stepped into the room.
She had put of coming to see him as

to Hope House. Gordon of course
asked to see her. He was growing
strong so fast that there was no reason
why he should not see her.
She came slowly into the room, and
he started to rise and walk toward her,

LABOR IN SOUTH AFRICA.

A Serious Problem Growing Out Of
the Antax"nism Of Different Races.
The labor problem in South Africa is
q serious one. The working of the
mines to the capacity at least of meet
Ing the demands Of trade is a necessi-
ty. White labor is either scarce or un-
willing to undertake the task Black
labor of the Kaff1r stripe was plentiful
b numbers, but sIothful. Compulsory
drafting Of the black man, which would
be the result OF Mr.. Chamberlain's pol
icy, was denounced as slavery. and GER
tainly it is much like It The natural
laZiness Of the kaftir aided the crusade
Of the white agitators, with the result
that the mines were short handed and
the output not nearly what it should
have been. Basutoland was suggested
as country from which black work
ers might be drafted, but again the cry
of slavery was raised. and the mine
owners on the one hand and on the
other the British government hesitated
to get itself too deeply into any race
question under any guise.
There was not enough white labor for
digging. and the Transvaalers were op-
posed to the Kafirs and the Basutos,
against whom they bad grudges born
Of the war. Under the circumstances
the mine owners have decided to hire
Chinese, and arrangements now are
being made to import many thousands
Of Asiatics- The people of Pretoria are
up In arms against this They say they
would accept the Rasutos rather than
the Chinese and have formed strong
political organization, threatening de-
struction to the government II the yell
low labor should be imported. There Is
lieve that the scarcity Of labor at the
mines has been created by conditions
deliberately made by the mine owners,
who seek some excuse for the impor-
tation of labor that can be controlled
at all times and over which the Trans
vaal natives will have no influence. If
so, it Is easy to understand why the
Chinese, who have nothing in common
either with the white men or with the
black tribes Of Africa, should have
been selected as the workers least liza
BILE to make trouble and most likely to
confine themselves to their labor The
Transvaaler Is an obstinate man, how
ever. and If the Chinese are brought
in against his protest the question Of
their deportation Will be an active one
In politics Just 50 long as the Chinese

The city stretched out before him as
when he left his fathers house, full of
human weakness, power, struggle, de-
feat, sin, selfishness. In very positive,
but not by any means fully defined,
manner he began to feel his way with
this age old problem Of humanity. He
realized that he had by no means
served his apprenticeship. Please God,
If he were granted twenty years Of
vigor he would learn something Of the
ways Of men and be used If God willed
it to play his part manfully In the never
ceasing drama. He thanked heaven
that his love for the people was more
sane and more passionate, too, than
ever. There was also an abiding peace
in his soul as he marshaled up for re-
view all the possible forces Of right
eousness In the city, sometimes sleep
ing, apathetic, Indifferent, but always
to be reckoned with. And it even stirred
his soul that the world had not yet
grown deaf to the cry Of children nor
its heart become cold to the sorrows Of
the poor. Hope was strong within him
as he felt his life forces pulsing anew,
summoning him to conflict for human
rights, for a city Of God on the earth.
And he stretched out his arms toward
the people he could see through the
window, saying. Let us love one an
other and all things will be possible"
Thus John Gordon as he resolutely
faced his future enshrined the people

Cost of PaSteurizinq,

Experiments conducted at the Royal
Experiment Station in Copenhagen
prove that If pasteuriZer is properly
constructed and properly operated it
will require about 80 lbs of steam for
heating 1000 pounds of milk. from 80
to 1S5 degrees F.. says NJ. Mortenson.
If we figure that it takes one pound
of coal to produce four pounds of
steam, to produce ninety pounds OF
steam will then require 2S pounds of
coal. Figuring coal at $500 per ton
and our butter yield Az pounds but
ter to 100 pounds milk, makes the cost
of pasteurizing one pound of butter
about one-tenth of a cent. This eX-
pense, however, is reduced consider
ably by pasteuriZing the cream and
skinned milk separately. The cream
is reduced to such a small amount
that the expense per pound will be
very little. For pasteurization OF
skinned milk the exhaust steam can
be used; this is also more satisfactory
to the patrons as milk when pasteur
lied after skimming is warm enough
to scald the cans and the milk keeps
sweet longer.

1he Strawberry Bed.

From Farmers Review: The late
frosts got the earliest blossoms, but
owing to rush the patch was not
worked over this spring, leaving
mat of plants, so the frosts were per.
maps an advantage to us, for while the
yield was less. the berries were larger.
The second week of berry time was
very warm with daily showers. hence
the fruit ripened very fast, yielding
from eight to eleven gallons daily; but
oh, SO hard to pick! by being in mat.
From a patch 1-16 of an acre in ex.
tent we gathered seventy-four gallons
OF berries, and perhaps eight or ten
quarts spoiled. Ripening as fast as
they did, few ripe berries overlooked
to-day would be spoiled tomorrow.
Ihe quality was fine, extra; and the
size on an average was very good,
some few berries as large as common
peaches-four inches in circumfer-
ence. The yield was in proportion to
$500 quarts per acre. The bed was
not mulched at all last winter or
spring; where the bed is covered with
thick foliage, it is better to mulch
lightly with straw or leaves in our
climate, if at all, excepting with late
set bed.
Now since the harvest is over.
spaces two feet wide are marked off
lengthwise Of the bed; in each alter
nate space the plants are dug out
this vacant space is to be spaded or
plowed, then mulched with stable ma.
nure as free from weeds as is possible,
Commercial fertilizer suitable to
strawberries and to the soil ir which
they are grown would be the best
possible to use, as it is free from seeds,
but we have the manure; hence for
economical reasons we shall use It
cultivating the weeds out of this path.
In addition to fertilizlng the vacant
place, unleached wood ashes will be
thickly sown over the rows of plants,
Plants will be left as they are in the
plant rows, weeds. grass and clover
being all removed, but there isn't
much Of this, only where the berry
plants are thinnest.
All runners will be kept out of va
cant rows. and straw will be put there
this winter. II put on thick enough
this will do away with weed-fghting
and also serve some protection to the
berry plants. Do not mulch heavily
with material that lies close or packs;
better risk winter killing than smoth.

Argentine Corn Crop.

The Minister of Agriculture of Ar
gentina estimates the corn crop Of
this year, now harvested, at 14S,OO0,
600, which was grown on 4.436,loi
acres of land. Last year the area un-
der maize amounted to 3,473,74G acres
and the total crop to S401S,341 bush
els, the average yield being then 24.2
bushels per acre. The increase was
27.7 per cent in the area, 80 per cent
in the average yield per acre, and 76.7
per cent in the total crop. The guam
tity Of maize available for expectation
this year is not likely to be quite in
proportion to the magnitude of the
crop produced, as considerable
amount was damaged by wet weather
and a portion of the crop was lost for
want of adequate labor to gather it
while in good condition. In many
cases cattle were turned into the
fields to eat the standing corn, owing
to the impossibility of getting labor
to harvest 1t in time.
