Labor in Unison.

LAKE MoHoSK, n. Y, June Sat the
session of the Lake Mohonk negro confer
ence to-day, Rev. A L. Phillips, Southern
delegate. made speech in favor of educa-
ton of the negroes. The time had come, he
said, when Northern teachers would
Southern whites. He urged. however,
that Northern teachers, while maintaining
business relations with the colored people
should maintain social relations only with
the whites.
The president of the conference, Hon.
Rutherford B. Hayes, also spoke in favor
OF national education.
The conference at its closing session
adopted the following recommendations,
for which it suggests friends Of the negro,
North and South, should labor in unison.

the negro by the states themselves and ask
further development of means and methods
to this end until ali negroes are creditably
trained in primary schools.
.. Largely increased support of schools,
aided by private beneyolence which shall
supply teachers and preachers for the
negro race.
3. The grounding of these teachers and
preachers in common English studies and
the English Bible, with further oppertu-
nifty for any Of them to carry on their
studies as far as they may desire.
4. The encouragement of secondary
schools, established. maintained and con
Quoted by negroes.
;. The purchase of homesteads by as
many negro households as possible. with
an increase in the number of decent houses
to replace the old one-room cabin.
6. The establishment by the government
of postal savings banks, by which the ne
groes may be encouraged TO save their
earnings until they can purchase homes.
:. The aid of public education by the
national government for the especial benefit
of those sections in which illiteracy most
prevails.
S. The removal of all disabilities under
which negroes labor by the sure forces of
education, thrift and religion.

ILL-ADVISED BOYCOTTS.
President Gompers Warns the
Federation of Labor.

President Gompers Warns the
Federation of Labor.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 1.-THE
convention of the American Federation
of Labor today passed resolutions in
favor Of the establishment of a re-
publican form of government the Dis
trict of Columbia; government control
OF telegraph, and protesting against the
action of the Chicago police in breaking
up public meeting. When the cues
ton of bOycOtts was reached, President
GOmpers spoke as follows:
, II desire to impress upon your mind
the resolution adopted at the St. Louis
convention upon the report of the CON-
mittee having that subject under con-
Slderation. Every local organization
seems to take upon itself the right to
levy boycotts and spread them before
the entire country. 1t seems to me that
before the people should be asked to ia
boo the product of any firm, opportunity
should be given for investigation, and
no boycott be commenced unless ap-
proved by the convention or the execu-
tive council in the interim of the con-
venti0ns of this federation.
The boycott is a very powerful
y.
but ifput on a firm. unfairly, promlscu-
Ously, or without investigation, is likely
to react upon us and destroy the useful
ness OF that method to obtain our rights.
Then again, organizations entirely for
elgn and antogoniStlc to the trades
unions and the American Federation
have depended in large degree in
carrying out bOycOttS to a successful
termination upon the trade unions affil-
lated to the American Federation of
Labor. l trust that this convention
will take some action by which it will
distinctly formulate decisive action in
reference to the leYying and supporting
bOYcOttS." The matter was referred to
a committee.
In reference to the circular issued by
the New York Central Labor fedora
ton denouncing President Gompers as
a corruptlonist in politics, and with
prostitnting his Office and the federation
to corrupt deals with New York city
democrats, the committee on grievances
reported this resolutions:
Resolved, That this federation in conven-
uon assembled, do emphaticalIy declare its
falth IN President Gompers as an honest up
right and earnest worker in the cause of
labor. and that it absolutely believes him to
be as far above bribery, political boodleism
or corruption as the stars are above the
mother earth
The report was unanimously adopted
by standing vote amid great enthusi-
assn. A resolution was adopted against
the employment of nOn-union men on
public buildings. a resolution that 10
politician be allowed to address the as
sembly was reported adversely and con-
CURED in. A resolution was adopted
protesting against the failure of the
government to enforce the eight-hOur
law. Tonight the delegates were en-
tertained at a banquet given by the
local unions, at which the colored dele
gates occupied a place at the board.
This matter gave rise to some difficulty,
but the colored delegates had either to
be admitted or the BANQUET abandoned.

TO DIVERSITY.
Methods of Adapting the Farm to
Different Crops.

W4ONAO0S VI t1O 10
Different Crops.
The fact that climate influences crops.
and that in no particular section of this
country can crops of all kinds be grown,
should teach the fact. often overlooked,
that no two farms are alike or Weld to
the same conditions. The farmer must
not only contend with the elements
overhead and around him. but he must
also learn to derive the most from the
soil under his feet. Heavy soils. light
soils. warm soils, cold soils and fertile
soils must all be considered, and the
difficulty of attempting to adapt the soil
to the crop, instead of the crop to the
soil, has been a fruitful cause of failure
and loss on the part of many who sup
posed that, by adopting the plans and
methods of fortunate neighbors, they
would incur less liability, when the real
obstacle in the way was in attempting
to grow crop not fitted for the soil.
Preferences of Crops.
A plant will thrive best when the con-
ditiOns of the soil are such as to supply
it with warmth and nOurishmeut, ana in
a manner that does not tend to ex-
tremeS. Some plants can be grown on
a cold, heavy soil that would soon perish
plants will not thrive unless when the
soil is dry, light and warm. In some
sections the seasons are too short to
permit of the growth of d slow-maturing
crop, even when other conditions are
favorable, and if the farm is to pay it
must be done ia its own way. The soil
should be put in the best possible con-
dition for its kind and climate, and the
crop grown thereon should be one
to which the farm is well adapted.
Beginners will find that they will
be compelled to learn something
of the soils they cultivate by
making experiments for that purpose,
and those who have made farming a
business for years never undertake the
impossible task of securing a profit by
reaching off for something new to which
their soil has never before been adapted,
or tests made for that purpose.
Conditioning the Soil.
Because certain crops cannot be grown
on some soils, however, does not imply
that soils cannot be adapted to other
crops than those already grown. The
understanding of field, the application
