CARPENTERS
STAND FIRM
Do Not withdraw From Building
Trades Council

At a meeting Of tho Carpanters'
union last night the proposition TO
withdraw from the Building Trades
Council was turned down cold. Only
three votes out OF $50 we're cast In
favor Of withdrawal.
A committee from the Master
Builders Association appeared be-
fore the meeting and urged ths car
penteru 90 withdraw from tho ooun-
eli for the bencfit o. all. The car
pentcrs refused TO act on the nd-
vice OF the committee as the prac-
tically unanimous vote shows.
As far as could be learned today
no master builders have as yet
locked out any union men az re-
suit OF the carpenters refusing 10
withdraw from the council.
John Megrath, president OF the
Master Builders Association. stated
this morning that no action has
been taken by the employers nAso-
citation Ia regard 90 the carpenters
or any other class Of workmen, and
that he was unable TO forecast what
might be done.
Exhaustive inquiry fails TO note
any change I'm the situation today.
Men are all working except n half
dozen inside electrical wiremen and
the sheet metal workers. Tho tile
settlers, IA In number. are not work
ing, differences with their employ
ers not having been settled.
David W. Bowen. secretary OF the
employers association. when seen
today stated that the employers
association had as yet received no
official notice concerning the action
Of the carpenters and that he could
not say when any action would be
taken by the association. as no
meeting had been announced.

Pretty Girl as Harvest Prize.

Wichita, observation-disclosures
Woolsey has succeeded in having
his 5OO-acre wheat field cut be-
fore the yellow grain grew musty.
But it cost him his daughter.
he gave her as a prize to the
young harvester doing the great
est amount of work in a specified
time. Willis Roadway, a young
mechanic from Illinois, won, and
he and Anna Woolsey were mar
ried at Pratt yesterday.
The Woolsey farm is one of
the largest in Pratt county, and
the scarcity of harvest workers
in that section weighed heavily
on the farmers mind. Then he
devised plan to give as a bride
to the hardest worker his 19-
year-old daughter She was as
dutitul as good-looking. The
men came by the score. She was
given the privilege of rejecting
any of the contestants she per-
sonally diSliked, and many we're
thus ruled out.
The contest was spirited. 1t
lasted three days, during which
time Roadway, working ten hours
a day, cut 100 acres aud wore out
three good teams.

Learning to Feed.

In no other branch of the live
stock business does weight Tor
age cut such figure as in the
hog business. A pig that is not
a good grower and gamer is M
good. His breeding on pap
may be fine, but if he is
growthy he will not satisfy
customer who is looking ora
that will breed better and grow
Ter stock. All breeders OF pu
bred stock, therefore should b
good feeders, and no ooe who isl
not good feeder should attempt
to break into the business. 1t is
well to learn to fed hogs before
spending much money for
fancy breeding stock. Many
who have failed with pure bred
stock have simply been ignorant
of the science of feeding. Itcan-
not be bought or learned except
by experience and practice. The
man who doesn't know how had
better get his experience on
grade hogs-it will cost him
less.

Farmers lose something by
not giving careful attention tc
packing and shipping their pro
duce to market. Where there
are nearby markets, anc the
farmer can haul the articles and
attend to the sales, they can cas-
ilv dispose o. their produce to
regular customers, in which
cases the ordinary hamper bas-
kets and crates serve the pur-
pose well; but when goods are
sent to distant markets, TO be
sold by commission merchants,
much depends upon their at
Effectiveness. This may be no.
ticed with California fruit, much
of which cannot compete with
that grown in this section, but
the neatness with which the Cal
lorna growers pack their fruit
lnsures for them a demand whic h
would not exist if their fruits
were shipped in a condition sim
liar to that which may be seen in
every stall in the markets, as
practiced in the east. 1t will pay
to use paper boxes and printed
tables, and larger profits can be
secured by asserting the articles
and shipping only such as pos
sesses excellent quality.

and one half inch. Taking tn
average of all the experiments
made with the various classes
of roots, we find the seed which
was planted only one half inch
deep gave the best Weld per-
acre, and as the depth for plant
ing the seed increased the Weld
decreased. The mangel seed
which was sown at a depth of
ore-half inch gave an average
yield of 25.9 tons per acre, and
that sown at the depth of one
inch gave 1873 tons per acre.
The sugar beet seed WHICH was
sown at depth of oue-half inch
deep gave about four tons peracre
more than that which was sown
to a depth of one inch. This
experiment indicates that, on
soil similar. to that on which this
experiment was conducted. root
seed should be sown quite
close to the surface, and more
particularly is this important in
the case ofmangeland sugar beet
seed.

Depth at Which Root Seed Should be
S0Wn,

In the 9th. annual report of
Ontario Agricultural College the
results are given of experiments
in planting root seeds at different
depths. AT this season the hints
are worthy ofreproduction: For
several years we have sown root
seeds at different depths in the
soil, in order to ascertain the
depth at which we might expect
to obtain the best results for a
series of years. The expert
ments have been conducted on
comparatively low land, and also
upon land of considerable eleva-
ton. The soil has been what
might be termed a clay loan, and
in no instance was it very light
or very heavy. The experiment
has been repeated for -FOUR years
with mangels, sugar beet and
Swede turnips; for three years
with carrots and for two years
with fall turnips. The cultiya-
ton has been on a level through
out. The seed of each of these
classes of roots in each of these
years were planted one half
inch, one inch, one half inches.
two incl es, three inches four
inches below the surface of the
ground. The average results Sup
to the present time, show that
mangels, sugar beets, Swede
turnlps and carrots gave the best
results from placing the seed at
the depth of one half inch, and
and fall turnips at depth of one
