THE BROOKLYN CAR STRIKE
The United States Mail Cars Only in
Operation.

Brooklyn, N. Y, Jan. 15.-Both sides
in the electric street railway strike
show determined front today. On the
Court street line twenty cars are being
run at irregular intervals, each guarded
by from two to eight policemen. Strik-
ers or their friends obstructed the track
by upsetting barrels of ashes. The rub
bish was cleared away by laborers, and
the mail car was sent out at 742 o'clock
preceded by six mounted pollcement,
while eight unmounted policemen rode
In the car. 1t passed through the dis
trist where the strikers are reported to
be more reckless than elsewhere, but
the manner in which it was guarded
overawed any who might have been in
olined to recklessness. The United
States mail car on the Flat Buch ave-
nue. line was started out at 1923 O'Clock,
and the company announced that it
was determined 10 run the mail car
all day. The strikers contemplate pre-
senting a petition to Mayor Shieren
today, asking him to end the tie-up by
virtue of his official power, and will
cite the action taken by Mayor Pingree,
of Detroit, in 1891, when he said the
railroad companies had violated the ten
hour law, and warned them if the strike
then in progress was not over in "a
hours, he would declare their charters
forfeited.
The mail car on the Fifth avenue
line was captured by the strikers. 1t
was released by mounted police. The
steamboat squad has been ordered for
strike duty.

manning several others. The firemen

were beginning another attack, when a
second explosion occurred more violent
than the first. People in the vicinity

like a great battle field. Debris was
thrown high in the air, coming down
half mile away. Many people on the

cape to a place of safety when the

ADVICE FOR LAWMAKERS.

THE hay loader is great saver of
labor, yet on many of the smaller
farms it may not be good policy to pur-
chase one.
WHEN timothy is wanted for Il e
seed allow it to get well ripened; then
cut with self-binder and treat much a
you would wheat.
IT is best to start the mower in the
morning after the dew is gone If
the hay is cut while still wet, especial
Iy if dew is very heavy. the effect
viii be somewhat like that of a light
shower.
WHERE there is considerable clover
mixed with hay it will pay to use a
tedder, especially during rainy weather
where it is desirable to get it into
the barn or stack as quickly as pos
sible after cutting.
As A general rule timothy hay cut
when about half through blooming is
most desirable for all purposes. The
leaves and stalks then contain the
most digestible matter, seed does not
shatter. and there is little waste in
feeding.
AFTER the hay is partially dried. put
it into small shocks and let it there
dry out completely. Cured in this wav
it retains a green color and is much
more readily eaten. The object is to
cure with the least possible exposure
to the sun. Orange Judd Farmer.
