TradeS-UniOn.

The better part of yalOr is discretion.
Every important invention came into
being to meet real need for its exist
ence. Early in the history of Industrial
ism a considerable need for some scheme
for effective opposition to sel6shness
was created by the constituencies con-
duct of dominant captains OF industry.
If the thought occurred to the ruling
class that lahorers had right to liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness" the happy
thought is not apparent in the laws that
obtained at that time. The laws gov
erning such matters despite Of much
opposition from unfeeling men, was
gradually amended in the interest of
| the workmen. Later, through the efforts
of enlightened men, organized efforts to
improve the hard lot of the toiing
masses became possible.
The need for effective opposition still
exists in despite of much teaching, and
many modern ideas, demonstrated in
sensible management. The trades
unionism of today is a meritorious, but
imperfect scheme, which meets made
quately the needs of the times. A great
amount of good has been done through
the organized etfolts OF intelligent men,
encouraged by kindly expressions OF
public opinion. SO much has been ac-
complshed toward the intimidation OF
| selfish capitalists that, in many instances
, there has been a reversal of the fOrme,
) position of master and man. The man
| now is deferred to by politicians before
: election time, and he often successful,

Homemade Ice.

c. p. Cooper. writing in the Dairy
Record, says that at the Coodhut

Hammer, the following method Of ice
storing has been very successful: The
Ice house Is built with by studding
boarded up both outside and inside ex-
cept that the inside boarding does not
go quite to the top. The inside boards
are tackled on lightly so that they can
be quickly removed and an air space
Is left between the studding. When
the weather has settled down Cor tic
winter remove all old ice and sawdust
and take out all sawdust from between
the inner and outer boarding. Re
place the inner boards. Secure piect
OF pipe about the length OF your Ice
house and driR row Of very small
holes. each row being about quarter
turn from The other, so that when the
pipe Is laid across the ice house and
connected with the water system OF
the creamery the water will come out
OF these holes like fountain and will
be distributed all over the floor, and
the pressure should be so regulated
that It will freeze about as fast as II
falls. II II falls too fast a good dea,

formed, while II Il comes down in toe

the form Of snow, making a white
poor Ice.
It requires, however, very little ex
pertinent to get the ice just right, max
Ing perfectly clear, pure Ice, and Ia
the course OF short time your Ice
house will be full clear to the top,
forming one solid, perfect cake Of
clear ice.
When the freezing Is completed yor

Into the air space, and that II Is moi
therefore possible to at once pack
that space with sawdust but do not let
that worry you. II the sawdust were
left In the space while the freezing
was going on, II would become simply
an addition to the mass OF Ice and
would practically carry the Ice cake
clear to the outside OF the house
which would be disastrous.
Put all your sawdust on top OF the

Pur. salt.

When a man Is making butter on a
farm or In the creamery 1t is neces.
sary for him to have salt that Is abb
solutely pure. 1t Is not possible to use
for butter making much Of the salt
that can be found in the corner grocer
les. One reason Is that some salts are
not pure In the material from which
they are manufactured. In other cases
the salt was pure once, but has abb
sorbed many kinds of odors from the
place In which 1t was kept. We have
had great many reports of butter
being injured in this way. In one
case the grocery man kept his salt
near his kerosene barrel. A farmer
bought the salt and used II In butter
making. Another case, the salt wa,
kept near great pile OF dried fish
and the butter in which the salt was
used had a flshy taste. These ex.
amples might be multiplied indefinite.
ly. 1t is better to buy tho salt OF the
companies that make a business Of
selling salt for butter making. These
take care that their salt is pure and
that 1t is kept pure after 1t leaves
their hands. Without pure salt the
butter will be very unsatisfactory.

Most lmportant Field crops,


Eight principal cereals are stown IN
the United States. They are, In the
,rder OF their acreage, corn, wheat,
bats, barley, rye, buckwheat, rice,
kafir corn. In 1899 the acreage de.
voted to cereals was 1Si.000,000. over
"A per cent of the total improved area.
In that year the total v2'ue Of all
the cereal crops was s1,4Si,23l,03S, or
81 per cent OF the total value OF oil
crops produced.
In the census Of 1870 the pro iuction
IL 'orn was reported at about 100000
son bushels. In 1880 the amount was
l,754,000,000 bushels; in 1890, VA
100000 bushels and In 1900, 2.6C6, 000..
700 bushels. The production OF wheat
VAS reported by tine census of 1870
At 2S7.000,000 bushels; by the census
II 1880 at $4,000 .u10 hrshels: by the
census of 1890 at 46S,0O0,000 bushels;
~ the census Of 1900 at 65S,000, 900
bushels. The production Of oats was
982,000,000 bushels in 1869; 407, 000, 900
bushels In 1879; 500 100000 bushels In
1889 and 943,000,000 bushels In 1899.
The three grains given are by far
he most important ones grown In the
United States. All the other cereal
crops combi;ed are but q small mat.

crops mentioned were In per cents as

Thus the aggregate percentage Of

PROBING THE SENSE OF SMELL
English Scientist Satisfied Gas Is tn.
Fundamental Basis.

FUNDAMENTAL bdSlS.
Is the sense of smell excited b,
gases of particles? According Il
DR.. John Aitken, an English special
list, gas is the fundamental basis o
the sense of smell. In experiment.
he first investigated musk, of which
1t is possible to detect by smell mi
croscopic quantity inconceivabl,
minute, fact well known to scien
lists. DR.. Aitken carried out his re
searches upon the cloudy condensation
basis, according to which, If odor:
are attributable to particles, the latte
form nuclei of cloudy condensation IL
supersaturated air, and thus max,
their presence visible.
In the case of musk, no such nucle
were detected, proving that musk doe.
not give off solid particles, but evap
crates as gas or vapor, and that
is gaseous particles from the musl
that act on the sense Of smell. o
twenty-three other odorous substances
not one gave its perfume In solic
particles, nothing but gases or vapors
escaping from them.
DR.. Aitken points out that the nos
trils appear to substantiate this the
ory. The perfume OF SNUFF, for in
stance, is soft, velvety sensation
while the effect of the solid is SHARP
and biting, more allied to pain thar
pleasure.
