TWELVE THOUSAND SPINNERs.
General Strike In the Fall River Mills
Thought TO he Unavoidable.

FALL RIVER, Mass, June l2.-There is
every prospect OF an immediate strike OF spin-
ners in all OF the mills here. This will compel
the stopping Of the mills and result in throw
ing out OF employment - 900 persons. and the
suspension Of payrolls to the amount OF nearly
900 900 per month.
In April. 1878. the pay OF operatives was cut
down Is per cent. the manufacturers then
promising 10 restore the prices whenever tho
prices of cotton ana manufactured goods were
so adjusted relatively that they were warranted
IN doing so. About two months ago the Spin
ners' Union. the only trades union among the
operatives here. having considered that the ad-
vance IN manufactured goods had SO far in
creased over the price OF cotton as to make the
manufacture largely profitable made de-
mnnd for the restoration. This was declined
positively by the manufacturers. The next
step on the part OF the spinners was the pas
sage OF resolution TO strike. but some Of the
more conservative leaders. hoping still for m

ploycrs asking for three disinterested arbi-
traitors to adjust the difficulty between them.

disputes between employer and employee

Ignorant. or Lazy ]

A correspondent who does not send his
name, or add any signature to MS artlcie'
but whom we suspect TO be cur friend f.
b. of Moretown, sends US the follow
ing, under the above heading;
Very much is written, these days
about the Ignorant Farmer. IL really
seems that the writers believe mat IL
certain amount of science could be got IN
to the noodles of the farmers, agriculture
would soon attain a perfection never yet
known. As valuable as knowledge IS, as
essential as science is to agriculture, there
are greater difficulties in the way OF sue
cessful farming than not knowing now. II
every farmer put into practice what he az
ready knows, our farms would snow dll-
ferent state of culture.
THE average farmer knows how TO
raise good crop of corn or wheat; ne
knows how to improve his grass lands. lie
knows that manure, to be valuable. must
be housed. lie will, in short tell all how
farming should be done, yet not one IN
hundred put into practice the knowledge
they possess. They design to do it some
time, but have not got around to do II
yet.
E" If this be so, il is laziness, or shlflless-
ness, and not ignorance, that lmpuverlshes
our farms and causes such cry about hard
times. The farmer, if he expects to sue
coed, must make up his mind that he has
got to take off his coat and go to work
That saying is as true to-day as when it
was written, that

Fun WITH A SPIDER.-Spilers have

lhem' A writer in the Christian NeUs
tells of the fun he had with a spider:
One day had been reading in a book
how spiders managed to get their webs
across streams and roads. and from the ton
OF one tall tree to another. went out and
caught large garden spider, one of those
n!ue-gray, sprawling fellows, and fixed
nm up for my experiment. took n sti, !,
about eighteen inches in length, and fast
ened piece of iron to one end of if 81
mat the stick would stand on that end of
itself. Then put this in the center of n
large tub half full of water, and placed the
spider on the top of the stick. | wanted
TO see If it could get to LAND" which was
the edge of the tub, without any help.
lie ran down first on one side of tho
tub, then on the other; each time he would
stop when he touched the water. and
shaking his foot MS the cat Does he would
run up again. At last he came 10 the con-
cleslon that he was entirely surrounded nv
water'-on an island, in fact. After re-
naming perfectly quiet for long while.
during. which, l have no doubt, he was
arranging his plans, he began RUNNING
around the top of the stick, and tbrowin9
out great coils of web with his hind feet
In few minutes little fine strings of web
were floating away in the light breeze that
was blowing. ''i"'
After little, one of these threads
touched the edge of the tub and stuck fast
as all spider webs will do. This was inst
what Mr., Spider was looking for, and The
next minute he took hold Of his web and
gave it jerk as sailor does with a rome
when he wishes to see how strong it il or

that 1t was fast at the other end, he oath.

Eight inches of well pulverized, rich,
mellow. top soil is pretty good standard
to aim for on most farms-quite as much
as we have manure for; but in order to
reach the eighth inch, with common
plough, l have found great help in the
steel subsoil plough, without mouldboard.
a plough which simply loosens the under
soil without bringing It TO the surface. 1t
can be drawn in old ground as easily as a
common, large sized plough in sod land.
A hard, gravelly loan, previously plough
ed but four or five inches deep. with an
under stratum as hard as road-bed. will
never forget one good stirring with one of
these steel subsoil ploughs. In my own
practice, | aim to plough not less than
eight honestly measured inches in depth.
To turn flat furrow at this depth, the
width should be from fourteen to sixteen
inches. Such ploughing gives ample room
for the travel of the team in the burrows;
it gives fine material in which the harrow
or cultivator can afterwards work without
disturbing the buried sod.

Miss Rosetta Rice communicates to the
PrdcticaJ Farmer statement of her sue
cessful experience in keeping butter: For
the thirty-five pounds put down in rolls
wrapped in thin muslin, she made u brine
so strong with salt that it will float an egg.
Into this is put one pound of brown sugar
and one.tourth of Il pound of saltpetre: let
it come to Il boil, skim WELL and when
cold pour it over the bntter, which is kept
in IL clean, well scalded oaken cask made
for that purpose. Miss Rice adds: the last
roll of butter, which will be used in March,
will be as fresh and sweet as this is now
My neighbor puts down her butter on II
different plan altogether She packs hers
in gallon crooks, and then puts on layer
of salt about two inches thick She boots
ut me- and thinks my way is not half so
nice MS hers. Now, any woman will see
the difference in appearance of the slice of
butter on my neighbours plate and mine.
OF course, her way is good, but think my
way is preferable. The slice on my plate
will be clean and whole and dewy; hers
broken and uneven, with bits of salt stick
ing to it. "-IriJunc.

TIE LADY GRAPE.-We have n single
vine of the Lady Grape. 1t fuited the
past summer for the first time. If we
were to Judge Of all Lady Grapes by this,
we should pronounce it, so far as our
knowledge extends, as the best white
grape in cultivation. The vine is as Wig
orous as its parent, the Concord-the
punches and berries of medium size, the
color that of pea or of any green grape
just before it begins TO ripen. The taste
is nearly that of the Concord, yet there is
a difference in its favor that enables one
to cat first one and then the other and to
determine which is which with his eyes
shut. They ripen during the latter days

5trate that cobs were the most valuable
feed known to farmers, but simply that
they were worth feeding.
But, we can make WIS figures read a
letter differently, The cobs did cost some
over two dollars, the grinding cost eight
dollars, and two dollars would amply COW
err the cost of hauling, as they were
shoveled into casks and barrels. This
would bring the total cost $1,000. Then
hay was twenty dollars per ton-fOr it
was scarce, bran was unheard of rs feed,
and corn we don't remember the price of.
So rs then situated we believe the invest
ment a good one.
We would call WIS attention to anoth-
er article II week Or two later on the same
subject, in which an analysis of cobs is
given.

Corn CObS.

Mr.. EDIToR:-ln u recent number of
the Montpelier MESSENGER | saw an
article on the value of cobs as feed for cat
tie, in which you gave your own exper-
fence or that of your father in feeding 200
bushels of cobs. The cost of these cobs
was the value of the corn remaining on
them, that being only one pint to the
bushel, or about bushels of corn.
Now as you gave no account of what
your cob meal cost, let us make an esti-
mate. and see if it was really valuable
feed for the price:
Cost Of 200 bushels cobs 400
Bagging and carting to and from mills if at any
considerable distance. 600
Grinding the Il 90
The price charged for grinding cobs is
little higher than the usual rates for corn
Not knowing the standard weight of
cobs, was obliged to weigh some, and
found it to be II lbs, 10 the bushel. We
have. then, 2200 lbs. Of cob meal at cost
of $1,000. This would buy either two
tons of hay so bushels of oats, a ton of
bran, or 1900 lbs, of corn meal; and
either of these, for me TO feed, or, | am
sure. if left to the taste of the animals fed,
would be much preferable to the cob meal.
