TEACHERS
Will Not Accept
Discount.
May Hold Another
Meeting.
The Offer Made by Library
Union.

The Summit county teachers, who
claim to have been the victims of mis-.
representations made by representa-
tives of the Chicago Library Union,
are not yet ready to drop the mat
ter, and meeting will probably be
held in the near future to take the sit
uation under advisement again and
decide what can be done.
The management of the Chicago con-
cern has written the teachers here, ac-
knowledging that misrepresentation
may have been made by its agents
but repudiate any claims against the
company on that score, as printed
statement to the contract signed by
the teachers warned them that the
company would not be responsible for
any promises made by agents, and this
the company claims exempts them
from all responsibility in the matter.
The company is willing, however, to
do what 1t can to patch things up
with the aggrieved teachers and offers
a rebate of 10 per cent. to all who will
pay the notes ten days after maturity.
They also claim to be ready to carry
out to the letter each article on the
printed agreement.
These articles include the agreement
to furnish four-years' reading course
of four departments each; to use the
influence of the union with School
Boards to advance the interests of the
teachers; to furnish new books desired
by the members at wholesale prices;
to furnish charter members of the To-
cal union the Ohio Teachers Reading
Circle course each year and at the
close of the course to give each teach
er at least seven books: the contract
also arranges for the furnishing of
scholarships in over 800 leading insti-
tutions of learning at reduction of
from Is to 80 per cent.
| In consideration of all this the teach
ers agreed to pay membership fee
of $10.50 and an additional fee of $1.50
each year of the course and also to
lend such moral support as they could
to the movement to raise the standard
of culture of the profession and to as
sist fellow members in stand for bet
| er salaries.
The teachers who have refused to
pay the notes, will not profit by the
offer of rebate, How the matter will
eventually come out, remains to be
seen. but many of the teachers propose
to fight it out to the bitter end

The Barn Door.

A good many people wonder why
their sheep suffer from colds and
"snuffles" in spite Of the good care TAX
en- to house them and protect them
from inclement weather, says National
Stockman. The trouble sometimes Is
that the sheep are too carefully housed.
They are put into a tight barn, their
bodies warm it up, and when they are
turned into the cold air or wind they
take cold. The main thing with sheep
is to keep them dry, not warm, and es-
pecially not warm and cold. Leave the
door of the barn open if it is warm and
the sheep are to run out during the
cold weather. Cool air without drafts
Is better for them than warm nights
and cold days.

white oak posts eaten off in five years;
in fact, they seem to last little, II any,

l took up Catalpa speciosa post five
inches in diameter which had been set
seven years and found that about halt
an inch of the outside had been eaten
away but the rest of il was as sound
as when it was set. The post had sea.
soned about year before 1t was set,

that it would not last more than year,

rotted about an inch deep all around.
At the same time i cut another about
the same size, six inches through. and
used it as a dividing pole between two
stalls something over a year then as
n temporary post something over a
year, and it has lain on the ground
exposed to the weather ever since, and
ii is perfectly sound yet.

almost as soft as seasoned cottonwood,

sure that it will pay any farmer tC
plant Catalpa speciosa for posts, poles
and all such purposes. 1t does not
grow any faster at the start than
Usage, but it soon outstrips the latter.
In planting catalpa one must plant
intelligently or he is sure to be disap-
pointed. When set singly, it grows
crooked and almost scraggy, and il
will be years before it will make even
short posts. To make good, upright
growth it must be planted in groves
and rather thickly. l have seen it
planted four feet apart in rows six
feet apart, and the growth was up
right and rapid while the trees were
young, and when properly thinned out

standing made satisfactory growth

an Substitute For Hny-Bewt Way Co
Handle For Bedding.
Wheat straw is the most extensively
used material for bedding IN American
farming 1t is generally used extrava-
gantly because under the system OF
ordinary farming the supply of straw Is
usually far in excess Of the actual
needs Of the stables, writes Country
Gentleman correspondent.
Scientifically wheat straw shows a
food value that should save Ii from be-
ing wasted, and practically we who
have fed animals know II is often high.

are supposed to have as much other

nutritious foods, and clean, bright
straw can be used profitably for add.

its straw substitute to leave a profit
after adding protein concentrates to

In actual practice | have made the sub

large shall cease using his straw for
bedding. for whatever feeding value
we may know II contains the fact re-
mains that we have no material on the
farm that is as cheap for bedding az
straw But do mean that we should
not use II so wastefully. Straw as it
comes from the thrasher is not a good
absorbent OF liquids. Nature made IL
strong. resistant and practically indu-
rated for its and the seeds protection,
and until the straw is crushed or cut
or its organism in some way broken II
takes up very little moisture, and as an
agent for the conservation OF liquid e1

no longer impervious TO moisture.

should not have less than six or seven
pigs at her first litter and give milk
enough to keep them growing until
they are weaned, and she should not
be cross or quarrelsome with them or

that is a fault that usually increases

CruAhed Corn.

Crushing corn seems to be satisfac-
tory for calves, colts and all young cat
tie during the average season, particu-
larly If they are being fed to the limit,
says American Agriculturist 1t is also
desirable at any season for dairy cows.
Corn and cob meal seem to be more sat
isfactory than cornmeal because of the
fact that the cob, while it has no nu-
tritive value, has a favorable effect on
the animals stomach. For steers two
years old and particularly for healthy
hogs 1t is doubtful whether any prep
ara1on of grain feed is necessary other
than possibly the shelling OF the corn
near the end Of the fattening period.

The Eject of DrnuRhfA

When drought destroys OF reduces
crops everybody pities the farmers on
the mistaken supposition that they are
the sole losers. AS matter OF fact,
Ii Is the rest Of the community that
suffer most from crop shortage. In
many cases the farmers gain rather
than lose In the high prices they get
for the crops which they do harvest.
The longest droughts rarely affect all
crops disastrously. The recent drought
in the great corn belt did not affect
the wheat at all, except to insure its
gathering in the best possible condi-
tion. The unprecedented wheat crop
will command ready sale at advanced
prices, because wheat must be substi-
tuted in limited degree for corn. The
corn that comes to maturity will com
mand high price because of its com
parative scarcity. Hay, oats and pota-
toes will all be high In price-have, In
fact, already advanced far above the
average price at this season Of the year.
The consumers pay these advances all
along the line. and the farmers profit
by them. There are few American
farmers in this day who stake their en-
tire years prosperity upon the corn
crop. The up to date farmer puts his
eggs in a good many baskets The up
setting OF one Of them doesn't leave
him without eggs TO carry to market
