WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE first
step in the effort OF President Wilson
to prevent the threatened tie-up of the
country's railroads by strike, ended at
noon today when representatives for
the employees left the white house
smiling broadly. They had been in
conference with the president an hour
and half.
"The negotiations are entirely in the
Presidents hands," said A. B. Garrett
son, spokesman for the employees. He
refused to discuss the situation be-
yond that.
Warren S. Stone, representative o:
the brotherhood of locomotive engirr
eers said: Il am optimistic"
w. P. Lee of the order of railway
trainmen added: 1T looks very good" !"
Employees Come Again.
The employees were to see the presi-
dent again this afternoon following his
talk with the representatives of rail-
way managers which was schDduled
for three p. m. The president spent
part of the intervening time going
over the stenographic report of the
morning session in order to formulate
Proposals to make to the managers.

BEST FEED FOR BROOD SOWS
Equal Parts of Corn and Wheat Shorts
Is Recommended by Expert of
the Texas Station.

(By JOHN c. BURNS. Texas Experiment
Station
One OF the best ratiOns that can be
used for sow sucking pigs is equal
parts by weight of corn and wheat
shorts made into a slop with skim
milk. using two pounds of milk for
every pound of the grain mixture. II
skim milk is not available a good IA
ton may be formed by using the pro
portions by weight of three parts
wheat shorts and one part corn made
into a thick slop with water
Another good ration may be formed
by using the proportions by weight OF
seven parts corn and one part tankage
or meat meal. If available at lower
prices ground kafir, maize or feterita
may be substituted for the corn in
each of the rations. The same rations
are also well suited for young pigs
from the time they are old enough to
eat until they are four or five months
old. when such foods as shorts and
tankage may be gradually reduced.
though they should not be cut out en-
tirely. unless some other feed relative
ly rich in protein is used to supple
ment the grain.
Three or four weeks after farrow.
| ing, green pasture should constitute a
portion of the ration for both SOW and
pigs if the best results are obtained.

FIRESIDE GARDENING

Each year should add something to
the wisdom of the gardener. To sue
coed, the planting must be the outcome
OF continued thought.
In the leisure of the winter days the
various bulletins and reports from the
many organizations should be as tools
to the ambitious gardener.
The mere facts they contain are not
so valuable as the suggestions and en-
thusiasms for which they are respon
sible, as no sensible person can read
these pamphlets by practical men
without wishing to emulate their sue
cesses or avoid their failures.
The years gardening should be
mapped out and planned by the winter
fireside Formulas for insecticides and
fungicides should be familiarized and
the material for their compromising
should be procured
Apparatus for applying them should
be studied made or purchased
Markets and marketing should be
carefully considered and the whole
business gone over from various points
OF view.

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM

No flower can boast OF more aristo
cratic ancestry than the chrysanthe-
mum. There is reason for its naughty
demeanor and often insOlcnt expires
sion. For the golden iiaring yello"
beauty is able to trace its lineage bacK
to the royal gardens of some forgotten
mikado, who admired its fOreiathers
many centuries ago.
The origin of the flower as the pet
OF royalty is lost in the cary twilight
of eastern history; it was probably
70 cultivated in the early days OF COnfu-
cius, and has certainly been treasured
in the Orient from time immemOriai.
The emblem and crest of the mikado
OF Japan are the leaf and flower oil the
chrysanthemum.
The first appearance of the Hover
in Europe was probably in 1854, when
specimens found their way to the bo-
tanical gardens in old Chelsea, Eng
land. These were only small yellow
things and did not arouse much en-
thusiasm. Not very much was done
with the chrysanthemum in England
until about 1885.
! Method of chrysanthemum culture
given by leading horticulturist is as
follows: To produce the best results,
the young shoots should be planted III
three-inch pots early in the spring. and
I'm six weeks transferred to five-inch
pots. AS soon as the plants have at
tanned height of nine or ten inches
they should be "pinched back" that is
an inch or so of the center of the plan,
should be pinched off. This causes
the plants to become "bushy," as il
checks the tendency of an upward
spindly growth. If fine plants are de
sired this pinching back process
should be repeated every two weeks
until August. The plants will by that
time have attained height of about
two feet BY October they will have
increased another foot in height and
each plant will have from fifteen to
thirty shoots.

BEST FERN FOR LIVING ROOM
BY J. T. GRANGER.

The best fern for the living room
depends on the temperature of yOur
living room. II your room is heated
with hot water you can grow ferns
in 1t that would soon die If kept in
room heated by steam, or hot air, or
a wood fire. For such room | would
advise Whitmans. one of the most
beautiful varieties of recent introduc-
ton.
II is a sprout from the old Boston
fern. II has shorter fronds than that
variety, but they are broader. and the
leaflets on them are developed into
miniature fronds, thus making it
most graceful plant, when well grown.
Its fronds have a plumelike effect that
make a fine specimen of one of the
most ornamental of decorative plants.
Give 1t a soil Of leaf-mold, or turfy

BEST KIND OF FARM TO BUY
Nav Be Mistake in Selecting Well
EARNED Land Rather Than Soil
That Has Been Neglected.

Most people in buying a farm would
select the land which has been well
farmed, rather than the neglected soil.
This might be a mistake.
Many a so-called rundown farm is
not in such a bad state after all. 1t
has not been farmed well enough to
run it down except in spots and on
the surface.
The real soil robber is the man
who plows deeply, tills well, and
makes the land give up everything
there is in it, and puts nothing back.
In ten years he will run down farm
more than a shiftless cut-and-coverer
will do in thirty.
Tillage stimulates every exhaustive
process in the soil. l. speeds up the
formation of nitrogen and the work
ing I'D of humus. Because of the
large crops which it forces from the
soil it takes off great amounts OF
lime. and tends to produce acidity. 1t
draws heavily on the nitrogen, potash
and phosphorus.
To be sure one doesn't often see
such farming, for the man who is
smart enough to give the ground the
best treatment in tillage usually is
intelligent enough to keep up the fer
tility. But the greatest soil stimu-
liant in the world is good tillage.
Is that an objection to it? Not at
all.
The object of all good farming is
to stimulate the processes OF produc-
ton. Those who speak of fertilizers
as soil stimrlants should remember
that they are no more such than barn
ward manure or the fifth time of plow-
ing the corn. Only now that we are
able by one method or another to
stimulate greater production we must
beware what we do with the power.
1t is a more effective tool for scoop
ing out the fertility in the soil.
Unless we keep up the balance by
manures or fertilizers, we shall make
the mistake of the man learning to
draw large checks without making
deposits.

RAISING CATTLE FOR MARKET
Half the Disease, Death and Misman-
agement Is Traceabe to lncompe-
tent Attendance.

CBy W. II. DALRYMPLE. Louisiana EN-
pertinent Station.)
From the day the calf is born until
the day the matured animal is con
signed to the butcher, the rule to be
observed should be: Continuous pro-
gression and no retrogression.
One authority has made the state
ment that half the disease, death and
mismanagement amongst animals. ami
especially cattle, is traceable to insult
ficient and incompetent attendance
And another. in describing the qualifi-
cations of a good cattleman, says: "A
good cattleman makes his business a
hobby. takes pleasure in his work.
studies the comfort, likes and dislikes
of each animal under his charge and
does for them, of his own accord, what
no amount of instruction or supervi-
sion could insure. He readily detects
when anything is amiss with an ami
NAL. and he knows when to give and
when to withhold. when the food
should he increased and when re-
duced. etc"
Men of this class are what are need
ed in the business of either raising
cattle or fattening them for the mar
ket with the greatest assurance of sue
cess. No doubt they are to be had; in
fact, l feel reasonably certain that
they can be secured, but not locally
They will have to come from other
sections of the country for the present.

practical experience in just this sort
