VIII Abide by Decision.

Mr.. Mitchell declared with emphasis in
the course Of subsequent examination that
the miners will carry out to the letter the
decision of the commission, "or go out of
our union"
Judge Gray then announced the decision
of the commission in the matter Of the ap-
plication of John T. Lenahan and John T.
O'Brien, attorneys for the nonunion men,
to appear In the case. In the light OF all
their claims, said Judge Gray, they would
be allowed to appear, but the commission
could not consent to the Withholding from
the public OF the names Of the nonunion
men as their attorneys had desired. After
Mr.. Lenahan assented to this Judge Gray
announced that the commission would see
that no unfair use would be made Of the
names.
Mr.. Darrow insisted that Messrs. Lenahan
and o'Brien really represented the opera
tors and not the nonunion men.
Whether they be here in that way or
not" Judge Gray quickly replied, "they
represent an important element in the in
vestigation, men who work for their living
and who are interested in the findings Of
this commission. We have considered that
very carefully from all sides"
Responding to a request for a sugges-
tion as to what should be done In the mat
ter of child labor. Mr.. Mitchell said a law
should be enacted providing that after a
certain time children under IA years of
age should not be employed in the break
| ers. The only way now that the operators
| could prevent It would be to refuse to en-
ploy children until they we're IA years
old. 1t frequently happened that parents
swore falsely regarding the ages of chill

The Hog ON Western Farms.

Economical hog production is based
largely on the selection Of good breed
ing stock. This must be combined
with intelligent feeding. The most
common error is that of neglecting
little pigs at time Of weaving. Pigs
stunted at this time will never make
profitable pork. One should handle
his hogs so as to have them ready for
market at from six to eight months,
weighing at this time from 200 to 225
pounds. In spite Of the fact that corn
is frequently denounced as hog food,
it cannot be denied that it is the best
and cheapest food that is available on
western farms. Green feeds, such as
rape, clover and alfalfa are not suf-
ficiently used as food for growing hogs.
These foods not only supply nutrients
that are highly important, but they
serve to give variety to the ration,
factor that is very important and one
that is frequently overlooked. "Squeai-
ing hogs are not profitable hogs"

HusKlNG FROM THE ROW.
Common Practice In the Great Corn
States of the West.

Common Practice In the Great Corn
States of the West.
By far the most serious task in rails
ing corn is the matter Of husking it in
the field Up to date no practical ma
chine adapted to this purpose has ap-
peared Many have been tried, but
they usually fall short in some impor-
tant particular None Of them has be-
come popular, and a fortune awaits the
man who perfects thoroughly prac-
teal corn husker which will be as sue
cessful relatively as the modern husk-
er is for corn fodder, says Orange judd
Farmer.
When corn is to be huslzed direct
from the standing stalk, it should be
allowed to mature quite thoroughly,
particularly if it is of a variety with
large ears and large cobs containing
q high percentage Of moisture. Ihls
must be determined by examination.
Some sea sons husking begins the lat
ter part of September, While IN others
it is not safe to begin husking until
the middle or end of October The
variety. Early maturing kinds have
small ears and small cobs, and they
can be husked much earlier than late
maturing and large ear varieties. Corn
when when first placed in the crib con-
tains 13 to 35 or 40 per cent Of mois-
ture.
A common practice in the great corn
states is to start through the field
marking a "down" row. Husk two
rows to the left Of the wagon and the
one row that is under it. Go around
a good sized Gland" in this manner.
The next time through the field and
every succeeding time thereafter have
next the corn that has not been
husked This will prevent the neces-
sity Of picking up down row each
time and will enable the husker to do
his work
The ordinary wagon box will hold
from twenty-five to thirty bushels.
When the corn is exceptionally good,
a skillful husker will be able to more
than fill one wagon box in half day.
The capacity Of a box may be IN
creased by putting on additional side
boards. On the right side of the wagon
box it is desirable to place one or two
extra boards to act as bump boards.
The husker will not need to use so
much care in throwing in his corn,
which will enable him to do more
work. A good husl1er so gauges the
distance from the row to the wagon
box that it is not necessary for him to
look where he throws his ear.

ONE Thing and Another.

Every important potato growing state
except New York showed q condition
considerably higher than the ten year
average according to the September
crop report.
The corn crop is very late through
out the entire northern portion Of the
corn belt.
Tests of bran and alfalfa il Wye
ming in feeding milk cows show that,
though bran produced most milk, al
falfa was by far the most economical
ration.
Retarded growth and much imma-
ture corn are reported from Michigan
