NEW TRADES ARE TAKEN UP
Advent of Steel Sleeping Cars Throws
Many Wood Workers Out Of Jobs
at Pullman Shops.

An apt illustration Of reduction in
the premium on skill required of the
industrial worker is found at Pullman
by Graham Romeyn Taylor, who writes
in the Survey:
"The advent of the steel car threw
wood carving, cabinetmaking and
many other skilled crafts on the scrap
heap and substituted metal work, de-
handing distinctly shorter training.
Steel sleepers were first made about
1907. This year not a single one Of
wood is being manufactured. Of the
ordinary coaches built on contract for
railroads about rs per cent. are steel
body and wooden interior finish, Is
per cent. are all steel and only 10 per
cent. are of wood. More would prob
ably be made entirely of steel but for
the difficulty experienced in heating
them.
when the steel construction began
all the older and skilled employees
were encouraged to learn the newer
trades, and officials say that many of
the cabinetmakers readily adapted
themselves to the changed conditions,
utilizing much Of their old skill in the
steel cabinet work. But they frankly
admit that the great amount Of semi
skilled work, such as the assembling,
erecting and riveting of the steel cars,
has borne hard on the older employees,
who cannot stand the racket Slavs,
who don't seem to have any nerves.
take these jobs. What this means for
the older employees was wildly point
ed out by Dutch tradesman in Rose
land, who said that when the steel car
work came in about 200 members of
the Dutch church he attended left,
saying that the change of trades was
too much for them"

PROFIT IN ASPARAGUS
One Of Most Remarkable Vege-
tables Grown for Market.
Ability to stard Annual Attacks Upon
Its Resources Depends Upon Re
spite Granted During July
and August.
CBy NJ. ROBERTS coNovER.,

~
Asparagus is one Of the most re-
markable of vegetables grown for the
market In that it endures over two
months Of steady drain by daily cut
tings and yet the bed is a source OF
profit to its owner for a number of
years.
It's ability to stand these annual at
tacks upon its resources, however is
not miraculous, but depends upon its
respite during July and August.
During these warm months with the
right amount of moisture and plant
food the roots regain what is lost and
for the first few years a we'll grown
bed more than makes up the loss its
yield being on the increase from year
to year.
Attacks OF disease, a prolonged
period Of cutting, dry weather, or any
condition which deprives the plants
of this season OF growth lessons the
subsequent productiveness Of the bed.
Tillage and proper feeding are the
means with which the asparagus
grower must reinforce II.
AS soon as the cutting season is
over-July first for the mature beds
and June first for the three-year-old
planting-the ridges are plowed down
and a good fertilizer applied over the
crowns.
One successful grower uses a dress
ing of 45O pounds of nitrate of soda,
250 of muriate of potash mixed with
1900 pounds Of ground bone applied
at the rate of 500 pounds to the acre
after cutting
A previous dressing Of 500 pounds
TO the acre before cutting is essential.
After covering with the fertilizer the
bed is left nearly level until a vigor-
Gus stand of spears has developed.
The soil is cultivated every few days.
When the graceful. feathery foliage
has fully developed the soil should be
thrown toward the plants from time to
time by shallow burrows on either
side. This ridge of earth thus formed
serves to support the long stems and
protect the roots.
Asparagus-beds require a quantity
of humus in the soil in order that
the plant may avail itself Of the nec-
essary food elements.
Some growers plant such soiling
crops as rye or clover, sowing the
seed with the last cultivation in the
fall and cutting It up with a cutaway
harrow in the spring.
The most popular method Of sup
plying the humus, in many asparagus
growing localities, is by dressing with
compost, using ten tons and upward
to an acre.
A deep furrow is made between the
rows and the manure spread up. 1t be-
ing covered by a furrow
Careful growers advocate applying
this compost between every other
couple Of rows, giving the alternate
spaces the manuring the next year.
This plan gives all the plants access
to the manure, but disturbs only half
of the root system each year by the
deep furrowing.

DRESS SQUADS FOR MARKET
After Penetrating Brain 18th Sharp
Knife Bird Is Allowed to Bleed
Thoroughly.

CBy MICHAEL X. BOYER, New Jersey)
One-half dozen OF more squad are
hung on the rack at one time. The
wings of each are then locked, which
is done by drawing the wings closely
together in the back, allowing one
wing to overlap the other. Il holds
them firmly and causes no pain.
The mouth of the squad is held open
with the thumb and first finger of the
left hand, the head and shoulders be-
ing held in the left hand. With a knife
in the right hand the blade is inserted
through the crown of the head, pene-
trating the brain.
At once the operator releases his
grasp and allows the bird to bleed
thoroughly before starting to pluck the
feathers.
BY the time about half a dozen Of
the birds have been stabbed the first
killed has bled sufficiently to be ready
for picking. The squad is then re-
moved from the rack and held in the
hands while plucizing the feathers.
This method is said to be the most
rapid, II being found that from 100 TO
100 SQUAD can thus be dressed in a
day by a good operator.
Some pigeon men believe in holding
the bird while killing. but 1t has been
proven that birds held do not bleed so
thoroughly as when hanging, owing to
the fact that the hand more or less
congresses the fine veins, thus retard-
ing the flow Of blood.
When a bird is not sufficiently bled
it shows itself In blisters. These blis-
ters are red blotches that form on the
backs of the birds. and which develop
by the time the carcasses reach the
market
Fresh water should be given twice
daily, but only the very best of grain
Avoid damaged stun.
Do not fail to bear in mind that the
profit is derived only from the mated
pairs.

the headless body found in the Hud-

rested by private detectives and
spirited away. the New York police
were this afternoon as far from a
solution of the mysterious murder AS
they were a few hours after the first
portion of the young woman's body
was dragged from the river.
The men who took Sternemann into
custody were supposed to be detec-
tves representing a New York news
paper. The police knew nothing of
the arrest and their chief concern now
is TO find Sternemann and learn more
of the facts, which his letters indi-
cate point to the murder victim being
his daughter Ella

similar to that found in Sternemann
room was used in wrapping the body
of the murder victim, but this is not
regarded as especially significant.
Sternemann handled millinery sup
plies for many years and it would
have been nothing unusual for him
to have this sort of wire in his pos

OF dairy barns should be done for
the sake Of general sanitation, but
the main point in the fight against
tuberculosis is the elimination OF the
dark stables and filthy stall condi-
tions.
When clean methods are used in
the keeping of cows. he advises the
use OF compound made from one
pound of chloride OF lime and five
gallons OF whitewash. which, when
put on the walls and stable partitions,

the plan OF breeding eve lambs,
which is a poor practice from any
standpoint. These immature ewes
cannot be reasonably expected to pro
duce strong. vigorous lambs and sup
