Factoryvile, April S.-The dairy men
make smaller profits than most any
other producers, and then they are
obliged to cart the milk from one 20
three miles, and up to this time have
been obliged TO sell it at a price such
az the dairy companies saw fit to
dictate, or offer them, which generally
runs from about 1ia to PA cents per
quart. The purchasers in the city real
iZc from 6 to 10 cents rcr quart, and
yet set up the claim that they cannot
afford to pay the dafrymen more for it.
Now the dairy men have aroused them
selves and are debating The price to
the milk buyers. They will no doubt
get it If they are firm and 10 not
waver. They are not quite as well or
.ganized yet as they should be, but they
will all fall into line, no doubt, in the
near future. When the strike was
ordered last Saturday there were q
few that deliberately went back on
their pledge Of bonor, and continued
to take milk to the condeneery, but
they were met in the streets by the
strikers. and some pretty forcible Ian
guagp was used along with the cries
of ''scabs" from people along the
streets, all of which had their effect.
Some one or two were persuaded to
come back into the ranks for higher
prices. and at meeting Of the Lacka-
wanna and Wyoming nairymen's asso-
citation, held here Monday. the price
offered by the milk buyers was re-
fused and the committee instructed to
negotiate with other buyers. 1t has
been clearly demonstrated at various
places that it paid the dairymcn bet

To say that the crocodile has seen his

rapidity with which he Is lapslng into ths
class of extinct animals As a feature OF
modern Egypt he Is perhaps rather a Curl

to get far beyond the regions OF the Delta
before he can begin to hope for the chance
of being introduced to one. Crocodile

can make the crocodile attractive. and

the toothpick properly comes In. Herodo-
tus noticed the fact, but seems 60 have been
misled as to the motive. He discovered
that the crocodile made friends with a
particular bird, which he allowed to enter
his mouth In order, as the writer sup
posed TO rid the reptile Of the leecheS
which infested his jaws. Pliny says moth
ing OF these pests, but considers the COM
plalsance of the crocodile to be due to the
satisfaction he felt in having his teeth
picked by the bird. Both authors speak
of the bird as a wren; later naturalists
describe It as being as large as a thrush;
while 81 has been reserved for the present
generation of travellers to Identify this
useful friend OF the crocodile as the spur
