There was CONSERVATION in the
camps of the Building Construction
Employers assn and the Carpenter
Contractors assn today when the
Brinswick-Balke-C oIlendar Co. de-
serted the ranks and went over to the
side of the unions.
The Brunswick Bake Collendar
Co. signed the individual agreements
proffered by the carpenters, wood fin
ishers and cabinet makers in direct
defiance to the will of the employers
assn. B. Benzinger, president of the
company, personally signed the
agreement. Further, Mr.. Benzinger
announced that the company had
sold its Dubuque, Ia, plant, where all
of it's western inside work is done,
and would in future do all of this
work in Chicago, paying nearly twice
the wages paid in Dubuque. 500 men
will be given work here atonce.
Immediate arbitration, either with
or without the aid of the state board,
was asked in a letter to the carpen-
tiers by the State Board of Arbitration
following meeting this morning. If
this fails, the board advises the men
to go to work at once and arbitrate
later.
Secretaries Daniel Calvin, carpen-
tiers, and Lawrence Lindelof, painters,
say they do not fear the threat of the
Building Construction Employers
assn to cut off building supplies to
the contractors who have signed the
agreement favored by the unions.
They say the assn will be powerless
to enforce such decree.

PROVIDING A COMPLETE FEED
Gill of Linseed Meal Added to Pint of
Milk Used in Mixing Ground
Grain Is Satisfactory.

Milk cannot take the place of meat,
as 1t is not sufficiently concentrated.
hence the hens could not drink enough
of it to supply their wants. If gill
OF linseed meal is added to a pint of
milk and the milk the used for mix
ing ground grain it will largely assist
In providing a complete food. Milk
should be given in vessels which will
prevent filth from getting into 1t. and
vessels cleaned daily.
Wheat is standard food for poul-
try. and farmers have contented them
selves that grain is sufficient, but it
has been demonstrated that when
.resh milk hes been given to chicks
intended to be sold as fries" the
gain, when milk is added to the grain
ration, is nearly twice as much as
when grain alone is used. If milk can

WHlTEWAsH. FOR THE TREES
Excellent Protection Afforded to Bark
From Sunburn and Borers-
Keeps Rabbits Away.

Whitewash is an excellent protec-
ton to the bark from both sunburn
and borers. 1t is particularly valu-
able for young trees, as after trees
reach a good size the branches gen.
orally become sufficiently large and
the foliage sufficiently thick to shade
the bark and prevent the injury that
the hot sun would otherwise do.
The best time to apply the white
wash is in the early spring, or before
the sun has become too hot and yet at
a time when the danger of heavy rains
washing of the lime is passed. II is
not we'll to delay too long or the sun
burn may occur in clear weather be-
tween rains.
There are dozens of whitewash reci-
pes, all with merit, some more dur
able than others, and durable white
wash is generally to be desired. For
fruit trees a whitewash can be made
by the addition of tallow, which is
durable and also a protection against
rabbits. Such a wash can be made
with 80 pounds of lime. 4 pounds Of
tallow and pounds of salt The salt
is dissolved in the water used in
shaking the lime and the tallow added
to the hot mixture, which is thinned
to the desired consistency before using.
Spoiled fat or grease of any kind
can be substituted for the tallow and
the amount can be increased If de-
sired. If there is danger of attract
ing animals by the salt, 1t can be left
out.

back somewhat, as when the top is
to be replaced with new growth OF the
same variety. and then insert the buds
on the new branches that develop
after the tree has been deheaded
When this course is followed the buds
should be inserted in the new growth
as near the trunk as is practicable. in
order to have as large a portion OF
the top as possible of the new variety.
This is also desirable on account OF
the subsequent management of the
tree.
Top-working is sometimes done by
grating instead of budding. The or
binary cleft graft is generally used in
such cases. However, budding is to
be preferred, especially as the wounds
made in grating do not heal readily
in the case of the peach. though when
properly done the union of stock and
scion is generally strong enough to
make a fairly serviceabie tree But
troubles inciden, to the difficulties in
the healing CT the wounds are likely
to occur.
The United States department of
agriculture, Washington, D. G., will
send interested fruit growers, free of
charge. its Farmers Bulletin (No
632) on Growing Peaches" which
gives in detail much information on
the pruning of trees. renewal of tops,
thinning. interplanted crops, and spe
cial practices of interest to orchardists
and farmers.
