Little Forgiveness.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
II you assume that we VINO i'm 1912 saw the
Republican party rent in twain by your third
term candidate are going TO give him that
support which he will need to beat Wilson.
you honor US overmuch in credltng us with
a spirit Of forgiveness which would blot out
the past and which prophesy is a case where
YOU cannot deliver the goods.
Mr.. Taft is out Of il. and the only way TO
restore harmony in all fairness would be for
the Colonel to keep out, too, and work with
all his might to defeat the man whom he
more than any other ono man made possible.

Greedy School Teachers.

The pension proposal which the city,
school teachers rejected 50 decisively in a
referendum was more than fair to them.
1t was generous-so generous that 1t was
unfair to the taxpayers. It would have
brought about a reorganization on sound
actuarial basis. Of fund now in bank
rupcy. placing it where it could not pos
sibly be a source Of worry for any school
teacher in the future. 1t bound the city
10 contribute out Of taxes a dollar for each
dollar of the contributions of the school
teachers; while if at any time con
tributor wished to withdraw the fund
would have to pay back all contributions
plus per cent interest, compounded.
This liberal offer was refused-so far
as the school teachers can refuse what IS
now a question Of pending legislation
because most of them thought they were
not getting enough out of the city. That
is the trouble with thousands Of the New
York City school teachers. From the time
they began running to the Legislature to
lobby through salary increases, regardless
Of the state Of the city treasury, thelr
dominant thought has seemed TO be how
much they could grab from the pubic
funds. They are now highly paid, prob
ably more highly paid than any other
teachers in the country, or in the world.
Yet they want morc-they demand more;
they form lobbying organizations and
haunt the lawmakers for laws which shall
protect them and their salaries, and they
oppose any proposal to let the local
authorities fix their rates Of pay.
In this pension question the teaching
corps happened to be split. The majority
apparently believing that they had some
kind Of legal claim on the city govern
ment which would compel it TO shoulder
any burden they decided it should assume
rejected what the others had decided
was as much as they could hope to extract.
The impudence. the greedlness. which
have characterized the whole discussion
cannot have failed to antagonize the tax
pavers-those poor individuals whose
duty it is to pay the freight.
There is no doubt that the city has =
moral obligation necessarily legal
one by any mcans-to straghten out the
present retirement fund. But fairness to
the taxpayers and strict justice to the
school teachers demand nothing more than
that. Any contribution which the city
makes to "A new retirement fund beyond
adjusting the deficit of the present one Is
a gift-that and nothing more--out of the
taxpayers pockets. The school teachers
are looking a gift horse in the mouth, AMI
that. proverbally, is bad policy.

witnesses this marvellous reproduction
he cannot believe that Griffith, as has
been said of him, has been all these
years nursing his wrath against the
north and struck with this mighty
weapon when he knew he could do the
most far reaching damage to the cause
of his country's enemies. He will be-
lieve, rather, that Griffith, being a
great artist, saw his chance to alarm
the world with the greatest, most dy.
mamie thing yet and he took it, with
the result that all readers today
knows" The result of his labor and
of all this discussion will appear at

MANAGEMENT OF HERD BOAR
Best to Get Good Animal and Keep
Him for Years-Feed SparingIy
of Fattening Foods.

1t is not best to let the boar run
with the rest of the herd. 1t is too
common a practice to sell the boar
when the season is over. This is
largely the cause of so many small
litters and weak-boned pigs. 1t is best
to get good boar, and keep him for
few years, and as he natures his
pigs will be stronger and litters
larger.
Have small yard of grass if pos
sible, hog tight and away from the
sows, so he will not be worried. A
quarter Of an acre will afford plenty of
exercise in the open air. When grass
is not available, give him cut clover
or any other good green feed that he
will eat.
Feed sparingly OF fattening feeds
but give him feed that will keep him
growing if he is not fully developed.
Mill stuff, skim milk, clover, alfalfa or
anything that furnishes protein is adj
visable. AT all times keep supply OF
ashes, salt and charcoal where he can
obtain 1t at will. 1t will do much to-
ward keeping him in good health.

BEES AND CLOVER SEED
Cross Polarization THROUGH
Agency of Insect Is Efficient.
Maintenance Of Adequate Acreage Of
Glover Has Become a Rather Sc
rious Problem on Account Of
Small Supply Of Seed.

Mechanical devices for pollinating
red clover have not been found sue
cessful by investigators who have
been studying the problem of red clo-
yer seed production. On the other
hand, the investigators found that the
bumblebee is an efficient cross-pollina-
tor, and that under certain conditions
the honeybee may also be most useful.
For some years there has been an
insufficient supply of homegrown red
clover seed. AS a result not only has
the price OF the seed been high, but
large quantities Of foreign seed, which
Is frequently inferior to the domestic,
have had to be imported. In conse-
quence, the maintenance of an ade-
quate clover acreage has become
rather serious problem. To remedy
the situation, attempts have been made
to ascertain the minimum quantities
or seed per acre required to secure a
satisfactory stand and the conditions
necessary 20 maintain such q stand.
In addition, efforts have been made to
develop heavy seeding, hardy strain
of clover. and finally various mechani.
Cal forms OF pollination have been
experienced with.
A professional paper Of the United
States department of agriculture has
recently been published containing re-
suits OF experiments which show that
the yield Of seed obtained on heads
which were not pollinated or which
were self-pollinated in different ways.
was practically negligible. The actual
amount was less than one-half of one
per cent, and this Insignificant guam
tity, 1t is said, may be accounted for
by accidental pollination from outside
sources. In contrast with these re-
suits it was found that the humble
Dee was able to pollinate from 80 to
80 flowers minute in dry weather.
"hen few nectarproducing plants are
available it was found that the honey
bee also collects large quantities of
pollen from red clover and in the pro- |
cess cross-pollinhation of the flowers
takes place.

REARING CHICKS WITH HENS
Fowls Should Be Confined to Slightly
Oarkened Nests at Matching Time
and Not Disturbed.

Sitting hens do best when confined
10 slightly darkened nests at Matching
time and not disturbed unless they
step on or pick their chickens when
Matching. In the latter case the chick
ems may be removed as soon as dry, in
a basket lined with flannel or some
other worm material, and kept near a
nre until all the eggs are Matched. In
place OF this the eggs may be removed
and placed under quieter hen whose
eggs are Matching at the same time.
An incubator may also be used to
keep the earliest Matched chickens
warm, in case they are removed from
the nest.
IL the eggs hatch unevenly, those
which are slow in Matching may be
placed under other hens, as hens often
get restless after part of the chick
ems are out, allowing the remaining
eggs to become cooled at the very
timo when steady heat is necessary.
IL Is necessary to remove the egg
shells and any eggs which have not
matched as soon as the Matching is
over. Hens are fed as soon as DOS
slple after the eggs are Matched, as
FEEDING tends to keep them quiet;
otherwise hens will leave the nest.

TREE ROOTS NEED ATTENTION
One OF Best Methods Is to Dip Bundle
in Pool of Water Upon Arrival
From Nursery.

When planting, all possible pains
should be taken TO prevent the roots Of
apple trees from being exposed to the
air for even few minutes. One of
the best methods is to dip the bundle
In tank or pool of water as soon as
1t arrives, open in a shady, sheltered
place and heel in the roots in good.
moist soil while the holes are being
dug and the planting begun. The
holes. which should be large enough to
accommodate the roots without bend
ing or bruising, we prefer to dig as
the trees are set, so that the soil will
not lose its moisture by being exposed
TO the sun and wind. In planting, place
tho tree in the hole little deeper than
1t stood IN the nursery A very con.
venient way OF preventing exposure
OF the roots while carrying them from
the place where they are heeled in. is TO
prepare pail or small box OF mud and
place IL in wheelbarrow, using il to
convey portion OF the trees with
their roots immersed in the mud to
the planting ground. where they NAV
be taken out one at a time as they
are needed without any exposure what
ever.
