Before the first French company

began to slide, and 1t first gave the
Americans trouble In 1905. the second
year Of their work on the canal. Be

ONLY LADY BARRIERS

WHILE MEN STRIKE
Only Three Shops Open, but
Owners Expect to Settle
Difference Soon.

me blight Of whiskers remains on
Dsookiyn. The BARRIERS continue on
strike There wsrs only three barber
shops in the borough open to-day and
these were manned-ibeg pardon--worn-
aansd by 'iady" barbers. Such q busi-
nsss - the feminine barber shops did!
Il had been hoped THAI the strike,
which began TO assume serious proper
tions last Monday. would be settled at .
conference between representatives Of
the 5000 striking BARRIERS and a COM
inittee representing the owners OF
Brooklyn's 1000 barber shops. The con-
ference came to naught. The BARRIERS
are as far from their bosses As ever.
The BARRIERS want a twelve-hour day
and one day OF a week with no work
before s o'clock or after noon on Sum
days. The bosses admit that their de-
mands are reasonable, but many Of the
bosses who have worked ever since they
werc boys from twelve to fourteen hours
a day are averse to giving In to the
bRrberG union. And unless tho boss
BARRIERS agree to the terms Of the bar
bers q settlement cannot be reached.
However. Il IL expected that the
bosses will como to terms tonight In
some sections of Brooklyn the males
visit the barber shops only on Sat-
urdays. Sunday is also a big day. The
BARRIERS say that the snip OF the shears.
the plop-plop OF the leather brush. the
scrape OF the blade and the loud
screams OF the customers will be heard
again in all the barber shops in Brook
iyn within forty-two hours.
A crowd OF strikers visited Jamaica
this morning and paraded through the
streets of that village. stopping at the
various barber shops to try TO induce
the Journeymen to Join their ranks. Eight
strikers were arrested in front OF the
town hall for causing crowd to collect.
They were arraigned before Magistrate
Fitch. who suspended sentence. The
same crowd visited Richmond Hill yes
to-day. About thirty Of the jamaica

SPROUTED GRAIN FOR w
Green Food May Also Be Supplied IN
Form Of ANY Surplus Supply Of
Vegetables on Hand.

Where it is possible a winter crop
should be planted to furnish green
food for the fowls. 1t does not take a
large area to furnish green food for
the fowls, and usually plenty OF space
may be found for this purpose. But
where n has only a city lot, and a
green crop is out of the question, ar
engagements should be made to sprout
oats, rye, wheat or barley. If nc other
space is available a box of soil will
suffice. The box may be filled with
rich garden loan if the seeds are to
remain long enough for the plants to
grow. If the grain is to be fed as
soon as the seed sprouts a box of sand
is sufficient. The box may be set in a
cellar or in the kitchen near the stove
in very cold weather.
Green food may also be supplied in
the form of any surplus vegetables
that you may happen to have on hand.
The best plan for feeding them is to
place a nail in the houses on the wall
lust high enough so that the hens will
be compelled to jump a little to reach
1t. Then take a beet or any other veg.
etables that you desire to feed and
stick them on the nails. 1t is a handy
little arrangement, and compels the
fowls to exercise for their food.
