A Battle to a Finish.

Yesterday the employees of the first five
named factories OF the American AK com
pany went out on a strike, caused by the
efforts of the company TO discourage the
growth OF labor unions. These factories
are he largest and most important ones
IN the company. Both sides appear very
confident of winning. The company
claims that 1t will permit the shops to rot
down before allowing the unions to exist
in them, and the men declare that they
will cave the different towns and hunt
other work rather than abandon their or
ganization. The Federation Of Labor is
supporting the strikers.

plants are lifted. with a mass of earth
on them and placed in position in the
new bed. This work may be done any
time in the year. when the ground is
not frozen. We have had ripe berries
in this way six weeks after early spring
planting. Caution is necessary in
adopting this mode on adhesive or
heavy soils, not to press it with the
spade with such firmnesS as to make it
compact. solid or adhesive.
These different methods have various
advantages. but it should be borne in
mind that the plants exhaust the soil
more or less, and require the annual
application of manure or fertilizers
But the most perfect growth, and es-
pecially required for marketing. and
berries of the finest quality are to be
obtained only by making new beds by
transplanting into rich. fresh, weu-pre-
pared soil. If done as soon as the crop
has been gathered, say about the mid
die of summer, when the soil is suf-
ficiently moist, they will come forward
and make good growth through au-
tumn, and be nearly as forward as if
set out the previous spring. They may
be set month later. cutting off all the
old and large leaves, and preserving

CUTTING CORN FODDER.


A Feed That Keeps Live stoek In Good
Condition In the Winter.
Good corn fodder is one OF the cheap
est and best rough feeds on the farm.
In making the necessary grain the fod-
der is grown SO that the only item OF
expense is the cutting, shocking up and
hauling out. Yet when there is a con-
siderable acreage this is quite task. SC
much so that in many cases sufficient
quantity cannot be gathered Mt the
right stage to be of the best quality
without hiring extra help. To a con-
siderable extent the quality or value of
feed is largely determined by the age
at which it is cut and the manner of
curing and scoring away.
AS with much other farm work. ma
chinery will not only lessen the labor,
but afford a much better opportunity
of getting the work done in good sea-
son. With a corn harvester. two men
and one horse viii put from six to
eight acres of corn in the shock. and in
this way a considerable quantity of
good feed can be secured in a short
time and at a comparatively small
cost. Too much fodder is allowed 20
get too ripe before cutting. So far as
is possible it will be best to begin cut
ting when the grain begins to harden
we'll
The size Of the shocks should be de-
ter,nined largely by the management
to be given. If, as is often done. the
fodder is TO stand in the field until il is
hauled out and fed TO the stock, it will
be best to put up in large shocks while
if it is to be hauled in and stored under
shelter as soon as & is sufficiently
cured, small shocks are much the best;
where fodder is left standing out there
is always more or less damaged fodder
on the outside of the shocks The rain,
snow, wind and sun bleach and evapo-
rate good portion of the nutrimens in
the stalks SO that it is quite an item to
lessen the amount that is exposed to
these elements as much as possible,
and this is the advantage in putting up
N large shocks. Sixteen hills square
is not too large. But when it is to be
hauled in under shelter rs soon as pos
sible eight or ten hills square is large
enough.
With good shelter cattle. sheep and
horses can be kept in good thrifty con-
dition all winter with very little grain
and consequently at a low cost if the
fodder is OF good quality, or if the fod-
der is cut up fine and small quantity
of oil. meal and bran added this class
of stock can be kept thrifty during the

3. The ensilage should be fed from
the top. as this exposes less to the air
than when taken from the side
4. That for the same reason large
silos should be divided into compart-
ments and one compartment fed out at
time.
). That unless feeding is begun soon
after the silo is filed, close cover
should be provided. Such protection
may consist of coarse hay. chaff, straw,
earth, boards. etc. the necessary con-
dition being that the air be excluded
8. That the bottom of the silo should
be so constructed as to exclude rats. by
layer of small stones or grout laid be-
fore the cement is applied.
In constructing silo only sound and
well-seasoned timber should be used
Unsound or sappy wood viii rot out in

the best lumber should be reserved for
the inside lining and should be placed
at the bottom. Perfect ventilation on

etc. should be provided to prevent
rotting. The best Innings consist Of
two layers OF narrow boards with tari ID
paper between them. II is not essen
tial that the Innings should be matched
but the boards should be OF uniform
width. The Innings may be made more
effective by painting the sides next the
paper with hot coal tar. The sills
should likewise be tarred and should
