Davis Gets Sentimental.

Finally Davis, who tried to become
sentimental over the fact that he once
worked as a puddIer in a steel mill
and after displaying some nickel
plated tools that he is alleged to have
used at one time, revealed the bosses
offer. He denied that the proposals
were drawn up by the department of
labor and stated that his Office had to
exert pressure to bear upon the mill
owners to get them to agree to the
proposal, the first clause of which
degreed that the workers return to
work under their old scale and that
The employers make settlements with
he workers in their own mills.
Hugh Kerwin, who was in the room,
when asked what sort of agreement
were meant said it might be BY
groups in the mills or thru individual
agreements. Knowing full well that
such a proposition meant the wreck
ing of the union, this bureaucrat made
the proposal with a straight face, to
which Davis nodded approval.

The spokesman foS the mill own

Colonel A. F. II. Johnson OF the Bo-

Davis he had to practically bludgeon
johnson into agreeing to the proposal,
which if put into effect would have
meant the destruction of the union in
Passaic. Among other proposals
Johnson agreed to was one that Albert
Weisbord and the United Front Com
mittee be completely ignored and that
only actual workers in the mills deal
with the bosses. This was calculated

Cornell rule, viz. two teaspoonfuls of
oil daily to each 100 chicks, increas-
ing the amount by one teaspoonful
each two weeks until four teaspoon
fuls are given, and feeding It up to
six or eight weeks. II large quantities
of mash are to be prepared, the oil
may be sprinkled or sprayed upon 1t

is best not to prepare the mash for

WASHED EGGS ARE

That the Old-faehioned practice OF reg

eumulated for setting apparently has
very little effect upon the hatchability
Of the eggs has been demonstrated By
experiments at South Dakota State
college, according to @. L. Stevenson,
head OF the department OF poultry
husbandry. Experiments have also
demonstrated the importance Of using
only clean eggs for Matching, and that
even If clean eggs are used they should
DOT be held more than ten or twelve
days before being set.
These results were obtained IN an
experiment carried on for the first
time last spring. The experiments

eggs and dirty eggs. The clean
