SWINDLESSH0WNUP
Some Of the Defects" Of SChed-
uIe X Made Plain.
Professed Protection to American La
Dor at American Wages Never
More Than Catch Phrase,
as Has Been Proved.

We have an authoritative account
Of some OF the swindles Of schedule X
In the Century Magazine from Chief
Statistician Stone of Mr. Tafts tariff
board.
Schedule X as It stands is shown to
be swindle In It's protection" to
woolgrowers, who we're supplying
three-fourths Of the American wool
consumption fifty years ago and are
now supplying little more than a half.
It is shown to be swindle against
the carded-wool branch of the manu-
facture in favor of the combing or
worsted wool branch dominated by
the Wooden trust.
1t is a swindle In its professed pro-
lection to American labor at American
wages. as Is shown In the fact that no
other skilled labor Is paid so. low a
wage as that Of the wool-manufac-
turer.
1t Is again a swindle In presuming
that high wage rates mean high cost
of production, when the Tariff board
found to the contrary.
Mr. Stone directs attention to an
iniquity not 80 well known which
doubles up on all the others. This is
achieved through Compensatory" du-
ties which on most imported cloth
allow a protection of four times per
pound the wool duty Of II cents be-
fore the manufacturer begins to col
lect his net protection of so to IS
per cent
Accordingly as the manufacturer
mixes cotton or other cheap substi-
tutes, he adds the compensatory"
duties to his net protection. To the
wooi-grower he hands shoddy suit
at wool prices while lodging the pro-
tected obligation to buy wool from
him. To his cheap immigrant labor
he passes half-cotton dress goods at
protection prices, after denying its
share in the wool protection. To
American consumers at large he palms
off for wool cotton and shoddy cloth
ing and blankets under a sneak pro-
lection sometimes as much as 100
per cent.
To its open patronage of delusive
and fraudulent protection, schedule X
adds this hidden measure of privileged
evasion and robbery. Revision on the
basis Of free wool as in the Under
wood bill can alone knock out all this
ipiquity.

MUCH TOLD IN THE LETTER
EpIstle Better Than Any Other POSI-
bile Means of Getting a True
Acquaintance.

Do you really want to get well ac-
quainted with your friend or your
sweetheart? Then go away for
while, where correspondence will be-
come necessary. There is nothing
like letter writing to bring out many
things that would remain hidden from
the beloved in ordinary conversation.
There may be many things hidden in
your own self that you do not suspect
People who have become thoroughly
familiar with each other sometimes
become lazy about expressing them
selves when they are together. A
few commonplaces, hand-clasp,
glance-these often suffice. But in the
letter one must express himself, and
much better and more clearly than
when there is expression of the face
and gesture to assist in an interpreta-
ton. You will never really know your
beloved until you have had opportu-
nifty for a long and full correspon-
dence in writing.

Sweet clover is crop that is well
adapted for growing on all soils in
the state except those that are poorly
drained For certain purposes and for
growing where alfalfa and red clover
cannot be successfully produced it has
considerable value.
For quick results in improving soils
it is superior to most other crops. 1t
may be pastured by cattle with little
danger Of bloating and for this pur-
pose is to be preferred to alfalfa. For
other purposes, if either red clover or
alfalfa can be grown successfully they
will be found to be more desirable.
If, however, these crops cannot be
grown because of climatic soil condi-
tions, then the use of sweet clover is
advised as the most valuable substi-
tute. OF the various kinds of sweet
clover the white lowered variety is
best.
To seed sweet clover successfully a
thoroughly compacted seed bed is
necessary, with just enough loose soil
on top to enable the seed to be COW
cred. The lack Of a solid seed bed is
probably the chief reason why sweet
clover so often fails when seeded upon
cultivated fields. II it is necessary to
pillow the ground in preparing it for
sweet clover, the blowing should be
done several months before seeding.
1t is usually best to seed on corn
ground or after some other interrilled
crop and depend on implements that
merely stir the surface of the soil to
prepare the seed bed.
The best time to SOW is in the late
summer or early fall, although good
results can be obtained by early spring
seeding. There is no danger Of seed
ing it too early in the spring. About
20 to 30 pounds of the hulled seed and
at least five pounds more Of the I'M
hulled seed per acre is required. Best
results can be obtained by seeding
with a grain drill that is equipped with
grass seeder and press wheel attach
ments. Care should be taken not to
seed too deeply. Where sweet clover
is not growing naturally in the locality
1t may be necessary to innoculate the
son In order to establish a stand. This
can be done by scattering over the
field two or three hundred pounds OF

Tariff hYpocrIsY.

There is a shoe manufacturing con-
Germ in this country which processes
to view the Underwood tariff bill with
great and unselfish alarm. 1t has pro-
tested that If this bill passes wages
in the shoe manufacturing industry
in America will drop to the level Of
"pauper labor" In Europe. In pure
philanthropy, in sweet and holy love
for its employees, this company i'm
plores congress not to cut off the tar
if subsidy which incorporated shoe
makers now enjoy
officers of this corporation have add
mitted to an investigating committee
that they pay five cents for fastening
seventy-two shoe tips. The penalty
for spelling tip is five cents. If a
girl makes a single error In her driv-
ing work she must sew six dozen tips
for nothing.
And this company cries for "protec-
ton to American labor!"

Labor and the Tariff.

Tariff barons are at their old game
of trying to scare the wage-earner
into support of their robbery. Cut
the tariff and we must cut wages!"
they cry. Help US to rob the Ameri-
can public, or we will pocket half
the contents of your pay envelope!"
The only effect that the Aldrlch tar
if has on labor is to increase the
cost of everything that labor buys.
Labor is on the free list. 1t is import.
ed, duty free, in enormous quantities
every year.
1t was estimated that 95 per cent
of the striking mill hands at Lawrence
we're foreign born. The leaders OF
that strike printed circulars in eight
or nine different languages, and made
speeches in seventeen.

Immediately.
No treatment is required the first
season unless it is necessary to cut
back weeds which threaten to choke
out the clover plants This clipping
should be at height of five or six
inches. The clover may be pastured
during the late summer and fall, or a
hay crop may be obtained.
The second year crop of hay and
one of seed or two crops of hay can
be obtained. For hay the crop should
be cut about the time the first bloom
buds appear. Care should be taken to
cut the stubble rather high. When the
production of seed is desired best re-
suits can be obtained if no hay crops
are cut, although satisfactory crops Of
seed can often be secured after a crop
of hay has been removed. For best
results in pasturing sweet clover 1t
must not be allowed to become coarse
and woody. A tender succulent
growth should be maintained by clip

Don't be in the William class. Think
over few modern thoughts. Take on

they amt no sech ANIMAL" when he
saw his first giraffe.
While the type or form of the COW is
an indication of her value as dairy
animal, this should not be taken as
final proof Of her ability as an econom-
ical producer After the cows are in
the herd, there is no excuse for rec
ords of production not being known.
Such records can be kept and used to-
distinguish between the profitable and
Improbable animals in the herd. To
dispose of the latter and raise the
heifer calves from the best cows, is
sure to increase the productiveness
and profits of the herd.
Send to the dairy department of the
agricultural college for some milk
sheets, They won't cost you a cent.
Get proper milk pail. Buy pair of
spring balance scales. Put the milk
sheet on the wall of the barn; fasten a
pencil nearby on a string. Suspend
the scales from the ceiling. There you
are, all ready.
Keep a complete record of the milk
from each COW from the time she
freshens until she is dry. Figure up
the total amount of milk given during
the milking period and calculate the
income from each COW, figuring the
milk sold at the current market prices.
If the milk is sold by the gallon, as
certain the number of gallons of milk
given in year; a gallon of milk
weighs S.66 pounds. A COW must make
an income of at least $35 per year be-
fore she pays for her food and care.
The exact cost of her feed can be OBJ
tanned by keeping record of the
grain and hay she eats, and figuring
the cost at the market prices of the
feed.
Where the milk is separated and
the cream sold on the butter-fat basis,
one must keep record of the pounds
of butter fat produced by each COW.
To do this, the milk must be weighed
each day as described and tested by
the Babcock test. Testing sample Of
milk once a month is sufficient for this
record To get sample of milk for
testing, take a small sample (about
three tablespoonsfulD of milk from
the milk of each COW for each milking
for two days. The milk should be
mixed before sampling.
Place this milk from each COW in a
bottle and label the sample
from each COW. Test each sample
for butter fat by the Babcock test as
described below.
To find the amount of butter fat pro
duced by each COW for the month, find
the total amount of milk given during
the month and use the test as OBJ
tanned from the two days sample as
the average test for the month.
