The Baltimore Star

The Leading Evening Paper of the
South.
The Baltimore Star established August
II, 1905, by the publisher Of The Balti-
more American, has wol its place as the
representative esening paper of the
south. 1t gives more news AMI more
reading matter than any other afternoon
paper in Mary land. 1t is especially rich
in departments-haaneial, sporting,
society, children, women, and to these
departments the best writer's Of A aaeriea
are regular contributors. The Star is
the great home paper. with something
for every member of the family. LISA
cheerful newspaper, with plenty of en-
tertainment. Those who try it keep on
taking it.
The Star is deliberately illustrated. It
has the first photographs Of important
events. Its portraits of leading men and
women are unequaled.
The Star has two great news services,
with wires direct to its offices from all
parts of the world. The Star has wire
less equipment. It uses every modern
invention and the best enterprise to get
all the news.
The Star is different from other South
ern papers. 1t has a quality Of its own.

INDEPENDENCE OF LABOR.

Oss thing that "a, demonstrated
conelusivsly in the last eleclio7 |.
that there is no such thing as q uni
fed labor vote, which is east for the
party or the individual that the heal
ers may select There is q great
deal Of talk before every election
and especially before presidential
elections to the effect that the lab
vote Eill'he cast -Olidly for this par
~ or that for one csndidate or an
o her. There has never been . clear
er demonstration Of the fallscv Of
this theory than 10 the last .aection-
The returns show tina, labor dill
not vote as unit that ths sngge--
tions Of the leaders were ignored, and
th,t every man voted his own poliii-
cal convictions
The labor clauses Of the Clayton
antitrust bill were inserted IS : con-
cession to labor in the hope that o.
gained labor would reciprDezss BY
support at the polls. Is Vas admit
ted, OF course, that these clauses
we're mere yerbiage, neither chang
ing the status Of labr nor modifying
the effect Of the Sherman lsE. Bat
the Clayton bill and rs alleged sd-
vantages to labor were an important
part Of the Democratic campsign, and
the Democratic leaders we're backed
up by the assurances Of certain labor
leaders 70 union ulen that this ball
q declaration of deliversnce from the
irammels Of the Sherman law
Returns from every important
Northern and Western Slzfe shoz
that the labor vote was divided be-
tween the parties, and 10 many cssss
in suong labor districts the Repnb' /
can party was the beneficiary,
Colorado was a stricking example.

the Democratic attorney generzl.
10 every manufacturing center the

lied that the sop granted to 1t By
the Clayton bill did not offset the
effect which the tarff bill has bad
on their own individual welfare
that where business suffers labor
must also suffer. Nothing that hurts
business caa possibly benefit labor,
and the last election proves that
intelligent and independent lahSr
cannot be fooled by sop or sOl'his-

MouRNs YEARS; KILLS SELF
eereft Of Family, Man Dies on Ami
versary Of slocum
Disaster.

New York.-Eleven years ago
Greenwich village mourned with
George Feldhausen. His wife and all
his children had persisted when the
steamer General Slocum was burned
Recently the story of his grief was
told again. Feldhausen's body was
found in his place of business at so
West Eighth street. He had commit
ted suicide by means of Illuminating
gas on the anniversary of the death of
those he cared most for.
For many years Feldhausen had
been the owner of a German cafe,
with bowling alleys attached 1t was
meeting place for the neighbors who
desired good beer and game of
cards. In the summer Feldhausen's
figure was a familiar one as he stood
at the doorway of his place, coatless.
but immaculate in a plated linen
shirt and old-fashioned black string
tie. He was seen last the other eve.
ming at the doorway looking into the
street and back through the years.
In the evening his cafe was closed
and the next day friends found his
body.

PLANTING SUGAR Cane.

Sugar cane is planted, not sown. A
small piece of the cane, long enough
to include two or three of the rings.
or nodes, is laid lengthwise, or stuck
in a slanting direction, along a fur
row which runs the length of the
field. In some sections the primitive
fashion of planting in holes is still en-
ployed. When the trench is planted
the pieces of cane are lightly covered
with earth. In few weeks they show
growth above the ground, the germ
buds at the rings having begun to
shoot out In. the form Of young cane,
the ring having at the same time
thrown out rootlets into the soil. The
parallel trenches are made far enough
apart, say at least three feet, to en-
able the workers, when the wide.
spreading canes are getting ripe, to
go between the rows and remove the
dying leaves which burden the ripen-
ing cane, thereby enabling the naked

PROPER AMOUNT TO
. FEED TO CHICKENS
Some Hens Require More Food
Than 0thers-They Differ
Also in Preference.

The old rule is that five pecks Of
grain will support hen for a year,
and one quart a day for IL hens is a
fair allowance; but it is we'll known
that one hen may consume even six
pecks, hence any attempt to feed hens
by fixing upon certain portion of
food will fail in securing expected re-
suits. They differ also in preference
of food and in their condition, lay
ing hen requiring different food and
more Of it than nonlayer.
It is difficult to measure a mixed
diet, but there is one safe rule to fol-
low. which is to give them half as
much as they will eat in the morning,
less at noon and full meal at night.
For dozen hens three or four pounds
of wheat can be put in the trough, the
birds allowed to eat until the last one
has walked away. then the quantity
left over can be weighed, which will
show exactly how much was eaten.
Then the next morning give them
half as much as they ate before, but
scatter the food in litter and let them
work for it. 1t is better to keep them
little hungry than otherwise. At
night fill the trough full of all sorts
of food that is at hand and suitable
for the purpose intended, and let them
eat until they walk away from it, then
remove the remainder. In thus feed.
ing the hens it requires but two or
three days to fully understand the re.
quirements Of the flock.

PURE AIR REQUIRED
BY FARM ANIMALS
Impossible to Secure Good Re.
suits With Sheep in Neigh
borhood of Large Cities.

Animals, like men, attain their best
growth and development when they
have pure food and air.
In England it has been found i'm.
possible to raise sheep with good re-
suits in the neighborhood of large cit
les. where the DIR was polluted by
smoke and gas.
Tho wool obtained from these city.
bred animals was Of such poor quail
ity that It did not pay to rear them.
No doubt this was due partly to the
fact that tho grass on which the ami
mails fed was also Of poor quality.
Horses which are brought up in
fresh country air attain their growth
more quickly. and 1t takes less food
and care to keep them IN good con.
dition.
