WOMES BARRIERS Excl I'd ED.
UngaIIant Union Men Don't Want Them In
That Exclusive Organization.

The announcement was made yesterday that
the Journeymen BARRIERS International Union
has decided that no women BARRIERS may join the
union. SO far no woman has applied for admis-
sion. The decision answers the question Of n
branch of the union in st. Paul, Mimi. which
wanted to know II n woman who Is employed in
a shop there could be admitted to the union in
case she applied.
The alleged grounds for tho decision were that
the union had too high "A regard for women to
encourage them to become BARRIERS. This excuse
has highly amused the women BARRIERS In this
CITY md BROOKLYN. They say the whole thing il
sanctimonious cant, and that the real ground Is
that the men are afraid of the competition Of
women. One of the women said yesterday:
Women BARRIERS have always been treated
with respect by their patrons. never knew an
instance where they had TO complain of want of
respect. They are as good BARRIERS, at least, az
tho men. and they don't want to get into the

grass is laden with very peculiar
germs. Many develop into beef and
milk and mutton and wool of the very
best, and when buried with the pillow
they greatly aid in the growth of
maximum crops of grain. Men have
said that bluegrass pastures cannot
be maintained ia western Minnesota.
They have said SO in their haste
This beneficent possessor of the soil
is marching westward every year.
When it gets a foothold it wants to
stay, and it will stay. Where it has
once been established it will again
take possession of the soil, though the
land should cease to be titled. A
farmer in Southern Minnesota once
said to the writer: "Can you tell us
how to get rid of bluegrass?" The
answer was, that I would not try very
hard to get rid of it. Where men be-
gin, in their haste, to look upon
bluegrass as weed, there is a VERT
able paradise for the intelligent farm
er.
At Gilfillan the pastures have been
greatly improved in their sustaining
power. When Mr.. Gilfllan had only
native pastures they could only sus-
tain his stock, in good form, for about
four and one-half or five months in
tn year. Now, they will do so for
more than seven months in the year,
and he is satisfied that the limit of
improvement in the pastures has not
yet been reached.
I would that all our farmers would
turn their upland native pastures in
to bluegrass. They can do so if they
try. Some of them may not know
that with little hand stripper, they
can soon gather supplies of seed at
home, when once they have got start
made in growing bluegrass, The seed
thus obtained is sure to be good. If
sowu as soon as gathered it will grow
when rain comes, though moisture
should be absent at the time of SOW
ing the seed. Thus it was that Mr..
Joseph Tyson of Redwood Falls, sue
ceeded in establishing bluegrass past
ures that reminded one of those of
old Kentucky. In those days of reno
waiting, the long-neglected beef in
dustry in Minnesota, the question of
bluegrass assumes new significance.
The farmers who will not grow blue
grass and who persist in selling their
young stock to be grown out of the
State, are not worthy of SO fine a
heritage as the fertile soils of Mime
sofa. THOMAS SHAW.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Where Bluegrass Makes a Prom
iSed Land,
st. Paul Pioneer Press.


To any lover of agriculture the
pastures that were green last season
at Gilfillan, in Redwood county, were
Ia joy to look upon. True, the drop
ping character of the season was very
favorable to the growth of grass, but
making due allowance for this, those
pastures were a wonder and delight
in section of the State where the
supply of moisture is in many seasons
not very abundant.
At this farm there are two thousand
acres in pastures. These are Of vari-
Gus sizes. They are subdivided so
lthat cattle of various ages may be
pastured upon them, and so that the
animals may feed upon some of the
pastures while other fields are grow
ing supplies for being pastured at a
subsequent season. Some of them
have been laid down without breaking
the sod of the native prairie. In other
instances the seed was sown along
with nurse crop, the first or second
taken from the land. Some of the
pastures are composed mainly of tim
othy, some are almost entirely made
up of bluegrass, and some are a COM
bination of the two. In some of the
pastures white clover has already be-
come entrenched and in others of them
it is coming.
In these pastures about eight hun
dred head of cattle we're literally al
most wading in grass. 1t was fine
grass, too, not that coarse, bulrush-
like stub which cattle do not care to
eat. 1t was that fine, silken-like grass
where the leaves must needs grow fine
and soft in character through the
sheer force of their numbers. Those
beautiful pastures reminded one of
bluegrass pastures of the East, where
the soils are plentifully supplied with
clay, rich in food elements for grasses,
and abundantly watered with showers,
which fall in ample supply from
friendly skies. They contrasted
strangely with the weedy pastures of
the native prairie and with those en-
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1897-12-16

are filled, and then they lie down and
chew the cud of an undisturbed con-
tentment. 1t means in the third place,
that when cold November and De-
cember days have come the animals
may gather food in these pastures
which is excellent for them until the
early SHOWS of winter hide the grasses
under the cover of a blanket, and it
means in the fourth place, that in the
spring the young grass springs up
early amid the protection of the dead
blades, thus furnishing a very suitable
food fully three weeks earlier ia the
spring than it could be furnished by
the pastures that had been eaten bare
in the autumn. It is suitable because
the stock must needs eat the dead
grass to get at the living grass, and
this is safeguard against securing.
And it means that in a dry season the
grass protects itself by mulch furn-
ished by the top growth.
Farmers, are not these points clear
ly made? Are they not reasonable?
Why, then do we see SO many pastures
in the State every year and in all parts
of the State, gnawed right down into
the ground? It can't be through
scarcity of land, since majority of
the farmers have too much. It is not
the fault of the cattle. They must
needs satisfy the demands of hunger.
It is is not the fault of the weather,
for nature never fails in the discharge
of duty. Whose fault is it, farmers?
The best of all the pastures on Mr..
Gilfillan's farm is bluegrass pasture,
adjacent to the farm buildings. This
pasture is literally coated with blue
grass of the rankest kind. White
clover has gone into perpetual part
nership with it. These two grasses
never had quarrel, although they,
have dvelt together in pastures
through long centuries. UnselGshly
they grow together, for when one is at
it's best the other is resting, and thus
one is the complement of the other.
When the clover dies the bluegrass
feeds upon the dead roots. But be-
fore the clover dies it has taken care
to produce fresh plants, through the
extension of the rootstocks and also
through seed. Thus it is that blue
grass and white clover can carry on a
partnership that would be perpetual
we're it not for the disturbing in
fuence of the plowshare.
It is a great thing for the agricul-
ture of any country, where bluegrass
pastures may be grown upon it. This
