A reader of tbtse notes living near Palmyra, 111., writes stating that be baa a fire acre tract of bottom ground a black sandy loam wbicb never packs wbicb produces orns talks big enough to yield 100 bushels per acre, but from which be is able to busk only fifty bushels. He further states that the tract has been cultivated about six years. Is always well tended and kept free from weeds. He would like to know wbst this condition of things low yield from apparently rich land would Indicate that the soil lack ed. Wltb set eral Important pelnts not stated In our friend's letter, it is a bit difficult to glre sn adequate diagnosis. Ilowerer. there sre two or three suggestions which may be helpful. In the first place It is well to remember that while we have quite a habit of associating richness of soil wltb a black color, there is not necessarily any connection whatever. In fart nome of the richest soils known sre red and green gray, the latter the volcanic ash of western states. Another point that it la well to take account of is that a sandy soli loses Its fertilizing elements much sooner than Uo clay soils or these referred to. This bring us to the probable cause of our friend's tract falling to yield as much corn as be would like namely, a lack of fertilizer. We would suggest that be do little experimenting with this tract next season and would like him to report the results. Let blmpply about eight tons of manure per acre to two acres with a manure spreader, which will Insure even distribution; on an acre and a half apply the same amount of manure and about three tons of ground limestone per sere, which may be scattered with the manure, and on the remaining ncre and a half he might apply the mfiestone alone. While our correspondent says nothing to indicate that this tract Is sour, be says nothing which shows that It might not be. In the spring let him give these three tracts tbe same preparation, plant them with seed which will give an average of three and a half stalks per bill, and at busking time let him keep accurate count of the number of bushels which eacb produces. " He will have conducted a very practical experiment, can tell definitely Just wbst tbe soil most needs and . will not only have Instruction for himself, but" for bis neighbors, and for tbe readers of this department. If he will furnish a statement of acre yields for tbe tbreo tracts. There are hosts of farmers all through the corn belt who ought to be carrying on Just such experimental 'work as that outlined above. It is simple and tbe result would be Increased yields and a larger bank account. A DURABLE WHITEWASH. With need arising for whitewash at all times of rear, some of our readers may be glad to have published again tbe recipe for makiug whitewash recommended by the department of agriculture at Washington. It is as follows: Take one-hulf bushel unslacked lime and slack, starting with warm water, and cover during process to keep in tbe steam. Strain liquid through fine sieve or strainer; add peck of salt previously well dissolved In water, also three pounds of rice boiled to a thin paste. Stir in boiling hot one pound Spanish whiting and one pound of glue which has been previously dissolved over a slow fire. Then add live gallons of hot water to the mixture, stir well and let stand for few days covered so as to keep out the dirt. The whitewash Is best applied with a small brush ond should be put on hot. One pint should be sufficient to cover a squsre yard of surface. There is no whitewash which excel Is this for indoor or outdoor use. It may be colored whatever sb.tdtt oue likes and will retalu its biilliaLcy for yean. A NEW DEAL. When a scheming manufacturer could take a quart of molasses and fifty gallons of rainwater and make a barrel of "pure cider vinegar" there was mighty little" Incentive for the orchard owner to go through the labo- , rtous process of pressing tbe Juice from his cull apples. Rut this state of affairs has changed. Uncle Sara has got after food adulterators wltb a big tick, and now nothing but the fermented Jntce of apples can be labeled pure elder vinegar." The better condition should give a decided impetus to the manufacture of pure vinegar, while It should also greatly stimulate the manufacture of pure Jellies and other preserves, as the nasty coal tar concoctions which used to be palmed off on an unsuspecting public no longer go. Tbe pure food law has put all of this trash out of the running, and both consumers and manufacturers of legitimate goods will be the better for It r It Is surprising bow soon the young calves will take to eating 'whole corn and oats. A small ration fed daily Is s an excellent Idea and will keep them growing from the start. Tbe old lsIj- who explained the thinness of her milk to her customers by saying It was due to scarcity of feed prwbubty did not know that it is a well known fact that milk quality, butter fat content, is tot affected at all by feed. Nine dollars seems tike a cool deal to pay for mosquito netting fj jrotivt single cherry tree from the Mrda, un.l yet when the value of a single crvp from tbe tree frequently totals $50 audi tbe Betting lasts for several seasons tha sad is seen to Justify the. means. There are few of tbe tender white roasa that surpass the Fran Karl Droav kl ts parity of color, fragrance or form. In slab, too. It la an that could ba desired. Like other members of fha rose family It requires for best results a clayey rich soil, abundant water and stvare.catttnj, which .wltf

the Farmers

allow' the best buC uy'- to come to maturity. . A facf thst the professional politi cian seem slow in tumbling to is that present dsy agriculturists are not only taking an interest in manure spread ers, road drags and tbe like aa aids to a better type of farming, but are waxing up to tue tact tnat me system of primary elections is a very effective means of getting them out of tbe rut In which they bsve been going politi cally. - v. ' More and more are sensible men who pay out money doing so by means of a check drawn on their account at the bank. With tbe date and amount of the payment -indicated on the check stub, together, with tbe service or com modity for which tbe check was given. there Is no possibility that an account paid In tbls way will have to be paid a second time, the signature of the one In whose favor the check Is drawn be ing a very effective receipt. Of course the use of a check book presupposes a bank account, which Is another good thing for a fellow to hare at bis disposal. We usually think of conservation of resources in .connection with forest, water powers, etc.. yet there is a more modest way In which tbe principle can be applied by the Individual - in hia everyday work. Many a. housewife In doing ber sweeping and some other forms of work expends much more energy than Is really necessary, while In hoeing many a man uses more force than he ueeds to do tbe work In band, and especially is tbls true if bis hoe Is dull. Where one Is at a Job but a few minutes tbe question of an expenditure of extra force is not so vital, but where bis labor extends over hours tbe matter becomes one of real Importance. An interesting fnct has been noted by many un orobardist the past few months, and that Is tbe purple color which was early taken ou by so many varieties of apples which are a pure green or yellow at harvest. The writer has noted the same tendency on bis own runcb in tbe case of the Newtown Pippin. Yellow Transparent and White Winter Tea rma in. Tbe coloring referred to seems to hare been caused by cool nights, followed by warm days, and those who have made a careful study of tbe coloring referred to assert that the purple color not only enables tbe small apples to-withstand more degrees of cold than fruit not colored, but that It more readily absorbs tbe heat of the sun. resulting In better growth and larger size. Tbe introduction of some of the European pheasants into certain sections of tbls country adjacent to agricultural land does not seem to be proving an unmixed boon. We noted recently the case of an Indiana Partner who reported that the pheasants got so tame that tbey cauie into bis feed yards and not only scrapped with but licked bis roosters and turkey gobblers, tbe flock of pheasants eating the grain scattered for tbe tame fowls, in some sections of New York these birds have grown so numerous that tbey raid tbe truck gardens, digging up newly set cabbage plants, eat newly sprouted corn and peck boles in cucumbers and muskmelons. It Is true tbe pheasants consume some weed seeds and a few potato bugs, but It seems to be the verdict of those who have seen most of tbe birds that they do more barm than food. It Is Just as Impossible to maintain soil fertility when one keeps remov lng it in raw crops and returning nothing in the way of fertilizers, aa it is to keep a fellow's bank account if be keeps checking from It continually, and makes no deposits; and It is high time a squad of poll tillers awoke to tbe truth of this fact. Tbe land that Is continually cropped to corn, cotton, small grain, fruit or vegetables, and la not replenished with manures, artificial fertilizers or by the growing of legumes is doomed to ultimate exhaustion, and depletion to tbe point where tbe crop returns will not pay tbe taxes. Tbore are thousands of farms which are beaded straight In this direction located in states whose virgin soil was tbe richest and most prodigal tbe sun. ever sbone upon, and tbey will arrive at tbe condition referred to unless tbe owners repent of their evil ways and adopt more enlightened and rational agricultural methods. New York already has ber "abandoned farms." but It won't be many years. If present methods sre continued, until Ohio. Indians and Illinois will have theirs too. The term "dalr; lux" is not pfopenj sppUed to the keeping of cows wbicb fall to or Just barely pay their year's board bill with the proceeds realized from the sale of their mllb and cream. In a very true sense tbey should 1 viewed as manure manufactories, and the keeping of them the "fertilizerbusiness. Wltb graham flour in tbe average market costing only about flve-sev-entha of that asked for patent white flours, it is not only preferable from the standpoint of economy, but because It possesses a larger per cent- of protein, phosphorous and other mineral, elements, necessary In building bone and muscle and nerve. Several of the ailments to which young calves and pigs are subject might be lessened measurably If tbe pu:!s and troughs from which tbey drink were given an occasional scrubbing out nnd scalding with hot water. AH the ailments referred to are, of bacterial origin, and the treatment referred to would tend to hold these pest la check. Ropy milk. C!w often noticed In winter thau f-'iu-jr is the result of dust or filth which vets Into the milk after It la drawn from the cow. It has been shown that tbe trouble can be entirely overcome by cleaning the cows thoroughly before eacb milking and by resaovlnr anv dnstv litter t. aeath the cows, by .stralnjngtb mTjjk

througn ciean eioms into ciean cans and cooling at once. In short, to prevent ropy milk clean and sanitary sta

ble conditions are necessary. An orcbardist who recently reported bis experience in a horticultural papejr bas bad very satisfactory results wltb bens as insect destroyers in his orchard. . At tbe time when tbe curculio was busiest be made a practice of scattering small grain in litter under bis plum and apple trees, and while the hens were busy scratching be would jar tbe trees so as to cause tbe Insects to fall to tbe grounds where tbe ben would get them. Up reports bis fruit almost entirely free from curculio damage as a result of following this simple plan. The following simple recipe for the preserving of corn and string beans has been given before in these notes, but since coru and bean arc on tap again this season as usual it is worth repeating: Boil corn on ear for about fifteen minutes until milk is set. cut and scrape from cob and mix thoroughly with salt at the rate of four parts torn to one of salt. Put In clean scalded stone jar and cover with cloth nnd plate as in case of salted cucumbers. The same recipe works with string beans, wbicb should be cooked until tender and mixed wltb wait as nlxtve. One lady reader who tried this reviiw for corn last season lost her supply because sbe put the salt and corn In layers Instead of mixing before packing down. Egg statistics for . the year 1509 show that tbe farm value of the egg production of the country was $300.000.000. while their value measured in prices paid by the consumer was $540.000.000. This shows that the cost of transportation, storage and selling was $240,000,000. or 80 per cent of the total amount received by the original egg producers. The American poultrymen might well follow tbe plan of the Danish farmers, who have formed associations for the transportation, storage and handling of their eggs, so that tbey are put on tbe English markets in tbe freshest possible condition and at a figure which enables them to meet all competition, yet gives to tbe Danish poultryman a very satisfactory profit With prices for fruit land in many sections of the west reaching a level which makes Jbe purchase of It well nigh Impossible for tbe person of limited means tbe writer believes that there are districts in Wisconsin. Michigan. Indiana. Missouri. Arkansas, Virginia and othfr states wbicb might well bo Investigated by those desirous of going Into tbe orchard business. It is true that in some of the states mentioned only small fruits and hardy varieties of fall apples, like the Wealthy, could be grown, but the growing of these fruits and marketing them in attractive fashion could be made very profitable. In several of tbe states mentioned stump lands can be bought st from $20 to $50 per acre which are composed of fat soils, rich in bumus and Ideally aulted to fruit growing. If clearing tbe land of stumps is undertaken in a businesslike and effective manner tbe cost of clearing per acre need not be excessive. Another point In favor of growing fruit In a number of the sections referred to is tbe fact th:-' markets are near at band, wbicb pr.. . nts transportation companiesfrom absorbing so large a portion of tbe gross

News of Interest to Labor

In every respect in wbicb the injunction is issued against the working people, it is based upon tbe assumption that there is some form of property right which tbe employer or business man bas in the labor or tbe patronage of worklngmen. so as to make tbe conduct of tbe business profitable. Upon no other premise 1s it possible that tbe Injunctions about which labor complains are obtained. If there be any allegation of violation of law, either criminal or civil, there Is u ample. labor insists should be Invoked. The writ of iujuuctloti was intended to be exercised for the protection of proHrty rights only. Lie v.-bo would seek its uld in equity must do equity aud must come iutu court with cleau hands. It tuust uever be used to curtail personal rights, it must uot he used ever in an effort to puulsh crime. There must be uo ether adequate remedy at law. It must not be used as a means to set aside tri::l by jury, injunctions as issued against workmen are never used or issued against any other citizen of our couutry. It is an attempt to deprive citizens of our couutry. when these-cltizeus are workmeu. of the right of trial by Jury. It is an effort to fasten an offense on f hem when thev are innocent of anv ! unlawful or Illegal act. It is nu indi - rect assertion of a property right In men when, these men are workmen engaged In a lawful effort to protect or advance their natural rights. Injunctions as Issued iu labor disputes are to make outlaws of men when tbey are not even charged with doing things in violation of any law of state or natiou. The injunctions which tbe courts issue agaiust labor are supposed by them to be good enough law today, when there exists u dispute between workmen and their employers; but It is not good law in fact, is not law at all tomorrow or next day when no such labor dispute exists. Tbe issuance of injunctions in labor disputes is uot baseJ upon law, but is a species of judicial legislation, judicial usurpation, in the -interests of tbe money power against workmen innocent of any unlawful or criminal act. The doiug of the lawful acts eujolued by the courts renders the workmen guilty of contempt of court, and punishable by tine or Imprisonment, or both, lu all things In which workmeu are eujolued by the process of an injunction during labor disputes il those acts are criniiuaK or unlawful, there is now ample law und remedy covering tbeui. From the logic of this there is uo escape. No act is legally a crime unless there is a law designating it and specifying it to be u crime. No act is unlawful un'ess there is a law on the statute books designating and specifying it to be unlawful. Ileuce. it follows that no act is criminal or unlawful unless there is a law prohibiting its commission. We assert that labor asks no immunity for any of its men who may be guilty of any criminal or unlawful act. it Insists upon tbe workers being regarded and treated as equals before tbe law with every other citizen; that if any act be committed by any one of our number, rendering bim amenable to the law. he shall be prosecuted by tbe ordinary forms of law and by tbe

Tbe Injunction process, as applied to men eugaged in dispute with employers.

Ijibor protests agaiust the issuance of tujutu-tiou iu disputes between workmen aud employers where no such Injunctions would be Issued in the absence of such disputes. Such luj mictions have no wurraut in law and are the result of judicial usurpation and judicial legislation rather than of congressional legislation. Labor protests against tne discrimination of the courts against the laboring men of our country which deprives them of their constitutional guaranty of equality before the" law. The Injunctions against which we protest are flagrantly und without warrant of law issued almost dally lu some section of our country and are violative of tbe fundamental rights of man.
