Conference Ends with Men
and Managers at Odds
Over Demands.
COUNTRYWIDE VOTE
NOW TO BE TAKEN
Heads Refuse TO Bulge on Eight
Hour Day-Another Meeting
To BE Held in July.

With the definite refusal Of the rail
road managers yesterday TO comply
with the union demands for an eight
hour day and time and a half for over
time. and the counter refusal Of the
representatives Of the big Four"
brotherhoods TO consider the proposal
OF the managers that the whole Ques-
tion be arbitrated under the Newlands
act or placed in the hands Of the In
terstste Commerce Commission. the
railway conference az the Engineering
Societies Building came to an end.
Now. with both sides in a deadlock,
the possibility Of a general strike in
volving $4,000 fremen. engineers. train
men and conductors. and extending
over ESQ. 900 miles Of railroad from
coast TO coast. looms large.
Although A. r. Garretson president
Of the Order Of Railway Conductors
in replying 20 the suggestion OF Elisha
Ice, or the Pennsylvania. chairman Of
the National Conference Committee,
that the matter be arbitrated. said a
condition which threatened the inter
ruption 81 traffic had not vet arisen,
vet the union men leave the city IN
four or five days 70 take a strike vote
Vote TO Last Forty Days.
This. u IS estimated will take forty
days. Another conference will then
he held. 81 which the union men will
he in possession Of the club OF a
general strike They entertain no
doubt OF their ability TO gain the
e. n
general strike II their demands are
not met At the second conference.
The present average yearly pay OF
the four large classes is: Conductors,
$1,000: engineers. $3.50: frcmen. ST.
0S0. and brakemen. $1,000 This IS
on q basis Of q ten-hour day. with ad-
ditional regulations as 20 distance COW
cred To change the wage scale 10 an
oight-hour basis would increase ssla-
ries % per cent and cost the railroads,
by their own estimate. SlO0,000.0O0
year
The tentative "yard-stick" proposal
offered by tho railway managers
would. union men say. take away from
employees parts OF the regulations
which they had worked n quarter Of
century 10 obtain.
When il became evident that tho
managers were not willing 10 grant
the eiCht-hour day without changing
certain parts OF the present reguls-
tions and that the union men we're
unwilling 10 corcede any part Of these.
the futility Of further argument was
apparent.

The $50 managers and union repre-
ssntatves sat in silence as Mr.. Gar.

CRATE-FED POULTRY
IS MOST DESIRABLE
Fat Is Distributed Throughout
Tissues of Entire Body, Thus
Making Flesh Tender.

Unfattened chickens are hard and
muscular, especially if they have
been permitted to range at will. Pen
fattened birds-confned in small
quarters and fed heavily on corn
are an improvement, but their fat is
usually deposited in Jumps in the
abdomen and il layers on the intcs,
tines, where much of it is wasted in
dressing and cooking.
In crate-fed stock the fat is distrib-
uted throughout the tissues of the en-
tire body, thus making the flesh ten
der and sweet. This is the secret of
the high quality produced by this proc
ess.
Anyone can successfully fatten
chickens in this manner if he will pay
attention to details. The work may
be conducted in a small way by the
individual producer or consumer, or
on a large scale by the commercial
fattener. No one has a monopoly of
the business; there are opportunities
for all.

WHEN SILAGE IS DANGEROUS
May Not Seem 20 Injure Some Ami
mails, but 1t Has Lost Its Food
VaIue-Learn Little Details.

(By PROF. c. H. ECKLES, Dairy De-
partment of University of Missouri)
Spoiled silage may not seem to in
jure some farm animals, but it is dam
gerous to others, and has lost much
of it's food value for all. The loss
results almost entirely from mold, and
could have been prevented, although
the only thing to do now is to study
what has happened in your silo and
learn how to do better next year.
Unless the silo was sealed or feed
ing was begun Immediately after fill
ing, from six inches to a foot at the
top is sure to be spoiled. 1t should be
put where it cannot be reached by
any farm animals. Lower down, the
presence of spoiled silage always in
dicates the presence of air, as the
molds which give it the appearance of
rotten manure could not work with
out air. The lack of sufficient water
in filling is the commonest cause of
the presence of air, but sufficient
tramping in an alright structure is
also necessary. Red mold, which
sometimes causes alarm, is no more
dangerous than the less conspicuous
forms which often pass unnoticed.

FLAVOR AND AROMA
In MAKING BUTTER
Quality Depends Largely on
Changes Made While Cream
Is in Ripening Process.

By the ripening of cream is meant
the changes it undergoes from the
time of separation until it is added to
the churn. Upon these changes de-
pends very largely the quality of but
ter as regards texture and flavor The
temperature at which cream is held
determines the frmness or texture,
while the favor is dependent upon the
by-products from the bacterial growth.
The purpose of ripening cream is
fundamentally that Of giving the but
ter the desired flavor and aroma, but
in addition it increases the ease and
efficiency of churning. Cream is rip
ened in one of two ways:
First, it sours or ripens as a result
of the action of bacteria which are
normally present in milk or cream;
or,
Second. it ripens as a result of ac-
tion of certain kinds of bacteria which
are added in what is termed start
er."

person is apt to expectorate, proved
that the bacilli in such masses on
glass are still alive after 4, but en-
tirely dead in less than hours, and
still alive in the material on wood
and muslin after s, but dead in less
than 16 hours.
The tuberculous material in thin lay
ers on glass, wood, and muslin, kept
in a dark room, was proved to con-
tain fully virulent, living tubercle ba-
cilli after 80 days. The contrast is
remarkable, tubercle bacilli of the
same kind of material, dying in a
smaller number of minutes In the sun
shine than the number of days they
remained alive in a dark room.
AS most varieties of disease germs
are more easily destroyed by germi-
cides than tubercle bacilli, and as tu-
bercle bacilli, in the thin layers in
which they are likely to adhere to
clothing, blankets, rugs, draperies,
furniture, walls, floors, etc., are killed
by the rays of the sun in less than
half an hour, though they remain alive
in dark places a month and longer, it
is reasonable to draw the following
conclusions:
(a) AS a general sanitary principle
it is desirable that all dwellings, sta
bles, ETC., should be so constructed
that an abundance of sunshine can
reach their interiors.
(b) AS a general protective meas
ure against disease germs, it is an
excellent practice to expose uten-
sils for handling milk, and milk cans
after they have been cleaned, to di-
rect sunlight, and to hang or spread
wearing apparel, blankets, bedding,
rugs, horse blankets, etc, periodically
where the sun can shine on all parts
of them.

PROPER ATTENTION
TO DAIRY UTENSILS
All Pals and Cans Should Be
Heavily Timed and Seams
Covered With Solder.

CBy P. BENNETCH, West Virginia EX-
pertinent Station.l
Ole Of the most frequent sources OF
contamination in milk lies in the i'm
proper care of utensils. All milk pals
and cans should be heavily timed and
all seams covered up with solder so
that there are no lodging places for
dirt, or crevices that are hard to clean.
Rusty utensils should never be used
in handling milk, since is is impossi-
Bile to clean them thoroughly. All
dippers, pals, strainers, cans, ETC.,
should be rinsed with cold water to
which some washing powder has been
added. In the washing process a brush
should be used rather than a cloth,
as the cloth soon absorbs the milk,
and becomes filthy. After washing,
the utensils should be rinsed thorough
ly with steaming hot water. Do not
dry them with a cloth; instead, in
cline them on clean shelf over pegs,
SO that the water will drain off read
lily. If the utensils are allowed to
drain out of doors the shelf or rack
should be at least four feet from the
ground and in a location where they
are not exposed to dust.
The Importance of the sterilizing
process, while we'll understood by most
people, is quite frequently overlooked.
While milk vessels may look perfectly
clean after having been mashed, they
may still be contaminated with bac-
terra. These bacteria can be destroyed
only by proper sterilization, such as is
obtained by exposing the vessels to
boiling temperature for some length
of time. Where only a small amount
of milk is handled steam is very often
not available and in such cases the
simplest method Of sterilizing is to
place the vessels in boiling water for
five minutes.
Every farmers wife knows the
germicidal effects of sunshine, and
takes advantage of it by placing her
fruit jars where they are exposed to
the sun. The same is true of milk
vessels, but too often they are placed
in the sun where they are also ex-
posed to dust and flies.

About half way between the Medi-
terranean and Asiatic breeds in most
characteristics are the American and
the English breeds. They are fair
layers of light brown eggs, and while
not so difficult to control as the Leg
horns, are very much more active than
the Asiatics and usually are more de-
sirable for the general farm. Good
strains of the American breeds lay
nearly as well as the Mediterraneans,
and at the same time furnish better
carcass for the home table.
The American breeds which are
common on farms are the Plymouth
Rocks, the Rhode Island Reds, and the
Wyandottes. The American breeds
which are seldom seen any more are
the Buckeyes, the Javas, and the Dom
iniques. The only English breed that
has had any large degree of popular
ity among poultry fanciers in this
country is the Orpington.
The real choice to be made in the
way of a breed for the farm, usually
lies between one of the American
breeds or the Orpingtons on the one
hand, and a Mediterranean breed on
the other. AS a general thing, the
Leghorns will probably lay more eggs
the year round than the American
breeds. The question to be decided is
whether this fact offsets the difficulty
of their control, and the fact that their
carcasses are not generally considered
so desirable.
Within the American class the
choice is largely one of personal taste.
The fact that the carcasses with light
pin feathers are being demanded more
and more by the best markets, how
ever, is having more and more influ-
ence in favor of the white and buff
varieties. On the other hand. it is
generally understood that where coy
otes are still about, the white varie-
ties are more conspicuous and more
easily picked up.
In the preparing Of eggs for market
the greatest step in advance that can
be made is in educating the farmer as
to the Importance of keeping the male
birds away from the laying flock dur
ing the summer months, so that infer
tile eggs may be produced.

HENS RELISH SPRoUTED'oATS
Make Excellent Substitute for Green
Feed During Winter-Sprouts
Are Very SuccuIent.

Green food is excellent for poultry
but it is sometimes hard to get, par
ticularly during the winter. Where
cabbage, mangels, etc., are not OBJ
tainable artifcially sprouted oats
make an excellent substitute. If prop
erly prepared it makes as good a
green food as there is. A leading au-
thority finds the following method
most successful for preparing it:
THE oats should be soaked IN wa
ter at temperature Of from so to ~
