BELLAIRE, o., May 7.-There is every
reason to believe that repetition of the
big strike of 1894 will be the result of
the present strike among the coal min
ers in this country, and the Fifth sub
district of Ohio. All the coal miners
working on the cooperative plan and
those working on the 60-cent basis of
last year have been all ordered out. and
they quit in short order They have
been mining coal since May for the
above price. There are over 1000 men
idle. There will be some suffering
among the miners If the mines are
closed very long, and it will necessitate
the closing down Of manufacturers. No
trouble has occurred as yet. Some Of
the small operators will probably pay
the price asked by the miners.

Why Is IL, with our improved sanitary
appliances, our care to obtain fresh air,
pure food, and plenty of exercise, the OBJ
servance, in fact, of every hygienic law,
that In spite of every care each succeed
Ing generation seems to become weaker
and shorter lived? Is IL that we are now
suffering for indiscretions of our ances-
tors, or is that terrible, unknown end Of
man at hand?
Whatever the cause, the existing con-
dition of things is too apparent. Especi-
ally is this noticeable with the babies.
Instead Of the mothers life-giving milk,
they are compelled to begin struggle for
existence with the bottle. The result In
many cases is disastrous. The little one,
falling to obtain necessary nourishment,
grows weaker daily, until death ends the
struggle. The end in these cases is
Simply Starvation.
With this termination so often the case,
the best physicians of the day have re-
sorted to the use of Bovinine, that great
and original raw food product, as means
10 save the babies.
In this connection DR.. A. B. Robinson,
81 Dudley St., Boston, after commencing
Bovinine most highly for various compli-
cations where the waste of disease must
be checked, and new blood, flesh, and
strength created to effect cure, says
concerning this life-creatlng preparation,
"With feeble, bottle-fed babies, a small
amount added to the milk has in my
practice saved many children"
Bovinine is not q medicine, but
hfe-maintaining, flesh, bone, and blood
making preparation that contains the
greatest amount Of nourishment in the
least possible bulk.
Give 1t to the little ones while there Is
still hope. Your physician, If you ask
him, will recommend 1t, and you will
bless the results obtained forever.

When the ground has become settled,
stone or tile drains should be substituted
for the brush. If stone is used, it should
be remembered that the bitches must be
deeper than if tiled, since in filling the
drain the top of it will come nearly a
foot nearer the surface than the tile

drain and allowing the earth and silt to

as shown, and put not less than 3 = or
4 feet deep, will stand perfectly, and to
all intents and purposes are as good as
tile. When the only expense Of the
brush drain is in labor, it all depends
upon the financial side of the labor ques-
tion. BY all means, beginning at the
lower end Of the marsh, try some of
these drains, placing them at the most
not less than 30 to 40 feet apart, if the
land is to be thoroughly and effeotually

get their full development and be taken
directly to open ground without another
transplanting. For earliest crop, how
ever, we want very large, very stocky
and well advanced plants, and we pre-.
fer to set them first three inches apart,
and then, when they have reached the
size as shown in accompanying illus
tration, to a larger distance, say, not
less than five inches, if we can possibly
spare the room. Thus they are left to
grow, and by the time that they can go
into the open ground, some time in May,
earlier or later according to season and
locality, they will be in bloom, and per-
haps with fruit already set.
In the final transfer to open ground
large chunks Of soil are removed with
the plant and great care is taken to dis
turb the roots as little as possible.

that he was public-spirited citizen,
that all the money taken by him has
been recovered and that he has been
sufficiently punished for his offense.

One Cause For Potato scab.

Experiments with air slaked lime COW
ering period of two years show con-
clusively that it tends to increase the
scab of potatoes. Since wood ashes con-
tain about one-half as much lime in
practically the same form, there remains
almost no question that they will also
increase the scab. One ton of air slaked
lime contains in general a little less
lime than two tons of wood ashes. -

the rush. The knowing ones therefore
lose no time in starting plants and take
such early varieties as the Ruby, Ford
hook, New Imperial or the older King
of the Earlies, Earliest Advance and
others of that class to give ripe speci-
mems in 1870 or 125 days from sowing
the seed.
The seed is sown early in good seed
bed in sunny window, greenhouse or
hotbed.
For the first transplanting of these
seedlings the soil need not be Of more
than medium richness. AS L. Greiner
says in American Gardening: We don't
want forced, sappy growth. Seedlings
that are short and stocky and stiff can
go through the transplanting process
without receiving much Of o check,
even without whiting. The tomato
plants, about three or four weeks after
sowing seed, are pulled up from the
seed bed, having then the general ap-
pearance represented in the first illus
tration. This shows a plant of the po-
tato leaf type in natural size. The soil is
well moistened, and the plants are then
carefully lifted out by prying under
them with small trowel or other tool
Thus, with all the fine roots intact and
perhaps a little soil still adhering to
them, they are set firmly in other flats,
or directly on the benches or in hotbeds,
about three inches apart each way.
Moist soil should always be firmly
pressed against the roots Of the little
plant, and if this is done the latter will
hardly feel the transfer.
Concerning the second transplanting
