End of the Strike.
Observation-Disclosures.

q URELY there were horrors
~ enough in a large mill in the mid
die Of winter with all the foreign
labor rloting in n desperate strike
Madeline Reynolds had thought of then,
all, too. The greatest was possible
harm to her husband. which took many
awful forms.
In this great fear, her petty womanly
fears had sunk out of sight That was
probably why she had neglected pull
ing the curtain low enough to shut out
all sight OF the room In which she sat.
Red shades are cosy things, so are open
fires, and the rocking chair that Rob
ert had given her on Christmas was
coSlest Of all.
Bending forward she pulled q basket
towards her, picking out a multitude of
small garments. She folded them slow
Iy In piles. until she came to some
thing partially finished. Slipping on
her thimble. she threaded a needle with
deft fingers. and rocking placidly to and
fro proceeded TO put the finishing
stitches TO n baby's dainty dress.
All the time between the curtain and
the window sill there lurked a horror
In human form. A beard that has grown
unheeded for weeks, especially II it be
black st midnight, will add an almoSt
lnhuman ferocity to a mans face.
He watched because he had nothing
else TO do while he waited. Two ether

raused him TO Shift his position to ease
his stiffening knees and TO take look
towards the east TO see IL Il meant a
fire.

room. the tiny white thing at her feer

Seeds Exhaust the Soil.

The farmers who grow flax do so
at greater cost of plant food than do
the growers of wheat, corn or other
grains. The same reasoning. therefore,
shows that. as grains of all kinds draw
their phosphoric acid from the soil.
these oily seeds will exhaust the SOL
of its phOsphates to a much greater
degree than the grain crops; hence 100
pounds of iinseed will carry on about
twice as much phosphoric acid from
the soil as will 100 pounds of wheat
But the same circumstance supplies an
additional reason why the manure OF
fuIl-g store stock fed upon oil
cake is so much richer than that OBJ
tanned by the use of many other kinds
of food. Linseed meal is rich as a
food and a manure producer. because
the proportion Of protein compounds
.(albumen. etc.). in the oilcake is greater
than the fattening animal can appro-
pirate. and thus much of them pass
off In a more or less changed state,
and is mixed with the manure. The
oil is in larger proportion than can at
times be laid on their bodies. even by
fattening stock. but this excess adds
nothing to the fertilizing quality Of the
manure. The full-grown animal. how
ever. apprcpriates scarcely any of the
phosphates, the whole OF these therefore
which the animal consumes in its
food appearing again in its manure
The oiIcakes. being richer in these
phosphates. weight for weight. than any
kind OF grain used for food. the manure
thus made Is also richer in phosphates
than that which Is obtained from ant
mails fed upon other kinds Of foods

Winter DnirYinr

Winter dairying is each year grow
ing in favor with farmers. They have
found that the cost of keeping a winter
mixer is very little more than of
keeping cow that is to calve In the
spring. The cows in the summer-milked
dairy dry off in November and by
December the dairy is a dry one. I'M
profitable, yet requiring a great amount
of feed and care How much better ii
is to have the cows come in fresh in
October, keep them we'll fed and in
comfortable stables and secure a uni
form flow of milk through the winter
until grass comes again. This work
has been made easier since the silo has
come into use, and plenty of succn-
lent feed is always at hand.
When an old dairyman comes to real
ize what it cost him in the past to-
winter an unproductiye dairy-the labor
and the thousands of tons of hay ex-
pended to bridge the dairy from one
season TO another, just to get the cows
to cheap grass and low prices-it looks
like a fortune gone Now, by the lat
er plan, the cows are most largely
productive when the food they consume
is dearest and prices best

Carnivorous Plants.

One of the most interesting of that
little group of plants known as "carniv-
orous," from their curious habit of trap
ping animals, and apparently feeding
on them, is the bladderwort In July
and August its yellow flowers may be
seen adjoining many of our ponds and
bitches. The little narrow-necked blad-
ders which it bears under water, and
from which it gets its name, are veri-
table traps for the smaller inhabitants
of the ditch. The animals most fire.
quently caught in them are those min
ute crustaceans known as water-feas.
Occasionally, however, young fish is
found inside. In a recent number of
GSman scientific periodical w. Bath
describes plants of the bladderwort
which have caught tadpoles. Some he
found caught by the head, and some by
the tail. In other cases the animal had
got entirely inside. 1t is found that
the imprisoned animal may live some
days inside the bladder.

Tariff Reform Demanded.

The stockmen are the latest kickers
against the present. tariff schedules,
and at late meeting at Kansas City
demanded that the tariff be so revised
as to give the best possible market for
live stock and live stock products. The
various live stock associations repre-
scented ask Congress for legislation that
will permit of better trade arrange
ments and agreements with other ma
tons. That, of course, means reciproci-
ty, which our standpat statesmen have
refused to ratify, because no protected
interest is willing to be sacrificed for the
benefit of the stockmen or anyone else.
The only revision of the tariff that will
produce results is to cut down protec-
ton to the few by reforming the law
on a revenue basis for the benefit Of
the many.

similar to that by which a worthless dog is
