Retter OunIifv of Hay.

Dry weather during April and May
has lessened the amount of the hay crop,
but it does not follow that it will de-
crease its value in the same proportion.
Hay is not likely to be as cheap again as
it has been tie past two years. Its quail
ity also will be better. 1t was the poor
quality of last years hay crop as much
as the scarcity and high price of grain
that made cows unusually poor every
where last spring. We hope yet in most
places for a good crop Of coarse grains,
but stock will do as well next winter on
hay alone as they did the past two years
in most localities on flooded and water
soaked hay with grain added.

about eight inches below to catch the

with the corners shaved off, and arrange
them to drop into sockets at each end,
so they can easily be removed and ire

Plenty of water and plenty Of exercise
the best breeds of laying hens are most
active, and the only way to keep the
Asiatic breeds to laying in warm weather
is to reduce their rations and make the
hens scratch for their living. Even then
they will be apt to become too fat if
given much grain.

Killing Ticks on Lambs.

As soon as strengthening is done, the
ticks, which have found refuge in the
long wool OF older sheep, will desert
them and take to the unshorn lambs,
whose wool then affords a better hiding
place. These ticks are easily killed by
dipping lambs up to their ears in a strong
solution of tobacco. Refuse stems can
be used, and can usually be bad for a
little or nothing in tobacco growing To-
calities. The wash, after lambs have
been dipped in it, is excellent to apply
to melon or cucumber vines to repel the
bugs. 1t may not kill them, but it will
drive them away, which answers every
purpose. 1t has also excellent manurial
properties, but we prefer to use it in
small quantities merely TO repel insects.

The coal trade is in its usual condition
for this period of the year, midsum-
mer dullness prevailing. The advance
in the prices of l0@1l5 cents to the East
ern trade, which was ordered into effect
on the 1st instant, does not mean that the
producers will obtain the inc, ease imme-
diately, but it does indicate determine
tion on the part of the managers of the
anthracite corporations to secure more
money for their coal at the earliest op-
portunity, and, as soon as the trade
begins to show signs of activity, tardy
buyers will learn this to their disadvan-
tage. While the advance in prices has
not brought many new orders for coal
into the market, yet it has stiffened the
actual selling prices up to figures closely
approXimating the June circular quota
tions. 1t is the belief of well informed
operators that the trade will continue
dull until the middle of August, but after
that time an improvement is expected
and an excellent fall and winter business
is anticipated.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
June 27, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was SS9,4S5 tons,
compared with S44 ,062 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
1923 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was 1853, 207 tons, compared with 15,-
22l, $40 tons for the same period last year,
an increase of 1887 ,S97 tons.-Ledger.

White Haven has a new industry,
which may be of interest to the CON
tractors and builders Of this section, and
will be an aid to people who intend to
build in securing substantial material.
The journal states that some months ago
several parties began explorations to
discover clay with which to make bricks,
and among the fortunate ones was
George w. Koons. He has since deve-
loped large bed of the finest clay, and
has just begun the manufacture of bricks.
The first kiln of 10000 was burned last
week, and the product surpasses all ex-
pectations. The bricks are firm, hard
and strictly first-class in every respect.
Another kiln of 100, 900 is being prepar-
ed. The establishment of this business
will enable builders to use bricks for
building purposes instead of lumber.
They are fire-proof, and make more sub
stantial and durable buildings than lum-
ber, and considering the reduced insur-
ance rates, the cost is much less.

DUPED AGAIN.

One month ago to-day Governor Patti
son signed bill passed by the Legisla-
ture on May 27. That bill was intended
lperhaps) to abolish company stores.
But 1t won't. The penalty attached for
dlsobeying the requirements of this law
is severe one when looked at hastily.
ltrevokes the State charter rights of any
corporation that maintains a company
store after the passage of the act. When
the bill passed the TRIBUNE intimated
that it was too sweet to be wholesome.
The corporations did not try very hard
to defeat it and their nonchalence eX-
cited suspicion that they had a big loop
hole to crawl out. And SO they have.
With one exception there is not min
ing corporation in the Lehigh Region
doing business under a State charter.
That's what Secretary of State VIM. f.
Harrity tells the TRIBUNE. The Stout
Coal Company (Milnesville) is the only
one that can be prohibited from runninga
company store All the others can suit
themselves about obeying the mandates
of this great commonwealth. Just watch
and see how much respect the Markles,
Pardees, Coxes and other coal kings
have for the law. 1t will affect them
no more than if the bill was passed in
Patagonia. They are above the State
and can trample with impunity upon its
orders. Their spread-eage speeches
about this glorious government and the
happiness enjoy ed by the citizens there
of is heard once year, then they return
to filch the earnings of their slaves
through the truck system.
And it will always be thus until men
are so free that it will be immaterial to
them whether company stores exist or
not. This can be done just as easily as
trying to enact laws which are not worth
the paper upon which they are written.
When men cease their everlasting growl
about operators" and "monied men,"
and turn their attention to discover how
their oppressors maintain this power
then there will be some hope of enjoy
ing freedom in reality. The coal kings
are no worse than the average run of
humanity. If ninety-nine per cent of
the people under them had the same
opportunity to rob their fellow-creatures
they would do it. Against operators or
such, as general rule, there should be
no personal feeling. They merely repre-
sent the cursed system which is dividing
America into two distinct classes, as it
has already divided the countries on the
other side. These few are merely taking
advantage of the workers apathy, and
unless the latter soon arouse themselves
and enforce the true spirit of the De-
claration of Independence they will
reach the level of European laborers.
When men set about to discover the
cause of existing conditions and how to
remedy them then they will be engaged
in work worthy Of their energy. With
out striking at the root of the power their
laws will all fall as harmless as the com
pany store bill. Miners are crushed no
worse than the millions employed in
other industries, all of whom are held
down by the same monopoly.

Sometime ago the attention of the
public was called to an old man going
about soliciting aims ''to enable young
man to 90 to Ireland for the good of his
health" The person collecting the
money is a fraud, and as soon as any
contribution is received it is spent for
drink. While a representative of the

yesterday the old man was seen coming
out of house with a book in his hand

the reporter asked to see the book and
found in it petition purporting to bear
the endorsement of Thomas A. Buckley,

was forgery and the friends of this old
