Detectives and Spies Employed
by the Manufacturers'
Association.

Washington, ID. C.-In a room IN

can Federation of Labor in this city
Samuel Gompers, president of the fed
Grafton on Thursday introduced the
name Of ex-Secretary Taft and made
serious charges against w. J. Van
Cleave, president of the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers
The charges were made as part
of Mr.. Gompers' testimony in connec-
tion with the proceedings against
himself Vice President Mitchell and
Secretary Morrison of the federation
on the charge of contempt in vio-
lation of the injunction decree
Of the supreme court of the
District of Columbia, directing them
not to publish the Bucks Stove and
Range Company of st. Louis as "un-
fair" Mr.. Gompers was at the time
under cross-eXamination by his attor-
ney, Jackson II. Ralston
In the case of Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Com
pers in effect charged that he had
supplied the sentiment behind the in.
junction decree, while the direct
charge was made that Mr. Van Cieave
had had Mr. Gompers and other fed
GRAFTON officials shadowed by detec-,
tives and had undertaken to have
Gompers bribed to desert the cause
of organized labor and join its enc
mics. Mr.. Ralston's efforts We're di-

Gompers said:
Men have been suborned to spy
on their fellow laborers in shops, fac
tories and mines; to report the pro
ceedings of union meetings; to spy on
the personal conduct of worllmen after
working hours. and TO follow from
place to place labor leaders visiting
other cities than their homes Money
has also been used to bribe represen-
tative labor men to cease their con-
nection with labor organizations.

the dispatches telling of the testimony
of Samuel Gompers in the contempt
proceedings against him at Washing

NEED NO SYMPATHY
AMERICAN FARMERS ARE NOT
"oPPRESSED."
6ryan's Efforts to Create Feeling of
Discomfort Among the Agrcul-
tural Glasses Not Likely to
Be Worry Successful.

Mr.. Bryan's address to the Nebras-
ka farmers at the Lincoln fair as
sumed that the farmers are an op-
pressed people. Mr.. Bryan was sym
pathetic, and pointed out some of the
outrages committed upon the farmer
by an insolent or inept national gov
ernment
What would the farmers think, he
asked, if he were to tell them that for
every dollar spent on the agricultural
department $25 was spent on the
army and navy. and then he counseled
them:
Read the amount spent on ships
and figure, if you can, what portion of
that gets to the farmer"
This is a typical example of Mr..
Bryan's thoughtless method of agita-
ton. 1t would be difficult to say, of
course, just what portion of the ma
tional expenditures on the army and
navy gets to" the farmer or to the
clerk or lawyer or physician or to any
class or variety of American citizen;
and it is monstrous, in making an adj
dress to an inland agricultural com
munity remote from the ocean, to play
to any hostility to the navy on the
theory that the farmer does not owe
or is not willing to give just as strong
and patriotic support to the country's
navy as any other class of citizens. 1t
Is an insult to assume that farmers
are so narrow as to object to proper
expenditures for navy If they cannot
be convinced that the profit TO the
farming class from the appropriation
is direct, immediate and to be meas
ured in money.
The farmer has not beer abused by
the Roosevelt administration nor by
the Mckinley or Cleveland or any
other administration. If huge appro-
priations have not been made to
farmers, they do not need them, and
are certainly no more entitled to
them than are the clerks, the school
teachers, the business men and many
other classes of workers. 1t is a
thoroughly vicious notion to assume
that the farmer or any other class of
producers, is hostile to the govern
ment unless it may be shown that the
government is always doing something
for them. 1t is not the province of the
government TO be eternally supporting
the people; it is rather the province
of the people to support the govern
m mt.
The farmers are not in immediate
aid of largess. Their products have
been extremely high for several years
and farm values have risen sharply.
When they need aid Mr. Bryan's no.
tions are not calculated to help them.
In 1896 he predicted doom for the
farmer unless free silver triumphed.
and asserted with the utmost conf
dence that the maintenance of the
gold standard would drag down
wheat. Silver and wheat must -four
ish together. The silver fallacy died
and ~heat thrived and so did the
farmer. If the credit of the country
had been impaired and the currency
had been debased the farmers plight
would be sad to contemplate, and the
farmer is likely to receive just as
much profit from Mr.. Bryan's present
grandiose and impracticable schemes
as he would have received from the
adoption of the free silver folly.

Orchard Work.

A good test of a mans Christianity Is to examine his apple barrel from top to bottom.
 A man may be good woodchoppei, but that Is 10 sign that he knows how to prune trees.
 An ax and a saw in the hands of an ignorant man cause more damage to the fruit crops of this land than all the birds that are matched.
 Fruit sells best when properly grad ed. The best will bring better price and the lower grades will generally bring as good a price as the entire lot would If mixed.
 For summer pruning of trees the best time Is from the 18th of June to the 10th of July. just when the sap Is run ming freely. When the tree Is in leaf you can tell better what to cut out.
 Some people Imagine that all that Is necessary to have a good orchard Is to plant a variety of good trees and 'let 'em rip" It generally takes years to discover their mistake, but they finally discover 1t.

HnUa fhat Make Meat.

The hog raisers of Kansas station made a test to show what kind of a hog grows the best meat. The weights of hams in the test were as follows:
 Berkshire hams, 231a pounds; Du- roc-Jersey, 24A pounds; Poland Chlnas, 251a pounds. These hogs in size were as near the same weight as possible to get them. The shoulders of the Berkshires weighed 21h pounds Duroc-Jerseys, 1912 pounds and Poland Chinas, 1912 pounds. The Berkshires have larger shoulders than the other breeds.
 The butcher who saw the hogs slaughtered thought the Duroc-Jersey had the most fat on the back the Po- land China next, then the Berkshire. The Berkshire ham showed more lean and less fat than the Poland-China. The butchers considered the breed of hogs that had the most fat the most profitable hog, both for the farmer and the butcher.

Feeding Cows on Grass,

Professors Stewart and Atwood, of the West Virginia Experiment Station, last year conducted some careful tests to determine whether 1t Is profitable to feed milk COWS grain on grass. With out going into the details of these ex- periments we quote the conclusions us follows:
 This experiment clearly shows that there was no direct financial gain in feeding the grain to the COWS while at pasture. It is true that the COWS which received grain were uniformly in somewhat better flesh than those that did not receive grain, but as far as the milk yield was concerned the increased flow was produced at an ac- tual loss." Data obtained in similar experiments at other stations are sum- marlzed, and from these In comparison with their own investigations the au- thors conclude that unless dairy prod ucts are especially high in price it is not a profitable practice to feed grain to COWS at pasture. It Is true that more milk Is obtained and the COWS hold up their yield better and remain in better flesh when receiving the grain rations, but under ordinary circumstances there Is no direct profit from the grain feed ing, as the increased production usual ly costs more than 1t can be sold for"

Bacteria in Cold AIllk.

NJ. E. Pennington of the Bureau of Chemistry, Department of Agriculture, reports that experiments on milk kept at about the freezing point showed a continuous increase of organisms for five or six weeks. At their maximum they numbered hundreds of millions per cubic centlmeter, and occasionally they passed the billion mark. Although the milk experimented with was never solidly frozen, yet after ten days to two weeks 1t was a mass of small Ice crystals. No odor or taste indicated the higher bacterial content, and even OF heating no curd was produced until the very end of the experiment.

 Finally one of the women scooped up q double handful of the ever present Kingston dust and flung 1t over the other woman, with wild shriek of laughter.

The wood chemistry section of the Forestry Bureau has been giving some attention to the subject of production of turpentine from yellow pine waste. It is stated that for the recovery of turpentine from waste wood the steam distillation process Is far superior to destructive distillation. making more uniform crude turpentine. and usually a higher grade refined product The wastage from the yellow pine cut each year would yield as much turpentine as the entire present annual output in this country, with a value of S14,00o.- GOO.
