ration. This reminds me Of the great
strike among the coal miners some six
or seven years ago that existed over
in Ohio and the Panhandle distr' It OF
West Virginia. The coal miners were
battling for their rights as organized
union men against the blood-sucking
coal operators that existed and exists
to-day, and while the State militia was
protecting, or pretending to protect,
their property the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers and Trainmen were
pulling trainload after ~trainload of
b~lacksheep coal, right before our eyes.
over the c., L. & w road past the
Wheeling Creek Coal Works, and still
posed as as union men. | venture TO
make the assertion that II the railroad
ers had refused to handle blacksheep
coal at that time over their respective
raods the strike would not have lasted
half as long as it did.
Mr.. Editor, /, as a member of the U.
NJ. w. OF A., am willing that all miners
in our district come put and stand by
the strikers to the bitter end but | want
to see the Brotherhood of Trainmen do
the same. and the strike will o o be a
thing of the past.

LADIES' WASH SUITS-The entire line he
prices that will move them quickly.
The Southern herald., 1901-06-07

In this position the upper part of the
sod will not decay, but will keep on
growing, sending up shoots between
the burrows, to the annoyance of the
cultivator With burrows set like
those in Fig. !, there is a constant
falling back into the furrow after the
plow has passed, which makes ex-
ceedingly bad work.
The burrows in Figs. and 3 are
well turned and the sod will be en-
tirely covered when the harrow has
passed over the land. Fig. 3 shows
how shallower plowing permits a
more complete turning of the sod.
But shallow plowing Of sod is not
generally desirable, especially if
witch grass is in it,
A good deal depends upon the plow,
as well as upon the plowman, if
furrow is to be well turned. 1t takes
skill to fashion a mold board that
will do the best kind of work, and,
unfortunate it IS, many plows have
not had skin expended upon them.
Don't buy a pillow until you know
from the work Of the same make of
plows that the "share" will turn the
furrow neatly and deftly, and that,
too. without the necessity Of con-
stant "coaxlng" on the part of the
one holding the handles. Under
good average conditions, a frst-class
plow will almost run itself, relieving
the workman of much hard labor.
Fig. 4 shows common and poor
result of using haste in plowing "old
ground" that is, ground that was

Making an Asparagu. BED.

To prepare a bed for asparagus,
take the warmest, mellowest land you
have. spade IL deep in September and
work in lots of horse manure. Also
use salt freely, say, half bushel to
square rod. You can raise the
young plants from seed, or get roots
from a gardener or some neighbor.
Set out early in spring after deep
and thorough spadng. Keep clean
and let grow two years if plants are
little, so as to get strong roots. Then
in the spring of the third year you
can begin to cut for your table. Use
a sharp knife and cut slanting. After
the middle of June let grow. Cover
well with coarse horse manure in
winter, and loosen between roots
with a fork early in the spring.-Ella
