An incident which reflects great
credit on the labor organization of the
country occurred at the late convention
of the American Federation of Labor
in Louisville, KY. The National
Liquor Dealers association came be-
fore the convention with a formal pro-
iposal that the two bodies form an Of
fensive and defensive alliance. The
liquor dealers were ready to agree, in
the event of this coalition, to employ
only union ~bartenders and walters, and
to sell union-made beer. For a time
it looked as if they might persuade the
labor men, but a delegate from Illinois
arose, and in a stirring speech recalled
the influence of Miss Frances E. Will
lard on behalf of organized labor, and
urged the convention in her name to
reject the proposition. When the vote
was taken its was almost unanimously
against the alliance. The Knights OF
Labor have also taken the same ground
"a course which will add more
strength to the organization than
would be a million dollars in its treas
ury.

Peat Bog Pasture and Meadov.

Feat BOG PASTURE and Meadow.
From Farmers Review: The ulti-
ity and great value of a peat bog in
a large pasture for cattle are not gem
orally understood. l have noticed nu-
merous. such bogs in my travels by
rail and wagon. Often they are sur
face ditched until a fall of 5 feet to
the mile is obtained. Cattle will
tramp the ditch bottom in hot weather
to cool their feet and muddy their
tails to switch flies. They will SO
tramp its bottom that the next strong
shower will carry off the loosened soil
until hard-pan or hard rock is reached.
Retramping will make pits in the
stream, which soon become little wa
terfalls and later large ones, until the
recoil OF falling water undermines the
water course.
Bog pasture has much alluvial de-
post among it's peat, producing a
fodder that is astingent and that will
counterfeit any acrid plants that may
grow in other parts of the field. AS
meadow bog land is the most produce
tive known to me. The hay on it is
astingent and absorbent and for
barn use where bran is. fed plenti-
fully cannot be equaled for fibrous
growth, especially for growing ami
mails. To be profitable such hay must
be cut before it is done growing. 1t
will then be eaten clean. If allowed
to reach full maturity it's value is
lessened. If it be cut in its most
vigorous growth, the roots will still
be active and will soon cover the soil
again with sweet new grass, which
will catch the moisture that comes
up from below, keep the sun from
scorching the roots and make an after
math big enough to NOW.
When a young man on my fathers
farm, / was employed with a team to
draw clay from a large cowyard,
which contained much latent clover
seed, and spread it thinly over a peat
field, to make what we called a Cow
hospital" Here were kept such COWS
OF a nervous temperament as were
troubled with dysentery. When they
were considered cured of their trouble
and their usual flow of milk was re-
stored, they were returned to the
herd. clean, lively and with hair
glossy curled by COW ticks. Farming
now in Iowa we get the same results
from similar sources. We have N
larged our pastures with the above
results in hay and grass. In times of
drouth they are extra good, the bog
sponge supplying moisture all the
summer, if never allowed to be "bare
bottom or cut late to let the sun
shine dry the grass roots.-Richard
Baker, Jr.

turai department is engaged in draft
ing a working plan looking to the con
servation of the timber or a tract of
$780, 900 acres in the neighborhood Of
Millinocket, Me-, belonging to a pri-

a general policy to be ~inaugurated by
the department for the conservation Of
timber land throughout the United
States to secur a perpetual crop Of
timber in the various areas under con-
sideration. The private concern will
pay all expenses of the work save the
salaries of the government experts,
who are directed by Prof. Clifford Pin
chot, chief of the division.

Ammonia Test of Pari. Green.

Paris green dissolves freely and
wholly in ammonia, becoming a beau
tiful blue liquid; while a majority of
the substances formerly used in adul-
terar:ng Paris green are insoluble.
This. therefore, is a. very ready means
of recognizing most Of the crude forms
of adulteration. If upon treatment
with ammonia any of the material falls
to dissolve, the same Is adulterated.
This test, however, is not conclusive.
since white arsenic and a number OF
other substances used in a~dulterating
Paris green, especially in these later
years, are soluble in ammonia ana
would escape detection if this method
alone were depended IN. Ammonia
then affords valid grounds for reject
ing a sample if any portion of 1t is
insoluble; but other rneSals must be
used to be sure of it's purity, even If
apparently pure by this test.

AS a general thing farmers do not
make enough use Of clover about the
hen yard and nests and in the feeding
of the fowls. How many go to the
trouble of cutting dry clover for any
such purposes? Yet in nearly all
cases it is far ahead of chair, even for
packing purposes. If cut fine 1t makes
a good center for the nests of laying
hens and a still better center for the
nests of sitting hens. It is far prefer
able to whole straw In which the
young chicks may become entangled.
Some egg sellers use cut clover for
packing eggs that are to go by express
using the cut clover in the part of the
package containing the eggs and using
excelsior only on the outside to sep
arate the eggs from the outside of the
packages. Some chicken raisers use
cut clover on the floor of the brooder
and say it is superior to sand or dirt.
