THE DIFFERENCE.

The manufacturer insists upon set
ting the price on the labor he buys
and the goods he sells.
That is called "business.'
The workingman asks the privilege
of having a voice in setting the price
Of his commodity, labor, and wants to
be protected against the rapacity Of
trusts and combinations.
That is called anarchy"
Manufacturers combine to raise the
price by limiting the supply of goods
! manufactured.
That is called high fiuance."
Workingmen organize unions to pre-
vent injustice and to elevate the stand
ard of labor.
That is called interfering with free
and independent labor
A trust is formed to buy up small
and Independent factories and close
them down for the purpose of con-
trolling the supply.
That is called "business enterprise"
Labor unions seek to control the
apprentice system, to the end that
labor be not reduced to a starvation
basis.
That is called preventing the youth
of the land from learning useful
trades j..
A financier steals million entrust-
ed to his care.
He is hailed as Napoleon Of fin
ance." ""
A workingman steals loaf Of bread
for his hungry babies and is sent to
iail for six months
That is called Justice"
A band Of rich men combine to pre-
vent changes in administration that
might fnjure their schemes.
They are called conservatives"
A band Of thoughtful men with no
ayes to grind associate themselves
together to bring about needed re-
forms in governmental affairs.
They are called dangerous agita-
tors :" .':.
A Rockerbilt social function costs

CONTRACTORS OPPOSE
. E|GHT-AOUR W0RKDAY
Strong Combination of Firms
Unite in Attacking the
Law.
Tremendous Political Influence
Behind the Assai1ant's
Contention.

Labor men disposed to look upon the
bright side of things have been under
the impression that the eight hour
work day was established as prin-
ciple, theoretically at least, in this
country. If those optlmists will look
about them they will probably have
rude awakening, writes Joseph r.
Buchanan in, the New York Journal.
Labor fought for years before it won
general acceptance of it's right to Or
ganize. Now there are few who dis
pute that right.
In the same way the shorter work.
ward until the economists and the
theorists pretty generally have conce-
ded that eight hours in twenty-four is
enough for each laborer to work.
In the building trades, the printing
trades and some other industries the
eight hour workday is observed. For
years there has been an eight-hour law
applicable to work done for the ma
tional government, and some Of the
states have passed laws making eight
hours legal days work on state and
municipal contracts.
Purpose Of Opponents.
The eight-hour movement has been
having things too much its own way,
according to certain large employing
interests, and now war has been de-
clared against It, Not only Is the fur
Their progress Of the movement to be
stayed, but it Is the purpose of the op-
ponents of the eight-hour day to undo
as far as possible what has been done
for it's advancement
A combination Of large contracting
firms, representing many millions Of
dollars, has just opened an attack upon
the national eight-hour law in the
United States district court at Cleve-
land. It Is reported that there is ire,
mendous political influence behind the
assailants Of the law and that the fight

Mr.. Cleveland Scored Five.

The late William c. Whitney wanted
to do something out of the ordinary
when he gave his first cabinet dinner
as a member of President Cleveland's
cabinet. He secured the markets of
Washington for delicacies. For fruit,
he decided he would have peaches.
1t was the middle of February, and
there were no peaches in Washington.
He found a man in New York who said
he could get some, and Whitney or
dered basket.
The dinner was great success. In
discussing 1t next day Judge Lamar
said: Those peaches were fine. Mr.
Whitney. Where did you get them?"
"In New York." Mr.. Whitney said
"A man there found them for me-"
peaches in February are certainly
a great treat" continued Lamar. I'll
It Is a fair question, how much did
they cost?"
"They cost forty-eight dollars q

Why Young Trees are Best.


These are the advantages of plant
ing young trees: They can be train
ed to the desired form better than old
er trees. A two or three-year-old tree
Is branched and has had its head
already formed by the nurseryman; a
yearling tree Of the apple, pear and
sweet cherry is usually unbranched.
Sometimes the nurseryman has headed
the tree too high or has not been care
full enough about starting out the scat
fold limbs, and it Is difficult to correct
the form of the head after 1t has been
started There is an unmistakable
preference for low-headed trees, due
chiefly to the need of economy and
efficiency in spraying and harvesting.
The single disadvantage Of low-head'
ing is greater inconvenience in tillage'
This is much more than offset by the
advantages, in the judgment of most
growers. Within ten years the height
recommended for heading apple trees
in East has been reduced at least two
feet. The bearing of this on the mat
ter of yearling trees is that the grow
er can head a yearling tree where be

After briefly describing the cause OF
potato blight, c. A. McCue, of the Mich
igan experiment station, gives the re-
suits of experiments in which potatoes
were sprayed with Bordeaux mixture
and comparisons made with similar
plants receiving a spraying of lime wa
ter. Where the potatoes were given
fourteen sprayings of Bordeaux mix
ture at intervals of four days net
gain of $11.90 per acre Is reported.
Where they were sprayed at intervals
of ten days, six applications being CIV
en-, a net gain Of $15.44 per acre Is Civ
en-. On plats sprayed every fifteen days
net gain of $13.3S per acre Is report
ed, and where four sprayings at inter-
walls of twenty days $11.03 per acre net
gain is reported. For the plat which
received fourteen sprayings Of lime
water at intervals of four days a loss
Of $1.76 is reported. The cost of spray
ing is said to have been Y cents per
acre for each application. This amount,
the author believes, could be reduced
to not more than 55 cents per acre.
The author gives compiled informa-
ton relative to spraying by individual
farmers, the results obtained at other
stations, ETC., and notes that the sta
ton expects to carry on experiments
for the prevention Of late blight for at
least five years.

Milton ]. Vreeland, a farmer living
near Pine Brook, N. j., was nearly
drowned In the Passaic River the
other day as the result of his acting
as referee in fight between two snap
ping turtles, says the New York
World. Vreeland, who was In canoe,
watched the bout for minute or two
and then decided that it was time for
the combatants to break away.
He padded up to them. reached
over the side, caught them by the tails,
one in each hand, and swung them Into
the canoe-one In the bow, the other
In the stern Of the frail craft. But
the turtles did not accept this deci-
son. They wanted to fight on, and
being unable to get at each other they
attacked the self-appointed referee.
The farmer had found 1t an easy
matter to catch hold of the turtles
tails when they were in the water. but
1t was impossible now with the canoe
to keep on an even keel. He caught
up the paddle and with this managed
to beat Off his assailants for while
but at last the canoe capsized. AS II
did so one Of the turtles dealt the
farmer blow In the back just below
the belt. 1t chung to the place on the

six-Year Crop Rotation.

A six-year rotation Of grain crops
only, and Of grain crops with clover
In the rotation, is reported by the In

tinuous grain cropping the average
yield Of wheat for six years was 2O.8
bushels per acre. With clover In the
rotation the average yield Of wheat
was 26.6 bushels. The plots used In
this experiment were unfertilized with
anything but the clover.

where the patch has the full sweep Of
the wind. The red raspberries do not
require pinching. for it has been prov
ed time and again that there Is no
benefit in pinching them. 1t is only
throwing away labor, and in many in
stances those that were not pinched
give better results than those that
were.
