the men in their employ, who are
members of the Progressive Union,
that, as a strike was in progress in the
workrooms OF Levy Bros, they must
agree to give up the union or be locked
out. This demand was in accordance
with the rules OF the Manufacturers
Association. The men refused to
yield and quit work. About 400
persons are now out of work IN the
three above mentioned shops. The
officers of the Progressive Union de
clare that they have left the Knights
of Labor and that they will not have
ANYTHING more to do with them. They
are very bitter against District Assem-
bIy No. 40 and the Home Club.
A committee of fifteen North Side
Street Railway conductors and drivers
waited on President Yerkes at his
office in Chicago, on the goth. They
were headed by Conductor Dryer, the
presiding officer OF their ASSOCIATION,
and they remained closeted with the
president for over an hour. The COM
mittee called for areadjustment OF the
present grading OF wages for conduct
ors and drivers. At present the men
are paid $1.5O per day for the first
two months, S1.75 for the next four
months, 50 for the ensuipgsix months
and $3.50 after that. They claim
that when a man reaches the last
grade he is generally displaced by one
of the new hands and the company is
thus able to save agood deal OF money
Mr.. Yerkes affected compromise with
the men by agreeing that the old hands
would not be discharged hereafter ex-
cspt for some good and sufficient
reason.

August Futier.

We are often told that June and Ju-
ly butter is prime when August but
ter fails; then it grows better in
September, and so on. Why is
June and July butter better than Au-
gust butter? Because the COWS have
gone out in the fresh field and havepure
grass in abundance. The flow of milk
is increased, and we readily churn
butter from it in about one-half the
time in July that IS required in the
winter time orin other seasons. This
is because of the June grass. The last
of July the feed begins to fail. June
grass has become too ripe, and some
thing else, not as good, must take its
place. The dairyman should have a
crop of winter rye, and feed that with
his corn meal, and carry 1T through
the month OF August. Cows fail in
milk more in the month of August
than In any other part Of the season.
In the month of September the cattle
are allowed to sweep over the meadows
and around the corners OF the fences
where the moving machine did not
reach. The remedy is to feed corn
meal during the month of August. 1t
would cost trifle over one cent per
pound for feed and extra trouble, but
the butter yield would be kept up. If
the rye gets too ripe before August
have a crop of clover for the cattle.
When the rye gets nicely started, cut
it with a moving machine, and sec
ond crop will soon be ready.-Dr.
Crafts, at New York State Dairymen's
AsSOcia ton.

POwderly's Assistant.

A New York correspondent writes to
the indianapolis Journal as follows:
William o. Mcdowell whose selection
by Mr.. Powderly as his assistant in
the settlement of the southwestern
strikes, and who now again comes to
the front to serve in similar capacity
IN the street-car matters in this city,
IS an interesting man. He has a pen
chant for big enterprises, rivaling in
ambition that of Col. Sellers. He is
at present manufacturer, and large
~ interested in the Sea- beach railways,
a corporation that started in q few
years ago to break the combination OF
Nightmare lines to Coney Island, went
to pieces itself instead, was reorgan-
lied after the usual fashion, and is
now doing well. Until his present APP
pearance as q labOring man, Mcdowell
has been little heard of since the time,
seven or eight years ago, when he was
captain and all hands of an associa-
ton that was to make New Jersey the
biggest state in the union, and pile up
manufactures three deep all along its
water front. The only result of the
existence of the association was an ex-
cursion which Mcdowell gave. 1t
started in a natty little steamer, went
up the Hudson to Weehawken and
down the Jersey shore to Elizabeth
port, stopping at every spot where
there was any big factory to inspect.
An elaborate luncheon, and barrels OF
New Jersey native wine on tap free,
were features of the trip. Even then,
however, Mcdowell was in conflict with
the monopolists of the railroads, for a
funny incident occurred at the Penn
sylvania railroad docks in Jersey City.
The invitation announced as one of
the attractions of the trip a visit to
the Pennsylvania's immense freight
warehouses. When the boat drew up
at the wharf Mcdowell, leading the
party off, was met by Supt. F. Wolcott
Jackson, OF the railroad, who had read
of the excursion in the papers, and
came down to see "who in thunder was
going to inspect this institution with
out permission" He ordered the
steamer away from the dock at once.
Mr.. Mcdowell protested that no disre-
spect to Mr.. Jackson's authority was
intended. Both parties waxed indig.
nant, and the excursionists lay back
and laughed at a very merry war.
Finally both men cooled off, and Mr..
Jackson not only invited the excursion
ashore, but himself piloted it through
the freight-houses and accompanied it
to the next stopping place.

matter. A dark color also adds To
the warmth, and for this reason the
black prairie soils of The West, full of
deeaylng grass roots, were long unex-
celled for corn growing. 1t is probable
that everywhere, as land becomes more
compact by long cultivation. the hest
conditions for growing corn easily will
be more infrequent. But knowing
what the corn crop requires it will not
be difficult to supply them. A clover
sod rots Immediately after being
turned under. Besides this, its roots
penetrates the soil deeply. and as soon
as severed from the top by shallow
plowlng, their decay keeps the soil
both moist and warm. Corn rarely
suffers from drouth on clover sod Il
well cultivated during the growing sea
son. There is moisture In the snbsoil
until late every season, and the deem
tap-roots of clover make it available,

Warm Land for Corn.

The corn crop needs tropical heat
for g. time to reach perfection Many
facts go to show that much of the
benefit from cultivation and manuring
for corn is due to the effect these
means have in making the soil warm.
In early spring and more frequently
the ground is stirred the morepermea-
BILE 1T Is to the entrance of the air,
which at this season is always much
warmer than the soil. In fact, pillow
ing and cultivation turn under con-
siderable air spaces together with
warmer soil on the surface. The heat
from this rises as the soil settles, thus
warming the whole. Coarse manure
helps IN the same way, and by heating
at the bottom of the burrows it con-
tlnues to warm the soil through the
season. Every farmer knows how
vigorous a growth is given to corn by
a rotting sod. This may be FASTENED
by frequent cultivation early in the
season. In this way the worse the
sod the greater the advantage OF FIRE,
quent cultivation. Good corn is thus
grown on land infested by quack grass,
the cultivation being then necessarily
performed once, and if possible twice,
q week. After rains especially on
heavy soil, the cultivation can hardly
be too frequent, providing the soil does
not pack together. Every time it is
stirred it is open to admit more warm
air: Every blade of quack grass put
under the soil helps to furnish more
warmth, and this in turn makes latent
fertility available for corn roots.
Soils for corn should be loose as
possible, and this condition is secured
wherever they are full of vegetable

Clear the WAY

For the escape from the system of its waste and
debris, which, if retained, would vitiate the bod
lily fluids and overthrow health. That import
ant channel of exit, the bowels, may be kept
permanently free from distractions byusing the
non gripping, gently acting and agreeable cathar
tic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which not only
liberates impurities, but invigorates the lining
OF the intestinal canal when weakened by con-
stipation or theunwise use of violent purgatives.
The stomach, liver and urinary organs are ike
wise reinforced and aroused to healthful action
bythis benefcent tome and corrective, and every
organ, fiber, muscle and nerve experiences a
share of it's invigoratiug influence. UnobiectOn-
able in flavor, a most genial and wholesome med
icinal stimulant, and owing its efficacy to botan-
ic sources exclusively, it is the remedy best
adapted to household use, on account OF Its
safety, wide scope and speedy action.

THE RURAL HOME.
A Plea For CheerfuIness.

The dear little wife at home, John,
With ever so much to do,
Stitches to set, and babies TO pet,
And so many thoughts OF you.
The beautiful household fairy
Filling your heart with light
Whatever you meet to-day, Jonn,
60 cheerily home tonight
For though You are worn and weary
You needn be cross or curt.
There are words like darts to gentle hearts,
There are LOOKS that wound and hurt,
With the key in the latch, at home John,
Drop troubles out OF sight,
To the dear little wife who iswaiting,
Go cheerily home tonight.
You know she will come to meet you,
A smile on her sunny face,
And your wee little girl, as sweet as pearl,
win be there in her childish grace.
And the boy, his fathers pride, John,
With the eyes so brave and bright,
From the strife and the din to the peace, John
Go cheerily home TO night.
What though the tempter try you,
Though the shafts OF adverse fate
May hustle near, and the sky be drear,
And the laegard fortune wait
You are passing rich already;
Let the haunting fears take hight,
With the faith that wins success, J Ohm,
Go cheerily home tonight

Feeding Calves.

The average boy of the farm has
had plenty OF disagreeable experience
in the feeding of calves. Fed from g.
pail in the hands of boy, the calf is
never properly fed. To feed one calf
and at the same time keep off several
others as hungry and eager as only
young animals can be, would be too
much for g. man to successfully cope
with, except that he could strike and
kick harder than the boy. Yet how
large a proportion OF the calves raised
are fed in this way? Far more than
in any other. It is not difficult, how
ever, to make all this work compare
lively easy, whether there be only
three, or four, or twenty, or more
calves.
Have proper feeding place and
erect g. line of stanchions similar to
those for large cattle, but accommo-
dated to the size of the calves. 1t
may be necessary to make the calves
enter these to be fed for two or three
times. They will soon learn that only
here can they get their food. Then,
upon the proper call being given, they
will eagerly take their places. What
ever the vessels fed from, whether OF
metal or wood, pals or troughs, they
must befxed so they cannot be pushed
about, and they must be kept perfect
ly clean and fresh.
When the calves begin to eat grass
they should, within the next two
weeks, be taught to eat few oats
daily. Thenceforward the milk ration
may be diminished as the grass and
grain is increased, but the decrease on
the one hand and the increase on the
other must be only as the paunch of
of the calf grows. The rennet or true
digestive stomach of the calf is the
larger Of the four In the full grown
animal the paunch is the largest, aud
this increase in the one case CORE
spends to the relative decrease in the
other as the animal attains age.

KNOWING Who to Kick.

ltrom the New Orleans Picayune.
The late Col. McClung OF Mississippi
once got into a dispute in the Office OF
the Prentiss House at Vicksburg with
rowdy, when, to end the matter
without further delay, he took the
rowdy by the ''nape OF the neck" led
him to the door, and kicked him into
the street. The kickee picked himself
up, walked away, and here the matter
ended. Some weeks afterward Nc
Chung was in New Orleans, and, when
walking up st. Charles Street, saw the
fellow he had kicked out OF the Prentiss
House kicking third party out OF a
drinking saloon. McClung walked up
to his old acquaintance, once kickee,
but now the kicker, and scanning him
closely, said:
Look here, my fine fellow, are you
not the man | kicked out of the Prem
tiss House the other day ?"
"Softly, softly, colonel" replied the
rowdy, taking McClung by the arm,
"don't mention it-Pm the man-but
-but-you and / know who to kick"
