Wages In the Glass Industry,

The best wages in the glass industry
are received by the window-glass blowers,
sometimes reaching twelve dollars pei
day. The master-melters rank next,
though they seldom get more than hall
that amount. From these earnings the
prices slope down to the small tending
boys, who are paid thirty cents for ten
hours work. The blowers occupation is
laborious, but not unhealthful. He works
eight or ten hours at stretch, finishing
one melt of glass. There are four or five
melts every week, each requiring sixteen
hours to fuse, ten hours of blowing and
ten hours of tlattening. The work is
always by the piece, and in teams or in
''shops," each composed of one master
workmen and several younger assistants.
There are in operation about 100 furnaces,
at which there are employed about 1000
blowers, gatherers, fatteners and cut
tiers. They are bound together by a
union that dictates the quantity each
workman may make, the number of ap-
prentices that may be taken generally not
more than two to a furnace), that pro-
hibits any foreign workmen from getting
place in the factories, or any glass from
being made in the months OF July and
August. The average time thsy have
worked in the last four years has been
less than eight months and half Much
of the time lost has been spent in strikes
or disputes with the manufacturers about
wages.-Hd1per's MaQazine.

WHAT ABOUT THE sILo9

That there should be some advance
made In silo knowledge, says John Gould
in the American Agriculturist, is not sur
prising, when some fifteen thousand wide
awake farmers in this country are each
constituting himself as the director of an
experiment station, to find out for him
self how much new can be Glanced upon
and yet score success. The wooden silo
has proved its claims as a superior recep-
tacle for the preservation of silage, as it
Is not only less costly, but better non
conductor of heat, and therefore more
easily made frost proof; all of which
means more uniform temperature for the
silage, and the nearer approach to the
ideal sweet silage. There is some oues

BEES AND HONEY POISONED.

Spraying fruit-trees with the arsenites
while yet in blossom is serious matter,
according to Professor A. J. Cook. II
is hoped that the whole press will call at
tention to it, and caution readers against
the danger. Mr.. J. A. Pearce, Grand
Rapids, Mich, had fine apiary of fifty.
eight colonies this spring, when the fruit,
trees blossomed. A neighbor sprayed
his orchard when in full bloom, while
Mr.. Pearce's bees were working in
full force. Result: The bees are seri-
ously poisoned; are dying rapidly. Even
two weeks after the honey was gathered
the workers, drones and brood are still
feeding on the poisoned honey with fatal
effect. Again, let me urge that no man
ever spray his fruit trees with Paris green
or London purple till after the blossoms
fall. Legislatures should enact laws
making it crime punishable by fine and
Imprisonment to do SC. If the honey
stored contains enough poison to kill
bees, may 1t not kill people who eat it!
This is matter demanding speedy edu-
cation. Such u law as suggested would
make fruitmcn apt scholars.

WISE WORDS.

An awkward man is seldom mean.
Stills are no better in conversation
than In foot-race
Folly must hold its tongue while wear
ing the wig of wisdom.
If you are to be great, your person must
disappear behind your work.
To every mortal is granted tongue
and even pen to defend himself.
A vein of humor should be made visible
without the help of reduction mill.
When poverty comes in at the cottage
door true love goes at it with an axe.
A little contradiction animates CONVEX
sation. This explains why courts are so
dull.
Politeness is like an air cushion; there
may be nothing In it, but it eases our
jolts wonderfully.
In all our choices this principle should
override us: that this is best for us, that
is best for our souls.
The reformer becomes fanatic when
he begins to use his emotions as substi-
tute for his reasoning faculty.
Many an object in life must be attained
by flank movements; it is the zigzag road
that leads to the mountain top.
No state can be more destitute than that
of a person, who, when delights of sense
forsake him, has no pleasures of the mind
We hasten to implant in new countries
the civilization of old ones. This is like
putting double tooth into the mouth of
child.
Reconstruction has been called thief
the thief of time. It is a murderer;
and that which it kills is not time merely,
but the immortal soul.
Under certain conditions the tongue
has to be so much restricted to the con-
ventional that it can at last utter nothing
but old worn out phrases.
He that hath trade, hath an estate;
and he that hath a calling, hath place
of profit and honor. A plowman on
his legs is higher than a gentleman on his
knees.
1t is poor encouragement to toll through
life to amass fortune to ruin your chill
dren. In nine cases out of ten q large
fortune is the greatest curse which could
be bequeathed to the young and iuex-
perienced.

UHOLLOW HORNN Is A MYTH

The most eminent veterinarian author
tiles of the world entirely ignore the ex-
istence of any such disease as ''hollow
horn" in cattle. The late Charles L.
Flint, in his voluminous and excellent
work on "Dairy Farming, when referring
to the diseases of dairy stock, says:
"Common sense is especially requisite in
the treatment of stock, and that will very
rarely dictate resort to bleeding, boring
the horns, cutting off the tail, and a
thousand other equally absurd practices
too common even within the memory of
men still living" "Horn oil" and 'stail
oil" and "wolf in the tail" and "wolf
teeth" in horses are sometimes mentioned
in the works of our most noted veterina-
rians, but ouly for the purpose of ridicule
and to expose ignorance in those who
believe in such imaginary ailments. A
cow with garget, milk fever, or even
simple fever may have u dry muzzle, slow,
or an entirely suspended rumination; the
horns hot at the base and the tips cold,
and it is these symptoms which ignorant
Quack doctors claim as those indicating
hollow horn. The animal usually needs
q dose of physic, and not bleeding or
boring of the horns.-New York San.

II is settled that perfect development Of
the corn plant Is essential to tho making
Of good siage. Their planting and the
formation of ears are, therefore, insisted
upon, as is also allowing the corn to stand
until the kernels have begun to enter the
glazed condition before cutting for the
silo. This fully developed corn, charged
with plant juices, on the verge of ma.
turity when put in the silo, does not un-
dergo the extreme ferment incident to
corn fodder less mature, and only de-
velops Tactic acid IN mild degree. The
other, with its juices less charged with
starch and sugar juices, passes In the silo
into more advanced stage of ferment,
that often shows traces of acetic acid. Il
is now shown that corn had best be al
lowed to stand uncut until wanted, and
then put into the silo without the usual
two days whiting. The whiting Is only
to reduce weight, but with more mature
fodder, this water means food value. and

be again filled to the top, and attention
then can be paid to No. ..
1t was demonstrated last year that any
amount OF rain upon silage fodder before
going into the pits will not injure it or
cause any increase of acidity. Last fall
thousands of loads of fodder dripping
with rain, went into the pits but the silage
showed no evil effects from 1t, nor did

was also found that tramping is not to be
encouraged until after twenty-four hours,
when the silage has begun to wilt. Then
it is only of benefit along the walls to
assist in making it settle. Many cases
of silage spelling along the walls result
from tramping when fresh cut, as it ex-
pels the air to an extent which prevents

APPLE SHIPPING.

The following rules for packing apples
are published by an apple dealer for the
benefit of those who supply our market
with this fruit:
Country shippers and packers of apples
should make it point to pack their fruit
honestly; that is, have the fruit run all
alike through the barrel. Do not en-
deavor to cause deception by placing
good, sound, large fruit on the top and
bottom of the barrel and fill in the mid
die with lot of gnarly, wormy and de-
cayed fruit. It does not pay. The de-
ception is easily detected upon investiga-
ton, and merchants do not care to have
fraud practiced upon them, or to practice
it on their customers.
Full regulation sized barrels should be
used. Take the barrel, one head out,
nail the hoops, and break off the ends of
The nails on the inside; place layer or tier
IF apples, fair, smooth and bright, as
closely as possible, stems downward, on
the lower end, then fill up basket at a
time, throwing out small, wormy, gnarly
and windfall apples, and shaking the
barrel well after each deposit, until it is
full two inches above the rim; place the
head squarely on the apples, and with a
screw or lever press force it into place
and nail securely. Turn over the barrel
and mark name of apple with red or
black lead, or stencil. Bear in mind
that, to be shipped safely, fruit must be
packed tight, to prevent rafting and con-
sequent bruising.
In shipping apples the first of the sea-
son-early varieties-shippers should see
that openings are cut on the side of the
barrels and also in both ends, to admit of
free circulation of air, which will greatly
help to bring the fruit through in good
condition during the warm weather.
