Text: He that earneth wages earneth
wages to put into bag with holes.''-Hag-
gail 6.
In Persia, under the reign of Darius
Hystaspes, the people did not prosper.
They made money, but did not keep It.
They were like people who have sack in
which they put money, not knowing that
the sack il torn or eaten of moths or in
some way made incapable of holding valu-
ables. As fast as the coin was put in one
end OF the sack it dropped out of the 9TH
er. 1t made no difference how much
wages they got, for they lost them. He
that earneth wages earneth wages to put it
into a bag with holes"
What has become of the billions and
billions of dollars in this country paid to
the working classes? Some of these mon
eys have gone for house rent or the
purchase of homesteads, or wardrobe,
family expenses, or the necessities of life,
or to provide comforts in old age. What
has become of other billions? Wasted in
foolish outlay. Wasted at the gaming ta
BILE. Wasted in intoXicants. Put into a
bag with 100 holes.
Gather up the money that the working
classes have spent for drink during the last
thirty years, and l will build for every
workingman a house and lay out for him
garden, and ciothe his sons in broadcloth
and his daughters In silks, and place at his
front door IA prancing span of sorrels or
bays, and secure him Il policy of life insur-
ance, SO that the present home may be well
maintained after he is dead. The most per-
sistent, most oyerpowering enemy of the
working classes is Intoxicating liquor. 1t
Is the anarchist of the centuries and has
boycotted and is now boycotting the body
and mind and soul of American labor. 1t

Farm Notes.

The Missouri Station recommends the
following remedy for the San Jose scale:
Genuine whale oil soap dissolved in water
in the proportion of two pounds of soap to
one gallon of water. Apply thoroughly
by means Of fOrce-pump and spray nozzle
sides and repeat if il rains within a week
thereafter. Apply in fall just after the
leaves fall and before the scales become
hard, and again in spring just before the
trees begin to leaf out.
1t is only when used in large amounts
- q pickle that salt retards decay. Used
in small amounts on either animal or veg
etable matter, with enough water to dis
solve it, salt will always hasten decOmpO-
sitiOn. For this reason it is an excellent
plan to use il wherever it is desired to
have manures act more quickly. little
sprinkled o yer Q manure heap with water
enough to wash il down will set it to fer
menting. IT will do the same when q
tough sod has been plOwed under which
it is necessary to rot quickly
Swine increase SO rapidly and reach
maturity so quickly that the intelligent
breeder can rectify mistakes and breed
out faults in several generations of hogs,
while the horse or cattle breeder is wait
ing through years of patience to see the
result of a single cross. The best show
pig may come from the smallest sow in
the herd; but is is not safe, as rule, to
select breeders from that class We want
the most size in the shortest time, and we
can safely fOregO little Of the fattening
tendency provided we secure in the pros
pective breeder ranginesS and tendency
to growth.
1t is surprising how soon young pigs
will begin to eat with the sow or drink
milk If placed where the pigs, but not
the sow, can have access to it. As soon as
pigs show a disposition to eat there should
be a separate place provided where
they can be fed by themselves, and run
back and forth to the dam. This plan
tides over the check most litters will re
ceive when the litter needs more nourish-
ment than the dam can supply, and as .
consequence some are half starved.
The value of wool depends very much
on its quality, its fineness, evenness,
strength and length of staple, says Amer
Sheep Breeder, and these Characters
tics are very carefully looked into by
the buyer. II goes without saying that
as the fleece is part of the animal ii is
quite as dependant upon the feeding as
any other part of it is. That Is to say the
wool being derived from the food and the
general nutrition of the sheep, and failure
in these is Immediately marked by an
equi valent loss of quality of it.
The kind of feed that fattens which in
this country is chiefly corn. .sought never
to be given to sows bearing pigs. Oats or
fine wheat, mill feed, will furnish the
same nutrition, but these must be given
only moderately. The larger bulk Of
food should be given in the form that will
best promote digestion, which, in our e1-
perience is either beets or turnips. The
former the sOws are very fond of 1t but as

Tho Indiana Pipe Quarry.

In Southwestern Minnesota is a cele-
brated quarry where the Indians have
for centuries obtained a soft red stone
out Of which they carve pipes. The
quarry belongs to the Sioux, to whom II
was ceded by the United States Gov
ernment forty years ago. Mr.. A. H.
Gottschall says this Is the only place
in America, and probably In the world,
where this particular kind Of stone is
found. Many tribes Of the red men
formerly resorted to the quarry. and
the pipestone seems to have been an ar
ticle Of commerce among them, for II
has been found in Indian graves scat
tered all the way from the Great Lakes
to the Gulf of Mexico. 1t has also been
found as far west as the Rocky noun
tains and in British America.

the capacity Of steel to endure greater
pressure than the hardest stone was
recently made at Vienna. Corundum
was chosen for the stone. and small
cubes Of both distances were placed
under pressure. A weight of six tons
smashed the corundun, but forty-twO
tons were required to crush the steel.
When the steel did give way, the ef-
fects are described as most remarka-
