TEXTILE WORKERS WANT MORE

Fall River, Mass, Dec 4.-Defnite
action has been taken starting move
ment for a general increase in wages
of the $4,000 textile operatives in this
city. Four of the unions have voted to
ask the Textile Council to endorse
their demands for an advance. The
unions seeking the increase are the
IWeavers, Carders, Slasher Tenders and
Spinners, representing three-fourths
of the organized mill workers of Fall
River. There has been general feel
ing of unrest among the operatives
for a considerable time, due to the
fact that two Of the largest corpora.
tons in the city have declared big
dividends. One of the mills has paid
cash dividend of $4,000 and anoth-
er mill dividend of SO per cent, which
amounted to $4,000. Several other
mills have also declared large divi.
blends This fact is responsible for

-. Timers Locked Out


Aurora, Ill, Dec. 4.-The Master Tin
ners, or at least portion Of them,
have opened warfare against their en-
ployes. 1t appears that some of the
Master Timers have become inocuIa-
ted with the prevalent uniOnIb busting
ailment called the ''open,shop." No
tees were recently posted in some Of
the shops to the effect that on and aft
er certain date the shops would be
operated on the ~open-shop" basis
Four of the shops, however. refused
to join the busters" and are at work
doing rushing business, as much Of
the business of the "open-shops" is
coming to the firms who are able to
handle work in the sheet metal line.
fne National Association of Manufac-
tuners, so it Is asserted, has consider
able part in the affair. 1t is claimed
that the plan was tObegin with the
Timers because that looked to be an
easy job. The next in order was to
be the Electricians, then the Painters,
then the Carpenters and SO on down
the line. This program, however, had
been mapped out to begin on January
/, but the impetuous Master Timers
so obsessed with their union-busting
program, could not wait and started
the fight six weeks ahead of time. The
union men in Aur "a are not alarm.
ed, as they are confident that the fight
against the union Timers will be Sc
! unsuccessful as to dampen the ardor OF
the other employers to such an extent
that the union-busting carnival will be
abandoned.

CHURNING HINTS.

Cream from cows far advanced in
their periods of lactation often churns
hard. This difficulty may be reduced
considerably if care is taken to see
that each batch of cream is cooled and
then carefully mixed with the rest of
the cream on being added to it. Cream
of the night before and of the morn
ing of the day of the churning should
not be included in the churning. A
further aid will be found to be the ad-
dition to the cream the day before it is
churned of half a cupful of sour or
butter milk for each two and half gal
Ions of cream. This serves as a start
er and tends to produce an even ripen-
ing. A thermometer suitable for the
purpose should be at hand, and the
cream should show a temperature of
from SO to 60 degrees f. when ready
to churn

An effective dough raising device that
q handy man can make for his wife has
been patented by a North Dakota man.
The heat required for the process is
supplied by an old fashioned oil lamp
A box with a hinged lid in front is
fastened beneath the kitchen table.
The pan of dough sets in the bottom of
this box. At one side a sort of small
stovepipe with an inverted hood enters
the box. This hood fits over the lamp
chimney, and the heat that rises in the
chimney is conveyed into the home
made oven. TO regulate the tempera-
ture in the box so that 1t shall not be-
come too hot there is an expanding at
tachment that expands when the tenn
perature gets too high and opens
valve which lets some heat escape

WILL ENCOURAGE FRUIT GROW.
ING

The province of Vera Cruz, Mexico,
proposes to encourage fruit culture by
offering big cash prizes. Prizes of from
500 to $1,000 are to be awarded to
those fruit growers who shall plant
and first bring to market crops from
tracts devoted to the raising of or
anges, mangoes and pineapples. These
orchards must have from 1000 to 10,-
600 trees and from 10000 to 100000
pineapples. All those engaging in fruit
culture under the conditions named are
to be exempt from land taxes for a Pc
riod of ten years and are to have the
benefit Of a refund in freight charges
equal to 10 per cent for a similar period
on all fruits which they ship to mar
ket. This is encouragement of very
definite kind, and under it the fruit
raising business ought to prosper.

MUSHROOM GROWING.

If any of our readers should chance
to get inoculated with the mushroom
growing microbe it would be a good
idea for them to find out all about the
business they can before going into it
on big scale. There are good many
risks and chances connected with it,
while the returns even under the most
favorable conditions are but little more
than in the growing Of the common
garden crops. Especially should one
beware of flaming advertisements tell
ing of enormous profits to be made,
coupled with offers to sell the spawn
for starting the beds at exorbitant
prices. This is nothing but sucker
bait, and one should give such firms
wide berth. If you should want to
start in the business on a modest scale
write to the agricultural department
at Washington or to your own expert
ment station for the address of reliable
firms from which the spawn can be
got. The government bulletin on
mushroom growing may also be had
for the asking.

A BOY AND AN ACRE OF CORN.

A wide awake boy twelve years of
age, Harvey Jordan, who lives nine
miles from Shelbina, in Shelby county,
Mo-, on rural route No. 3, won first
prize of 5000 in gold in the boys corn
growing contest which was conducted
last season by the Kansas City Star.
The yield on this prize was ninety-six
bushels and thirty-five pounds. But
the yield was not the only determin-
Ing factor in the awarding of the prize.
The other considerations were the
practicability of the methods employed
and the boys own story of how he
grew the corn. The variety of corn
grown was pure bred Reid's yellow
dent, the seed having been saved the
fall previous before there were any
heavy freezes, stored in a dry attic
and carefully tested before planting.
The land on which this corn was grown
was a bottom pasture land-a sandy
loan with a clay subsoil. The corn
was checked in with two row planter
