Gompers Bows to the Law
The April number of the American
Federationist does not contain the
usual list of firms defined as unfair
because of their failure to recognize
the union of their employees. This
omission follows the decision of the
supreme court relating to the illegality
of the boycott under the Sherman anti.
trust law. President Gompers Of the
federation explains that, while organ
lied labor must obey the law as inter-
preted by the highest court, he is sure
that congress will soon change the law
so as to relieve labor. Anyway, he be-
lieyes that not the supreme court nor
any other power can compel a unionist
or friend of labor to buy boyeotted
article He prophesies dire things for
congressman who dare to oppose the
demands of labor in this regard.

Would Change Socialist Tactics.
Edmund Kelly. former legal adviser
of the American legation at Paris and
now one of the prominent members OF
the New York branch of the Socialist
party. has signed article in the Inter
national Socialist Review, entitled 'sThe
Confusion of Tongues" proposing rad
ical change in the tactics OF big party
in America. He holds that the policy
of revolution" while consistent and
logical in a country like Germany,
where the party has the throne. the
nobility and the church 10 overcome,
is utterly untenable and unnecessary
In this country where the machinery
Of democratic government exists and
where the real enemies of socialism
"are on the inside-in the fierce indi-
vidualism of American character" He
believes that the word reform" is the
one on which to align the various rad
ical elements here and urges the ad-
vantage Of making working arrange
ments with labor party. as the So
cialists Of England have done with
success. He charges that American
Socialists lack faith in their own prin-
eiples and stand in fear of being cap
tured by somebody. All that is neces-
sary. he contends. is that Socialists
have hand in the organization of the
"auxiliaries."

DWARF APPLES.
They VIII Be Grown on Account Of
Their Convenience.

0 neir convenience.
G. T. Powell of Columbia county, n.
z, has been conducting some interest
ing experiments on the value of dwarf
apple trees in business orchards. 1t is
the idea of Mr. Powell that trees of a
low habit of growth will be required
more and more because of the need of
convenience for spraying and harvest
ing. The scale insects make it almost
impossible to thoroughly treat large
trees, and the cost Of labor makes a
saving at harvesting time Of great i'm
portance
Two styles of dwarf trees are under
trial. The so called Paradise is very
dwarf and is short lived. The Doucin
stock is half dwarf, making trees six
teen to eighteen feet high, and prom
ises good results in commercial or
charding. The trees are planted two
or three inches below the union of
stock and top. In Mr.. Powells or
chard the trees of Paradise stock are
set as filters between those of the lar
ger dwarf kind. The rows in the or
chard are twenty feet apart and the
trees ten in a row. The wide spaces
between the rows allow plenty of room
for cultivation by horsepower, while
the trees in the rows will be thinned
out as soon as they become crowded.
The dwarf trees give fruit in a few
years from planting, and the amount
gradually increases The small dwarf
kind lasts six to eight years and the
semidwarfs for about twenty years.
For dwarf trees the Spitzenberg, Jona-
than and Mcintosh are found success
full. They produce fruit Of very fine
appearance and quality, suitable for
For the half dwarfs the Northern Spy,
Roxbury Russell, Twenty Ounce, Astra-
khan, Baldwin and Greening are salts
factory.
The dwarf trees must receive good
culture, with plenty of plant food and
careful cultivation. The soil is plowed
and narrowed in the spring and is kept
in cover crop Of clover during the
summer. Scale and other insects are
easily treated in the dwarf orchards.
The idea appears so promising to Mr..
Powell that he is pruning his larger
trees on the dwarf plan, cutting back
the tops of the standard trees in order
to cause them to spread out and to re-
move the high parts of the tree, which
make so much difficulty in spraying
old trees.

TO MAKE ORANGE MARMALADE
Old Scotch Recipe Which Can Be Fol.
lowed by Any Housewife.

The Americans have adopted the
British plan of eating marmalade at
breakfast. 1t is put on dry or but.
tered toast and taken with the coffee.
The following is an old Scotch recipe
which is used in British homes:
Seville oranges are the best for this
marmalade if one can get them. The
juice is pressed out and the rinds put
into preserving kettle with plenty OF
water to cover them. This is cooked
until soft, adding more water as it
boils away. When very soft it is
turned into jelly bag and the juice
squeezed out.
This is mixed with the uncooked
juice, and to every pint pound and a
half of sugar is allowed. 1t is cooked
20 minutes. The best way to test it is
to drop little on cold plate. If it
curls up at the touch of a finger it is
ready to take from the fire. 1t should
be put into glasses or small stone jars.
1t should stand uncovered for a night
and after this the jars may be COW
cred with paraffin.

The Presidents Salary.

1t is safe to say that very few of the
people living in this country know how
the president Of the United States
draws his salary of $4,000 a year OF
those few who may have given the
matter thought. large majority do
not know whether he receives his sal
airy monthly, quarterly or semiaDnual-
iy. AS matter of fact, the salary due
the president is taken to the White
House by trusted messenger from the
office of the treasurer of the United
States on the last day of each month
and handed over to the official whose
business it Is to look after 1t. The
president receives his salary In the
shape of check. the $4,000 being di-
vided into eight checks of 81, 1867 each
and four checks of $4,166.66 each.
Thus one month out Of every three the
president receives l cent less on his
check than he does the other two. Some
such arrangement as this is necessary,
as. Of course. $4,000 is not exactly d.
visible by twelve.

INFLUENCE OF THE SIRE.
One of the Most Important Factors in
Successful 0airying.

A writer illustrates this principle
very we'll this way:
IF the bull be of inferior breeding
it affects all the calves of his get,
more or less, in the entire herd. But
if there is a single COW that Is in
ferior. the loss extends no farther than
her own calf
This is true, declares Hoard's Dairy
man, and it emphasizes the truth of
the old maxim: 1.-The bull>is half of
the herd for good or bad" When farm
ers get this idea into their minds full
size, there will be less fooling with
inferior bulls or sires of any kind.
In reality it is this low, cheap esti-
mate of the value of good breeding in
the bull that is at the bottom Of all
the poor, improbable cows that we
see. OF course, if a man has poor
estimate of the value of the sire, he
is apt to set a poor estimate on what
he should do in other things. 1t is
true, as Hiram Smith said: "a good
bull is a great educator"
There is another mistaken idea
which prevails very largely with farm
ers who have not looked into this ques-
ton of breeding as they ought
They think that if they have good
COW she will bring a good heifer no
matter how she is bred. 1t is that
over confidence in the mother that
makes them so Indifferent to good
qualities in the sire.
We may have the best soil in the
world, but if we use poor seed we har-
vest disappointment.
Then, again, if the mother is a
grade, and of course of mixed blood
there is just as good a chance that she
will breed from the inferior elements
in her nature, as from the superior, I'M
less she is always coupled with SUI
perior male.
It is a mistake to suppose that a
good cow of inferior breeding is there
by qualified to drop good calves. We
must look deeper than her performing
power at the pail for her ability to
give us profitable heifers. Her veins
must be heavily stored with the blood
of high performing ancestors and she
must be bred, if possible, to sire OF
still richer inheritance. This puts us
on a constantly ascending grade, and
then we have reverses enough.

Career Of 4 Tragedy Written by the

Career of Tragedy Written by the
Great Napoleon.
The Scene Illustrate of Rome tells
this story of the first Napoleon as a
dramatic writer. He had seen per-
Torrance of "The Cid" which i'm
pressed him so forcibly that he de-
cided to write classic drama. Within
short time he had finished nearly
four acts of play, which he entitled
Hector" Then came his election as a
brigadier general, and the manuscript
was thrown into a desk, where he
found 1t again by chance in 1905. Ma
poleon then sent for Luce de Lancival.
gave him the manuscript and directed
him to finish the play. This was done,
but the players refused to accept It.
When Napoleon returned to Paris from
the coronation at Naples he learned of
the contemptuous manner in which his
work had been treated. He demanded
the manuscript and wrote across it:
"The players of the Coincide Fran
caise will produce the tragedy which
In their stupidity they rejected. Napo-
leon" Two hours later the work was
accepted. In three weeks 1t was pro-
duced before a brilliant audience, de-
clared success, and the alleged au-
thor was decorated with the grand
cross of the Legion Of Honor.

with a silver fork and when done re-
move by lifting with the fork inserted
in the hole center. Lay them on a

number, but they will keep fresh for
ten days if put away as advised. But
remember the dough must be smooth
