The new rules become effective De-

approximately 100000 men immedi-

traffic conditions are restored
Far reaching changes in the rules,
which supplant the national agree

were designed to afford basis for
permanent stability in the railroad
shops of the country and were de-
clared by members of the labor board
to be the most important work yet
done by the board and of much
greater significance than any decision
in the past, even including wage scale
adjustments.
Large Economies Expected.
Large economies are expected to
result from revision of the classified

elastic, and hereafter will permit
members of certain crafts to do minor
jobs previously done by members Of
other crafts.

Quoted as n special business on a large

from the general farms, usually over

On farms where there is plenty of

raised successfully in small tlocks. A
natural supply of water is, of course,
essential. The birds are very hardy,

BARK OF TREE NOT WOOD
Scientist Corrects an impression
Which Has Long Been More or
Less Widely Held.

Bark on trees and shrubs cOrre-
spends with the skin on animals. But
it isn't wood, according TO one scien-
tist, and it isn't formed as wood is
formed. 1t covers the wood. and ii is
generally an easy matter TO separate
the bark from the wood. Hemp and
jute and fax are all bark-the outside
covering of certain vegetable grOwths.
Bark is composed of three layers of
tissue. The inside layer conducts food
to the plant, and under a magnifying
glass is seen 10 be made up of tiny
fibers. Then there is the green zone"
as il is called. and this also is fibrOuS
and helps feed the plant The out
side layer is cork, and is really dead.
That is, these cork cells develop and
die Immediately, so one really sees
only q dead tree when he looks at the
bark. The cork of commerce is the
bark of a certain kind Of tropical tree,
but the outer layer of bark of all trees
Is technically known as cork, and the
little cells going to make it up are
called cork.

CONDITIONING BIRDS
FOR POULTRY SHOWS
Stand Better Chances for VIM
ming if Well Trained.
Poultry Specialists Of United States
Department of Agriculture Give
Suggestions for Prepara-
ton of Fowls.

Although the larger poultry shows
hibitions are staged throughout the
winter months. The following advice
in training and conditioning birds pre-
vious TO a show. given by poultry spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is good the whole
year round. The bird that has been
properly trained and prepared will
stand better chance every time Of
winning a prize than another bird
equally good. but wild or easily fright
ened, or whose plumage is soiled or
dirty.
After the birds are selected. remove
them from the rest of the flock and
place each bird in an exhibition coop
for at least part of each day. Fowls
so confined will become accustomed To
the coop. Handling them-that is, re-
moving them from the coop each day
Will have the effect of making them
tame. In handling the birds and re-
moving and returning them TO and
die the birds gently SO as not 10
frighten them.
Examine the piumage so that the
fowl will become accustomed to such
movements when being handled by the
Judge. Likewise, attempt TO compose
the bird by smoothing and stroking the
wattleS gently; this seems to have a
soothing effect on the fowls, and when
done frequently and properly they
come to look for IL when one approach
es the coop.
Birds TO be exhibited should not be
confined TO the exhibition cOOps for too
great period. as long. continuous
cooping may cause them to get out of
condition and therefore unfit for show.
A satisfactory plan is to cOnfine the
birds for part of each day or every
other day alternately up TO a few days
before sending them to the show, when
they should be confined until ready to
ship.

MISTAKE IN THE LOCATION
Despite Walters Assertion, Traveller
Was Convinced They Were In
the Wrong Room.

The late William Dean HOwells was
very fond of travelling in Spain. He
once said on his return from Anda-
tUSia:
"The Spaniards. especially the
southern Spaniards. have enormous
families. Eight children is the aver
age. and families of rs and IL chill
dren are quiet common.
But they don't know how to raise
these children. They take babies Of
three or four months travelling with
them. In every hotel and train there
are sure to be as many babies as
adults.

Malaga waiter into the lofty marble
and bronze restaurant Of sumptuOns

with babies.

TANNING MILL VERY USEFUL
Present High Price of Grain Should
Bring Machine Into More Use
on Stormy Days.

In many parts of the country there
has been tendency TO let the tanning
mill rest and rust and gather dust and
the grain, paying the bill by accepting
a low price for the uncleaned wheat
or oats or barley. Besides, the chick
ems lose the screenings. The present
high price of grain should bring many
n neglected tanning mill into profta-
bic use. Incidentally, farmers will
have profitable work for stormy days,
and much cheap feed for chickens,
pigs and other animals.

EASY TO WINTER FALL PIGS
Where Farmer Is Properly Equipped
He Can Raise Young Animals
Without Difficulty.

More fall pigs are being raised now
adays than was the case a few years
ago. This is due largely TO the fact
that grain is relatively high-priced.
When a man is properly equipped for
taking care of fall pigs through the
winter season he can raise them about
as cheaply as he can spring pigs and
he gets more out of his sow by breed
ing her twice year than only once.
1t is not difficult TO winter fall pigs
If one gives the matter proper atten-
tion.

ROTTEN EGG is UNDESIRABL &
Many Farmers Do Not Seem to Care
or Bother About Clean Nests for
the Layers.

No one likes a rotten egg. conse-

not even the commission dealer. Many
farmers do not care whether their hens
steal their nests or not and do not
bother to hunt for the eggs until mar
ket day comes around. Once a week

looked for. Any eggs that have come
from an old nest or that in any way
look suspicious should be candled at

Detailed Instructions.

The United States Department Of
Agriculture has Just issued Farmers
Bulletin 112S, entitled Farm Inven-
tories" in which are given detailed in
structions for making an inventory of
farm property and revising such list
from year to year. BY using the single
system described in this bulletin any
farmer can determine exactly his
financial status and lay the foundation
for a permanent system of accounting
Without the farm inventory as basis
no system of accounting that might
be chosen would be of any great use
to the farmer
