Congress Is Threatened.

Developments in Washington yesterday seem
ed to show concusively that Congress intends
to protect the people of the nation from the
horrors of railroad strike by accepting the
Presidents plan of surrender to the trainmen,
Apparently the leaders in Congress have reached
the conclusion that to yield to the trainmens S
demand by granting them increase in pay in
the guse OF eight-hour day now is the only
way to prevent the strike.
Stripped OF technical language and confusing
figures, the situation seems to be simple to un-
derstand. The tranmen, pleading the eight
hour day went into the White House and de-
manded increase in wages. The President,
believing that society sanctions the eight-hour
day, virtually decided to grant the increase in
wages. The President then addressed Congress,
urging, among other things, the enactment of
legislation for eight-hour day that would give
the wage increase demanded by the trainmen.
Congress now apparently is preparing to enact
this legislation, yielding just enough to the train
men to prevent the strike.
Many persons hold the view that President
Wilson had other course than the he
followed and that Congress has no other course
than the one it apparently is planning to fol-
low Whether this view is correct will be de-
termined by time
The situation is OF the most remarkable
that has confronted the nation. We see
Congress being forced to enact legislation by the
strike threat of labor organization. Congress
is composed of men elected for the purpose of
legislsting for the people, but now Congress
faces the task of enactng legislation to protect
the people against comparatively small group
Of men,
Whatever the outcome organized labor is
likely to suffer. Public opinion has backed labor
because labor has been fighting a fight for hu-
manity. But in this fight labor is not fighting
for humanity. The trainmen numbering $4,000
men, who rank among the best paid employees in
railroad service using their ability to infct
suffering human beings to force Congress to
pass bill giving them higher wages. The train
men already have lost public sympathy and
every hour they gaining public cnmity
Whatever the outcome the people not likely
to forget how they have been used by the train
men.
Wise in Washington say there will be
no strike. To call off the strike now they poin,
out, would avail the trainmen little and all indi-
cations point to victory if they remain silent
and allow Congress and the people to believe
that the horrors Of a strike drawing closer
with every hour.
Indications point to victory for the train
men. They have demanded higher wages Presi-
dent Wilson has decided they should receive
higher wages. Congress seems about to enact
law giving them higher wages II they get
higher wages the people must pay.

THE PASSING OF SUMNER

The PASSING OF SUMNER.
Upon September's dawn
The cry of Summers gone"
Is sounded everywhere
With sad and solemn air.
Not so is it with me
I rather sing with glee;
The Summers tasks are done.
Her prizes rare are won.
Her fields and pastures titled.
Her promises fulfilled,
By Natures own command
To Autumn's outstretched hand
She passes on the toll
OF garnering the spoil,
The while with smiling zcst
She turns herself to rest.
Not gone, as some have grieved,
But all her tasks achieved
She joys in the content Z
OF full accomplishment"

Congress without recommendations of any sort.

FARM FERTILIZERS
HAVE GREAT VALUE
Barnyard Manure improves Soil
and Makes 1t Easier to Han
dIe-0ther Benefits.

Barliyard manure has value on tue
farm aside from that as a fertilizer.
1t improves the physical conditions Of
the soil and makes it easier to handle.
Its decay produces heat and it's pres
ence aids chemical and bacterial proc.
esses. Moreover, it absorbs and holds
a large amount of water ind helps to
aerate the soil. The benefits of these
indirect aids to plant growth are in
some cases worth as much as the fer
tilizing power of the manure.
These are observations made by F..
l.. Kennard, agronomist in the North
west experiment station at Crookston,
in response to numerous questions re-
ceivCd from farmers.
When 1t is added that bernyard man.
ure is worth perhaps $3.50 u ton, and
that each farm animal produces from
five to seven tons per 1000 pounds Of
live weight each year, 1t is easy to see
that as fertilizer the material should
not be wasted. n
The best practice is to hau, the stuff
directly from the barn to the fields. II
this is done, there is little loss through
fermentation or teaching.

For several years comparative tests
have been made by the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station of narrowing and roll
ing winter wheat, the following ac-
count of which is given by Mr.. Z. G.
Montgomery:
Plats were seeded to Turkish red
winter wheat, some sown broadcast,
others put in with press drill. Some
of the plats were narrowed In both
fall and spring. while others were har-
rowed only In the spring. while third
set was rolled.
1t was quite evident from the re-
suits that no benefit was derived from
the narrowing. In fact narrowing
broadcast wheat resulted In an aver
age loss of almost three bushels per
acre, while narrowing drilled wheat
resulted in a loss of nine-tenths Of a
bushel per acre."
The results from rolling were con-
elusive. In no year did it fail ito give
an increased yield, the average in
crease being 81 bushels per acre"
The rolling was given early in the
spring, soon after frost was out, and
about the time growth started. Har-

Red clover blossoms contain about

The authors of the bulletin strongly
recommend for acute bloating one
quart of 1h per cent solution OF for

WHOLE cows MILK
is BEST FOR CALF
indigestion Often Results When
Young Animals Are Raised
on Skim Milk.

(By GEORGE II. CLOVER, Colorado
Agricultural College. Fort Collins. Colo)
Calves raised ON skim milk are
usually runty, pot-bellied, and suffer
indigestion. Whole cows milk is a
perfect food for the calf, but skim
milk is not. When the fat is removed
a substitute is sometimes made by
adding a handful of fiaxseed meal or
cornmeal, but this sort of fat is not
a full substitute for butterfat.
It is still debatable question
rob the future COW by stunning the calf
for the sake Of immediate profits. The
practice Of taking the calf Immediately
away from the COW is the usual thing
in the dairies and, assuming that it Is
an economical thing to do, the ques-
ton is how to feed calves on artificial
food and keep them growing properly.
During the first few weeks the calf
is not capable of digesting normally
any food save whole cows milk. If
he must subsist on skim milk, little
fiaxseed meal or oornmeal had better
be added to the ration. The milk
should always be given warm and
never when it is frothy. Calves should
never be given enough skim milk to
entirely satisfy their hunger. II indi-
gestion develops, they should he kept
on short rations for day or two. If
scours develop little formalin added
to the milk, combined with restrict
ed diet, will usually control it within
a few days.

DRAINAGE ADDS TO
ACRES AND PROFITS
Practice improves Physical Con,
dition of Soil by Making 1t
Porous and FriabIe.

Lands that are too wet for tho most
profitable production of crops should
be drained. Even uplands may often
be drained with profit. especially hill
sides subject to erosion or inclined to
be "spouty." Indeed, drainage is
profitable wherever 1t is necessary to
the fullest use of the land.
It is not uncommon for lands too
wet for cultivation to produce, when
drained, 60 or 20 bushels of corn or
oats to the acre. On much OF the
drained land the increase OF yield is
from 90 to 100 per cent. and by the
increase yield and the decreased cost
of cultivation the value OF the land
is often doubled.
Drainage improves the physical con-
dition Of the soil by making 1t more
porous and friable.
Drained land can be plowed earlier
in the spring than undrained land.
Health conditions are also improved
by the drainage of swamps and stand.

TIME TO PRUNE APPLE TREES
Early Spring Is Recommended-Se-
we're Pruning Not Necessary
Do tho Work Gradually.

Early spring is the best time to
prune apple trees. More and more at
tention is being given to the pruning
of young and old trees in order that
they may be able to support large
loads Of fruit. Yet too many trees
have been neglected and now look like
brush heaps instead of fruit trees.
Neglected trees should have all dead
and interlocking branches removed
this year. Next year a few more
needless branches should be taken out
and some of the others shortened.
The following year others should be
cut out. In this way severe pruning
is not necessary and tree is gof
into good form gradually.
