employers. The decision handed down by
the chairman, Judge Julian Mack, OF
Chicago, provides for distribution OF
$3.50 900 in increased salaries TO 10000
operatives In the industry
The most important point on which
the union lost was the boards decision
that the minimum working week shall
consist of forty-nine hours, instead OF
fortv-eight, as asked by the workers.
Although Judge Mack, who recently
succeeded L. d. Brandeis as chairman,
was not present at the hearings, no

quired more consideration. The wages
for time workers, he announced. would
be determined on an hourly, and not
weekly, basis.
A minimum wage of $3.50 week IS
established for full-fedged cutters
who now receive s25 week. Those
who pass the examination for full
Aedged cutters shall for one year re
ceive minimum Of S25, after when
they shall be paid the regular mini

START FOR WINTER LAYERS
Early Pullets Should Be in Wealth
er Quarters Some Weeks Before
They Begin to Lay.

The cold weather will soon be mere
again, so now is the time to get every
thing ready for wintering the laying
stock. April and May pullets Will
start to lay about the first of Novem-
ber. or even sooner, and they should
be In their winter quarters several
weeks before they start to lay.
The most important thing, and the
one most frequently neglected by the
average farmer, Is to have the win
ter quarters properly cleaned and dis
infected. After being thoroughly
cleaned out they should be white
washed. The whitewash is best
made from fresh lime and applied
while hot with spray motor or force
pump. About @ or 8 per cent of crude
carbolic acid is added to the wash,
also u small pail of buttermilk added
TO each barrelful makes II stick bet
ter. Everything movable in the house
should be taken out and dlsinfected.
When fresh straw or shavings is
put into the nests and fresh litter on
the floor, the house Is perfectly clean
and healthful for the reception of win
ter layers.
1t has been believed by many poul-
trymen, and investigations seem to
bear out the belief. that hens which
molt late are better winter layers
than those which molt early. Those
hens which molted in August and
are now starting or have started to
lay, are likely to stop again when
the cold weather sets in. SO now is
the time to pick out the hens to keep
over winter.
All males should be kept separate
from the females until breeding sea-
son opens, as 1t gives them a better
chance to produce vigorous stock
when It is wanted.
