The welcome reception of the Har-

headquarters of the Yale oarsmen, and
the invitation extended to him to in

may be regarded as the final blow to-
the system of spying upon the secret
practice of crews matched for compe-
tltlon. This time-honored feature of
the training period has savored too
strongly of professionalism to be a fit
adjunct of college sport.

persed after having attained their OBJ
ject without trouble Immediately
upon receipt of the news of the pro-
posed raid the mine owners at these
pits ordered a suspension until the ex-
element would die out. In the after
noon the strikers held mass meeting
at which speeches were made to the
effect that if the men did not remain
out the strikers would return 1000
strong and instead Of bringing musical
instruments they would bring guns. a
committee was appointed to guard the
miTes and report in case the men re-
turred to work.
The miners will probably resume to-
morrow. Some of the men are afraid
to go in again as they say the strikers
threatened violence and said they
would burn the cars and tipples. The
strikers now say suspension in the
Panhandle district is absolute, but the
operators Of the Boone and Allison
mines say their men are not on a
strike and that. their mines We're
closed down by their orders to prevent
any possible conflict.
Notwithstanding the present quiet
the operators express themselves as
being alarmed over the situation and
have doubled their forces of deputies
at the mines. The trainmen who are
to take the coal from the Allison mine
have been armed with Winchesters
like the deputies.

Women nortlculturIsts.

Women are working successfully IN
almost every field. Vick's Magazine
states that according to the census OF
1890 there were 312 commercial green
houses, or about one in fifteen, owned
and managed by women. We have a
personal acquaintance with several
women who are successful retail flor
lists. Other women, to our knowledge,
are making success Of raising car
nations and other flowers for the
wholesale trade. These people soon
learn that the business of raising and
selling flowers is beset by much care
and labor that do not come under the
head Of poetry, And yet nearly all
women florists that we have met were
led into the business because they first
of all loved flowers. 1t adds to the de-
light and success Of any occupation il
question that, as a rule, women have a
greater fondness than men for flowers.
Why, therefore, should they not en-
gage in growing and handling them for
profit? The rougher work about flower
raising, such as the care of greenhouse
furnaces, the handling of soil and ma
nure and the like, can easily be dono
by men who work for moderate wages.
If women are successful as florists they
are equally so as raisers Of vegetables
and smaller fruits, especially strawber-
ries; they direct the rougher work, help
to prepare the produce for customers.
and perhaps take in hand the selling,
thus keeping closely in touch with the
state of the market Generally speak
ing, we think that the raising of straw
berries near our best markets is further
from being overdone than that of al
most any other kind of produce. The
consumption is enormous and fresh
fruit brought quickly from the fields,
without a large distance intervening,
always will sell considerably higher
than fruit long from the vines that has
been shipped. Much of the work Of
picking and handling small fruits is
suited to be done by women.

The Health of the Hog.

In an address to swine breeders L
A. Davis said: Always guard care
fully the health of your hogs. Provide
fresh beds once a week, using disin-
fectants each time around the sleeping
quarters, troughs and adjacent
grounds. Airslacked lime and carbolic
acid are good diginfectants. Close
study and observation has led me to
believe that we can produce pork of the
best quality at great deal less cost
than the average farmer has been do
ing, and at the same time greatly re-
ducing the risk Of loss from disease.
One way to reduce the cost of pork is
by reducing the time to produce. A
thrifty pig that will weigh two hundred
pounds gross, with meat we'll marked
with lean, is the most desirable for the
market of the world to-day; and with
good breed of hogs, mature mothers,
proper care during pregnancy and care
full treatment Of pigs, this weight can
be produced at six months. Keep the
pigs growing from start to finish. To
make the most of the SOW, let her pro-
duce two litters year, prefer March
and September for narrowing times.
Since some argue that fall pigs do not
pay, let me give one illustration: About
the 10th of last October l had a SOW
to farrow litter of ten pigs; no spe-
cial care was given them, as the wealth
er was pleasant, end when the pigs
were about seven weeks old they were
turned into the artichoke field with tho
SOW, where they were allowed to run
with other hogs all winter, except when
very muddy they were shut off, and
when the ground was hard frozen they
were fed some corr"
