FREE EMPLOYMssNT BUREAU.
President Armstrong Gives Reason Why

~
1t Should BE Established.
In the letter written to Mayor Ronald by Pres
ident Armstrong, OF the Western Central Labor
Union, urging the establis hment of a free en-
ployment bureau in the cit>, the following rea-
sons were set forth as usSlfication for the de-
mand for such an institutien:
That men seeking work pad frequently been
swindled by private emplS. ment agencies, and
it was impossible to puni5n the culprits; but
the free employment bus Eau would do away
with the private ones entizey, and more salts
factory results would accl1e to the employer,
while the man seeking a.. Job would always
know that he could rely on G,nding one wherever
he was sent.
That i would be advantageous to the city in

FLAX MEAL, FOR CALVES.

At the Iowa station experiments have
been in progress to determine the feed
ing value of ground flaxseed for young
calves. A bull and heifer calf OF both
Holstein and Shorthorn breeds were
chosen, the two bulls being fed on whole
milk, and the two heifers on milk
skinned after being set twelve hours,
with as much flaxseed as they could as.
simulate without securing. These ex-
periments lasted through three months,
the calves being weighed every fifteen
days.
The results indicate: 1. That ration
of skim milk and ground haxseed COM
pare favorably with new milk ration
for young calves-2. The skim milk and
faxseed meal fed calves were less in
terupted in their growth by weaning
than were the whole milk calves So. A
saving value of butter fat alone at $I.1I
per month on esch calf, was effected by
substituting tie ground faxseed-4.

leveled. Five OF six seeds are enough
for each hill, which will require between
one and two pounds per acre. When
the plants ar, we'll started and all danger
from insects is past, they should be
thinued out to three or four plants to the
hill.
An experienced cucumber grower
recommends that when the seed is sown
a broadcast dressing of three or four
hundred pounds of Peruvian guano per
acre should be applied, as that fertilizer
seems to have an especially good effect
on the crop. BY the addition OF four
hundred pounds of guano, costing $15,
to the previous preparation, over three
hundred thousand cucumbers to the acre
were obtained, which is double the
average yield. As the crop was sold for
81. so per thousand. the expenditure of
SIS added nearly 5000 to the price re.
ceived per acre.
The cultivation required is to keep the
soil loose by frequent stirring until the
vines cover the ground. Ths main vines
should be pincbed at the ends to keep
them within bounds and encourage the

chiefly pistillate blossoms, while those of
the main branches are mostly stamenatc
OF barren flowers. The fruit should be
gathered every morning as soon as 1t mas
reached the proper size, from two to
three inches in length.
The principal enemies of the cucumber
are lice, which prey upon the leaves, and
the striped beetle and it's larvH. The
former may be dealt with by picking of
the first infested leaves, by which the
rapid spread of the pest may he pre-.
vented. Tho striped beetle should be
treated with a dusting OF finely ground
gypsum; its Larvae, sm,ll, slender,
white worm, which gnaws into the roots,
may be successfully combatted by pour
ing about the roots Of the plant mix
ture of one gill of kerosene oil with a
solution Of one pound of common yellow
soap in one gallon of hot water, the
whole being shaken into an emulsion.
This has been found an effectual remedy.

NUMBER OF PARTICLES IN SOILS.

The size of the particles of soil
largely determines its water holding
capacity, and thereby its fitness for GER
tain crops. NJ. Whitney, of the Mary
land station (R. '9D, is investigating
farm soils in the equipped labora-
tories Of Johns Hopkins University, uu-
der the supervision of the station, and
aided by the United States Department
of Agriculture. The accuracy and
thoroughness of the investigation is a
credit to American science. Among
other results, it was found that no crop
can be successfully grown, unless highly
