FRESH AIR REQUIRED
OXYGEN Is DousLY IMPORTANT
DURING THE NIGHT.
Many Advantages Seen In Use Of Open
From. House-seratehIns Shed Is
Kept Dry During Wet Wealth
er-Hens Keep Clean.

How It ever came to happen that
close, illventilated houses during the
long hours of night, 1t is hard to i'm
agine.
Perhaps 1t was the result Of mans
effort to domesticate the wild fowls.
He had to make many changes In the
habits of the birds. and 1t was natural
for him to do SO along the lines of his
convenience and in imitation of his
own conditions.
II he and his family spent the night
indoors with as little fresh air as pos
sible admitted into the rooms. why
was not that the proper plan to pur-
sue with his hens?
Oxygen is needed even more at
night than in the daytime, and chick
ems night is a long affair. especially
during the winter time. when 1t goes
to bed at 4:30, and is up at $3.50 or
a. m. So If fresh air Is important, it
certainly is doubly SO at night, and
the open houses provide for this very
nicely.
There are many kinds of fresh air
those that have a canvas or burlap
curtain are not truly open-front
houses, except when the curtain is
withdrew.
The best open-front is covered with
wire netting on one side or at least
the greater part of one side. The
open side should face the south. SO
as to admit the sunshine as well as
the fresh air.
AS this is the storm side. the end
of the house occupied by the roosts
should have canvas frame fitted
over the upper part, leaving all the
rest of the front that is occupied by
the scratching pen. etc. open to the
weather. as the protecting caves or
slanting roofs are sufficient to keep
out the rain and excess Of sunshine.
The advantages of this way Of hous-
ing chickens are many. and 1t pro-
vides well-ventilated scratching
shed. which is a big item during the
winter, and a more even temperature
during all seasons of the year.
During wet and muddy weather. the
scratching shed. which remains dry,
prevents tnc lOWiS lfOn bringing Inuu
into the nest boxes on their feet, and
dirty eggs do not bring as ready a
sale as the clean ones, and washed
eggs lose their gloss. and that outer
film from the shell. which admits the
air more freely to the inner part of
the shell. causing 1t to spoil more
readily.
The open-front houses renal COM
paratively dry during the wet weather.
and frost never accumulates on the In
side, so that litter remains dry for a
long time. and droppings are more
easily cleaned. There is no danger of
the fowls taking cold as one would
seem to fear. Such troubles come from
impure air. produced by long damp
ness or draughts.
The pure air gives them resisting
power against roup, throat or similar
troubles, as 1t adds to their vigor
These houses are now being tried in
places where the weather is very se-
we're in the wintertime. and no bad
results have yet been reported.

the English warden of the marches,
at the head of 1000 men lay encamped
not far from the river Tweed.
ITO scare away from their poor lit
tie crops the deer and wild cattle that
were wont, when night fell, to ravage
them, the Scotch country folk of that
district used to sound at frequent ia
tervals primitive kind of drum. To
the ends Of long poles they fixed what
may best be termed huge rattles, made
Of dried skins tightly stretched over
semicircular ribs of wood Inside each
skin they put a few round pebbles
When shaken vigorously these rattles
would give out noise quite terrifying
to any four footed animal, especially
when heard in the stiffness of the

Tne clever Scotchmen planned a
stampede, and in the pitchy blackness
of midnight sent a number of picked
men carrying their rattles carefully
poised and muffled, who stole unper-
ceived from bush to bush and from
stone to stone until they were close
hpon the enemy's camp on the heights
at either side Then they sounded the
rattles with sudden din truly in

Picketed horses, mad with terror,
broke loose, rushed through the camp
and trampled over the sleeping sol
diers. Those who sprang awake, deaf.
ened and bewildered by the unholy up
roar which but few comprehended,
were seized with a panic scarcely less
abject than that of their horses. Many
fed. The rest found themselves. as

Up in Kalamazoo, Michigan the
corset workers went on strike in
the factory OF the Kalamazoo Cor
set CO. Several hundred ladies
walked out of this factory fer more
wages and better sanitary conGi-
tions. Three years have elapsed
and they are still out and if all re-
ports are true they are giving the
Hatfelds the fight of their lives.
Members of the union are securing
the country and they are telling
the people the unsanitary condi-
tlons they were compelled to work
under All of these strikers are still
out and are being kept out on the
firing line by the contributions of
the labor unions. They have better
conditions while on strike than they
had while working, but the Kala-
mazoo Corset Company is paying
heavily for refusing to meet the
demands of the corset workers.
The work of the travelling repre-
sentatives of the union Is having
it's effect upon the firm and if the
corset workers continue the fight
as they have been the company
must in short slime close down.

Governor Glynn, of New York

bill reduces the number of hours
during which children under six
teen years may work from fifty
four to forty-four hours in any one
week, and from nine to eight hours
in any one day, and prohibits their
employment after O'Clock in the
evening instead of after Z. The
bill further gives to cities of the
second class the same privileges
accorded to other cities, in fact, it
restricts the employment of female
employees to hfty-four hours in any
one week and nine hours in any one
day in all cities.

other things which help to improve
and make up real unionism. To|
the delegates who are old timers
in the council chairs, it brought
back memories of years ago when
every meeting was sizzler and all
the seats were filled. 1t has al
ways been noticeable that the del
egates have a whole lot up their
sleeves, but you We got to get them
red hot before they will loosen up
and relieve their minds of what
they want to hand to the other
delegates. 1t is our opinion that
the delegates to the council meet
ings should conceal nothing that is
doing the labor movement injury,
or anything that will benefit it.
1t is this kind of meetings that
will in time result in good, where
the delegates get up and say some
thing that really benefits. We all
know that everything we buy can
not be bought with the union label,
but there are articles that we do
know bear the label and these ar
ticles : e should select first aud if
the stores have none in stock ask
for them anyway, it costs nothing
to ask for them We all may be
faulty at times in not asking for
union labeled goods, but it will do
no harm to remind each other when
we are not altogether abiding by
the obligation. While some harsh
words are hurled at one another,
yet it has a tendency to bring out
facts and make all of US sit up and
take notice and be more careful in
watching our p's and as.

Doom For imported Strike Breakers

United States troops being in
Colorado for only one purpose,
which is the establishment of peace
the Presidents order forbidding
the employment of imported strike
breakers is wise and timely.
The men who are striking today
are the strike breakers of ten years
ago. They displaced American
workingmen. They were new
comers, recruited at New York and
other seaports. They were des-
perate then. They are more des-
perate now.
Many great American fortune
had its beginnings in the profits
wrung from the dire necessities of
underpaid imported labor. When
the laws prohibited direct opera
tions of this kind, the Steamship
Trust assumed the responsibility.
The tens of thousands Of people
arriving at this port every month
from Southeastern Europe are here
in response to no economic demand.
They are drummed up by the
agents of steamship companies
without regard to consequences and
for no cause but wretched greed
OF passage money.
Once in the New World, these
dupes of millionaire transportation
corporations become the prey OF
other millionaire corporations in
tent chiefly upon profit and power
In Colorado, as recently in West
Virginia and Northern Michigan
the inevitable result of such labor
armed for revolt.
Strike breaking as now carried
on is not far removed from peon-
age. Ii recognizes no human OBJ
legation whatever. Its tendency is
always downward. 1t is toll with.
out hope. 1t is a cruel struggle
for life, with the knowledge thai
newer strike breakers may at any
time introduce a fiercer compete
ton. New York World.
