Theory Versus Fact.

The union man of today can see no far
ther than the length Of his arm. So long
as he can keep his hand In the pocket Of
his employer he is happy. Having no
conception as to the effect OF enhanced
prices, Of higher cost Of productions, he
has no, fear Of killing the goose which
laid the golden eggs, of running the In
dustry by which he obtains his living.
And who can doubt that ruin-or at least
disaster must follow If unintelligent. in-
experienced labor shall be permitted to:
assume the functions Of that capital
which has built up and successfully con-
Quoted the great enterprises that afford
employment and the means Of subsistence
to thousands DRY Goods Economist.
. Passing over the first two sentences
of the above as unworthy Of comment.
how does the disparag cement Of labor's
ability to conduct Industries agree
with the oft repeated assertion that
nine tenths Of the captains sof Industry
have come UP from the ranks? The ac-
tual management Of a vast ma ority of
the Industries in this country is in the
hands Of men who have acquired their.
skill and efficiency as workers. Capt.
tai I goes to Europe or export to have
q good time, leaving agents behind
to collect and forward the dividends
that labor creates with Its brains as
well as its muscles. .S 8

FARMERS MUST
STUDY CROPS
Success Comes to the TiUer Who
Profits by His Nei9hbor's Mis-
takes Other Farm Notes

No farmer can progress unless he is
willing TO study and learn. In all oc-
cupations theory is mighty factor, for
education is considered essential to
success. The farmer Of today who main
tains that only practical farming is
worthy of his consideration, and who
believes that his sons can learn all that
IS necessary about farming on the farm
itself, daily witnesses the sons of those
outside of farming deriving knowledge
lat Institutes, in which instructions in
mechanics are impaired. The best en-
gineers, machinists and wood-wOrkers
endeavor to enter their sons in schools
or colleges at which they can be taught
all that is possible from a theoretical
standpoint The farmer has kept him
self back by his opposition to theoreti-
cal farming, the book farmer" being,
to him, one utterly destitute of knowing
anything except to expend his money
foolishly in the effort to accomplish an
impOssibility. The farmer, however, is
close observer of operations, for.
wlhile he will not become a pioneer, and
gives no encouragement to those work
| ing outside of practical lines, he quick
! ly secures the benefits derived through
/ the efforts of the experimenter. Of
course, all farmers are mot alike, for
some of them are progressive; but
many prefer to wait for developments.
and when they become convinced that
a change in the methods of farming is
necessary, will accent the inevitable
and endeavor to improve. The class

sacrifices in the effort to improve the
breeds of live stock, the greatest OBJ
stacle to progress being the indifference
of farmers. But the breeders went on
with their work, every year witnessing
an advance in the improvement OF
horses, cattle, sheep, and swine. Rec
ords were made and live stock went VI
in prices, and where before an anima
was sold at only a nominal sum, prices
rose ten to a hundred-fold. While the
farmers were oblivious to the work o.
the breeders, the latter class was max
ing rapid headway. Today hundreds
of farmers are breeders, and their farml
, are operated on the most scimtif,
methods known. The result of tn
combination of practice and THEORY hal
increased the value of live stock in tn
United States to thousands where form
! erly the figures were given in hundreds
and the Increase in the yield of crop
d has also been very marked. What j
r more important, however, is that tn
fertility Of the farms is now muc

Notes About the Farm.

A well-regulated garden cannot be
considered complete unless it contains
a selection of some of the principal var
ieties of sweet, aromatic herbs for vege-
tables and other dishes. Some of them
are really Indispensable, and almost all
herbs are serviceable in various cul-
mary operations. In most gardens the
herbs are found to occupy some out-of-
the-way situation, smothered with
weeds and grass, and it is very fortu-
nate if a variety or so canbe found when
wanted for use. Although herbs in
general can be grown in almost any
soil or exposure, they should not be
placed under trees or in shaded situa-
tions. They love a moderately en-
riched deep soil Along the sunny side
Of the garden fence is as good a situa-
tion as any. A little patch of a few
plants Of the principal kinds will fur
nish an abundance of fresh herbs for
an ordinary sized family, as well as a
supply for use in a dry state. To Sc
cure them in the greatest perfection for
the latter purpose they should be cut
on a dry day. just before they COM
mence TO bloom, tied into small punches
and hung up i'm tho shade to dry.

remedy of thinning out the fruit on

If ramstorms come just as the wheat
is in blossom the water is APT to wash
off the pollen and make some seeds
missing in the places where they should
be. 1t is generally the upper portion
Of the.ear that is thus destroyed. Quite
often a crop that looks to be good will
be lessened one-third to one-half in
threshing. Some varieties have more
open heads than others, and are, there
fore. muic liable to injury fror' Ia S
cause. The Mediterranean wheat very
rarely sets as many grains as the head
has room for; but with dry weather
when the wheat is in blossom, it some
times does so, and large crops are then
produced.
