COLUMBUS, Nov. 23.-M d. Ratch.
ford, state president of the United

more and Ohio, from Bellaire as far
west as Glencoe, opened today.
About 500 miners are affected. They
have stood out against the decent rate
urged as result of the recent Joint
conference, on the ground that the
mines in that section did not compete
with Pittsburg.
II is expected that the action of the
Eastern Ohio operators will have its in.
fuence on the Jackson field. though the
Southern Ohio miners are opposed to
any action which will place them on a
different footing from that which eI-
lists in the Hooking Valley. The state
officials believe that tho 6l.cent rate
will soon | q extended to the Hooking
valley as the operators in that district
will hardly care to hold out much long
er when all the other fields have started
at 81 cents,
Practically the only differences which
exist at this time are those between

A TYPICAL COUNTRY ROAD.

side will result. If possible place small
culverts below the surface, and cover
with earth, as they will be the less sub
ject to wear and will not interfere with
the smooth surface of the road. Make
culverts permanent. Avoid the use of
perishable material. See that proper
outlets are made for them and keep free.
Water which is allowed to stand in
them in frosty weather will destroy the
best material.
The. surface of the road should be
kept smooth and free from ruts Where
gravel or other metal is to be applied it
Is best to dig trench for its reception,
otherwise the crown will be too high.
Gravel is intended to perform the
double service of a roof to shed the
water and floor to resist the wear of
traffic and to lessen the amount of trac-
ton required. A 40 per cent. greater
load can be drawn by a team over a
smooth gravel road in an equally good
state of repair. All the work should be
done on uniform plan in a systematic
and permanent manner, with view to
its extension on the same plan in sub
sequent years; this in short time will
secure a perfect system of finished
roads.
Modern road machinery, properly
operated, is economical. The grader
and roller are Indispensable. The
grader performs the work quicker,
easier, cheaper and more perfectly
than can be expected from hand labor.
The roller compacts the loose material,
unites the different particles SD as to
better resist the load, prevents displace-
ment which forms ruts, and reduces to
q minimum resistance to traffic.

The Ftarrring OF Flonr.

1t is exceedingly important that the
family flour barrel be kept in a cool,
dry closet on a rack, so that no damp
ness can collect under it. An arrange
ment is now on sale for lifting the bar
rel above the floor and moving il out
when necessary, which is an improve
ment on a rack on casters. This is q
barrel swing, by means of which the
barrel is held suspended in the air from
beam or heavy joist of the house.
The barrel may be thus suspended in a
pantry, and when needed may be swung
out by a slight movement. The great
est advantage of either rack or swing
is that the floor beneath the barrel may
he kept scrupulously clean. Family
-four absorbs odors Of other food and
any foul germs that may be present
in the atmosphere, therefore it should
be closely covered, whether in a closet
or kept outside in a larger room and
the room where it is kept should be free
from all debris Of food and other arti-
Giles too often found in kitchen pantry.

Into It the Sunshine Should Always
Have Free Access.
1t is a matter of satisfaction that the
oId-fashioned parlor-shut up the great
erportion of the year and protected from
the sunshine and fresh air and every
cheerful element that makes life worth
living--is fast disappearing. There is
not one family, where once there were
ten, who maintains this gloomy state
apartment. The cheerful living room,
where the sunshine is allowed to come
in at the window, and where a low fire
usually burns on the hearth to ventilate
as well as heat the room, has taken it's
place. There is no fear of the sunshine
fading the carpet, for the stiff, gaudy-
patterned Brussels, where impossible
cupids were represented as strewing
the ground with roses of every shade
of the rainbow, is not used, but n sensi-
BILE hardwood floor, finished in wax or
shellac, takes its place, and the pretty
rug on the floor and the hangings at the
windows are dyed in indigo or with
madden red dyes, which are sunproof.
The old7time brass firedogsare polished
so bright that they reflect the glow of
the open fire, and the blooming plants
in the sunny southern window fill the
room with fragrance and cheerfulness.
There is an ample center table, covered
with books and newspapers, to hold the
evening lamp, and around this table the
family gathers in the evening for read
ing or other recreation The family
piano stands in a convenient corner,
instead of being shut up in q cold, for
NAL parlor, and is ready to discourse
excellent music under the skilled hand.
The books are in low cases around the
room, where ore can reach them. There
are plenty of cushioned chairs and an
ample lounge, with many pillows, for
weary people.
The room is kept in perfect order by
hcing busted and put to rights the first
thing every morning, and it is always
ready during the day for the reception
of callers. The papers and magazines
are regularly looked over every day
and the new ones are put in place of the
old, to be convenient to the fathers
hand in the evening.-N. Y. Tribune.

Fertilizer for the Orchard.

All orchards in full bearing should
have an annual top-dressing of mineral
fertilizers. But the trees that have
blossomed heavily should also he
dressed with stable manure used as a
mulch and spread under them little
further than their roots extend, which
in bearing trees will cover the entire
ground between them and their neigh
bors on either side. If hogs are turned
in to root under the trees they will
nix the earth and the top dressed ma
nure, so that the soil will be in the
best possible condition to hold the rain
fail and keep it in position for use by
the tree roots. Managed in this way
the apple crop will not be injured by
dry weather late in the seasonS--Amerk

Dressy Accessories to the Toilets OF Fash
ionable Ladies.
A woman should always be well
gloved and well shod. She cannot DO
too careful in her selection of either
gloves or shoes. Ea- walking, travel
ing and general outing wear, four hook
or button gloves are correct in glace or
pique kid, the latter being heavier than
the usual dressed kid. These are in tan,
brown and gray shades. Chamois
gloves in white are very stylish for
wear with cotton or pique costumes,
and as they wash and clean easily and
are not expensive. These chamois gloves
come in four hook or button length and
in the longer mousquetaire style with
three hooks. Such is the popularity Of
these gloves that several retail mer-
chants displayed them as early as
March for the summer season. The
bicycle gloves are legion; some have
extra heavy palms, others large but
tons that are closed by pressing over
knob. but the most practical are OF
chevrette, heavy skin, stitched with
saddlers' silk &nd having four large
hooks. These are preferred in tan,
brown and the reddish or English tan.
Black gloves are well favored in Paris
with light toilettes trimmed in black,
but here they are chiefly noticed with
mourning gowns, or with evening
gowns of black and some brilliant con-
trast. White and ficelle, very pale
straw and suede are the fashionable
evening colors for full dress, with pearl
gray, lavender and pale tan following.
White glace and suede gloves in four
hooks or buttons; plain or stitched on
the bach with black, are worn for visit
ing, concerts, driving, etc. There 10
much favor shown to such gloves in
white glace or dressed kid with hook
fastenings. A buttoned glove should
always be fastened with glove-but-
toner Dressed kid is more worn than
suede, though the latter is never out of
style. After white the tan and brown
shades are favored. Cheap gloves will
not wear, fit nor look as well as the bet
ter grades, though purchasers often eX-
pect wonders from glove costing but
dollar. Put gloves on carefully, to
keep them in shape, and remove by
turning the wrist over the fingers. AL
ways air them before putting away,

TRUCK FARMING PAYS.
Faets and Figures Ascertsiied by an In

Facts and Figures AscertRined by an In
Yestigating Comsaittee.
To giwesome idea Of the profitableness
of raising vegetables and fruit, we will
mention that only recently the large
truck-farms in the vicinity of one of our
large cities were inspected by com,
mittee to examine into this industry
and they reported that one farm Of 40
acres yielded annually $4,000 worth Of
fruits and vegetables; another of six
acres yielded $4,000: another of 90 acres
returned $4,000, and another of 81
acres returned $4,000. These figures
represent gross receipts, but even after
making reductions for fertilizers and
other necessary expenditure, the net
returns, although not stated, were no
doubt handsome.
Apart, however, from the profits from
exclusive truck-farming, the garden
acre on the farm can be made an i'm.
portant item in the domestic economy
of the home, if we take into considera
ton all the expense attaching to the
purchase of garden produce necessary
to the health, comfort and well-being

POTATO SPRAYING DEVICE.

on them securely. Two stopcocks are
inserted into the barrel opposite the
bung, and two pieces of hose six feet
long, terminating in fine spray noz-
gle, attached to them. The bunghole
is turned upward and funnel used in
filling it. The horse walks between two
rows of potatoes, the man following
and holding a nozzle in each hand above
the row, on either side. When turning
at the end of a row, the hose may be
laid across the barrel to stop the flow.
The pressure of the liquid in the bar.
rel, if well elevated, is sufficient to pro-
duce heavy flow, and the jolting of the
machine will keep the paris green in So
luton. With a sprayer of this kind one
person can easily spray ten acres Of

ABOUT ROAD BUILDING.
Suggestions Submitted by Well-Known
Canadian Engineer.


Suggestions Submitted by a well-Known
Canadian Engineer.
Country roads are commonly di-
vided into two classes gravel and dirt,
writes A. w. Campbell, c. E. high
way commissioner for Ontario, in
Farmers Advocate. The terms good"
and "bad" are frequently regarded as
synonymous with these, and as our
roads are usually constructed, this in
terchange of words is to some extent
not without reason. The way to con-
struct good gravel road is to first
build a good dirt road from the nat
ural soil.
A good dirt road to those who have
lriven through sloughs designated
"bad"roads during the past spring,
will seem an impossibility. And yet
these bad roads are chosen in June by
the teamster in preference to the
"good" gravel roads. These latter are
now collection of parallel ruts, with
rocks firmly set, protruding or rolling
loose under the wheels and the feet of
She horses.
The diseases being SO perfectly
known, it is poor recommendation for
our inventive powers if we cannot pro-
huce the remedies. For dirt roads,
take the water out and keep it out;
Tor gravel roads, this and more. There
will be less moisture remaining in the
roads after the rains fail to assist the
djsintegrating and upheaving action of
the frost. There will be less water to
be carried away in the spring, and more
ample means to do it quickly. A dry
foundation for road is as necessary
as for any other structure. We're the
benefits of drainage better known, our
system of roads would soon be vastly
improved.
Drainage must be secured at the sur
face of the road and beneath it.
Neutrality-suspicious. may be few ex-
ceptions-will accomplish more than
surface drainage. Where and how to
place the drains is a matter regard
be formulated, since each mile or less
of roadway may lead to an entirely
new combination of circumstances.
Surface drainage is attained by round
ing up the road bed ordinarily with a
rise of not less than one nor more than
one and one-half inches to the foot, pro-
viding open bitches on each side of the
grade. Crown the roadway on hills
slightly more, so as to draw the water
sharply to the bitches. Water al
lowed to follow the track of the wheels
will wear them to ruts, and deposit q
softened mass of mud at the foot of the
hill.
The drains running parallel to the
road about three feet below the surface
and at the edge of the grade will usual
ly afford the best method of under
draining. Take advantage of all nat
ural water courses to relieve the bitches
of their water. Use hard, well-burned
tile laid carefully to q uniform grade,
with a fall of not less than three feet
to the mile, and if it can be obtained at
reasonable cost, not less than six feet.
Provide culverts where needed, and
do not allow the roadway to interfere
with natural drainage. Do not build
culverts higher than the approaching
roadway, as muddy hollows in each
