One argument for child labor in the
old days dwelt upon the fact that
in certain forms of work unless the
labcrers were trained at an early age
the necessary skill would never be
attained. Tac:ile precision, sight,
hearing and taste are among these.
The excessive use, however, to which
after life subject the senses brings
about the trademark abnormahries.
The shortsightedness Of scholars and
teachers is case in point. The sense
of hearing is dimmed, some times lost,

VALUE OF SUNFLOWER SEED.
A Profitable Crop for Poultry Breed
ers and One of the Best Egg
Producers Known.

No progressive poultry farm should
be without a plentiful supply of sun
flower seed. It is one of the best egg
producing foods we know of, and it
is very valuable at moulting time. IT
loosens the old feathers, gives fine
gloss to the new plumage, shortens
the process and aids the fowls to pass
through the ordeal with vigor and
health, SO that they are shape to
shell out eggs all winter, instead of
remaining idle for long time while
getting their strength back. We find
that best results are obtained by
feeding full feed about three times
a week during the period of moulting
and about twice week thereafter
BY full feed we mean handful at
night for each fowl We would not
advise giving more than this, as it is
likely to throw them into a second
moult.
1t is too expensive to buy for feed
here. as the cheapest we can get is
six cents per pound from the seed
stores, i. e., for old seed that will not
grow and which they can not send
out for, seeding purposes, but it can
be raised easily and cheaply. We
plant it the same as corn, same dis
lance apart in the rows, and cult-
vate with horse. Only one plant to
the hill, otherwise it will not do so
well, plants or stalks growing small,
and with but little seed when two or
more are together. We plant the
seed in the spring as soon as the
ground is dry enough and begins to
get warm.
We keep it cultivated until it is
about waist high, when it will take
care of itself until harvesting time.
The plants make shade which kills
out all weeds, and it is therefore q
good crop to grow where weeds have
gotten bad. It does not require q
very rich soil, as it will grow almost
anywhere, it it is not too sandy. A
fair crop is 60 to IS bushels per acre.
We gather them after the seeds have
become perfectly ripe and dry. These
are taken and threshed out by hold

NEW ENGLAND FACTORY LIFE
A Half Century's Changes in the OPP
eratives and Methods Employed
in the Mills,

When the New England factories
were established the operatives were
drawn from the families of the farm.
ers in the immediate vicinity. These
operatives felt an unusual degree OF
pride in their labor and resented the
employment of any foreigners in the
mills, to such an extent that strike
was started in one of the Lowell mills
owing to the employment of an Irish
woman as scrub woman.
| That the operatives at first were OF
very intelligent class was Evidenced
| by their conducting a newspaper
called the Offering, of which Lucy Lar
com was at one time the editor, says
| the New York Sun.
| The advent of the civil war caused
an overturn of conditions, and many
foreigners entered into mill life to
stay. The immigrants from England
first secured a foothold in the textile
esta blshments, and were followed by
Irish, Germans and French. Practi-
| cally all the unskilled labor to-day in
cotton and wooden mills is being per
formed by Armenian and Greek Ia
borers.
In the past no attention was given
to the question of ventila ton, and
when the air became vitiated, which
was practically its normal condition, a
broken pane of glass was godsend in
the winter time. The operative would
drink in through the opening some
fresh air and return to his work re-
freshed.
At the present time the question of
ventilation is one of the important mat
tiers of mill management, as, the OPP
erative will turn out more and better
work if the air in the, room is pure.
In many factorieSit was the custom
for the proprietor to go among the
male help and sell them drink of
rum, deducting the cost from their
pay. Such course would be regarded
as suicidal by modern manufacturers,
who are ever on the alert to secure as
employees temperate people.
The hours of labor, then 10 or IA,
have been reduced gradually to ten or
less by legislation.
Many Of the employees walked three
or four miles each day to work. Now
the trolley lines cover about all the
manufacturing districts of New Eng
land, and the operatives can live at a
great distance from the mills and still
be carried almost to the mill door for a
fve-cent fare.
The looms were clumsy affairs, slow
running, and one loom required all the
attention of the weaver. Now by i'm
provements in cotton looms one
weaver can run 20 or 30 high-speed
looms, and go home to dinner leaving
the looms all running. If a thread
breaks, or any accident occurs, q pat
ent stop motion stops the loom before
any damage is done.
The skilled operatives of the tex
tile mills are very intelligent, and fur

THE FORAGE QUESTION.
The Feeding Value of Early and
Late-Cut Hay COmpared-A
Matter of Economy.

One of the most common errors Is
in allowing the hay crop to become
overripe This not only reduces the
digestibility of the crop, but also
lessons. it's palatability, a fact too
often overlooked in the feeding OF
farm live stock. It would be econo-
my, in case a large amount OF hay
is harvested, to cut part of it even
before the crop is fully grown, rather
ton to become tough and woody by
standing until the seed is formed.
Late-cut grass is not only less dl-
gestible and less palatable than thai
cut while in bloom, but also requires
a greater amount of labor on the part
of the animal to make the food nutri-
ents available. The labor performed
in grinding and digesting this tough,
woody material requires much en-
ergy that otherwise might be used for
building up direct animal products,
such as meat and milk. The principal
changes which take place in grass as
it advances in maturity are the in
crease in the proportion Of woody
fiber and the storage of food materi-
ais in the seed, neither of which adds
to the feeding value Of the fodder. If
the seed is allowed to develop, most
of it is lost in the harvesting; or, il
retained, it is too small and hard to
be acted upon by the digestive sys-
TEN of the animals. The increase in
the woody fiber helps to ancase and
lock up the other food nutrients,
which are of greater value and which
might have been available before the
woody fiber had to SO great an *
tent developed. The value of hay is
chiefly dependent upon it's compost
ton and its rate of digestibility. AS
all folders develop and advance to-
ward maturity the relative proper
ton of protein becomes smaller,
while the proportions of fiji r and
starchy materials nitrogen free cx-
tract) increase. While the grasses
continue to increase in total dry
matter up to. the seed stage, the in
crease which takes place after the
blooming stage is in those parts of
the fodder Of least value TO the ami

HERE AND THERE,

The only way the grass crop can
be cultivated is by preparing the soil
in fine filth before sowing the seed.
The value of the strawberry crop
of the United States is something
enormous. It has been estimated at
$100,000,000 annually.
The only sure way of becoming
a successful poultry raiser is to be-
gin with a small flock and increase
as your experience will permit.
In many parts of Central Asia the
fear of locusts has caused the natives
to reduce the areas planted in cotton.
In some regions only half of last
years area has been planted.
Hog cholera may be prevented by
having healthy sleeping places for
hogs, and good, clean running water,
and sufficient variety in their food.
This last is a very important point.
Cotton is a very expensive crop
and very uncertain one as to any
clear profit. The seasons must be
good, the yield good and the price
good, or there will be no profit in
cotton.
Cattle will not be cheap again in
our day. The great free pastures
have been taken up out west and are
now private farms and ranches. The
future supply will have to come main
~ from the small ranches.
The worlds visible supply Of cot
ton on July 5, as reported by the New

Chronicle, was 2,42s,272 bales, as COM
pared with 2,744,9os bales at the cor

Trees az Cooling Agents,

We are in the habit of seeking the
shade of a tree as a means of getting
cool, but that is not the only power
it has of reducing the temperssure
On the same principle that lump of
ice will cool the air around it, because
its own temperature is uniformly
about As degrees; that is to say, the
temperature Of the tree as body.
This is little understood, perhaps. but
it is recognized scientific fact, and it
adds much force to the argument in
favor of planting trees in cities. A
clump of trees is capable of making
material reduction in temperature.
The woods, therefore, are cool, not
only because they are shady, but be-
cause the trees are constantly fight
ing off the heat.-Science.

Weeds.


The majority of weeds have fol-
lowed in the footsteps of man, and
have been imported to America
from other countries. Nature pro-
vides that the ground shall be COW
cred with vegetation of some kind,
and where a man has taken the best
from the soil and left it depleted, has
pastured his field until weeds have
grown and made rubbish heaps, weeds
which are peculiarly adapted to grow
under these conditions take the
place of grasses and plants, whence
they spread over the better fields of
that and adjoining farms.
Where soapy water is thrown it
will be found the grass will die and
the plantain spring up and spread
rapidly. A farmer who keeps his
fields well fed with manure, who
treats his pastures in the right way,
who burns his rubbish and who has
proper drains will find his warfare
against the weeds greatly lessened.
Yet with everything that can be done,
weeds will always exist to greater
or less extent. and it is well to see
if some of them have not a few re-
deeming traits. It will be found that
dock is a good remedy for the sting
of neetles. Pigweed will keep the
soil from washing in the fall in any
garden where it is common. Chick
weed, it is said, can be used as
weather prophet, as it expands if it
is to be fine and closes before rain
occprs. Dandeloins shedding down
when there is little or no wind is also
a sign of rain. Thistles and some
other weeds have flowers than con-
tain very sweet nectar and are good
food for bees and butterflies. Every
cloud has silver lining" So it can
be seen weeds are not altogether an
unmitigated evil.-H. E. Hassdock, in
EpitomiSt.
