Union. That made the fight of the
mattresses a tickish subject for the
newspapers, that depend upon adj
vertising for profit, to handle.
For they don't dare, as rule, to
go contrary to the wishes of the State
street stores.
Had nobody been arrested but pick
citing mattresses the newspapers
could have passed the matter over
lightly and public attention would not
have been attracted to the issues in
volved.
The arrest of a woman of the
prominence of Ellen Gates Starr of
Hull House, however, could not be
ignored. It's news value was too big.
Too many people would know of it
even if the newspapers suppressed
the news.
So the arrest and trial of Miss
Starr were duly reported and the peo-
pie of Chicago got much of the truth
concerning the strike and the bru-
tally Of the police. l imagine the
newspapers were really glad Miss
STAIRS arrest forced them to print
the news-for nearly all of them did
better in giving their readers the
truth than ever knew Chicago kept
newspapers to do before.
This illustrates what women of
prominence and social standing can
do to help their working sisters gain
a living wage.
The pull of Big Business is so pow
erful in politics and government that
there is little hope of securing any
help from the law in establishing a
minimum wage for women. The
only hope lies in organization of the
women workers in all lines of en-
deavor.
And the women workers in depart
ment stores and other places where
women work for low wages can be

ers should be a part of the suffrage
campaign. The real aim of women
in their fight for the ballot is liberty,
freedom from slavery to men.
There are many kinds of liberty,
dnd there is much work women will
have to do before they are free, but
there is nothing more important to
the entire cause of suffrage than
freeing women workers from indus
trial slavery and the deadening in
fiuence of low wages.
When the women workers of ILL
nois are organized for collective bar
gaining they will constitute a power
full army to go on and win still
greater freedom for women.
The women of Chicago should get
solidly back of the striking wait
resses and follow the lead of Ellen
Gates Starr, who wasn't afraid to go.
to prison for free speech and the
rights of women workers.
Up to date about the only encour-
agment the workers have got outside
their own ranks has come from the
Socialist party. The Progressive
party has a splendid social justice
platform, but it doesn't get down on
the ground and fight when the issue
is drawn as it has been in the Hen
rici strike.
At that, the new party has gone far
beyond the two old parties, but is still
many laps behind when it comes to
practicing what it breaches.
Anyhow, women should get to-
gether for the workers.. no matter
what party they happen to be tied
up to.

HANDLING THE FARM POUlTS
wing Feathers Should Be Pulled
When the Youngsters Are From
Four to Six Days Old.

According to some good authorities
little turkeys stand better chance OF
living and thriving If long wing feath
ers are pulled when they are four to
six days old. At this time they come
out easily. No doubt this prevents toe
much strength being taken from theil
systems by the extreme growth of the
long feathers that hang down (almost
drag sometimes), giving the little birds
an unthrifty appearance.
When turkeys are about two weeks
old. says a writer in Inland Farmer
we begin to feed them Just little
cracked wheat and other small grains
such as chicks do well on, making the
change by degrees. When feeding
milk curd we sprinkle 1t lightly with
charcoal occasionally; this helps pre-
vent bowel trouble. And once In
awhile when we are giving mosstened
feed we sprinkle 1t lightly with little
chick grit.
III you find young turkeys dropping,
the first thing to look for is lice and
watch about feeding too much. On
farm range turkey hen will raise her
flock with very little feed from the
house; just enough to keep them
tame and let them know they have a
home. The little turks won't stand
demonstrating as chick will. They
have to have plenty Of air; won't do to
shut them in a close COOP

In connection with the two expert.
ments' mentioned, about 100 head OF
ewes are kept. A roomy and conve.
n1ently arranged barn for housing
sheep and goats has just been COM
pleted and will render 1t possible to

ried upon a succession of forage crops
with view to determining the best
plans of planting and grazing forage
crops In eastern states.
For the past few years there has
been great interest in the mich goat,
which has often been hailed as the
poor mans COW. Today, however,
goats In this country which are good
mixers sell for as much as the aver
age dairy COW. On the continent of
Europe, particularly Switzerland,
breeds OF goats which are heavy milk

seases In continental Europe their I'm.

mock OF common does was obtained,
and these were bred to Saanen and
Toggenburg bucks. Milk records were
Kept Of the native does, AMI such rec
ords will be kept of the half-bred does,
In order to obtain a comparison.
A herd Of hogs is maintained for
the purpose of studying breeding and
feeding problems. A modern, sanitary
house has been built, and equipped
FOR conducting this work. There are
also number of small portable houses
with sufficient space for SOW and lit
ter or two or three mature pigs.
AT the farm house there Is also a
laboratory for the study OF breeding
questions. There are usually about
1000 guinea pigs on hand, represent
Ing 80 families. The effects Of in
breeding are being studied as the re-
suits from such investigations with
guinea pigs throw light upon princi-
pies that operate in larger animals.
Results that suggest the existence
of laws of inheritance ia these small
animals can be tested out on larger
animals. By using guinea pigs a great
saving In time is effected 1t is posi-
Bile to secure three generations In
year, thus showing the effects of any
special method of breeding in a frac-
ton of the time needed with sheep or
cattle and at much smaller expense.

KEEPING SMALL FLOCK
GOOD REVENUE FROM POULTRY
ON VILLAGE LOT.
Safe to Say That Any One With Ordl-
nary Sense and Industry Can Make
Money by Raising Chickens-
Feed Only the Best.

(By KATE ST. MAUR- Copyright. 19l4)
With $50 square feet Of ground suit
able for poultry, and devoting half
an hour every night and morning,
with an extra two or three hours on
Saturday. you should be able to add
two or three hundred dollars to your
income. My authority for this is my
knowledge of bank clerk whose
home is beyond the city limits, who
made $500 last year from a flock of
100 hens, and Of a postmistress who
made 1852, though neither of them
gave more than few hours a week
to poultry, so 1t seems safe to say
that any one with ordinary common
sense and industry can make three or
four hundred dollars. Any sort of old
hens and coops won't do. A person
who starts with very little capital
will find 1t advisable to buy three
good birds rather than twenty poor
ones and make q clean, new house,
even If it's only 3 by 6 feet, rather
than patch up some vermin infested
sha-ty. This is the time to lay the
foundation of winter eggs and next
years profits, SO II you have a flock
of any Of the popular breeds hatch
every one. But. II your flock consists
OF mongrels, feed we'll and get all the
eggs you can, sell them for table use
and with the proceeds buy eggs from
some reliable dealer. or, what is bet
ter, sell a few old birds and buy
small L.
tie metal machine costing six dollars
which holds so eggs. Fireless brood
ers from the same firm cost the same.
Feed Only the Best
Chicks should have nothing to eat
for 4S hours after leaving the shell.
The reason is the yolk is absorbed
Immediately before a chick breaks
through the shell and must be allowed
time to digest and pass through the
bowels before any foreign substance
Is introduced or Indigestion and
diarrhea will result
Commercial chick feed is the best
feed, being a mixture of seeds and
finely broken corn, specially put up
for chicks. Once a day give a little
pot cheese or stale breed soaked in
milk and squeezed dry. When con-
fined to breeders vegetable material |
must be added, such as lettuce leaves
or tops Of green onions chopped fine. |
Keep clean water. ground charcoal |
and fine grit always before them and |
remember, with really good birds, |
your profits come in the spring from |
selling eggs for Matching or for day
old chicks. Indeed, you should not
begrudge the utmost thought and care
to your poultry in the growing stage.
for 1t is then you are building the
oundation for a profitable poultry

During the fall OF 1912, 20 weanling
horse foals and 20 weanling mule foals
were purchased for the purpose of de-
termining the comparative costs Of
raising these under farm conditions
from the time Of weaving until they
are old enough for work purposes. A
careful record is being kept of all
costs, including that of breaking, and
full credit will be given to the animals

ment OF Agitculture)
In the summer OF 1910 the depart
ment Of agriculture purchased a farm
OF 475 acres at Beltsville, Maryland,
which is about twelve miles from the
city. OF Washington, to be used for
experimental work In animal breeding
and feeding, and related subjects.
About 100 acres Of this are devoted
to dairy interests, and the remainder
(of which about 95 acres are timber
land) to other branches of animal hus-
bandry.
On this farm many problems Of
economic Importance to the public,
and particularly to the agricultural
public. are given much attention. The
farm work is done largely by mares,
some OF which are purebred Percher-
ons. and the other grades. These
mares are bred to a Percheron stall
lion, and therefore not only earn their
living by the farm work they do, but
In addition produce foals. In the sum-
mer OF 1913 the imported Percheron
stallion Isolant 65096 (7S859) was pur-
chased by the department. He is

for the young chickens. The equip
ment consists of one long breeding
house, is by los feet. attached to a
feed house containing an office and
laboratory, the basement of which is
htted up as an incubator cellar. Most
of the poultry houses are of the colony

they may easily be moved onto fresh
ground. The front of the long house
contains large muslin curtains for ven.

the curtains are closed. Lamp incu.

used in Matching and rearing the
stock, while many of the chickens are
reared under hens.
The stock consists of selected fowrs
