TRADES UNION NOTES.

There are 1913 trades unions in the
city of Philadelphia
The Pattern Makers National league
has 1000 members in the United
States.
The trades union deposits in the
post Office savings bank of England
amounted last year to $3,5o0,000.
In the Colorado legislature there are
II union men, and the lieutenant gov
eEnor is trades unionist.
Eight months ago there were only
three trades unions in Niagara Falls,
now the town boasts of % organized
bodies.
A union of gold pen makers has been
established in New York city under
charter from the A. F. of L. The new
organization begins with nine-tenths
of the craft under its jurisdiction.
Nearly all the gold pen makers of the
world are in New York, and there are
not so of these skilled workers in the
United States who are outside of the
new union

One million five hundred and thirty
eight thousand seven hundred and thir-.
tyeight is the precise number of birds
estimated by the British consul in
Venezuela to have been killed last year
to provide aigrettes for ladies' hats.
When the laying season of an ostrich
begins, her first two or three eggs are
sterile, and she lays them outside the
nest, seeming to know they are useless
for Matching purposes. Then she lays
an egg about every second day, until
Is are in the nest, when she begins
Matching. Each egg weighs about three
pounds.
During the summer thrushes get up
before three o'clock in the morning,
and don't go to bed until after nine
o'clock at night; SO they work nearly
10 hours. Blackbirds are not nearly so
industrious. They only work II hours,
but during that time they feed their
little ones between 40 and 80 times

RECENT INVENTIONS.

Mats and carpets can be securely held
on the floor by an Englishman's device,
comprising vertical bracket attached
to the lower edge of the Dashboard, with
a pivoted member carried by the
bracket to engage the edge of the rug
and press it against the floor.
Motormen will appreciate new car
brake attachment, which has ratchet
working vertically instead of horizon
tally. pin being inserted in the floor
to lift the ratchet into contact with
the toothed wheel mounted on the
brake rod.
Speed of windmills is automatically
regulated by a new governor, a wind
shield being hinged to the side of the
tower, to be blown out of vertical
position as the wind increases, with a
lever adjusted by the shield to vary.the
length OF the piston stroke.
1t is not the severe freezing that in
jures the strawberry plants SO much
as the repeated thawing and freezing.
BY proper mulching in good season this
injury may be avoided.

PROTECT THE BIRDS.
They Are the Farmers Best FFieMe
and should BE Tenderly Care1
For and Housed.

There has been a great increase In
the insect pests in fields and orchards
Of late years. The farmer or fruit
yrower finds himself confronted with
the problem of how to successfully
combat these little tyrants of the held
and trees. Much has been done by
SPRAYING and much will doubtless be
done in the future, but as in most such
cases nature will doubtless supply the
antidote. She has already given us
many little helpers, but alasl. we
recognize them not. Chief among these
are birds. Sitting near nest in the
season when the parent birds have from
three to a half dozen hungry mouths
to fill, one will soon be convinced, by
counting the number of insects brought
in an hour, and estimating the number
the nest full of young will consume in
q weeks time, of the benefit the pair
of little songsters are to him. Then
let him consider that the good work
steadily increases as the young birds
grow in size and numbers, and multiply
this family by the number of nests in
his orchard and vicinity, and he will
hardly fail to realize the great benefit
the birds are to him. He will not be-
grudge the few cherries, Strawberries,
etc., that the birds appropriate to vary
their diet, and furnish balanced ra-
ton. That man, unless he is lacking in
forethought, will hardly allow the boy
with the gun to raid his premises. He
will hardly keep drove of useless cats,
nominally to catch rats and mice, but
in reality to roam about the orchards
and fields, robbing nests and Staying
parent birds. On the contrary, he will
encourage his little friends in every
way to make their homes near him. He
will put up neat little houses in seclud-
ed hooks, for such as do not build in
the trees. He will leave nothing un-
done to encourage the birds to come to
his place.
The birds are natures own remedy
for the foes of the trees and fruit. If
we make of ourselves, through ig-
norance or worse, an ally of the pests,
we can only expect what we deserve
to suffer the penalty. 1t may be great
accomplishment to be able to bring
down a bird on the wing, but it is the
act of a fool nevertheless, if he who does
it happens to be farmer or fruit rails

THE ROADS TO WRINKLE TOWN

Have you ever heard OF the many roads
That lead to Wrinkle TOWN.
Or talked with the people who every day
Travel them up or down?
There are numberless roads and Wise folks
ten
OF some, nor glad nor fair.
Like wearisome paths to the mountain top
gtorm-blighted, cold and bare.
Now, some Of these roads are winding, 'tia
said
Some broad. like great highways:
While others are steep and abruptly end
Like showers on April days;
And journeying over these desert tracks
Throng thousands old and young.
The lowly OF earth. the wealthy. the great.
Are found the crowds among.
Name anger and scofing and cruel hate,
Name naughty boastful pride,
And count the self-seeking and eager greed
OF avarice, beside;
Then reckon the malice and envy and fret,
That linger through the days
And you will know how to reach Wrinkle
Town.
Fer these are constant ways.
But why should we follow these roads 50
drear
That lead where sadness broods,
When others are open whose ends invite
To gladsome, happy moods?
Now ponder this trutn-be the willing steps
However cast or led
The face will discover and show their
trend
Reflect the paths we tread.

vocate.

thus making holes from which the
fodder can be obtained. The animals
then feeding from the rack waste no
food, and, unlike the ordinary rack or
manger, the strong cannot very easily
drive the weak away from it. If any OF
the lambs or calves are disposed to light
over their food, however, a stake driven
about foot from the cask and opposite
the whole slaves, is pretty sure to re-
suit in the weaker ones obtaining their
requisite allowance. The barrel is cas-
lily filled, and the fodder, hay or stra"
may be fed from it with practically no

other side of the ditch to pull the shovel
by means of pole fastened by wire
to the base of the shovel handle. The
picture makes it very PLAN. The old
ditcher who got up this idea is an Illi-
nois man and finds it great help, es-
pecially where the soil is heavy. He is
a man who does ditching by contract,
and who therefore knows what he is
talking about. He says that two men
working in this way will accomplish as
much as three men working with shov-
els in the ordinary manner.-Orange
Judd Farmer.

THE cow IN WINTER.
Immense Loss Is Caused Every Year
by Cold Barns and the Lack
of Warm Water.

The investigation made by the Kan
sas experiment station of the cream
cry business of the Meridian creamery
revealed the fact that there was one
man that sheltered his cows in winter
by two wire fences, another by wood
lot, and still others by wind breaks.
Out of So patrons there were IS, or %
per cent. that compelled their cows to
drink ice water from a creek or pond
in winter.
When we stop to think that the
dairy cow. unlike the steer, has a thin
hide, with little or no fat beneath the
skin and poor surface circulation, we
can understand one of the reasons
why the yield of some herds is SO low.
The dairy COW is a very sensitive ami
NAL, and when she is forced to keep
up animal heat and to stand shivering
while having her fill of ice water she
certainly cannot be expected to make
a very good showing at the milk pail.
Very few people realize the loss sus-
tanned from cold barns. In an expert
ment carried on in New England it
was found that with a herd of 80
cows the profit was three pounds or
about SIS per week more when the
temperature of the barn was kept at
63 degrees than when at SO degrees.
AT this rate it would not take long
for herd of good dairy cows to paw
Tor barn. The barn should be tight
enough SO that the animal heat of the
cows will always keep the manure
from freezing.-D. H. Otis, in Rural
World
The Jamesburg record., 1900-02-24
METHODS HAVE CHANGED.
Calves Are No Longer Given Fre.A
MILK, Which Was am Expensiv.
and Hl-Advfsed Practice.

In earlier days, when farmers kp.r
little concerning what is now the corr.
mon possession of nearly every faru
worker, it was the practice to perm;,
young calves to suck at least two teats
and sometimes three of the four. tba
milkmaid or milkman taking what was
left. Calves in those days were NO bat
ter than they are now, yet they re-
ceived more milk, or, at all events. rich.
er milk. Practices have changed. Every
saving means much in this age. Vast.
of valuable material of any kind must
be checked il any profit is to be realized.
Calves are no longer given milk fresh
from their dams, drawn by their own
mouths. Twentieth century calves ara
raised on skimmilk which contains all
the elements of life-sustaining food
only the butter fat having been re-
moved.
Skimmilk, judiciously fed, gives as
good results fed to calves as are OBJ
served in calves sucking their dams.
This argues the lack of business tact and
good judgment on the part of the farm
er who, knowing it, persists in allowing
his calves to suck the COW. If, however.
the calves are to be raised without the
cows how are they to be fed the skim
milk? This question arises in the mind of
theintelligentd dairy farmer atthe outset
and offers an opportunity TO give few
general hints. After the calves are able
to stand up and get around fairly well
they should be placed in warm, COM
Portable quarters, fully protected from
hogs and cold, and their first ration
should consist of some warmed skim
milk. Trouble may at first be expert
enced in inducing them to drink it and
it may be necessary to dose them with
a spoon. But this will not last long.
Soon they will learn to drink the milk
from clean trough. After they have
reached this point but little trouble will
be had with them. Increase the guam
tity of milk as their ages advance and
their appetites seem to warrant.
To ascertain the value of the hand
method as compared with the mother
method let COW or two raise calf.
Compare gains in weight and conforma-
tion with that of the cow-raised calves.
The results will prove that after the
calf has been delivered in good shape
there is no further practical use for
the cow.-Farmers' Voice.

GEN. DE VETS CLEAN SWEEP
Immense Importance of the Re.
cent Boer Victory--Burshers
Fight on Open VeIdt.

London, June ID, 3:20 a. m.-The Boer
government is issuing news cheering to
its sympathizers. The following bulle-
tin, the Boer version of the disaster to
the Derbyshires, was posted by Presi-
dent Kruger:
"On June 7 four divisions OF burghers,
commanded by Steenkammp Frineman,
Duploy, Fourie and Hell, attacked the
British at Roodeval, Killed 200, took 700
prisoners and captured immense stores
of food and ammunition, Maxim and
1000 lyddite Shells Some food was
taken and the rest burned. The English
mail was taken. The Beers attacked Oh
open veldt and gave evidence OF unpre-
cedented bravery"
General De Wet was also fighting oo
June Q, whether at Roodeval or else-
where is not clear, but the Boer war Of
nce gives it out that he captured 5000
suits OF cloting, bla .kets, gloves, boots,
etc.
Being un bile to carry them with him
in his rapid sw sep through the country.
according to the Transvaal war office, he
burned the whole mass
General De Wet also reports that he
put 1000 out Of action and destroyed
property valued at 100000.
As Lord Methuen is officially described
as ,hting on June 7th, it 10 possible
that he was engaging General De Wet at
that time.
Immense offers have been made to
Botha ard Delarey to lay down their
arms and President Kruger expects the
same kind OF offers to be made to him
self. and to President Styne and General
Do Wet.
1t is believed the British make these
offers to close the war, going on the prin-
ciple that it would cost less than to fight
it out.
