the Locked out Malleable Employees.
The Locked out employees of the Mallea-
ole Iron Company are indignant about an
editorial in this mornings News in which
the writer gives the moulders what he
evidently thinks is some good advice
The men say that the article spoken of
is narrow and e.sided and that they
believe a member of the Iron Com oany
wrote il.
One Of the men who spoke for the
Others, they endorsing all he said, made
the following statement: "The Male
able Iron Company's works were what is
known as an organized union shop that
is to say there was perfect understand
ing between employer and employees
concerning wages. the hours Of work and
what constituted days work. The un-
derstanding also was that none but union
moulders We're to be employed and the
firm had the privilege of discharging any
man whom they regarded as incapable.
''Now. continued the molder. this
lockout is not an effort on the part of the
company TO run their own business but
it is war on organized labor. We are
not fighting il as individuals or even as
the local union but our endeavor is to
keep this an organized union shop.
Organization is our only means Of
protection concluded the molder.
Ths men deny that they shout at the

HOW VANILLA GROWS.

Two Methods of Preparing the Pods for
for Marhet-The Plant.
Vanilla belongs to the orchid family
and is a sarmentose plantfurnished with
thick, oblong, glaucous green leaves,
The vine sometimes attains a height of
forty-five feet. 1t begins to bear the
third year after planting and continues
bearing thirty years, Each vine annu-
ally produces from forty to fifty-fye
capsules or seed pods, which are gath.
cred before reaching complete maturity
between April and June.
For one method of preparation they
are gathered after they have lost their
green tint, and arr then exposed 70 the
sun in wooden sheets which have pre-,
viously been thoroughly heated. They
are then put into boxes covered with a
cloth, and are again heated in the sun,
twelve or fifteen hours, after which they
should assume a coffee color. If this is
not obtained they must be covered and
again exposed, the whole process lasting
about two months. after which they are
packed securely, fifty each, in tin boxes.
BY the second method about a thou
sand pods are tied together and plunged
into boiling water to bleach them. after
Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1889-02-18

which they are exposed to the sun, and
then coated with oil or wrapped in oiled
cotton to prevent them from bursting.
During the drying process the pods ex-
ude a sticky liquid, which is expedited
by gentle pressure two or three times a
day. By this process the pod loses about
a quarter of its original size. The best
quality pods are seven to nine inches
in length, and large in proportion, and
possess in greater abundance the char
acteristic and agreeable perfume which
gives vanilla its value.
The vine is sometimes covered with a
silvery eflorescence producing an essen
tial salt similar to that found in the pod,
and this is diffused on the outside of the
capsule. 1t is called vanilla rime, and is
in great demand in the Bordeaux market.
Vanilla is used in perfumery and in
havoring confectionery and cordials. 1t
is supposed to possess powers similar to
valerian, while it is much more grateful.
Its production in Reunion has increased
in the past forty years from a few
pounds to nearly half a million, and that
colony is now the principal rival and
competitor of Mexico. The total import
into France rose from about 10000
pounds in 1880 to about 100000 in 1886,
but the annual import fuctuates con,
siderably,-Londan Times.
