Nov that its turn has come to feel
the displeasure Of plutocracy, the Am
erican Federation Of Labor is greatly
upset BY the bad industrial conditions
Of to-day, for which it is as much to
blame as anyone else. Gompers and
his crew never took the trouble to get
down to bottom facts in the labor
problem, and have always supported
any measure to which capitalistic and
imperialistic greed prompted SO long
as he and his satraps got their rake
off. Their policy of higher wages,
shorter hours. and improved working
conditions for themselves did nothing
10 remove radical defects from the ma
tons financial and business institu-
tions, and now the ship of state is in
the breakers.
The jig is up, Comp" ;" brace up
and take your medicine. 1t is bitter,
we know; but it will reduce your
swelled head in jiffy, and give COM

load or SO to spare. This may not seem
great deal, but when it is remember
led that there is the organization work
and all of the odds and ends to do
that go with starting an enterprise and
getting adjusted. it will be found quite
good deal.
1893
IS kinds Of seeds for field and gar
den composed the order that required
three truck loads. For the farm there
are potatoes calculated to plant ten
acres. beans for ten acres. being the
red kidney beans and white navy
beans, 5 acres of rutabagas, Sudan
grass, Milo Maize, both the dwarf and
the high varieties, sunflower seed, field
corn. For the garden the order con-
sisted Of IS pounds Of stringless beans,
so pounds of bush lima beans, one
pound each of pole limas, Wentzen
and Kentucky Wonders, 5 pounds Of
sweet corn, one pound of carrot seed,
four varieties of cucumber seed. three
pounds of onion seed. being the Giant
Gibralter, Denia, and Riverside Sweet
Spanish, Dwarf Sugarpeas, packets Of
parsley. parsnips, peppers, spinach and
Virginia peanuts enough for one acre.
Besides this, we have on hand tomato.
watermelon, muskmelon. and squash
seeds, and sweet potatoes have some
time ago been put out in beds and are
now up. In purchasing seed, it was all
ways calculated that it would not
come amiss as hog feed, and the col
ony has already about $50 hogs which
will have to be fed for several months.
There will also be some experimental
work. One acre. or a fraction at
time will be planted to Jerusalem ar
tichokes. And there will be some broom
corn also.

The orchard is in bloom, or. at least,
the peach trees are. The almonds
have long since begun to put on leav-
es. The apricots are just putting out
few white blossoms, while the apples
have not made showing as yet. The
orchard has been plowed, the harrow
ing nearly finished. and the grass is
being hoed from the trees. This work
is virtually all finished, and the or
chard is in splendid condition.

People who are interested are now
invited to visit the Rancho Ramona.
1t makes very creditable showing,
and the most casual observer will be
impressed with the work accomplished.

livery measure, every means. every
policy, and every problem must be ex-
amined in the light Of past experience,
and in the terms Of its own relations
to the needs of the moment and the
resources at our disposal. Ascertain
when to make use of certain means
and when to discard them and to that
end reserve full freedom Of action.
Whatever can be engaged in and
accomplished by direct cooperative
effort should never be attempted to be
done through political agencies-nei-
ther the municipality. the county, nor
the state. Red tape is generally very
serious obstacle to many a necessary
measure or service that should imme-
diately be attended to; but politicians
always dawdle away time and obstruct
measures of relief.
The Jitneys would solve the trans
portation problems in American cities
speedily if the authorities would just
keep their hands off and give them an
open field.
In the New England States the I'm
tied Cooperative Society is handling
the milk supply at Worcester, Norwood.
Maynard, and Fitchburg, to the salts
faction of the people. In England CO.
operators are asking without success
that the towns and cities should han
die the milk supply.
Complete reciprocity will yield it.
Harmonious cooperation is only pos
sible when it is based on justice. 1t
must be just. locally, nationally. and
internationally.

) RANCHO RAMONA. EiEMET. CAL.
BY is. S. WOOSTER

Insurance Of good crops is what one
81 The neighbors said about the good
rain which came about the middle Of
March, just when it was needed. The
wheat. barley. and oats fields are be-
coming quite green, and with the plen-
tiful rainfall at the right tune. there is
almost certainty Of harvesting good
crops. The rains have been exceed
ingly light this season. but have come
at precisely the right time on every oc-
casion.
The Colony truck is kept busy max
ing trips to Hemet and to Los Angeles,
bringing out feed. seed, and groceries.
Much seed has been purchased this
year, but after this year it is likely that
most Of the seed will be grown here on
the ranch. The same is true Of hog
feed and Of hay, This being the first
year. there is very little feed. and it is
necessary to buy until our first crops
are harvested. The truck is giving
splendid service.
The bee ranch has required some
attention this spring. There was the
usual bee work to be done, and some
general cleaning up work. The bee
ranch is about half nine from the
main buildings. occupying small me-
sa. with the extractor house in little
hill. The extractor house has con-
crete cellar, and is quite a good build
ing for its purpose. There are 70
hives of bees, and they have been busy
for several weeks on cottonwoods, fill
ares, and wild flowers. Now the or
chard is in bloom, giving them plenty
to do for while.
Garden plans have been made on
quite an ambitious scale. 1t is planned
to produce all we can consume while
the season lasts, and to put up quite
large quantities Of tomatoes. corn,
beans, etc. Much garden work has all
ready been done. but the real garden
season is just starting.
5 y
Three truck loads Of seed have been
purchased for this season and are be-
ing brought out by the colony truck.
OF course seed potatoes are the bulky
portion that makes SO many trips nee
essary. Also, portion Of one Of the
loads consisted Of groceries. If Moth
ing mars the plans. the Rancho RAJ
mona win produce about all it can con-
sumo this season. and may have a car
