A REGULAR SYSTEM ron SHOCKING CORR.
this waste Is tho one sided way in which
the shocks are built. Instead Of placing
the stalks in an equal circle around tho
center, they are often placed nearly all
on one side, pressing them more or less
out Of the confer, giving the shocks a
one sided tendency and entirely pros
trating n portion of them. This waste
could be prevented by taking the neces.
sary care to build them with equal ad.
ditions on every side and thus giving
them firmly erect position.
A regular system Of cutting each
shock can DO adopted, saving timo and
labor, which tho accompanying figure
may explain. The field Is cut by taking
five rows Of hills at timo and placing
the shocks in the center one. Twenty
five hills will make one shock, the con-
ter being the first taken; all the others
are cut and placed around it. II tho
corn Is OF large variety, three hills
will DO us much as the operator will
hold in the grasp Of his left arm while
he cuts them with his right hand aud
places them against tho forming shock.
IN the figure tho shock Is larger aud In
the center, and the first three hills are
those indicated by the letters AAA,
carried to the shock ON the dotted line.
The next three are Is d, cut and placed
beside tho others. Each successive

and being taken and cut In this regular
order they will be- placed In separate
positions equally all around the shock,
and the laborer can hardly avoid max
ing It equally upright.
This system will abridgo steps and
make tho work much easier than cut

quires tho same order tho operator soon

idly. The samo general course will APP
ply TO larger shocks or TO those made OF
smaller corn. With slight modification
IL will apply TO corn in drills. The ar
rows show the direction for the operator
to work. In making a single shock II
the hills arc three and half feet apart,
1t will require about ten rods walking,
and for field Of hundred shocks
more than three miles. while with nm
irregular mode, without system, several
miles would DO required. Saving the
fodder would be still more important,
making all the difference between such

that which il destroyed by prostration

SHORTER HOURS OF LABOR.

DR.. Spahr Says They Are Attainanle IL
the People Try.
DR.. Charles B. Spahr, of Columbia Col
lege, discussed "Shorter Hours of Labor
in the lecture room of the Tabernacle last
night. He said that when the public
dealt with men who overworked and I'M
derpaid their employees it was abetting an
immoral system. Employers say they
cannot give shorter hours and compete
with their rivals. A law was enacted IN
Australia compelling employers to close
at certain hours. IL was supported
by the public which persistently boycott
ted firms that did not conform to the law.
Boycottlng, DR.. Spahr said, was some
times reprehensible. but 1t had the de-
sired effect in Australia. Reasonable
hours could be obtained If the people
would unite in demanding them and be-
stow their custom upon the employers
who are moderate in the exactions OF Ia
Dor. ''Some employers have learned the
truth of the fact that in very hard LABOR a
man will do as mucn WORKING leu
hours a day as il he worked twelve ana
thirteen hours: he will do as much IN
eight hours as In ten hours. he WORKS
harder and Is sick less when he has the
shorter hours. 1t Is a parad OK OF history
that the nations which have cared most
for wealth and the least for Justice are
the poorest. Those which nave done
most for labor have grown rich." Spain
and England were instances OF tnls
truth, The lSouth was not as
prosperousain slavery as J now. 1t did
not keep pace with the labor respecting
North. Excessive labor breeds intern
perence. Dir. Spahr read at length from
the report Of DR.. Daniels to the Congress
sional committee on the sweating system
in East New York. In conclusion he said
that the Protestant Church should unite
with the Roman Catholic in demanding
fair treatment for labor. Every man
should be the better for mis- WORK.
'There is no loss comparable to
the loss in the character OF
DR.. Spahr thought that newspapers
editors were Influenced much by letters
from correspondents, although many OF
the letters went imprinted to the waste
basket. But, these letters are usually
written by those who are prosperous ana
have leisure. The poor and oppressel
are seldom heard from.
