is most ar
duous with sitting hens and incuba-
tors. which are now running full blast,
