where the memb bers had their place of

Union Struck by Frank b.
Gibson.

The Pacific Sheet Metal Works Com
pany are putting ON a roof at the Prot
estant Orphan Asylum on Haight street,
near La una, and have fifteen non-union
men employed on the job.
The Metal-roofers' Union held q meet
ing Thursday morning and appointed a
committee of three to go to the asylum
and use its influence with the foreman not
to employ non-union men. President John
T. McGrath decided, however, that he
would go himself instead of the committee.
He went out to the asylum and clim bed
to the roof. He ordered the men to
stop work, and the foreman, Frank B.
Gibson, asked him, "Who are your"
McGrath explained the object of his mis-
sion, and Gibson gave him minute to
get off the roof. McGrath refused to go,
and Gibson struck him blow on the jaw
that nearly Knocked him off the roof. 1t
was fortunate thing for McGrath that
the roof was fat, otherwise be would have
measured his length on the ground.
McGrath made his way to Judge Camp

Trelllses are built much higher IN
this country than they are In Eurone
We get our ideas of what the gran.
vine needs by seeing the wild vines IN
woods climbing to the tops of b,gh
trees and bearing their best fruIt at tbs
highest point. American grape vines
require more room than is usually Wv.
en- them. In Europe the vineyards arr
set in checks like our corn fields with
a vine tied to stake not more thon
four to five feet high, and each bearing
only a few punches of fruit. We have
seen many grape vines, each of which
covered a large trellis and bore two
to three bushels OF fruit every wear
Such vines If rightly managed and
pruned keep in better condition thar
those that are restricted for room. In
most vineyards that we have seen. the
owner after a few years wishes that
the vines were twice as far apart AZ
they are.

Do not the Kitchen middens'' of
which biologists tell us-those singular
remains Of gigantic fires and roasted
bones which science has discovered ON
many northern shore-mark the site
where the Yule logs of the kings fires
were first kindled? Quantities of fossil
lied bones are embedded in the old world
ash heaps-bones which careful investi-
CATION assures us have been roasted.
Huge cooking places they must once have
been. The bones strewing the ground
after carouse seem to have been a spe-
cial feature of Danish feast We have
only TO recall the death Of Elphage, the
patriot archbishop of Canterbury, in the
days of Ethelred. who. although pris-
oner in the Danish camp, steadily re-
fused to deliver himself by ransom, say
ing il would be treason in him to pay
the enemies of England. "Gold, bishop,
gold p shouted the Danish troops, thirst
ing more for gain than blood, until. ir-
ritated by his constancy, they ran TO a
heap Of bones and horns Of oxen-the
relics of their repasts-and showered
them from all sides upon the aged
Saxon. Elphage soon fell half dead, and
was dispatched with an ak by one of the
pirates.
We may gather some idea Of these gil
gantic Yule fires from the ancient edicts
and the illusions in the sagas to the all
important duty of kindlng the beacon
fires ut the approach of an enemy. Wher-
ever the Norsomen settled these beacon
fires were established and their wardens
appointed. CLAUS Magnus and Snorro
both prove that large trees were cut
down in the nearest forest aud piled
upon the beacon hill until the blazing
pine wood must have resembled a burn
ing mountain. Yet the kings fire at the
feast of Thor exceeded the beacons on
the Norway headlands. as it burned for
weeks, for the feast Of Thor was also
the appointed time for regulating all
home affairs. Notes and Queries.

One thing which causes the loss with
clover ensilage is that clover is a rath-
er heterogeneous plant, says the Indiana
Experiment Station, and often heats
in the silo to a high degree, which caus-
es the passing off of large amount OF
tire-fanging. much the same as occurs
In pile of horse manure; at least that
has been my experience In ensiloing IL.
If sufficient water be used upon H.
the heat is reduced and the ensilage Is
preserved. 1t will be necessary ior
the person filling the silo to watch pref
ty carefully, and If the temperature
rise above 1876 degrees, to keep water
well poured on the surface. do not
think that any injurious results VIII
arise from the application of water
We have ensilage here, and have re-
ceived no results other than benenciai
ones.

Corn is one of the foods that are too
rich in the heat and fat producing
elements, says the Ohio Farmer. 1t
needs something that contains more
of the bone and muscle-forming ele-
ments to make 1t a good ration. Now,
the scientist tells us that the excess OF
carbohydrates will be stored up In the
system as fat. This is, in a measure,
true. But all Of us common hayseeds
know that in practice, If an animal
be fed an exclusive corn diet, the stor-
ing-up process goes right on all right
for a time. Then the appetite becomes
clogged there is a dlscouraging check
In growth, and the animal takes an I'M
thrifty appearance.
Something besides corn should be fed
as the grain ration, for the sake Of
variety If for no other reason. Relish
has a great influence on digestion, and
an animal will not eat with a good rel
ish when fed on a single food for any
great length Of time.

Nearly all winter wheat is now sown
by the drill. There are many adyan.
tages in this method of putting in the
crop over broadcasting. Not the least
of these is that 1t affords so good op-
portunlty to drill mineral fertilizers in
contact with the seed where they will
greatly stimulate its early growth.
But the most important advantage Ia
that the drill leaves the wheat in a hol-
low where it can be slightly protected
against all but the severest freezes.
The ridge each side Of it is mellowed by
the frost, and when rains come It ia
washed down over the wheat roots.
This is greatly helped by narrowing the
wheat early in the spring so soon as ths
ground is dry enough.

Breeding House for Poultry.

Small breeding houses have come to
be considered almost a necessity upon
the average farm as well as in the
yards Of the fancier. The farmer has
learned that 1t is economical and much
more satisfactory to pick from his
flock the most promising pullets and a
well-bred male and place them in
commodious yard with snug little
house of their own. From this yard
will come all the eggs that can be used
for Matching. The eggs from hens hav-
ing the entire range of the farm NAV
be disposed OF in the general market
and used for household purposes.
