GERMAN PRINTERS.
A General Strike to be Ordered Through
out the Empire.


BERLIN, Oct. %. Meetings of printers
employed in Breslau and in Leipsig were
held today in those cities, and prepara-
tions made for general strike of Ger
man printers, which seems to be de-
termined upon for tomorrow. At the
Breslau and Leipsig meetings the print
ers resolved to give their support to the
resolution arrived at by the printers of
this city yesterday; this resolution is
voiced by 1000 Berlin printers, who de-
cided to ask their union to order
general strike in case of the refusal of
employers to grant them working day
of nine hours and an advance of 33 per
cent. in wages. 1t is generally admitted
that wholesale strike of printers will
be Immediately ordered. The printers
of Frankfort, Hamburg, Koenigsberg,
Mayence and Nuremberg have decided

SAN Francisco, Oct. 23.-A decision
was rendered by Judge Hebbard today
in the case of George Henzel vs. David
Scannell, chief of the fire department,
to enjoin the chief from removing a num-
Der of wires erected by plaintiff. The
court denied the injunction and dissolved
the restraining order. In the course of
his opinion, Judge Hebbard says: 1T
appears that the present system of sus-
pending electric wires over and upon
the roofs of buildings in the city, is
standing menace to life and property,
the direct and indirect cause of fires,

PROTECTING STOCK.

In most pastures there are more or less
trees that afford shade sufficient to pro-
tect the animals feeding in them during
the warmest portions of the day. Where
this is not the case, think there should
be some temporary provision made for
atfording it, suggests an Ohio farmer,
for it seems but little short of downright
cruelty that there should be no place in
pasture where cattle can lie down out
of the hot sunshine. This is more likely
to occur when cattle are turned into the
harvested grain field than anywhere else,
and this is easily provided for by putting
up one or more open sheds which will
furnish the required shade and which can
be quickly moved to another field if
necessary. The material can be of the
toughest and cheapest description, and
can be taken down and stored away I'M
til the next season. When there is not
enough natural shade this is not only
dictate of humanity, but il is profitable
in pecuniary way to provide comfort
able retreats for domestic animals,
whether it be from the heat of the sun
or from storms. A simple shed without
any boarding-up of sides or ends is all
that is necessary, and under this the
weaker cattle are less liable to be injured
by others than IN one inclosed on three
sides.-Neeo York World.

FOWLS AS CLEANERS.

It matters not how much care be exer-
cised in gathering the grain crop, more
or less of it is certain to be left on the
field in the shape of loose kernels, single
heads and litterings. Sheep and hogs,
if turned in promptly, will eat portion
of this ungathered crop, but they are not
often wanted thus early in stubble
ground, especially if it is newly seeded.
Hence farmer having field near the
barn can utilize this scattered grain by
letting the fowls all out at once in the
morning, inducing them to follow him
to the field by scattering grain before
them, remaining in the field with them
half an hour, or until they scatter about
in search of food. Practise this for two
or three mornings, and they will visit
the field often during the day.
By this plan the fowls not only fatten
rapidly, but they are away from the
house and barn buildings, look better
and are healthier than when depending
upon food fed to them. I have known
instances where fowls have been induced
to forage nearly half mile from the
buildings. Not only is loose grain read
lily utilized by them, but insects of all
kinds, and in their season grasshoppers
are their favorite food.-The Examiner.

TOO MUCH FERTILIZER.

II is quite possible to overdue in the
matter of fertilizers, and this fact has
been brought out fully at a number Of
experiment stations. Fertilizers are a
good thing when they are needed in the
soil for the crop, but they are not always
needed. 1t is always we'll to have q
small surplus of plant food in the soil,
but beyond that it is not profitable. It
is true that additional fertilizer may
bring an increase of crop, but too
frequently, upon a rich soil, that in.
crease is at loss. 1t is not the largest
crop that is always the most profitable,
for an increase of yield may cost too

PROBLEMS IN AGRICULTURE.

There are problems in agriculture as
important as those in science, and often
as difficult to be determined with exact
ness. Large crops can only be produced
upon lands that are naturally fertile or
on such as have been made so artifcially
by the use of manures or commercial
fertilizers. To keep a fertile soil from
degenerating under continued cultiva-
ton and to restore fertility to an impov-
erished one are agricultural problems
that demand high degree of intelligent
and careful farming for their solution.
A previous good preparation of the soil
is necessary before land is seeded to
grass, and different degrees of deep or
shallow blowing are advocated as a prep
aration, or as after cultivation for vari-
Gus other crops. Along with the use of
concentrated fertilizers 1t is always i'm
portant that there should be decayed
vegetable matter; otherwise the plant
TODD will not be in we'll balanced proper
tons. This includes all crops, and sug-
gests the reason why the results from
manufactured fertilizers are often disap-
pointing.
The manure of animals furnishes in a
concentrated form the fertilizing prop
critics of the vegetation they have con-
sumed. of which part is taken up and
assimilated in their growth, and a part,
in the condition of excrement, is re-
turned to the soil. Thus, BARNARD
manure and commercial fertilizers go
well together, and the amount that may
be protitably applied to land depends
largely on the increased production from
their use. The value of the increased
production, however, is not to be meas
ured by its quantity alone without taking

SMALL CHEESE

4 subscriber wishes directions for
making small cheese that take but forty
or fifty pounds of milk. The fresh
sweet milk is curdled by the use of rem
net tablets. But too much should not
be used as it makes harl cheese. About
four quarts of cheese will make pound
of cheese. The curd should be used
fresh and before it has cooled. If it is
cooled it should be warmed up to ninety
degrees. A large dish pan or a tub
will do for a vat where but q small
amount of milk is used.
After the rennet Is stirred in leave the
milk In warm place for about an hour
wien the curd is set.
A convenient way O. setting the curd
is to lay square of muslin in the pan,
securing the ends and pouring the milk
into the muslin.~ When the curd is set
the corners and edges of the muslin are
drawn together and tied, and the whole
lifted out and hung up to drain. As
soon as the whey is drained off the curd
is put into a mold of any shape or size
desired. Have them made of maple,
beach or of tin. They must be without
top or bottom.
Mats OF rushes, or clean rye or wheat
straw may be used to rest the molds upon
while the cheese is making. The mats
are placed upon a cloth which absorbs
the moisture. The molds and their con.
tents are turned daily for three days and
if desired are sprinkled with salt at each
turning. If to be eaten fresh they will
be ready in three days. If intended for
future use they must be removed to a
dairy house or cellar and kept curing
for six weeks or two months, being
turned every day and laid upon lattice
shelf. The flavor of the cheese is i'm
parted during the curing process, and
may be varied to suit the taste of the
maker by wrapping them in powdered
sweet herbs, cloths dipped in vinegar,
etc., etc.-Farm, Field ana zet0ckmGa.
