We're the arbitrator now. There

,ont think there will be any more.
.a.d Vice President Murdoch Of the
Order Of Railway Trainmen, at Mon.
real when the proposition OF the min.
ister OF labor for arbitration Of the
Grand Trunk strike was preached to
tim
Vice President Berry, who is as.
sisting Murdoch. expressed a similar
opinion. Both said the matter had
gone too far for arbitration.
The offer of the minister OF labor,
OIL behalf OF the government was TO
appoint board Of arbitration on the
trouble between the company and its
employees. the finding to be binding on
both. and the government to bear all
expenses in connection herewith. The
offer was submitted in the form of a
letter to President Hays. Of the Grand
Trunk and TO the head officials OF the
,unions involved. and is now under con-
sideration by them. 1t is thought that
from the fact that President Hays had
already made an offer to arbitrate the
difficulty. that the company at least
will accede to the proposal
Advices from all divisional points
of the Grand Trunk in Canada and
from Port Huron and Detroit, indicate
that the company is having greater
difficulty in keeping its trains moving

points no tickets are being sold De
cause Of the inability OF the company
to guarantee a complete journey
Freight jams are reported at Toron-

upon the company's apparent ability 10
secure all the new men il wants.
Many of the men shut out Of the
shops have taken train service and
the union officials bitterly denounce
the company for closing the shops at
this time and thereby forcing 10000
men into idleness. They declare that
such a move will be ample iustifica-
ton for a sympathetic strike Of the
engineers and telegraphers. although
there is no indication of any such
move.
The latest calculation of the mum.
Der of men rendered idle by the strike
and lockout runs to 5000. About lO0,-
900 others are indirectly affected.
Union officials here say that the OBJ
ject of the Grand Trunk in closing its
shops is to force these shop employees,
many Of whom are old trainmen. TO
take the strikers places. The union
officials add that If this is the inten-
ton, It will not succeed.

Early and Large Vegetables.

There are two ways in which every
man who takes pride in his garden
likes to excel his neighbor. One is in
having the earliest product and the
other is in having the largest. One
may earn reputation for having the
sweetest peas, the crispest lettuce or
the most mealy potatoes. but all this
is eclipsed by one big squash or tur-
nip, or one vine of early tomatoes,
though none of these prizes may be
any more than tolerated for the table
Earliness is the result of conditions
favorable for the rapidity of growth
and quick maturity. A warm soil is
still further improved by the addition
of available plant food and abundance
of humus. A little nitrogen in some
form is good at the start, but later II
encourages a growth of top which re-
tards maturity. This is not objec-
tionable in case of some vegetables,
but it is not advisable for others. The
treatment which would be fitting for
lettuce and asparagus, or other plants
6lONh AOl IAC IOPB NOulu IOI NC NOAi-
mendable for tomatoes and beans, or
plants grown to their fruit A bal
anced ration is most reliable in this
case, and barnyard manure serves
the purpose best if it is to be had
For producing large vegetables the
requirements are different. A long
season is desirable For this reason
an early start should be made and
maturity retarded so as to secure a
long period for growths. The soil
should be in good responsive condi-
ton. The plants are not to be forced
into a rapid growth at the start, but
are to be kept growing through
long period. Stimulating heterogeneous
manures are to be used sparingly, but
phosphoric acid and potash are the
independents, the former seed or fruit
growth and the latter for root.
He who succeeds. understands the
requirements of plants and treats
them accordingly. He sows the seed
and sees that &C nditions are what are
most suitable. Nature will do the
rest.-Farmers' Home Journal.

Hazing Hereditary.

Hazing, like the hereditary family
feud in certain sections of this couIi-
try, is continuing evil. because it Is
handed down from one college gen.
GRAFTON to the next, and each man
who has in his time and turn run the
gantlet wants to pay off the score
and secure his revenge vicariously
upon the person of the trembling
freshman who falls into his clutches.
The class that decides to prescribe
hazing has been punished and now
finds itself deprived of the chance Of
inflicting punishment. And SO the
evil tradition persists, merely because
no class can make up its mind to fore
go the precious privilege of melting
out to others the same harsh and
cruel treatment that was their own
portion Public Ledger.

Dry Farming.

The Spokesman-Review, of Spo-
kane, in commenting upon the dry
farming movement, says:
THE objects OF the dry farming
congress are intensely practical and
laudably patriotic. They are, in
brief, to develop the Science Of pro-
ducing profitable crops from a rain
fall that was insufficient under old
methods of cultivation. This science

New Corn For the Southwest.

Last year a small lot of snelled
corn of a kind new to this country
was sent to the Department of Agri-
culture from Shanghai. It proved to
have qualities that may make it valu-
able in breeding a corn adapted to the
hot and dry conditions of the South
west. The plants raised in the test
averaged less than six feet in height,
with an average of twelve green
leaves at the time of tasseling. The
ears averaged five and a half inches
in length and four and q third inches
in greatest circumference, with six
teen to eighteen rows OF small grains.
On the upper part of the plant the
leaves are all on one side of the
stalk, instead of being arranged in
two rows on opposite sides. Besides
this, the upper leaves stand erect in
stead of dropping, and the tips of the
leaves are therefore above the top of
the tassel. The silks of the ear are
produced at the point where the leaf
blade is Joined to the leaf sheaf, and
they appear before there is any sign
of an ear except slight swelling
