gion is unchanged. Very few mines are
working. This morning 500 striking
miners from Donaconing swooped down
on the village OF Eckhart and attempted
to prevent the men at the mine of the
Consolidated coal company going to
work. The men could not be persuaded
nor forced to abandon the intention of
working. The wives Of the miners willing
to work assembled in a body at the
mouth of the Eckhart mine and declared
to the strikers that if they did not allow
their husbands to 90 to work, they
would go in the mines themselves, take
up the picks and shovcls and work for
them.

FAIRLY CLOSING.
A Movement That Will Give
Clerks a breathing spell.

A movements is on foot to have an early
closing rule observed during the summer
months by all of the business houses in
Ashcvillc with the exception of grocery
stores, The plan is to close at p. M,
and the idea has many arguments to
commend it. Ordinarily there is little
business done in the stores after 7
O'Clock, and the closing at that hour
would give the overworked clerks an op-
dortunity to leave the daily grind and
get recreation, which would be benefit
in every way.
How many of Asheville's busino SIS
houses viii! join the carly closing move.

Buttermilk when Fed to Poultry

Skim-mik, buttermilk or curds given to
poultry will prove as profitable as when
these substances are fed to pigs. When
milk is skinned only the cream is re-
moved. Cream is the carbonaceous por-
ton of milk, and is of little value so far as
being an assistant TO egg production is
concerned, because the elements remain
ing in the buttermilk consist of very near
ly the same as those existing in the egg
The milk is as valuable as it was before it
was skinned because cream does not car
ry off any of the nitrogen or phosphates
in the milk. The mode Of placing skim
milk or buttermilk in pans for the chick
ems to drink is not recommended. 1t
answers well in that manner yet the bet
ter plan is to mix it with ground grain and
occasionally, if skim milk is used, it
should be heated to the boiling point and
thickened with ground oats and corn
meal, for change. Give the milk TO the
chickens when it may be put in clean yes

The American Cultivator says of curing
pork. The best recipe we know is that
given by farmer of the olden time and
Still used BY his descendants. For every
100 pounds Of pork take eight pounds OF
pure salt, two pounds of brown sugar,
two ounces saltpetre and one and one
half ounces Of potash, all dissolved in four
gallons of perfectly pure water, The
brine will be better if boiled and cooled
before the meat is put into it, This is
done to make sure there are no impurities
in the water and to clean out the impuri-
ties that would be put into it with the
brown sugar. Each piece OF meat is
thoroughly rubbed with good salt and al
lowed to lie one or two days if the wealth
err is cool, but not allowed to be frozen
The whole is then packed in cask as
closely as it can be, and the brine is pour
ed in till it covers the top, After leav-
ing in the brine six weeks the meat is
taken out and hung in the smoke house
in which two fires are made each day"

A Sermon Spoiled.

I'm afraid said Mr.. MuggIes to his
nephew, that you are giving altogether
too much attention to the doings OF prize
fighters"
WELL" admitted the young man, II do
enjoy reading about them"
am sorry to see 1t. Prize fighting Is
british and degrading. In an age like this,
when there are SO many enormous problems
OF science and civilization to solve It is
wrong for any man to give his mental en-
ergies to the consideration of things like
this. which are not only low in themselves,
but demoralizing in their Influences
The old gentleman took a long breath, and
glared.
Still. one can't help being Interested"
You ought to help it It's your business
to help It,
But I've had 1t forced on my attention"
was the apologize reply. 1.-The bookkeeper
at our store wants to bet that Mitchell will
whip Corbett"
Wants to bet that Mitchell will-Great
Scott! you took him up. didn't you? Why,
look at Corbetts reach. He can pull the
hairs out OF Mitchelrs eyebrows without
getting touched. And II Mitchell tries to
turn the fight into sprinting match, Cor
bett II be right with him. and chase him
lap for lap till he runs him down same as a
dog would rabbit. And that man wants
to bet on Mitchell! How much did you take
of it,
why. 1 haven't bet anything as yet"
Haven't bet! Here. get your hat and
coat and hunt him up. Bet him all you've
got, and then II he's still game, take fifty
dollars worth for me. Don't lose a minute
because he might change his mind"
