THE u1Rrp MAN,s wAsHINc.

A farmers wife wishes to know just
what Is meant by the term washing"
as applied to the contract made with
the hired man. Does it mean starched
collars, cuffs and boiled shirts as well
as work clothes, with darning and
mending included? We do not consider
ourselves an authority on this point,
but IL we were in this lady's place we
would pack up all his fine clothing in
q nice bundle and tell him that he
could take 1t to the city laundry and
would give him needle and some yarn
and tell him to darn his own socks or
else buy new ones when they got too
holey to wear. Hired men with pajamas
and dress linen may be the common
thing as our agriculture develops, but
today few women care to look after
this line Of goods in the wardrobe Of
the hired man. There Is only one ex-
ception, and that Is where the hired
man is In every way eligible as hus-
band for one of the girls, and then 1t
will pay to do his washing just as one
Of the family. Ordinarily wamus, a
pair Of overalls, two pairs of socks and
Iightshirt work shirt and suit Of
underwear would be construed as a
liberal definition of the term wash

sHIPLoADs OF RAW MATERIAL.

Ninety-seven thousand immigrants
arrived in this country during the
month of March. Most of these people
were very poor, with only just enough
money to dodge the pauper clause Of
the, immigration laws. They were u
mixed and low grade lot, largely the
hapless victims OF effete monarchies,
compulsory military service, heredi-
tary poverty, a system OF confiscating
taxation and oyerpopulation. They
will largely center In the cities, glut-
ting the tenement sections, and f1lstinc-
lively become at first the gathcrers and
users of the wastes, the garbage, the
odds and ends; they Will drift into the
sweat shops, join the army OF peddlers,
only the very few going where their
unskiiletf labor is wanted-out into the
country. They will seek and stick to
their kind, their church and add to the
already densely populated settlements
of foreigners. which are becoming SO
grave problem in our larger munich
palities.

TWO KINDS OF POOR SEED CORN.
There are two kinds of poor seed
corn--one which is dead and will not
germinate at all; another, corn which
has been so injured that its germinat-
ing power is weak and which can only
send up a scrub stalk which cannot
produce an ear, this the common bar
ren stalk which may be found in all
our corntields. or the two kinds of
poor seed the last Is the worst for it
takes moisture, sunshine and fertility
which could be profitably used by its
more thrifty fellows. Then such bar
rem stalk always manages to throw out
a tassel and so sheds its weak and de-
graded pollen ON its better bred neigh
bors. A surprise awaits any corn
grower who will take the trouble to 60
through his corntleld and take single
row through the field and find out for
himself just how many missing and
barren stalks there are, even where
there seems to be fair stand He
will very quickly discover that with a
good and even stand he can easily
largely increase his yield of corn.

given right to protect itself.
Whether it is labor Of the factory,
the mine, the counting room, the
printing office, or labor on the
farm, the same inalienable right
exists. The factor in creating,
in remodeling, in making whole
some for the human body, in
making beautiful for the eye or
pleasant to the taste, is the funda-
mental factor, and the mere fact
of its primary position in the or
der of life should make it first in
line of protection, and the divi-
sion of returns from successful
results. This is the natural view
point of all well-meaning, honest,
and equitable men. But there is
an element in the commercial life
of the wQrld--a barnacle rather,
that has engrafted itself on the
produce of the earth-a sapsuck-
ing, unholy, goddess thing, that
holding up and gorging itself ON
labor's portion. This thing is
the soulless, non-producing, con-
sclenceless speculator or gambler
in farm products. IL is ill-gotten
gains turned loose to the detri-
ment of the producer. 1t is the
wealth Of the inequitable thing
manipulated to throttle equity.
Boards of trade as now run are
the DEVILS work shop engaged in
forging profits for the non-produc-
ing class from the results of hon
est labor. 1t is the greatest
blight in the body economic-a
danger that threatens the very
life of the farming industries of
America. 1t is bold, fearless,
devilish power that often defies
the laws of the municipality and
the State. 1t has no base in JUS
tice and honor, and exists simply
because of the Indifference and
former neglect, of the one power
that can dethrone 1.-THE grand,
majestic, sweeping strength of
cooperative production-of or
ganized farm interests and farm
labor. Its injustice has grown be-
cause justice has been blinded ;
it's inequity has been tolerated be-
cause there were none who raised
the cry for equity; because the
individual farmer was impotent in
his feeble strength.
This is the condition that has
obtained uuder inaction, the nat
ural result of indifference and neg
lect on the part of the producers.
1t is fattening of the unworthy,
while the deserving ones, those
who have all along been putting
forth their strength, laboring hon,
estly and continually on the farm,
have grown lean in purse and
crib. 1t is illustrative of the OLD
proverb of Saving at the spiggott
and wasting at the bunghole. .

the market to his own selfish
ends, after allowing the farmer an
inequitable portion. And thus
has come about the hold up of la
boris portion. In this way has
inequity all along prevailed, until
now, after realization Of the un-
favorable conditions, an awaken
ing on the part Of the producers
that is becoming general--co-oper-
alton and organization--is begin
ming to obtain, where it should
have been in existence years and
years ago. A demand is now be-
ling made by the farmers for a re-
lease of labor's portion, and an
equitable distribution of the re-
wards of honest industry and
thrift.
This ls the purpose of the
American Society Of Equity. 1t
has for its chief object the better
ment of the producing class; the
advancement of the farmers in
terests in every Legitimate man
ner; and this without making war
on any honest enterprise in any
other field.
No purpose, however, can be
accomplished without the hearty
cooperation and support of those
most vitality interested, fact
that makes it incumbent on the
farmers to adopt active measures
to strengthen themselves, TO or
game and cooperate in the mar
keting and distribution of the
products of their farms.
The question, the agitation and
the demand for equitable prices is
now vital issue--one on which
the farmers everywhere can, and
must, unto to their mutual bene-
fit. The issue is sharply defined,
and the fight is now on. Labor's
portion in the returns for the pro-
duce of American soil is now at
stake. A long pull and strong
pull is now being made to rescue
the farmers crops from the grip
of the gamblers, and it needs only
united effort to succeed. Let la
Dor hold back her portion at once !;
let the men who grow the crops
store them at home as largely as
possible, thus letting the market
manipulations waste away for the
want of substance, and the vic
tory will be won. No one has
either the moral or legal right to
put price on the produce of the
farm, but those who grow 1t, and
for this principle every American
farmer should hold out till the
last ditch. 81
