APPLE HARVEST.

The apple crop is short in many
sections this year, but farmers can
generally more than make up for the
diminished number by increased care
in handling. Fruit that has been
gathered before being properly rip
ened or so late that it has been af-
fected by the frost, or that is bruised
or imperfectly sorted, will neither
keep well nor command the best mar
ket price, no matter how well it has
been cultivated.
Apples are not fully ripe until the
seeds are entirely black. Maturity is
necessary for the full development of
the flavor, and the best keeping quail
ity is obtained by picking them as
soon as possible. The exceptionally
hot, dry season has caused all fruits
to ripen early, hence they should be
picked early and very carefully hand
led to avoid brusing
Good apples always command fair
price. both at home and abroad. The
European market should be a very
good one this year, as the English APP
Pile crop is failure, if Americans
would only exert themselves to cater
to the wants of the foreigner. Apples
hereare mostly sold by the barrel, hay

The horse should be condemned as

When a stallion can show uniform

his excellence has come to him through
a long line of ancestry, and it will be
safe to breed to him. If, on the other
hand, horse, no matter how good
he may be, get colts, good, bad and
Indifferent, it will not be safe to pat
ronize him, for the merit that his pro.
geny does possess will be easily lost in
breeding.

the stallion used is up headed, has
good knee action, good disposition,
good legs and good courage. Breed
these and nothing else.

wlNreR CANE OF SEEDS.

Many farmers save, for their own use
squash, melon, cucumber, tomato, and
other garden seeds from well devel-
oped specimens, as they are then quite
certain to have what they want for

small item of expense is saved, and
the seeds are certain to grow if prop

If sown in the fall it is ready to cut

LABOR'S FIRST STRIKE,



The first labor strike was in 1881,
when Wat Tyler at the head of 100,
600 peasantry marched into L ondon,
sd kcd the houses of Parliament, in
yaded the tower and told the mobiles
who had fed there for refuge that
the time had arrived when serf was
as good as lord. Before that time
labor meant abiect slavery, and sach
-:s-s Ss.ssa-g as a strike had never been
born in the brain even OF the Anglo
Saxon, the first race in history to en-
joy free labor.
In London Wat Tyler's great army
OF peasantry met young Richard IL
on the banks of the Thames and de-
manded freedom f;om the serfage of
the soil. That tremendous conflict,
which freed labor and created a mid
die class in England, had its begin
ming in luxury and extravaganza.
When Edward LII was reigning the
black plague broke out and carried
of so many victims that crops were
left unharvested. Whenit had lifted
the barons found that they could not
control free labor because they would
not pay the prices Then followed
one of the bloOdlest wars between
labor and capital.
a out this time there appeared
John Ball, mad priest OF Kent. "
He made speeches from the pulpit of
almost every church IN Kent, and his
speeches were of the most socialistic
character
The government could not prevent
immense crowds of peasantry from
docking to hear Ball. He uttered
this rhyme, that flew from mouth to
mouth through the tIngdom:
When Adam delved and Eve span.
Who Was hen the gentemang
That was the watchword of labor,
and it summoned to arms the lower
classes of England. One hundred
thousand peasants marched through
Canterbury looted the palace of the
ch-bishop and opened the Jail doors
upon "Mad JohL Ball" and then
hurried GU to London, where they
met Wat Tyler, soldier and placed
him in leadership of the army of
lator.
RICHARD, only is years of age, had
lust come 20 the throne. He met
the army and made a most liberal
S czech, Offering them their freedom
i they would disperse aud go home
Wat Tyler, with his 100, 600 Kent
ish men, etc, remained to see the
King perform his promise. Richard
freed men right and left. Nearly
every nobleman in the kingdom had
fed to Scotland to escape the wrath
of this army of labor. The next day
the boy King, scarcely without fol-
lowing, met Wat Tyler and his re.
naming army and a sculi,e ensued
between Wat T. Ter and the Lord
Mayor of London, in which the Lo:d
May 7 killed the great labor leader
with dagger.
A great shout arose from the peas.
antry LET us kill too! Our cap
tain is dead" Richard bravely rode
70 th and shouted: II am your cap
Ia NJ Follow me-" and they followed
him to a man; but after the fall of
Wat Tyler the King never kept his
word. And ever since that day labor
and capital have been at war in one
way or another.
