says Farmers Advocate Most larm-

farmers all have low yield per COW.
There lies the whole trouble We have
cows In abundance. but the yield IS
not what II should be. For increased
profit In the dairy we must increase
the product per cow and thereby re
duce the cost Of production. which

WoPksps In Large Cities Compelled 70
Labor for Little Compensation.

The average resident OF the small
town or OF the farming district has
little conception OF conditions which
prevail among the working classes of
the large cities. Now and then some
article may appear In . magazine or
newspaper relating 20 the "sweatshop"
system, but few understand what this
means. II is simply this; In the gar.
ment-making line and kindred indus
tries different articles Of goods are
made By contract for so-called manu-
iacturers The sweatshops are found
in the closely crowded tenement dis

is the motto OF these manufacturers.
and the result is worn out and miser-

thus labor In order TO buy food.
Benevolent associations and socie-
ties for the prevention OF crime have
repeatedly tried 20 break up these
horrible places. but they manage to
exist in every city OF any size, par
ticularly In eastern cities. People
who live In the country can assist in
