MEDDLESOME MINERS.

They Muster 5000 Men to Keep Those who
Want to Work From Doing SO.

WHEELING, W. Va, Jan. For some time
past there have been indications OF trouble
brewing among the miners of the Kanawhs
valley, OF this State, over the questions of
wages and employment, and some six weeks
since these troubles eliminated in strikes
among the coal miners of Faulkner, Johnson.
Strang hm, Coal Valley ana other coal mines
ia the kanawha valley. as well aS in the Fire
CreeE mines and the new uver section. The
en- mployeS OF the Anstedt mines, near Hawks
Nest. Favette county. however, went TO
work. Most of The coal miners
OF The Kanawha valley and New
river sections are banded together
IN q secret lodge called the Knights OF Labor,
and day before yesterday they sent word out
that work at the Anstedt mines must be
stopped, peaceably II possible, but forclbly ii
necessary. Last evening about 100 miners
seized the east bound train on the Chesapeake
railroad and forced the conductor To
and this morning about $50 minefs repeated
this action with tne down train from Rich
mODd. Thus the striking miners were able 10
muster a force of 500 men 10 intlmidate the
employees and owners of the AnStedt mines.
Colonel w. III. HOgeman, counsel for the Cnesa-
peake and ohio railroad, who is in this city,
received dispatches to-day from Pre!ldenJ
Huntington on the &. ana %. railroad, appriS-
ing him of the situation, and requesting him
10 call on the governor for military ad TO
suppress the disorder. Governor Mathews,
who is i'm New York City, was
telegraphed, and has ordered the Lewis burg
and Charleston companies 10 hold themselves
in readiness. The military viii not be called
upon unless there is danger OF riot, or tn

WHAT VIZ KNOW or CLOVER As 4 rERrIL-
IZER-
Discussing the mysteries Of fertilization.
the American Cuifirdtor thus alludes to ex-
periments with clover:
For the last forty years there has been
no article known to agriculturists which has
so largely claimed the attention Of the man
of science, or indirectly tina, Of the farmer,
as has nitrogen. Theory and practice alike
have confirmed the opinion tina; there is no
more important element either in the veg
etable or animal Kingdom, than this and yet
how. or in what manner, or in what Kind Of
combinations, il enters into the vegetable
Kingdom. we know no more than we did
when the inquiry first began. We can dis
course eloquent!y abou, the fer,ilizing quail
tiles of Peruvian guano, but TO tell how its
fertilizing qualities depend upon the amount
Of nitrogen that enters into the plants we
are vet in the dark. We know that clover
is a wonderful fertilizer, that it leaves large
amount Of nitrogen in the soil. in its roots
and scattered leaves but whether ii did
not accumulate the whole from the soil. and
present il 10 Us in new compounds or,
through its leaves, presenting substances to
the nitrogen in the atmosphere which would
combine with il so that IT could be carried 10
the soil, and be made Of advantage TO other
vegetation, we are to-day a. ignorant a. We
were hundred years ago. But this ~e
know, that one kind of vegetation does fur
nish and prepare food for another kind, and
in this way we find the practical value Of
alternating crops.
Mr.. Lawes. in 1873, experimental with
barley and clover lie sowed half field
with barley without manure. which had
been kept in tina, crop the three previous
years, and fertIlized with artificial manures;
the other half had been sown to clover the
year previous. The'yield of barley was 81
bushels to the acre, land clover three tons
4s pound, per acre. The mex, wear the
whole field was Town 10 barley without,
manure. The half previously in barley
gave 80 81 bushels; the other half after
clover gave Is bus .el. per acre. Thu. We
see that after taking of very valuable
crop Of clover he had increased the fertility
Of the soil to almost double that of the half
which had been in barley. Now. ..wiihou,
entering into any speculative theories Of
where this amount Of fertllizing material
came from, we have ,he facts which We can
not ignore that BY the aid of clover the crop
Of barley was vastly increased Nor can
W. without presumption say that this fertil-
ity was the result Of nitrogen which the
clover collected any more than il was the
result Of phosphoric acid and potash, which
it had also collected.-for unless there were
already accumulated in the soil these two
principles equisalen, TO the acquisitions of
that amount Of barley. il would have been
in vain that the soil obtained through the
clover the necessary amount Of nitrogen.

Most of the fires that occur might be
avoided by proper care, and the following
hints, if carefully observed. will aid materi-
ally in avoiding such accidents:
/. Never leave matches where they can
be reached by children, and If one should
fall on the floor, be sure and search for it
until YOU find it. A match, when trodden
on. readily ignites. and if unobser,ed, may
cause a serious FIRE, or what is more likely,
set a lady's dress in flames. Rats and
mice have great fondness for matches,
and often carry them of to their holes,
where BY nibbling, they set them on fire.
Always keep matches in tin boxes, and new
er in paper. packages.
,. Children should be strictly prevented
from PLAYING with hre, and severely punish
ed, If caught so offending 1t is far better
that they should undergo the inconvenience
OF little wholesome chastisement than
either sc, the house on fire. dishgure them
selves for life, or be burnt to death from the
want of being severely punished for DISC
bedience.
3. Never leave a lamp or candle burning
at your bedside on table when YOU go TO
bed. and avoid reading in bed; this is a
mos, fruitful cause Of loss of life and prop
erty.
4. Ifa piece of paper is used TO light a
lamp. see tina, it is properly eK,inguished
before leaving il, as it will sometimes
burst gu, on fire after j, is supposed to have
been completely ex,ingui.hed-
s. If there is an escape Of gas, so tina,
the smell of it is very apparent open the
doors and windows Immediately to allow its
escape, and facilitate the entrance Of fresh
air and above all things avoid coming any
way near with light Of any description.
As soon a. YOU can, shut of the gas at the
meter.

TIKI. VALUE OF LEAvEs-The forests,
orchards and shade-trees will soon be strip
ed Of the foliage which has lent them their
yerdure during the long, bright summer
and early autumn. After few days Of dy-
ing splendor the leaves will be numbering
pathways or whirled into windrows; but if
properly employed they can be rendered ex-
tremely valuable to the farm and garden.
Dead leaves are rich in mineral constituents
Of plan, growth. If they are gathered and
securely housed they may supply bedding
in the stables and pig pens, and then, when
thrown out, will add valuable elements to
the compost heap. They may also be scat
tered freely under the roosts Of the poultry
houses where they will mingle thoroughly
with the droppings. There is no better
bedding for horses and cattle Straw is too
valuable for the purpose; and, besides, dry
leaves are more comfortable and are less liza
bic to BE- pushed to one side of the stall
They are great absorbents of liquid manure.
and are thus doubly useful as bedding and
fertilizer.

Own A HoME.-Every man who has or
expects to have family should strive to be-
come the owner of home, for without one
he can never feel or be independent. With
q home of his own, he becomes better con-

fairs, and is better member of society.
No man should rest satisfied until he poss-
esses at least q small portion of the grandest
of all the possessions-land-the fruitful
mother of all the productions which sustain
existence, secure comfort and give stability
and independence to life. Every man makes
his life what it is out of the material circum-
stances which surround him. How differ
