''The leaders should not hesitate in call
ing the strike off, so that the men who
are anxious could find work Many of
them will be rehired in packing town,
but there are thousands who must look
elsewhere for employment and they
should be released SO they can begin
their hunt for work outside the stock
yards. It does not make any difference
what peace proposal the strikers have to
submit, we shall not deal with the
unions. The only terms of surrender we
shall consider will be the return of the
men as individuals"
May Call Strike Off.
The packing house teamsters will meet
tonight to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of de-
claring the strike off, so far as they are
concerned. George F. Golden, president
of the union, said that they would refuse

the 10000 strikers.

proposition the council adjourned with
out taking action. The labor representa-

Willing to Accept Old Wages.
It is understood that the peace pact
which the leaders have prepared, pro-
vides that the men shall be taken back

Work is Being Li2htened.

To hear the steam thresher whistle
in the morning sends a thrill through
the heart Of the old farmer who has
spent so many years working around
the thresher. To the average small boy
it has nothing but delight. To the
housewife it brings remembrances of
hot times over the kitchen cook stove
In the past few years all the work
has been lightened more or less. Self
feeders, self-measures and wind-stack
ers have taken away a great deal of
the hard work, and now the gasoline
stove removes a great deal of the bur-
densome heat in the kitchen.

One of the Russian Volunteer Fleet
Steamers Has Been Stopped by
English Cruiser.

London, Aug 29.-7:10 p. NIT is
stated on good authority that the British
cruisers sent to search for the Russian
volunteer fleet cruisers Smolensk and st.
Petersburg have overhauled at least one
of these vessels. The utmost reticence
is maintained at the admiralty and at
this hour no official confirmation Of the
statement has been given out.
The Russian government has given as
surances 70 Great Britain that there is
absolutely no ground for the charge that
the Russian warships are discriminating

Getting Stand of Clover.

Many failures to secure a catch Of
clover are wholly due to the attempt
being made on soil that contains too
much acid, sour soil, as we call it.
fFhe remedy is, of course, lime, and
this may be applied after testing the
soil with litmus paper, as advised in
this department many times. That
there ought to be more clover grown
on farms than there is no one will
deny, and if this is admitted why not
get the soil il the necessary condition

Utilizing a Few Acres.

There are many people in farming
districts possessed of a few acres of
land in fairly good filth who do not
know how to utilize them to adyan-
tage. Surrounded as they are by large
farms, they have an idea that there
Is not land enough to make anything
out Of it. While it is true that local
conditions have much to do with what
this small area can best be used for,
IN a general way it Is safe to say that
II the owner will do some Intelligent
studying he can find way Of making
even few acres profitable. OF course,
much depends upon the man and his
resources. If one is naturally inclined
to fruit-growing, knows something
about the business, and is near a fair
" good market, he ought to make the
few acres bring him golden returns.
The same with poultry raising. In
other sections it might be the best
plan to turn the small area into
meadow, particularly if it was suited
to grass and labor was high and hay
brought a good price. All things must
be considered in attempting to make q
small area profitable with crops, but
it can be done if one will work out
the problem with intelligence.
