Labor In 1909.

The returns made TO the State Depart
ment Of Labor show that thus far the
year 1908 has been more prosperous for
laborers in this State than any other Of
the decade. In the first half OF 1905 the
average number Of wOrkmen idle was
l5i in each 1000 in eighty-five trades.
This year the number idle in the same
trades was lO4 to the thousand. At the
end of June. 1905, n~inety-One men Out OF
each 1000 in these trades were idle, while
this year the number was sixty-three.
This decrease in idleness is attributed 10
activity in the building trades and the
expansion Of manufactures, which has
been steady since 1000.

Of the State the demand for employ

The statistics OF trade uniOnism show
that there are more than 100000 wage
earners now affiliated with organizations
throughout the world. OF these approx
imately one-quarter are in the United
States. New York, with less than ohe-
fifth Of the population Of France, has e
half as many trade unionists. In this

The strength Of the unions in Teutonic
countries is disclosed ~conspicuously in
the table. and the English speaking
countries show a marked preeminence in
this field. Whether this will be retained
permanently is open to question. Ger
many has doubled the number of its
unionists in four years. Austria has
had a similar experience, and the unions
Of Italy and Hungary are the creation
Of the last five years. Great Britain is
the native home Of trade unionism. and
there the organized workingmen have
won their most notable political sue
oesses. II is not improbable. however,
that the Germans may make faster
progress hereafter than the British.

monkeys, which man most nearly re-
sembles in his dentition derive their
staple foods from fruits, grain, the
kernels of nuts, and other forms in
which the most sapd and nutritious
tissues of the vegetable kingdom are
elaborated, and the close resemblance
between the Quadrumanous and hui
man denttion shows that man was,
from the beginning, more especially
adapted to eat of the fruit of the
trees and of the garden"
In his valuable work ON "Diet in
Relation to Strength and Endurance
DR.. Hag, of England, says: eff man
is to be regarded, as [ believe he
should be, as a frugivOrous animal,
nuts and fruits are probably his most
natural diet; nearly three-quarters of
the required albumens being in this
case obtained from the nuts. 1t is,
however, comparatively rare for any
one to be able to take this diet who
has injured both teeth and digestive
organs by years of wrong food. New
ertheless, it is an ideal to be aimed at,
and all should see how nearly they
can attain it,
The attainment of this ideal is now
rendered easy for all by means of

nut butter; nut meal, bromose, etc.,
which are readily digested and assimi-
lated by those of the most enfeebled
digestive organs.

Silage-Its Use and Advantages.

We have frequently urged the use
of silos by the stockmen of this state
We have the best climate for stock
that is found in the United States, yet
there are times when it is difficult
to keep up the supply of green feed.
In such cases silage can be depended
on to supply the deficiency.
The following description, from
Farm and Ranch, is the best that we
have seen:
Much has been said and written
about silage during the last few years
and in some states of the Union the
advance in modern SLIDING has been
rapid But somehow Texas has not
taken up the question nearly as ser
iously as has some other parts Of the
country Just who this state of af-
fairs exists is hard to determine. The
day of experiments has long since
passed and today it is we'll known
fact that SLIDING makes the farm or
dairy pay much better than any other
known method.
Perhaps the briefest definition of ST.
lage is that it is the material that
is packed into a silo. But what is a
si1o? Why is silage better than ordi-
nary feed? How does it pay the far
mer or dairyman?

Increased Appropriations for
Experiment Stations.

We have seen at different times, re-
ports of bill to give the Agricultural
Experiment Stations increased appro-
priatiOnS, but had seen no notice that
it had been passed We have just
found an item about it in Co.eman's
Rural World:
The Adams Bill, providing for in
creased Federal appropriations to- the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, has
been passed by both Senate and
House of Representatives, and was
approved by the President ON March
10th. By the provisions of this bill,
the annual Federal appropriation to
each experiment station is increased
at once from $4,000 to $4,000, while,
for the next five years the appropri-
alton is to be increased annually by
$4,000, so that at the end of that time
the present appropriation will he
doubled. The bill provides tha- the
money appropriated is to be used
strictly for experimental work and
not for teaching, and not more than
five per cent of it may be used in
the purchase, erection or repair of any
building or buildings, or for the pur-
chase or rental of land This bill
provides much-needed increase in
experiment station funds, and it's
author, the Hon. H. C. Adams, of
Wisconsin, is to be congratulated up
ON the success of his tireless efforts
in it's behalf

The Value of Fruit Diet.

The advocacy of a fruit diet, in a
state where the greatest source of
income is from fruit raising, may
seen to be dictated by selfish interest
We think, however, that it is really
very important Improvement ON the
old methods of using So much meat.
The Rural Californian says:
The attention of medical men has
recently been called to the case of
Gustav Nordin, a hardy Swede who
padded his own canoe from Stock
holm to Paris, reaching there in TO
bust health after the long voyage,
during which he lived ON apples, milk,
water and bread. The N. Y. Herald
states that this dangerous and ardu-
GUS voyage was undertaken by the
Swede to show what could be dome by
man who has given up meat, tea,
coffee, wine, beer, spirits and tobac-
co. He prides himself in eclipsing
those ''vegetarians" who continue the

America at the age of eighteen, Nor
din was suffering so from dyspepsia
that he could not take ordinary food.
He therefore began a diet of fruit,
principally apples, whereby he attain
ed to his present robust condition of
health. The greatest anatomists all
admit that the natural diet of man is
one consisting principally of fruits.
ut is, | Think" wrote Sir Charles
Bell, II. r. S., mot going too far to
say that every fact connected with
the human organization goes to prove
that man was originally formed a
frugivoFOus animal. This opinion is
principally derived from the fOrma-
ton of his teeth and digestive organs,
as we'll as from the character of his
skin and the general structure of his
lmbs''
Linnaeus said that "the structure
of the mouth, of the stomach and the
| hands" evinced that fruit was the
species of food most suitable to- man.

tween a ripe, JUICY apple and the
hard dried fruit Well, it Is much the
same with silage A silo simply pre-
serves what is put into it. Silages if
properly put up will keep indefinitely,
even for years, hence is invaluable for
having on hand during seasons of
drouth, as we'll as for the winter
months.
Take corn, for instance. The old
method Of feeding it whole to the
stock necessarily meant the loss of
a great portion OF the plant in the
shape of picked over stalks, also about
IS per cent. Of it's food value. In other
words the portion Of the stalk below
the ear, which contains the greater
portion Of the food value, was an
utter waste.
But by the SLIDING method the feed
er is enabled to avoid these losses.
1t enables him to take his entire crop
fresh from the field at the time when
it contains the most digestible food
value. 1t is then cut into short lengths
by modern ensilage cutter and blown
up thirty, forty or fifty feet into a
silo. There it remains, alright, fer
ments and becomes heated, which soft
ems it and when taken out from day
to day during the winter or spring it
is found to have retained all Of its
fresh, rich, juicy, succulent, digestible
and palatable qualities, just as when
it was put in months before. And
just as you enjoyed the ripe, juicy
apple more than the hard, dried fruit,
so the stock Or daily COWS enjoy and
thrive on the rich corn or. silage.
Silage thus pays by making use of all
of the corn plant and especially be-
cause of the great increase in milk
and beef production.
Silage is the cheapest Of foods; ex-
pertinent stations have demonstrated
this by actual tests. These proved
that on silage ration, milk costs IS
"a cents per 100 pounds, while on
grain rations is costs $I.o5 per 100
pounds. Average net profit per cow
per month on silage, $3.50 1-2, and
with grain only $40 IL.
We have used corn as an illustra-
ton because corn is perhaps more
extensively used as silage than any
other plant Corn, Sorghum, Kaf1r
corn, milo, pea vines, ETC., are also
used.
