WARTS ON HORSES.


T.. IT. I.ockert, Guthrie, Ky.-Please
send me a receipt for taking off warts
on horses. | have d horse that has one
on his sheth half as big as a hens egg.
/ don't know how long it has been there
on the side nc xt to his leg about half way
back, but / don't think it rubs but it
looks like il runs blood just little. if
any. Will it hurt to work him while
taking it off?
Answer--Dozens of remedies for warts
have been published in this department.
from time to time. Where it is possible
10 do so one of the best is to tie n
small strong cord (say a fishing iine)
around the wart as close to the point of
attachment as possible. Tie it pretty
tight and tighten it every day or two
until the wart drops off. Then touch the
place with little butter of antimony
In three days rub off the scab and apply
some more anthony, and SO until the
roots are destroyed.
If the wart is fiat scrape it with q DUH
knife until it blceds. When it stops
bleeding apply the butter Of anthony as
2lready directed aud repeat every third
day. Sometimes simply greasng wart
every day will destroy it. Castor oil is
good for this purpose. Pulverized blue
stone is also good. IT will not probably
do any harm to work the animal while
treating the wart. as the latter is entirely
superficial

BLIGHT OF OATS.

r. c. Smith. Nashville. Mioh.-I have
teen a reader of The Atlanta Constitu-
ton for several years and always inter
cSted in farm correspondence and Wish
to make a statement to Mi. q. q. Shuiet,
Dantzler, S G. Blight on oats and wheat
/ think the sun causes the b!lghtS on
our crops here in the spring; when 1t gets
very warm the root plant gathers more
sap than the leaf can take care Of and
Ilants: that causes the blight or rust and
kills it, Take a crop that faces tie
north or where it is shaded by trees.
IT would not be effected so much. in
forty years of farming the like has only
occurred once and it is only my opinion
and may help others to solve the cause
Answer-The blight" now affecting
oats in many sections of the south is
certainly not due to excessive heat of the
sun, for no such excess has been ex-
perienced during the month OF March,
the period in which the trouble seems to
have develoDed. In the south small grain
ripcns before the Severe heat of summer
has comc-saY the last days Of May and
the early days of June. MY own per
sonal experience OF this blight includ
ing close examination of the plants in
the field and under the glass leads me TO
reject your theory as not accounting for
the disease. The popularity Of the blight
most scarlet color Of the foliage, always
commencing at the tips of the blades.
This is accompanied by weakened,
Spindling condition of the stems, and rt-
tarded growth.

PARRY's LATEST.

He Talks of an Insurance Scheme
Against the Cost Of Strikes.
indianapolis, Ind, June 25-David M.
Parry, the Braying Ass of the National
Manufacturer Association, has been
giving some hot air to a. reporter about
a manufacturers insurance scheme
against the cost of strikes. It is to be
a mutual company, all expenses be-
ing divided among the members in pro-
portion to the number Of employees. the
membership would be kept secret. only
the officers being known.
"Organized labor will never know"
he said. when it orders strike wheth-
er it is really fighting combined capital
or merely making an onslaught on the
individual. The objects Of the company
are to protect all its policy holders
against losses arising from strikes and
also to protect Independent workmen
who care to exercise the great Amer
lean privileg of working for whom they
please and for what they please"
Under this scheme a company doing
= losing business would only have to
Join the insurance association, promul-
gate orders that will bring on a strike
and have a good thing at the expense
OF the other members.

PHILADELPHIA FIRM TURNS
DOWN TEXTILE STRIKERS

PHILADELPHIA, June 24.-For the
first time since the, inauguration of the
textile workers strike the piece work
ers and day workers of John and James
Dobson's mills at the Falls of Schuyl-
kill met Jointly today.
A committee was appointed to confer
with both John and James Dobson and
IN case OF a mona greement it was an
nounced that vote would be taken to
determine the strikers sentiment about
returning to their looms. The day
workers and piece workers are not Of
the same mind. The former constitute
a majority Of the Dobsons employees and
are opposed to the proposition of the
piece workers to return to work at IS
hours pay for SIS hour week, they de-
mand SO hours pay for IS hours work.
AS no agreement has been reached the
committee was appointed with the hope
OF making terms. The committees ef-
forts to effect a compromise are futile.
The firm refused even to grant the IS
hour week, which concession had pre-
vlously been made providing the strik-
ers did not insist on an increase in
pay The committee was informed that
the strikers could return to work when
they were willing to accept the old
terms of sixty hours a week, at an
equal wage rate. The employees decided
to continue the strike.

woman must be evolved to meet the
new condition. Hence, we find our
selves being cast like crude ore into the
furnace to be melted, cleared from
dross, forged, tempered and made
strong and flexible enough to meet the
new life that is opening for us.
The wrongs, the s,lfferings, the sor-
rows of child and woman labor are but
the furnace fires in which we must be
annea1ed. the travail of the birth into
a new social economy. The birth of a
human soul can come only by the
energy of mother; the birth Of new
economy can come but through the
travail Of the race. Ages of servitude
and dependence have so bound us about
with the cords of conventionalfty that
we could not conceive OF freedom. and
hence could not possibly be the mothers
OF a free race. The cords that bind us
would never have been broken by our
will, we had borne our chains so long
that we had grown to love them; but
with the transition from the old econ
omy to the new, women found them
selves forced out into the industrial
field to struggle for existence. In the
fierce battle for bread the bonds that
have encompassed us have been torn
asunder. True, our hearts have been
wrenched and torn, and our bodies left
wounded and bleeding. but through the
agony OF 1t all the conception OF a new
life is beginning to enter our conscious
ness. Freedom has not been sought,
but forced upon US. We have tasted OF
1t and found that4hough it must come
through suffering, 1t Is good. When
only few more women are forced out
of the home and into the industrial
struggle for existence, our bonds will
be broken and we will be At to be the
mothers of the new life, co-operators
and fellow laborers the cooperative
commonwealth.
The human mind has grown too
broad for the woman of the past. HUI
mainly is demanding today not serfs,
slaves or machines, but living, think
ing, doing, human beings. Women who
will breed and rear a race to inherit
the earth that shall soon be ours.
Women strong Of heart and brain and
physique who will stand shoulder to
shoulder and heart to heart with men
In the onward march of progress. Such
women can only be produced by the
furnace fires of industrialisrn, and
while our hearts are torn because Of
our suffering, we know that the fires
will soon burn away our bonds and
though our hands and hearts will al
ways bear the scars, our children will
be free.
We are calling today for women who
will live and love, think and act, who
will be free as the air and as life-giv-
ing as the sunshine. From the ashes
and the debris Of the past she, Phoenix
like, is rising-through the travail and
the pain she is emerging. When this
totttering, crumbling system shall pass
away she will stand forth in, all the
glory Of her womanhood to meet the
system OF fraternity. equity, justice.

BOSSES ISSUE ULTlMATUM
TO GARMENT WORKERS

CHICAGO, June 24-Fifteen thousand
garment workers of Chicago were serv-
ed by the National Association of
Wholesale Clothing Merchants today
with an ultimatum which almost
amounts to a notice Of lockout The
effect of the ultimatum remains to be
determined within the next two weeks.
Lack Of concerted action among the
garment workers is responsible for the
positive stand taken by the employers
The latter have been harrassed for
weeks by the demands Of the garment
workers for another increase In wages
amounting to about Is per cent. Con-
ferences have brought about a reduc-
ton of these demands until they
amount to little over 10 per cent in
crease, but still the situation rem aims
unchanged. Now the manufacturers
have decided to force the issue.

But, oh! I find not one.
Then a,voice beside him whispered,
Just wait a little while,
Till election day draws nearer,
For the politicians smile.
For on every hand he'll greet you,
And like the springtime clover,
He will lovingly embrace you,
Till election day is over.
Then his memory quickly fails him;
How soon he does forget,
That he has ever seen you
And wonders where you've met.
Oh! blind man Of the ballot,
like the foolish little fly
The spiders web will catch you.
And In that web you'll die,
Unless you band together
And shout with every breath,
As did our ancient heroes:
"Give me liberty or DEATH
Wake up! Wake up! Ye men of toll
And by each other stand;
Go break this chain OF slavery,
Let freedom rule our land.
Dispel this band Of capitalists
That BY their smiling face
