It seems that some people never viii

experience. Our agricultural societies

other topics upon which knowledge is
most required, yet right in the face of

the beautiful lots of Mr.. Howard Rath-

row of box elder trees set out for street
trees, of all our native trees one of the
nearest worthless for this purpose. And
as correct and careful a business
man as L. Severy has gone
and done a similar foolish thing. This

purposes, but Of little or more value for
street use than stock of corn. In five

and come to put in permanent hard
wooded trees, they will in my Judgment
give some heed to the teachings of those
experienced in this matter. The teach
ings of this society have been to set elm

"fillus' until the permanent trees, ge
well under way, but the soft unreliable
box elder, has never been recommended

STRIKES.

1t seems to US there ought not now
to he strikes by the workmen in any
branch Of manufacturing, and yet we
read of them every day. We are inclin-
ed to think the manufacturers are to
blame for the disagreements which now
exist MS to wages for workmen. In eve
nv branch of business the prices on man
ufactured goods have been advanced, on
many articles very heavily, and
the proprietors of factories who
ask their laborcrs TO work at the same
wages as during the dull times are very
mean and selfish, and an injury to the
industrial interests of the country. One
of the latest strikes is that of 500 iron
workers at St. Louis. The advance IN
iron and articles manufactured from il
is so heavy that in this branch of indus
try. above all others, with the supply far
below the demand, it seems ridiculous
that manufacturers should hesitate tC
pay decent wages for lsbor. We believe
in the majority of cases in the past few
years, strikes were led by demagogues
and were only injuriousto all parties, bu
there are cases when submission on tho
part of workmen is dishonorable.
would seem that strikes at this tim
must be blamed to manufacturers in mos
