WHAT THE HOME
S1EADER MAY GROW
BY Prof. Thos. Shaw.

Very many homesteaders are
just now beginning their work
on homesteads, which they have
taken. 1t is of the utmost i'm
portance that they shall begin
right. This paper will discuss
that question and more especial
ly with reference to the needs
of homesteaders who have fami-
lies. 1t is specially important
that they shall be able to grow
food for themselves and the ami
mails that they have when they
come to their claims. Under ju-
dicious management they may
do this, but without knowing
how, they may utterly fail.
1t is presupposed that every
man who moves onto a home
stead farm with a family will
take with him to that farm four
horses to enable him to pillow his
land, a cow or two to provide his
family with milk and butter, a
brood SOW that will nourish pigs
to give meat the following VIM
ter, and a few hens to provide
him with meat or it's equivalent
in eggs the first summer. He
should also have enough grain
with him to feed his horses, his
swine and his fowls until he can
grow some the following autumn.
What money crops can he grow
the first year? Only two, one is
flax and the other is durum
wheat. Of these flax is the sur
est as it will bear up better under
dry conditions, should the sea-
son prove dry, than any other
cereal crop. But to be sure of a
crop it should not be sown later
than early June. If durum
wheat is sown it cannot be sown
too early. The flax is sown at
the rate of II pecks per acre,
and the durum wheat at the rate
of 4 pecks per acre, of course it
would be better in the long run
to summer-fallow all the land
broken the first year, and to SOW
the bulk of it to winter wheat
the following August, but if the
homesteader must have some
money crops, these should be flax
and durum wheat.
Which are the crops that can
be grown for the live stock? The
homesteader can grow for these
oats, to provide food for horses,
barley and peas to provide food
for the cow or COWS in winter,
and hulless barley of the white
variety to provide food for the
swine the following winter, and
also to provide food for the
fowls.
The oat crop is not so sure a
crop as the durum wheat on
breaking, but it may be made to
furnish much food in an average
season. In a very dry season
the results would be disappoint-
ing. 1t would not be necessary
to thresh the oats for the horses
as in some newly settled sections
it might not be easy to get a
machine. The pea and barley
crop should be drilled in, using 3
pecks of peas and 2 Of barley to
the acre. These would be cut
when in the dough stage, and
they would be fed to the cows as
hay. The white hulless barley
could be sown at the rate of 3 to
q pecks per acre and it would
furnish food to swine and fowls
the following winter, either in
the threshed or the unthreshed
form.
Corn is one of the best crops
to grow to furnish food for hor-
ses or COWS in winter. Good
crops can be grown on new
breaking. To grow these in
best form, the land should be
broken 5 to 6 inches deep. 1T

BLAMES SHERMAN LAW.
Holds 1t Responsible for the Appalling
Waste in Mining.

Philadelphia, Oct. 23--Dr Charles r.
Van Hise, president of the University OF
Wisconsin, arraigned the Sherman anti
trust law last night as the one agency
more responsible than any other for APP
palling waste in mining and consequent
grand larceny from future generations
OF portion OF their inheritance of ma
tural resources.
To propose the repeal of the Sherman
law, DIR. Van Hise asserted, would be
chimerical at the present time. but it
should be so amended that under its
provisions cooperation would be permit
ted Unrestrained competition, he add
ed, meant appalling waste; and waste
was positively opposed TO the policy of
conservation. When the Sherman law
was passed, he said, the wheels. so far
as cooperation was concerned, were inn
mediately turned bach. to the conditions
of the middle ages. To remedy the evil,
he continued, an interstate trade com
mission should be fashioned with broad
powers like those of the interstate com
merce commission, to regulate co-opera-
tion in industry. Monopoly should be
prohibited, but business men should be
permitted to fix prices, divide territory
and curtail output within reasonable
limits

RUTLAND FIRE COST $4,000.
Wet Wash Laundry Destroyed and Two
Horses Burned.

Rutland, Oct. 23-Fire which broke
out about 1920 o'clock this morning,
entirely destroyed the Rutland wet wash
laundry at No. 2S4 West street, entail
ing loss of over $4,000, including two
horses, which were burned to death in
a shed in the rear of the building, also
a load of hay. The fire was first dis
covered by John +. Clifford of No. 292
West street, who was on his way home
and noticed light in the rear of the
building. He at first thought that some
one was working late in the place and
using a light, but on closer investiga-
tion discovered the flames. He called up
fire station No. l, and by the time the
apparatus arrived the fire had gained
such Roadway that general alarm was
sent in. 1t was impossible, however, to
check the fire.
The building was owned by the Rut-
land Railway, Light & Power Co. The
loss on the building was about $4,000.
The loss on the laundry equipment,
owned by A. l. Wheeler, of No. 10 Pine
street, including the horses and hay, was
over $1,000.
Mr.. Wheeler, who had owned the
laundry sice last July, stated this morn
ing that there was about $4,000 insur-
ance on the machinery.

cHEERED FOR 20 MINUTES.
William Sulzer Began His Stump Speak.
ing Last Night.

New York, Oct. William Sulzer
last night entered upon the campaign
which he hopes viii result in his return
to public office as an assemblyman in
the state legislature. In a series OF
speeches in the sixth assembly district
where he is the candidate on the Pro-
gressive ticket, he attacked Charles f.
Murphy and the court of impeachment
which removed him from the office OF
governor. Everywhere great crowds
turned out to hear him talk. The meet
ing halls he visited could not hold all
who wished to hear and he made ad-
dresses in the streets At one place
they cheered him 20 minutes before al
lowing him to proceed.
Sulzer reiterated many of the asser-
tions contained in his statement issued
in Albany after the impeachment court
voted for his removal. Every night dur
ing his campaign, he announced, he
would ask Murphy given question
which he requested Murphy to answer.
John A. Hennessy, who acted as spe-
cial investigator for Sulzer as governor,
resumed his speechmaking for the fusion
city ticket last night He centered his
attack, as on previous occasions, upon
Edward E. Mccall, Tammany mayoralty
candidate, and Murphy.
Judge Mccall made speeches at sew
eral Democratic meetings. In none of
them did he refer directly to the Hem
messy charges, dwelling chiefly on the
fusion candidate for mayor, also on
a speechmaking tour, devoting consid
cradle time to discussion of the person-
ality of the opposing party.

REVIEWS HIS THREAT
AGAINST EMPLOYERS
Secretary Redfeld Says Department of
Commerce Has Net Abandoned
Plan to Investigate the
Reduction of Wages.

Flint. Mich, Oct. 23.-Notice was
served on employers of labor last night
by Secretary Redfeld, of the department
of commerce, that he had not abandoned
its intention to investigate reductions OF
wages, made under the plea that the new
tariff compelled retrenchment. The sec
retary voiced his warning in an address
to the Flint Board ofCommesce.
"When it was suggested some months
ago" he said, ''that the inquiry powers
of the department might under certain
conditions be used to learn whether con
ditions in any general industry were
such as to Justify reduction of wages
when alleged TO be mace because of tar
if changes, there appeared very general
comments on the alleged action, whicn
comments were chiefly remarkable for
their vigor in dealing with an assumed
state of facts that did not exist. An
attitude of courteous candor, which was
not for a moment misunderstood by the
gentlemen who were directly concerned,
was so altered in the telling of it as to
put the department in the position of
menacing individuals and establishments
with hostile intrusion, if excuse could be
found for so doing.
"When the dreful results which proph-
cts of evil foretold did rot occur the
facile imaginations of some editors led
them to say that the secretary OF com
merce had withdrawn from his attitude.
The secretary OF commerce has done no
such thing. He accepts no responsible
ity for the vagarious remarks they would
have him say and which they would like
to criticise. The views expressed in the
address, because of which all the dust
arose, have not been changed and the ac-
tion that was suggested in that address
will be taken if the circumstances sug
gested therein should arise and seem to
make IL necessary.
Meanwhile the department will not
be 'bluffed' by those who wish it to err
into action which would have for the
sole basis of its existence the hope of
some that it might make mistake.
The secretary declared that the threats
of reduction in wages as result OF the
tariff law had become few of
late. That he attributed directly to the
of the administration that it
would act promptly where such threats
were carried out.
