The Supreme Court upheld the federal white slave act but narrowly construed it, ruling a Chicago indictment against Charles Wilson and Kathleen Wilson for transporting two women from Milwaukee to Evanston could not stand because the travel occurred on a railroad not regulated by the interstate commerce commission.

SELECT HENS FOR BREEDING FOR NEXT SEASON
Guidance on selecting breeder hens early by observing pullets that mature quickly and return to laying after molt. Regularly inspect the hen house and identify frequent layers without band checks. Sell surplus poultry now while mature birds reveal good traits, reserving only the top breeders for next season.
Poultry Housing and Milk Production Notes
Build a small colony house on 2x8 runners and haul it into the orchard, fencing it in. Fifteen to twenty five hens will lay more eggs during hatching season than a farmer’s wife can handle. Milk richness lists Jersey first at 5.55 percent butterfat, then Guernsey 5.26, Devon 4.06, Shorthorn 4.04, Ayrshire 3.66, Holstein 3.42, with inverse relation to quantity. Good tools speed work. provide a scratching shed near sleeping quarters.
