Jack spent the period Of his masters

in fact, sulked all the time.

This led me to keep up the prac-

might be termed their language, and
the consequence is a peculiar adapta-

Mr.. Woods said that birds have al
most language Of their own.
"Of course" he continued. 'any
method for the interchange Of thought
or feeling is language; but the birds
have systematized series of sounds
which convey definite ideas. They
have their mating or love language. an

which proclaims and expresses ideas

New York, Sept 5.--Labor Day 1904,
presents many interesting facts and
conditions both to employers and EN-
ployes In New York city, as compared
with the same period year ago, says
the Herald. Within Ave months be-
tween April / and September /, this
year, losses in wages to workinsmen
in New York city from strikes and
lockouts have been more than one
third less during the same months last
year, and the losses to employers have
been correspondingly smaller.
In all Of the 1904 strikes, except
possibly in the building trades, the
outcome has marked a decided step
towards the "open shop" and In sew
eral instances the employers have
achieved a decided victory, the strik-
ing union men having returned to
work side by side with non-union en-
ployes This was especially noted In
the strikes Of the marine workmen
machinists, tailors and the butchers.
In 1903 the building trades strike
was the most stubborn and disastrous
ever known in that branch Of indus
try IN New York city. During the
season 81 unions of skilled machinists,
comprising 10000 men, were idle most
of the time. involving loss of 1.T07,-
900 days work and s6,675.000 in wages
The loss to builders and members ag-
gregated more than 100000 900. In ad-
dition to this last year. more than 25.-
900 laborers were idle much of the
time, including 10000 unskilled work

Buying From Local NurserIes.


Prof. l.. B. Judson. OF the Univer.
sity of Idaho, says: There are several
advantages in buying your trees Of
local nurseryman. Many large firms
get out attractive catalogues In sew
eral eolors, and employ literary talent
to write up their wares in choice Ian.
guage; and though there Is often no
deception sought in this, yet these at
fractions should not blind the fruit
grower to the advantages of buying
near home. In the first place, the local
nurseryman's trees are grown under
the same climatic conditions and very
likely in the same kind of soil that you
have in your own orchard. The trees
have become acclimated, and will sur
fer no violent changes when trans
planted to your land; the very fact
that they have withstood the rigors OF
the climate and made good growth In
the nursery argues equal success for
you. Furthermore, 1t is generally pos
sible to visit the local nursery in per-
son and make the acquaintance OF the
proprietor, when business can be con-
Quoted on friendly basis hardly pos
sible by letter. 1t Is only human ma
ture that man should strive more to
please you under these circumstances
than as a mere stranger. Being on
the ground, too, you can select from
| the entire stock, instead OF having
| your order filled from the first that
| comes to hand. Then the trees can
be delivered without boxing or baling,
which not only means added expense,
but more or less maltreatment Of the
stock. When it is packed, the roots
and tops are usually severely pruned,
so as to make the bundles more COM
pact and slightly; and there are always
the dangers Of drying out and freez-
ing during transportation. The avoid
ance OF the long haul must be reck-
oned one Of the chief advantages Of
buying at home. 1t is often better to
| order in the fall, as the stock Is then
more complete than in the spring, and
you can see that the trees are heeled
| in properly for the winter, instead,
perhaps, of being placed in some sort
| of cold storage. Travelling agents are
as a rule less reliable than the home
| nurserymen, because the latter have
| invested in a local business and be-
come more or less of a fixture in the
community, and must please their
customers If they expect to make the
investment pay. The travelling man
is less responsible, for II he fools you
and your neighbors once he can pocket
the profits and seek pastures new"
for future operations. On large Or
ders, too, the saving of the middle
| mans profit Is quite an item.

Specifications for Farm Drains.

The matter of specifications for the
construction of tile drains is in my
opinion very important, although al
most universally neglected, says Pro-
fessor Marston in a book on drainage
investigations. Every engineer ought
to prepare and always keep on hand
regular printed specifications and
forms of agreement between land own.
err and tile contractor, with blank
spaces for filling in particular names
and adding special clauses as individ-
ual pieces of work may demand, and
he ought to furnish copy of such
printed forms with each set of plans
he prepares. At present there is too
often only a general verbal agreement
between the land owner and the ditch
err. There is no way to enforce good
work in all particulars, and too often
disputes and dissatisfaction regarding
the agreement and the work arise
which could readily have been pre-
vented had there been written speci-
fcations and agreement.

SpeItz or Emmer.

Up to the present time spring sown
speltz has given better returns than
the fall sown on the farm of the Okla
homa experiment station. There are
known varieties, however, that are
well able to withstand the winter and
are even quite hardy in that respect
as well as drouth resistant. In tie
fall OF 1902 one plat was seeded to
speltz. The soil was in excellent con-
dition and the seed terminated mod
erately well, but the plants made a
very slim growth during the fall and
the major portion of the crop was de-
stroyed by the frosts of winter. Last
season two plats containing one acre
each were seeded to this crop. The
seed was sown October 20 and the
plants made a fair growth on both
piats up to the winter season. Inc
cool dry weather during the winter
months was very severe oil the crop.
The plants on one plat went back to
such an extent that it was necessary
to reseed it in the spring. On the re-
naming plat the stand was very light.
The yields for this season are given
in the table below:
Grain, blu. Straw, tons Test
Treatment. per A. per A. per bu
Fall sown. SO 80 ZIP
Spring sown.9.8 .6S 24O
The yield of grain per acre was fig
ured on basis of 80 pounds per bush
ell. In this test the spring sown speltz
gave the largest yield OF grain pei
acre. The quality of the spring sown
crop was inferior to the fall sowL
Weeds came up very thick in the fall
sown speltz and this, of course, in
creased the yield of straw per acre
on this plat. 1t should also be noted
that very heavy rains occurred at the
harvest season and this had a ten
dency to decrease the yield per acre
to quite an extent.
Experience with this crop on the
station farm would lead to the opinion
that very little, If any, pasture, can
fall and winter months. 1t may be
possible to obtain, in the near future
hardy varieties that will furnish a
fair amount of pasture, but Tor the
present wheat will give far better
satisfaction In this respect.
The Hessian fly has given us nc
trouble whatever in this section. The
insect works on wheat, rye and barley
and probably will also work on speltz
the latter plant belonging to the same
genus as wheat. One authority states
that though none Of our wheats are
exempt from attack, those varieties
with large, coarse, strong straw are
less liable to injury than weak-strawed
slow growing varieties. Speltz has a
very stiff straw, which is much in its
favor so far as insect attacks are con.

Variations In Seedlings.

Fruit trees from seed vary enor.
mously and the higher the develop
ment the greater the variation. The
ones that have not been developed
at all produce seed that to a consider.
able extent give trees having some
uniformity of shape and fruit. But
even then no two are exactly alike.
Variation Is practically universal.
More than this, IL a thousand seeds
are planted and a thousand trees
grown from them, even the fruit on
all the trees will differ from every
other tree. If any one fruit proves to
be exceptionally good, 1t can be pro-
pagated only by grating or budding.
1t cannot be propagated by planting
the seed from its fruit. The work OF
man through planting of seeds has
not been very greatly successful. Mil
lions and millions of seeds have been
planted and few good trees and vari-
cites have been obtained from them:
but for the most part, we have STUN
bled onto the varieties that have
proved to be the most valuable. A
good many of the fruits that are to.
day regarded as standard have been
stumbled on by accident and many
of them are Of unknown origin. Chance
has played large part IN the devel.
opment of cur fruits and berries, but
man has selected the best ard has

Without doubt nature has been pro.
ducing fine varieties for myriads of
years, but man was not near to find
them and take advantage of the work
that nature was doing. Here and
there a Seeding grew into a tree bear.
ing remarkable fruit; but in time the
tree died and the seeds of the fruit
either never succeeded in producing
trees at all or produced only such as
were of no more value than the gen
eral ancestry.
1t is not, however, best to ask Ma.
ture to do all the work. Horticultur-
lists can keep lookout for the sports
that may come from Natures work
but man himself may take a hand in
the game with some chances of sue
cess. In addition to planting seeds
and testing the seedlings, man can
cross hardy varieties with those of
high quality and now and then get a
result that will prove valuable.
At the present time a good deal OF
this latter work is being done with
the hope of getting varieties that will
resist the attack of insects and fungi.
