 Capital has to be careful how it expresses labor in Indianapolis. A pretty chamber maid in one of the hotels there was found in tears. Her employer, moved by her sorrow, inquired the cause and found to his horror that a bold waiter man had kissed her. The intrepid oaitiE was punished with dismissal. The branch of the Sodality of Walters de- manded the reinstatement of the bold walter man, and failing in their demand, walked out of the hotel. No less than nineteen of the honorable delegates to the congress of the Knights of Labor were tarrying at the inn. On hearing of the attempt of remorseless
 
 they also walked out of the hotel.

Dairyin. OH Yarns.

Dairyipg and pasturing have been
SO long considered as . ard the
same occupation that but few farm
crs will venture to engage IL the
former without first devoting a
large portion Of the farm to grass
upon which the cows may be al
lowed to Craze during the day.
When this method is changed for
thar Of feeding at the barn-yard,
it is termed "soiling" tile cows.
Even those who do not believe
soiIing a be done proitably in
voluntarily practice the soiling
method to a certain extent during
the winter season, for at hat time
the snow covers the pasture ground
and compels the dairyman to pre-
pare the food for the COWS and give
them his attention in the barn-yard.
The principal objection to soiling is
that it requires a large outlay for ex-
ira labor, yet there is as much profit
derived from winter dairving as
there is during the summer. The
real benefit is in the saving Of man
ure, which is the most important
occupation on the farm. and the
expense Of providing long fences is
done away with. Practical expert.
ments show hat by the aid of the
manure saved when soiling, a
suficiency Of green food can be
grown on a small plat to feed quite
a number of COWS, as we'll as to
provide a better variety O. food
and secure greater yields Of milk
and butter. Prof. Stewart, in his
book on feeding animals, mentions
how to feed four horses and seven
COWS for fifteen days on the food
grown upon forty rods of ground;
and he has estimated hal forty rods
of ground will produce enough to
equal the summer feeding of one
COW, but sets aside half an acre in
clover as the allowance for a COW
during the summer. This result is
not the experiment Of a single season,
But the work of fourteen years devo-
ted to soiling, by which method the
COWS give twenty per cent, more
milk than when kept on pasture;
and rye, clover, orchard grass, timo-
thy, green oats, and fodder corn, with
ground grain required, compose the
daily diet. The system is one that
permits Of the gradual accumulation
of wealth in the annual increased
fertility Of the soil, and though extra
labor may be necessary, yet it is
more effectual in operation, as it is
not distributed over a large space,
consequently there is economizing
in hauling loads of great distances
over the fields. Selling may not be
profitable to those who have plenty
Of pasture and large tracts of land,
but it will enable thosehaviDg limited
areas to engage in dairying, when,
by the Proper application of labor,
they may realize larger profits than
those who devote more land to
dairying but adhere to the pasturage
system.-Philadelphia Record.

The Walla Walla Union says that
it is "past finding out" why Mr.. Sharp
stein voted for the Lewis Railroad
Commission bill, when he had bills OF
his own pending fixing the rates of
fares and freight. 1t may be past the
Unions methods of finding out" the
motives of honest and conscientious
men, in the discharge of duty, but to
those who are above resorting to the
devices of the professional politician
there is no mystery about the matter.
The Judge voted for the Commission
bill because it was an act that the
most radical advocate of restrictive
railroad legislation could cordially APP
prove. 1t embraced the objects he
had sought to subserve in more spe-
cific manner by his own bills, and he
did not propose to jeopardize the pub
lie interest by a blind adherance
solely to measures of his own, when
others might stand a better chance Of
success. That seems to have been the
view taken by his leading constituents,
as well, who upon the appearance of
the Unions article, sent the Judge a
numerously signed letter cordially en-
dorsing his action.
