STRIKE SETTLEMENT BLOCKED.
Operators and Miners at Odds Over
Powder Question.

Haz!eton. Pa. Oct. 19.-The settlement; or
the big strike of anthracite mine workers
is undoubtedly blocked by the question OF
the price miners will be asked In future to
pay for powder.
Employers have agreed TO pay their men
10 per cent more than they were paid
before the strike began. but they insist that
in figuring the net advance of 10 per cent
the reduc. ION of SIS a keg il the price OF
powder shall be taken into consideration.
The miners apparently want TO go Back to
work for the 10 per cent advance and then
arbitrate the question whether they are TO
ses their powder cheaper as an additional
condition.
It is not believed that the mine owners
will grant any such demand and their re-
fusal may mean the indefinite prolongation
of the strike.
The spirit Of jubiiation that prevailed IN
this region on Wednesday has given way to
a feeling Of disappointment. This is appar-
ent everywhere.
ONE COLLIERY WORKING.
Shenandoah, Pa, Oct. 1s.-The Cambridge
coll.ery resumed operations to-day under
q promise to the employees that the 10 per
cent advance would be granted and the
sliding scale abolished.

Fattenfng Hogs.

Now is the time to be pushing along
the hogs that are to be slaughtered this
winter, says The American Cultivator.
We never found anything that would
put the fat on equal to good cornmeal.
or that would make pork more to our
liking. We remember a statement by.
Professor Stewart in which he says
that with good hogs and proper feed
ing n should make s pounds Of pork
from a bushel Of raw corn or 10 pounds
from a bushel of raw meal, 10 pounds
from the corn If boiled and is pounds
from the meal II boiled. He referred to
1--we weight, but we think II he had
said dressed weight he would not have
been far from right. And yet our expe-
rience has been more with what we
called scalded meal. or such as we had
poured boiling water over and stirred
well, allowing 1t to stand until cool
enough to feed. Whether a more thor.
ough cooking would have improved ii
we do not know. We think Theodora
Louis, who Is very good authority on
pork raising, favoA; boiling the meal
until well cooked, but what q feeder
can do for hundreds Of animals might
cost too much Tor labor and fuel II
done for q few.
