GETTING WORK AND GETTING
WORKERS.

zone Of the problems confronting
the farmer in the harvesting OF his
crop this year." says a prosperity-tout-
ing report, us the scarcity OF help"
But that was problem last year, and
the year before, and the year before
that, says The Public. 1t Is a problem
every summer, In bad times and in So
called good times. And 1t must re-
main problem while our laws foster
the development Of classes to serve and
classes to be served, Though the coun-
try were annally overrun with men
seeking work, farmers could not de-
pend upon having an abundant supply
Of hands during one short and eXcep-
tionally exacting season Of the year.
Farmers complain Of being short OF
hands in harvest, yet there Is not a
farming community in the country
where farm hands could not in the
mldst of harvest be hired for less
wages than the farmer pays, provided
only that steadlness OF employment
were guaranteed. A brief burst of un-
satisfied demand FOR farm hands in
harvest is not evidence OF abundance
OF work nor Of scarcity of workers.
That getting workers Is In reality
by 40 means so difficult a matter as
getting work is indicated by this item
from the news columns Of the Chicago
Record:
Residents near the Illinois free en-
ployment bureau at 2S Ogden avenue
say that the crowds of men attracted
by that office are an annoyance to the
neighborhood. The work hunters
come early and hang around all day,
1t is said."
There is no room for supposing that
these people are unwilling to work, nor
pretense that they can be supplied
with work. 1t is only household serv-
ants thht are reported to be scarce, and
this scarcity, like that OF farm hands,
is acknowledged to be temporary.

thorltles In the provision trade that
there is no possible chance that heavy

time, II ever, again, says Texas Stock

snmors and the retail and export trade
Formerly packing hog was heavy at
800 to 46O pounds now packing hogs

the best all-around porkor does not OK

]. w. Vale, In an address before
Missouri poultry-raisers, said:
| have q friend who has, been raising
Light Brahmas for several years and
has been very successful In the big
shows with them, who told mo last
year that he used to think no fowl
laid IA we'll In winter as tho Light
Brahma, but after trying the Lang
shan for four years he said they laid
great deal better in the winter than
tho Brahmas. He also said he did not
believe there was any kind Of d fowl in
the United States that equaled the
Langshan as a winter layer.
Judge G. A, Emry, after breeding
them with several kinds for about
fourteen years, says they are tho best
winter layers of any he has trl0d. J
could name number of others who
hayo tried them with other fowls as
egg producers and whose testimony
would be in favor OF tho Lnngshan,
There are but few instances whero the
testimony Is tho other way. AS sit
ters don't think have found az
good In any other breed. They do not
get frightened while being handled;
very seldom break their eggs, and as
n rule are not hard to break from
sitting Thoy are good mothers, but
great many wean their chicks too soon,
but they 90 to laying as soon as the
chicks arc weaned

Proportion of cows

The number Of milk-producing cat
tle increased from 100000 In lS7l-7O
TO 2,bG2, 900 In lSQl-O5, simultaneously
the population grew from 2G,S6i,2l7
persons to 33,S23,12O, Hence, whilst
Great Britain possessed SO milk-ylold-
ing cattle per 1000 persons over tho
earliest qulnQuennial period, these
numbers had fallen to 70 over the lat
est, In the three years which have
elapsed since the close OF the period
1926 there has been further pro-
portionato decline, though in this re-
spect 1898 Is seen to show some slight
improvement over 1897, Nevertheless,
the human population of our Island Is
increasing at so much more rapid Il
rate than the bovine that the proper
tons tabulated above can hardly fail
to decline as future QuinquenniNl perl
ods become completed, and conse-
Quently our dependence on soa-borno
butter must steadily become greater,

THE DlSINHERITED,

From the dawn Of day into dusk and
dark
The bounteous earth we till,
But only the husks and the char are
ours,
Tho we grind the grist at the mill,
In vineyards we work, but quaff moi
wine,
The cup is dashed from our hand,
The juice Of the grape is for Plutoa
board,
And the lordlings OF the landl
The water we draw never moists ouS
tongue,
Tho our throats are parched and hot.
The wood that we hew heats other
hearthstones,
But our own fires burn not.
For the gold and the gems we dig and
delve,
But their glitter and their glow
Shine not for us who danger dare
In the sunless mines below.
Weayers are we, and we wear not the
cloth,
Builders that enter not in;
Dare we declare that we own not our
own,
Our cry Is considered q sin.
On bended knee we have asked for our
own,
But our prayers were wasted breath,
For the lie was proclaimed from the
altars---
We must wait till after death!
On the treadmill of shop and mart we
groan
Till our ragged lives are spent,
Gathering golden grains for Pluto's
pile
For his Midas touch Is rent!
Dsinherlted? Aye! so wall the weak,
For plunderers do not whine,
But they guard their loot with q picket
fence
Backed up with a picket line!
We serfs are sinners against ourselves;
'Tis our apathy that covers.
Our labor and blood palace have
built,
And the palace must be ours!

ures will show that this year wheat
was actually / cent lower than the av'
erage price for the whole 16 years, and
that higher prices prevailed during the
nine years out Of the sixteen, and eight
out OF the thirteen before tho present
administration took hold.
In corn higher prices prevailed In II
out OF the 16 years, and In only
two years out Of the 13 before this ad-
ministration did corn reach as low a
point as now. 1t further shows that
corn was over cents q bushel lower
this year than the average for l6 years,
and that 1t was still cheaper last year.
In hogs, the prices have been higher
during II out of the lG years than THIS
year, and only twice during the IL
years prior to this administration did
prices fall as low, and the average OF
the 16 years Is nearly one cent h pound
higher than this year.
In CATTLE prices have been as high or
higher seven years out Of the IS, and
are this year only cents per hundred
pounds higher than the average for the
16 ye&rs.
Cotton is not included in the table,
because everybody knows that cotton
has fallen In price every year and is
still falling.
Now let the republican papers stop
prevaricating about high prices for
farm products and the wonderful pros
perity the farmers are having under
the Mckinley administration.

Issue q title deed to each living squlr-
rel This would create an incentive for
gathering more nuts.
AS squirrels cannot create nut trees.
1t would bo impossible for them to pro-
vide nut trees for the squirrels that are
born tomorrow; but one nut tree will
support two squirrels, and the young
strangers could gather nuts on shares
for the older squirrels.
This would enable the old settlers to
store up nuts for future use, and they
could then employ young squirrels ia
build houses for them and wait on
them, and they could pay them in tho
nuts gathered by the younger,
or course after q time there would
be more squirrels than work to do, and
the competition between each other for
employment would decrease wages, II
might now be said that the working
squirrels would become dissatisfied and
would demand the abolition of the mo-
nopoly OF nut trees but they would do
nothing CT the kind, Some would claim
that their misery was caused by the
single nut standard, others that 1t was
because squirrels drank rain water,
and still Others that 1t was because
machine had been invented to gather
nuts, and that the solution lay In the
collective ownership Of the machine,
Then there would be the influence oil
the plous squirrels, who would claim
that nothing could be accomplished so
long as the bad little squirrels worked
on Sunday Quite q large class would
hold that everything was all right;
that there always were poor squirrels
and always would be, and at tho men
ton OF the abolition Of nut tree monop'
oily they would all rise and with one
mighty voice cry; what! would you
connscate the poor working squirrels

How Successful Farmers Operate This
Department OF tho Farm-A Few
Hints nv to the Care OF Live stock
and Poultry,


A writer In the British Dairy Farm
n says
The stoady growth In our Imports OF
iairy produce Is largely attributable to
The circumstance that the bovine popu-
Iatlon of Great Britain 10 increasing nc
less rapid rate than the human pop
llaton the result being that tho homo
sources of supply do not keep pace
with the demand, This Is very clearly
shown In n table which Major Craigle
gives In tho new volume Of Agrlcul-
mral Returns (1S9S) It sets forth for
the fye periods OF five years lS7l-75
to lSOl-O5, and for each OF tho three
years 1896 to 1898, the population OF
Great Britain the number OF cows and
helfers IN milk and calf, and the pro-
portion of each Of these per 1000 per-
sons The following statement shows
these proportions.

To stop the Growth of Horns.

Is there anything that will stop, tho
growth OF horns on cattle? II 80,
where can ID 10 gotten and when
should II be applied? This question
is frequently asked and to 1t we mako
tho following answer, says Rural.
World: At any drug store one can buy
either caustio potash or caustic silver
(luna caustio), which, when applied to
the nubs OF horns on young calves, Will
stop all growth OF the horns, 1t Is
usually advised to wrap tho stick
caustlc with paper to prevent It's burn
ing the fingers while handling then
rub the Little knob where the horn Is
to- appear with an eSposed end OF the
stick. N the knobs are claansed with
soap and water to remove all animal
grease, the caustlc will be more enec-
tive. A little grease rubbed around
the base OF the knob Will prevent the
caustic from burning where IL ought
not to. Another method Of applying
Is TO put the caustic in n phial with a
large mouth and pat In little water,
lust enough to dissolve the caustlc
Then ut wooden stopper OF soft wood
with lower end long enough to reach
the bottom of the phial, With this
the liquid caastlc can be applied n
few drops at a time to the knobs, with
no danger OF burning tho fingers or
getting too much on the calf 1t should
be applied before the horns get start
cd, say when the calf is n week old
Properly ono application Will Kill the
horns, Carelessly applied one may sue
coed In killing one horn while the
other will grow, and thus make a
more unsightly head than If both had
been allowed to grow,

Hereditary entailment Is not con.

1t Is now certain that all defects ara
transmissiblo and that accidental de-
formities frequently become perpetu'
ated in the progeny. But 1t Is not
alone physical deformity that may bO
entaied, Habits, popularity of tenn
per, behavior, and many singulartieS
arc transmitted with unerrlng certain
ty. Few trotting sires or trotting dams
produce speed uniformly, but the trot'
ting instinct and the disposition to do
nothing but trot Is so strongly hered.
itary in so large a proportion OF the
progeny that the absence forms the
exception to the rule. The whole prob
lem Of hercdity presents the most in
tcresting phenomena. The lessons that
are being learned from the wonders II
presents to tho material universal are
Of incalculablo value to the scientific
breeder. To him heredlty has a wide
significance. He takes advantage Of
the hereditary tendencies toward good
qualities and works from those that
bring bad forms andl compromising
progeny,
