reaching.

Suit in equity under the Sherman anti
trust law Is to be instituted by the De
partment of Justice against what is
known as the European steamship pool,
on the contention that it is an arrange
ment in restraint of trade. The fact that
the vessels owned by the steamship com
panies forming the pool or number OF
them, touch at American ports. is the
basis for proceedings against them under
the Sherman law, as that enactment
gives the government jurisdiction to pun
ish violations of law affecting both inter-
state and foreign commerce. All the
steamship companies involved in the pro-
posed proceedings are foreign organiza-
tons.
The matter has been under investigation
by the federal grand jury in New York
for a long time. and it is expected the
suit will be instituted in that city, the
American headquarters or most OF the
steamship lines involved in the pool.
United States District Attorney Henry A
Wise who has been conducting the in
uuiries on behalf of the government,
probably will direct the suit.

GREEN BONE AN EGG PRODUCER

In order to get best results from
poultry, their surroundings should be
kept as near to summer conditions as
possible. Not only should the housing
be comfortable, but they should be
provided with the different kinds of
foods or their equivalent that nature
provides during the warm season, says
Farm and Fireside. When at liberty
in summer, a hens daily ration is
made up of grains, seeds, green stuff,
insects and worms. 1t is a fact that a
hen when at liberty will leave almost
any food, no matter how tempting, to
chase after an insect or snatch a
worm. Throw down a handful of
grain and a few pieces of meat, and
the meat is always the first thing
eaten Hens need animal food.
At this season the poultryman
should be feeding principally for eggs.
[ have found, however, that there is
no single egg producing food that can
be fed with profit exclusively. A va
riety gives the best results.
In order for the hen to produce eggs
in abundance, she must have food that
will supply the component parts, par
ticularly the protein and fat.
These are found in a greater or less

with a little at first, the amount may
be gradually increased until each dozen
hens get one pound of the green bone
While some poultrymen prefer to
feed it daily, giving it every other day
has brought me the best results,
though of course this depends on con-
ditions. Active fowls can safely eat
more of it than the more sluggish
ones can, as much more will natural
ly be consumed in the building up of
the tissues and organs of the body.
l have found bone to be one of the
cheapest chicken foods when it's value
as a food is taken into consideration.
In connection with green bone, foods
rich in carbonaceous elements should
be fed to supply heat and energy dur
ing winter, and when this is done there
is no good reason why the egg-basket
should not be filled with the most prof
table of farm produce.

NO HUMAN WASTE IN GERMANY

1t will be admitted that the rapid
increase of the German population from
$1,000, 900 after the war to over 10000, 900
today suggests the need of fresh terri
tories for expansion. 1t is true that
the rate of emigration has shrunk to
very very small dimensions indeed,
side by side with the great industrial
development of the empire, and even
today the area of Germany could
maintain a considerably larger popu
lation. But if immigration is to be
resumed, as it can hardly fail to be
some day, it is felt to be deplorab BILE
that the Germans who settle abroad
should be lost to the empire, as are
unquestionably those who go to North
and South America or to British colo
nies. The theory that only expanding
states are of any account in the
world, with the further conviction that
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-13

the German nation must and shall take
it's share in the domination of the
world by the white races, has had its
due influence in consolidating the
colonial party. The program of this
organization is necessarily somewhat
nebulous because of the fact that there
are few unoccupied parts of the world
left suitable for white colonization. But
that did not preclude the hope of the
Pan-German agitators that in the tenn
perate zone of South America there
might one day be found the oppor-
tunity to establish a new province of
the empire.-New York Journal of
Commerce.

A certain breed is sometimes con-
demned when the fault lies wholly
with the breeder who has used poor
stock.
To summarize: Select only good
stock DO not overcrowd. Give plenty
of fresh air. Feed good foods and feed
regularly. Keep everything clean.
Some points may appear trining, but

degree in the grains and vegetable
foods, but it is an established fact that
fresh-cut green bone is one of the very
best foods for laying hens during the
winter season, containing as 1t does
all the elements that enter into the
composition of the egg-protein, water
fat and ash-all found in the right
proportion in green bone.
Furthermore, being strong in protein
it serves the double purposes of fur
nishing egg material and also supply
ing material for building up the It's
sues and organs of the body which are
constantly wasting away. This is es-
pecially true with the laying hen
Hens take to green bone eagerly on
account of its animal nature. Another
great advantage is its ready assimila-
ton. In feeding it, however, care
should be exercised as the hens are
likely to take too much. Beginning

County Option Turned Down.


Although Mr. Lind had long ago de-
clared for county option ne will be
obliged to run on an initiative and
referendum and recall platform,
should he decide to accept the nomi-
nation. The advocates of the county
option plank in the platform were con-
siderably outnumbered in the commit
tee on resolutions and the minority
did not even submit a report advo-
eating their pet measure. There was
turmoil, however, after the platform
had been read by Senator D. ID.
Works of Mankato Professor Frank
NJ Anderson of the University of Min
nesota, one of the delegates, offered
an additional plank to the platform
favoring county option as advocated
by William ]. Bryan at the Nebraska
state convention last Tuesday. Then
the excitement started in earnest.
There were all manner of objections
and points of order raised to the mo-
ton, which was finally referred to the
resolutions committee. That body got
together and after few seconds de-
liberation decided to lay the county
option motion on the table.
1t was half an hour before noon
when Frank A. Day, chairman OF the
state central committee, called the
convention to order in these words:
Boys, here we are again in good
old fashioned, fighting Democratic con-
vention that is not controlled by
bosses and is unacquainted with the
machinery which propels steam roll
er. You have all paid 2 cents a mile
to get here and you would be paying
3 cents had it not been for the efforts
OF our late lamented governor and the
Democratic party"
Chairman Day then referred to the
candidacy of Governor Eberhart and
said that official wants to be elected
governor so bad that ne is willing to
accept the honor and let somebody
else run the office.
Hammond Temporary Chairman.
Mr.. Day then nominated Congress
man w. S. Hammond as the tenn
porary chairman of the convention.

demonstration of approval In sound

party in Minnesota the Second dis
