TRADE UNION A SOCIAL INSTITUTION.

All attempts to osracize the labor as fostering
sel1shness must fail. This is social day. and the
union is social institution
The social spirit has too strong hold on the public
to insist the right of the individual to do as he
pleases.
Such right does not exist in society,"
In society every mans rights are subject to his
obligations to his fellows.
No has right to work, nor has any right to
employ under conditions injurious to the interests of
society.
To appreciate the labor union it is necessary to

CLEVELAND, Jan. 16.-There is a

of the union painters in this city to

1.-THE DOG UNDER :.
II" THE WAGON"

Come, wife," said good, old Farm
er Gray,
Put on your things, it's market day;
And We'll be off to the nearest town,
There and back ere the sun goes
down.
Spot? No, we'll leave old Spot be-
hind.
But Spot he barked and Spot he
whined,
And soon made up his doggish mind
To follow under the wagon.
Away they went at a good round pace,
And joy came into the farmers face,
Poor Spot" said he. did want to
come,
But I'm awful glad he's left at home.
He'll guard the barn, and guard the
colt,
And keep the cattle out of the LOTT;
I'm not so sure Of that" thought
Spot,
The dog under the wagon.
The farmer, all his produce sold
And got his pay in yellow gold;
Home through the lonely forest.
A robber springs from behind a. tree;
Your money or else your life," says
he,
The moon was up, but he didn't see
The dog under the wagon.
Spot ne'er barked and Spot ne'er
whined
But quickly caught the thief behind;
He dragged him down in the mire
And tore his coat and tore his shirt,
Then held him fast on the miry
ground:
The robber uttered not g. sound,
While his hands and feet the farmer
bound
And tumbled him into the wagon.
So Spot, he saved the farmers life,
The farmers money, the farmers
wife.
And now a hero, grand and gay,
A silver collar he wears today;
Among his friends. among his foes
And everywhere his master goes
He follows on his horny toes,
The dog under the wagon.

The mother should receive no feed
at all for about twenty-four hours af-
ter giving birth to the pigs. She is
feverish, though. and should be hber-
ally supplied with fresh water. The
second day after narrowing she should
be given a small feed. 1t is we'll to
start her on light slop made up OF
shorts and skimmiIk. If there is no
skimmilk on hand. mix about four
parts of corn with one part Of shorts,
cowpeas, or soy-bean meal and give a
small quantity. She should be grad
ually brought up to a full feed; this
should require about three weeks. II
she is overfed at first the pigs are apt
to take scours and thumps. When
she is on full feed she will be eating
daily an amount equivalent to about
4 per cent. of her live weight, provid-
ed she is not on pasture. If she has
the run of a good leguminous pasture.
at least one-half OF the grain will be
saved. If she has no pasture. she
should be fed just about as she was
fed before narrowing except that she
should receive more feed.
When the pasture is composed
mainly Of blue grass or Bermuda
grass she should receive a grain feed

GROWING RED CLOVER CROF

All for Farm TroubIes-Humus

The production of clover is the
foundation of agriculture in the east
ern and north central states. writes
J. M. Westgate and F. H. Hillman
United States department of agricul
ture, as upon its successful growth
depends to a large extent the main
tenance of the nitrogen content of the
soils in the principal crop-producing
sections.
Glover must not be looked upon as
a cure-all for farm troubles. Its roots
do add large quantities of the very
valuable nitrogen and humus to the
soil. but aside from bringing up
limited supply Of phosphoric acid and
potash from the lower layers of the
soil it does not add the other impor
tant fertilizer elements to the soil up
on which it grows. upon many soils
these elements particularly phos.

as though no clover was being grown
upon them.
So long as the soil is fairly we'll sup
piled with humus, and it is not too
tilizer elements, there is usually nc
difficulty in obtaining successful
stands of clover by the ordinary meth.
DDS Of seeding; but when continued
cropping reduces the humus content
OF the soil to a point below that re-
quired for successful clover produc.

to adopt radical means to restore the
ground to it's proper condition.

the failure of the clover in a section
is but prophecy of the early failure
of other leading crops in that particu.
lar section. The substitution of alsike

J and the presence of funguous diseases
or insect enemies, must also be over

Lining and proper drainage will
overcome the soil acidity. The insect
and fungous diseases may be held in
check by clipping or cutting at the
proper time, and by furnishing the
proper soil conditions to produce a
crop so vigorous that it will succeed
in spite of the enemies which prove
troublesome to less vigorous stands

IMPORTS OF FARM PRODUCTS
Immense Amount of Money Paid to
Foreigners That Should Have
Gone to American Farmers.

The tremendous acreage planted
to corn last year developed the ever
present pessimist who talked about
over-production and a consequent
lowering of prices to the injury of
the farmers market. These people
do not know that last year the United
States imported s6,S00,000 worth of
oats, more than s2,OO0.00O worth of
potatoes, $1,OO0,0O0 worth of peas,
over 100000 worth of beans,
sS,0O0,O00 worth of sugar, $3,50O,0O0
worth of tobacco. This is money paid
to foreigners which should have gone
into the pockets of the American
farmers if they had raised enough of
these several products. AS long as
our population increases as rapidly as
1t does now, there is little danger of
over production of farm products.

soon as they begin TO eat When
good pasture is available and the
mother is fed literally OF the proper
feeds. the little pigs will need llttie
in addition to what they obtain IRON
the pasture and the mother. But the
pigs will make use OF some additional
feed. especially If the litter is a large
one.
The pigs will begin to eat when they
are about three weeks old II they are
given the opportunity. For these
young animals nothing is superior &c
skimmilk mixed with shorts. Many
farmers have no skimmllk. though.
so something else must be used. In
such case probably the best thing to
feed is thin slop OF shorts up to the
time that the pigs are from four to
six weeks old. after which the ration
should be made up Of equal parts OF
corn meal and shorts.
These young animals should never
be fed corn alone. The feed for the
pigs must be fed in separate troughs,
around which a fence has been built
to keep the sows away
There is no advantage to be gained
by pushing the pigs too rapidly with
supplementary feeds. They should
not be fed much fattening feeds. as
corn: they should rather be given
feeds which tend to make bone and
muscle. as skimmilk. shorts. pasture,
cowpeas. soy bean meal. etc. so that
when the time arrives to finish then
for the market they will have well

If the soil of your garden is in good
mechanical condition-that is, if 1t

cayed vegetable matter-excellent re-
suits in the way of fertilizing may be
obtained without the inconvenience
of handling ordinary manure. Sheep
manure may be bought in sacks and
is excellent. 1t gives Immediate re-
suits. Strewn over and dug into the

In drills or hills, it promotes rapid.

producing a mixture which can be
used safely daily If necessary.
Bonemeal is good. but is not a com
plete fertilizer. Wood ashes should be
used with caution, as the large
amount of I've they contain may do
mischief.
The best chemical fertilizer is what
Is known as complete fertilizer
which is supplied under various
names. Ask when you buy it, how to
use it and be sure to use no more than
the directions permit. A very light
sprinkling over the soil after spadine
