Industrial freedom. [volume] (Edison, Wash.) 1898-1???, 1898-11-19

All new corners able TODD so should bring
with them their bedding.
The agricultural department. is rather
short on potatoes, but long on carrots, cab
bage and turnips this year.
The shoe shop is as busy as ever, and the
tailor shop a little more so, the approach of
the rainiest of the rainy season creating a
brisk demand for more clothes.
The cooper shop is not as busy as usual,
as they are waiting for stock to dry and Bro.
Wilhg, our sauer kraut manufacturer, is now
waiting with i'll concealed Impotence for the
barrels
"A single colony, nor multitude of colo
mics. will never solve the great social prob
lem. Nothing short OF universal and harmo-
NOUS cooperation will do the job. but the
colonies are excellent and almost indispensa-
BILE training schools for the Cooperative
Commonwealth.
The sound of the mill whistle is sweet
music in our ears. 1t marks another step
towards socialist manufacturing town. 1t
is going to materialize, too, in spite of the
fact that we are classed as Missionaries and
incapables'' by those who live in luxury off
the toll of others. We are in this movement
to win
This is the time OF year that we most
feel the exactions of the oil trust. With
long nights and cloudy days, and petroleum
selling at two or three times the labor cost
thereof, we are somewhat hard hit" But
happily we have an ''ace up our sleeve to

Our agricultural department is worthy
of special mention in our colony notes. 1t is
really wonderful the amount of fruit and veg
etables that this department has produced
under the conditions existing in our pioneer
stage. The old logging camp shed has been
converted into vegetable and root house,
and to one who has been used to providing
only for an individual family the amount of
vegetables that are in sight seems to be en-
ormous.
The cabbage bin is 16xl00 feet, with folr
tiers of he ads closely packed one above an
other. The turnip and carrot bin is Sx60 it,,
six feet high, almost full to the top. And by
the way we have turnips to suit the different
nationallties; Swedish turnips for Swedes, ana
Purple tops for the Yankees The Irish, of
course, don't eat anything but praties, and
the Dutch sauer kraut and schnaps, whatever
that may be.
The potato bin is about 6x20 feet, with sew
eral hundred pumpkins and squashes laid
overhead. Twenty barrels of kraut with the
white foam running over the brim, remind
ing the German of the "bully lager beer in
the faderlandt."
The apple bins in the warehou will furn-
ish Equality with all the sass needed for
months TO come, and the barrels OF apple but
ter. yum, yum. Meat! we'll, cannibals eat
meat didn't we have whole steer 70. din
ner on our anniversary? Just go look at the
fat hogs in the new hog yard, you meat eat
ers: why, the department will coon be able to
furnish big fat hog every day in the year.
The agricultural department has made
quite valuable di 'covery in the way of
large spring or underground stream. While
slashing out line for fence, the sound of
running water was heard beneath their feet.
A foot and half excavation disclosed beau
tiful stream of sparkling water, and this
water is in tae pasture on high gravel land,
furnishing an abundance OF good healthy
drink for the stock.
The department will now pay parti ;ular at
tention to the dairy and poultry divisions, and
in few months ge win be eating butter and
eggs to- our hears content.
The question Of planting an orchard in the
spring is now occupying the attention Of the
nursery division, and young orchard viii be
one OF the beauties OF Equality next year.
Land is being cleared for the spring crops,
and the depar mens will have the advantage
