A large mass meeting Of the miners
of the Monongahela valley was held
yesterday afternoon to devise ways
and means for carrying on the strike
and induce the men at the mines at
Elizabeth, Bunota and Webster to
come out. 1t was decided to organize
a marching party, and this will be
done in few days.
The miners families along the Mo-
nonpahela river are reported to be
wanting the necessities of life. Desti-
tuition is prevalent at every mining
hamlet and hundreds of families have
not had enough to eat for several days.
At Monongahela City soup house has
been started and committee appoint
ed to solicit provisions.
Miners day closed in this city by a
meeting on Duquesne wharf, where a
crowd of from 5000 to 10000 people as
sembled to hear Eugene V. Debs, Mrs.
Jones and several local speakers.

WESTERN HORSES.
How Eastern Cultivafors Value Them For
Farm Work.

How Eastern Cultivafors Value Them For
Farm Work.
Rural New Yorker has been investi-
eating the subject of western horses on
eastern farms III the endeayor to ascer-
tain if the horses are the equals of sin
liar breeding raised on eastern farms.
A number of representative farmers IN
the east have sent IN their experiences
with green western horses for farm
work. Professor l. P Roberts is led to
believe that horses bred on the soft
prairies of the west which have rela-
lively superb bundance of nitrogenous
compounds and a relative lack of bone
making material in the soil, are not so
firm in bone or so hardy as are the
horses raised in the east, where the soil
contains relatively less nitrogen and
more mineral matter He believes that
the success of the horse breeders about
Lexington, Ky, is due very largely to
the fact that the land there carries very
large quantities Of mineral matter, es
pecially phosphoric acid,
Edward Hoyt, Connecticut, writes:
Western horses are usually very fat
and soft when we buy them. This fat
is made on corn and without work.
When we put them to our hard work
they run down. They will not eat cut
feed and oats, but have to learn. II
takes about year to acclimate and get
q good cat made muscle on them. They
are worth more for work the second
year than the first.
l. s. Woodward, New York, writes
without an exception | have found
them very fat and soft and unable tt
stand hard work or heavy drawing fol
the first year-some of them much Ion
ger. certainly do not consider west
ern raised horse equal TO one raised IL
New York, and if buying team, and
l could get home raised pair in every
way equal in size and build to the west
ern horses, should take them at SO
or $40 higher price every time. -
E. 9. Chapman, New York, thinks
the western horse is equal to the east
ern bred horse after it has lived hert
long enough to lose the corn flesh anG
get "oat muscle. He would treat q
team of western horses as he would q
big, overgrown, fat 4year- colt il
the fall fresh from pasture. Give them
slow, steady, light work, muscle max
ing food and good care, using them fol-
extra until they are really able to dc
heavy work Then the most of them art
good enough for any one.
The opinion was expressed that west
srn horses are more liable to colds than
are eastern horses Gates & Sons, New
York, advised buying them early il
winter: Keep them blanketed, feed
them on a ration made up OF corn, oats
and peas ground together When brought
east in the early spring, they are liable
TO take cold when taken from the stable
and are unable to stand heavy work the
first season. "

A Mistakeu Idea.

Many farmers hold to the mistaken
notion that fertilizers must be used
alone Every fertilizer manufacturer
nowadays, however, is wise enough to
advise farmers to utilize every possible
source of manure or compost on the
farm before buying fertilizers. One
great advantage of commercial fertih-
zers is that they can be used to supple
ment manureS or compost, being posi-
tive and quick acting, while the latter
are slower and more uncertain Many a
man who ignorantly declaims against
commercial fertilizers as costly and I'M
profitable pays two or three times what
it is worth for the city stable manure he
prizes so highly The price of that stuff
has been too high for years. Many
market gardeners about Boston, New
York and Philadelphia find that the
money they used to pay for city manure
will buy several times as much plant
food in the higher grade brands of fer
tilizers according to The New England
Homestead

feet apart. Two or three civilizations
will add greatly to the growth of the
pea vines and at the same time discour
age the weeds an important matter I'M
der the circumstances. Better use some
fertilizer to help make all the growth
possible. Phosphorio acid and potash
are the important elements in this case.
The land will undoubtedly be improved,
even if the crop of peas be gathered rs
proposed. but l should prefer to save
the land the extra drain incident to the
maturing of such large crop of seed
by planting the Clay pea late enough to
grow good large crop of vines without
maturing many peas before frost. The
heavy crop of leaves and vines falls on
the ground and remains there all winter,

teoting from winds that are liable to be
very injurious to light, sandy land

BRUSSELS SPROUTS.
A Money Making Crop II Properly Grown,
Packed and shipped.

y
Packed and Shipped.
The farmers of Long Island are find
ing that brussels sprouts are money
making crop under proper conditions.
To grow brussels sprouts in perfection
is to follow, step by step, the same
methods employed i'll growing cabbage.
The cultivation Of the two Is precisely
the same. IN the same soil and with
the same care and attention the results
Will be the same. But writer III
American Gardening calls attention to
some of the minor details that must be
respected TO make the crop profitable
one. He says:
The first secret of success lies in
growing for a winter rather than fall
crop and herein comes the profit from
it. The farmers have been getting this
, crop in the market too early IN the sea
son. at time when the caullflOwer Is
a drug and the taste is not yet ready
for the new arrival. Brussels sprouts
are not a delicacy until after they have
been visited by several hard frosts, and
they should not be marketed before.
the plants about the first of August,
then the little heads will not be ready
to pick much before December. They
will also be very much harder than
those formed in warm weather, which
has twofold benefit: They sell better
and they will much better withstand the
rigors of winter. More than that, field

ment for two men the entire winter in
picking, packing and shipping. Every
acre set will yield 5000 quarts, under
favorable conditions, providing, Of
course, good seed and thorough cultiya-
ton are included In the conditions.
Now, this is by no means large yield.
1t Is nothing near what the average
should be or what we have seen, yet at
cents per quart it is very good farm
ing.
But how shall they be kept through
the winter? Is common question. The
authority quoted advises taking up, say,
one-third of the plants just before the
ground freezes hard and setting them
erect, as close together as convenient,
WITHOUT DIulSIuR iDtlu, III an tICHdAdi
or, what is better, a piece of wood, if
convenient, and lightly covering with
newly fallen leaves They should not be
| covered so thickly but what the tops
can be seen. These plants can be taken
into the barn or shed as wanted, which
is when the weather is not suitable fol
picking from the open field. Under the
leaves the little heads will continue to
grow all winter, as they will do in the
open field on all days when the temper
AZURE is above the freezing point. The
private gardener can safely let his plants
remain in the garden where they grow
by filling the spaces between with
leaves, which should be strewn In as
lightly as possible, those on the outside
of the bed being kept in place by a
/ brush.
Brussels sprouts can be set closer than
