FOR THE FARM AND HONE.
save the straw.

While American and English agrieul-
tural writers have been for many years
emphasizing the importance of keeping
the straw of our grains upon the farm,
there has not yet been enough said to i'm
press upon many of our farmers its manu-
rial value, and they still look upon it rs
a piece of good fortune il they are able
to dispose of their straw for cash. The
return is indisputably more speedy, but
unless good round price is realized,
whereby you can buy back the elements
in the straw for less than you sold them,
it is not the fortunate speculation it may
appear. Better pillow the straw into the
field than sell it for any small or merely
nominal sum; but the best use for it is
as bedding for stock, where it acts partly
as an absorbent. Grains aro rapacious
eaters, feeding on minerals of the soil and
nitrogen. Analysis have shown the
straw of Winter wheat to contain lis
per cent. of potash; of soda, 20; magnc-
STA, &c; lime, GO, to say nothing of the
phosphoric and sulphuric acids. An
alysis of Winter rye straw give 1877 per
cent of potash; of soda, 3.3; magnesia,
81; lime, ~, besides phosphoric End
nitric acids. Thes, arc sufficient to con-
clusively show that the straw Of grains
possesses elements of plant food that VIC
can ill afford to lose. - Cultirator.

worker for Cleveland during the campaign of

went to them with the request that

vail it would be the ruin OF the iron business
The intensity of his devotion to the iron bust

more OF an iron man than Democrat. Some

CHICAGO, Oct 1.-The question of a settle
ment of the existing labor difficulties at the
stockyards on a compromise is becoming thing
of the past There is to be no compromise. Any
concession must be made by the men. They
must labor ten hours for ten hours pay, or they
cannot work at all. There seems to be no other
way to adjust the difficulty. Prominent packers
says they will not submit to any system but that
of ten hours. It must be an unconditional
surrender or the part of the men, or nothing.
The paSkers say they furish the money to rnn
this industry, and do not want the men they are
supporting to dictate terms The men. they say,
have been running the business for the past six
months, and now they 1.-THE packers) propose to
run it. prominent packer said to-day:
AT a meeting of the association. the other day,
l told our members that if we proposed to allow
the men to dictate to US, it was time to close up
and sell out"
The packers are securing men to take the
places of the strikers, and it is stated that Ar
mour's, Fowler's and some other houses will be
able to start up next week. The packers are
united, and from all appearances are determined
to carry their point.
Delegate Barry, Of the Knights of Labor. said
to-day that if Armour any other packer at
tempts TO start up with imported men the
Knights would boycott his goods. "There is no
class of goods" he said, 'that can be so quickly
affected. The trade mark that is now worth
millions will become signal to all workingmen
to avoid, not only the goods bearing it, but the
stores handling the goods"

beef department This move will add several
Thousand men to those already out, and will
make the strike general, at least so far as the
Armour establishments are concerned. AT mid
night the members of District Assembly 81
were still in session.
Mr. T. P Barry, who was one of two delegates
sent here by the Richmond con vention with au-
thority to settle the strike says he will probably
leave for Richmond tomorrow night. He says
he has arrived at the conclusion that the packers
are merely playing for time. He broadly init
mates that his mission in Richmond will be to
institute, if possible boycott against Armour,
who he is convinced is alone in the way of an
amicable settlement of the stockyards trouble.
