A MIGHTY STRUGGLE.

II is beyond the wisdom OF any to foretell the
final outcome Of the gigantic battle going on be-
tween organized labor and the mighty steel trust
Contests of the past between labor and capital
were small affairs compared TO the present one
Even the great Homestead strike of 1892 which
was credited correctly perhaps with the election of
president Of the United States involved only about
$1,000 workingmen
The issue in the present strike is regarded bv both
sides of principle and for that reason it is diff
cult to see where there can be any compromise The
Amalgamated association, as these workngmen are
termed, insist that all Of the mills in the steel trust
shall be union mills OF course there are minor uues
essence Of their contention The trust managers de.
certain Of their employees to force them to join the
unions but it is probable that the real reason is
that by throwing orders to the non-union mills the
union workers can be starved into subsection.
The question Of wages is in wise involved in this
immediate trouble; union and non-union men receive
the same pay This being true contest is appar.
emily beyond the possibility OF compromise and in
eyitably side the other viii have to back down
The struggle win be costly to both sides Idle mills
will mean that while labor is not earning wages the
trust will not be earning dividends.
il is not TO be supposed that the trust cares any
thing for its nonunion employes-at least not enough
TO voluntarily incur the inevitable heavy losses in divi
deuds-and about the only they will try to put
them to viii be a club to beat the life out of the
unions in an effort to the only barrier between
the working men and low wages.
Meantime it is hard to see the end of the struggle
or to predict the consequences arising therefrom

Lo,inr an Arm in Battle.

Some one, asked Capt. Luclus ID.
Creighton, of Missouri, how it felt to
have an arm shot off. Capt. Creighton
served during the civil war between
the United States in confederate
regiment and his left sleeve hangs
empty at his side. "It doesn't feel at

swered. "It is chiefly in the lack Of
feeling that you know you have been

when the bullet struck me 1 couldn't

HAY IN THE STACK.
HOW 1t Can he Measured with n De-
gree of Accuracy Sufficient for
Ordinary Purposes.

Several correspondents have writ
ten for a certain method of measur-
ing hay in the stack. Here is one
that is said to be quite correct, but
who first formulated it we are un-
able. to say: Measure the stack for
length, width and the "over." To get
the "over" throw tape line over the
stack at an average place, from
ground to ground, drawing it tightly.
Multiply the width by the over and
divide this result by four; multiply
result of division by the length for
approximate cubical contents of
stack. To reduce to tons: For hay
that has stood in stack less than 20
days, divide cubical contents by sig;
for more than 20 and less than 60
days, divide cubical contents by 422;
for more than GO days, divide cubical
contents by $50. For instance, take a
stack which measures II feet wide,
5s feet long and SO feet over. Stack
has stood Is days. Multiply 1? by
a6, equals 612. Divide 612 by 4, equals
153. Multiply 153 by length 5s, equals
S,S74, which gives the cubical con-
tents in feet. Divide s,s74 by 512,
equals 17.3 tons in stack.
In the bay the rule is to multiply
the length, width and height of the
bay, or the hay, together, and then
divide the total by $50, the supposed
number of cubic feet in ton of good
timothy after it is we'll settled. Thus
bay 20 feet long, Is feet wide and
Is feet high would contain ~ tons
and 1850 pounds. Of course these
measurements are only approximate,
and the actual results will show
slight variations either one way or
the other. There is no rule that can
be absolutely correct.-Washingtoa

The new cheese factory in Craw-
ford county, Pa, is 30 by es feet in size,
double boarded and papered on the out
side, with cement floor. The work
room is 80 by 80 feet, with n slanting
floor that falls about A inches in 26
feet, while the other feet ,slants to
1t, forming gutter for all 'slops to
run off. There are two curing rooms.
The small one is papered and ceiled
on the inside. In this we put our new
cheese for 8 to 1e days, after which
they are moved to room No. 2, which
we call the cold room. This room was
sheathed on the inside, papered on

A Joke on the Doctor.

Women one afternoon a physician found
three or four little girls who, while await
ing treatment, had evidently made friends,
and were huddled together on one bench,
eagerly discussing something of great in
terest, which on investigation proved to be
a much handled "chunk" of candy. In as
tonshment he inquired what they were do
ing. Some questioning finally elected an
explanation that "de one what tells de big.
gest lie wins it," "Oh," said the doctor, II
am ashamed of you. When was little like

and down, papered on those, then
ceiled over the'paper, thus making two
air chambers, one of inches and one
2 inches. 1t was ceiled and pa
pered overhead and filled with saw
dust level with the joists.
Two 12-inch ventilators run from
the ceiling up through the roof. The
windows in this room are of two
thiclSnesses of glass. There are also
two small openings in the wall in op-
posite corners, to allow cold 'air to
come in when the night IS cooler than
the day: Last fall when the thermom-
eter stood for several days above 90
degrees in the shade, we never saw it
above 76 degrees in this room. This
spring we put in cold air duct.
The cheese are placed on a truck
as they are taken from the presses and
pushed to the curing rooms. The
whey is pasteurized as soon as drawn
and kept in tanks covered with boards
and roofing paper. Some of our pa
irons say that the value of the whey
was doubled by pasteurizing.
The building sets on a tile founda-
tion, built high enough so no boards
touch the ground. 1t is covered with
an asbestos roofing. We use no hoist
ing crane to unload, as the cans are
dumped over saddle from the wag-
ons. The upper story over work
rooms is used for boxes, workshop,
etc.-Orange Judd Farmer.

round tn.

about to begin the business of the
occasion shell from federal bat
terry came kissing along, struck one
of the party just above the eyes and
tore off the upper half of his skull.
The body fell forward on the blanket,
the remainder of the party fell back
ward, stunned by the concussion and
momentarily forgetful of the danger
to which their edibles were exposed.
One of the number, however, instant
ly apprehending the significance of
the incident and the Importance of
the impromptu feast, recovered him
self, jerked the dead body off the
blanket, meantime swearing at his
companions for falling down and let
ting the man bleed so close to the
biscuits. ''They would all have been
spoiled if it had not been for me-" he
angrily remarked, and, after conced-
ing the truth of the statement, the
body was temporarily laid aside and
the feast began.
These half-famished soldiers fur
nished an unconscious illustration of
the ease with which men can accus-
tom themselves to surroundings that
would ordinarily be considered in the
last degree repulsive. Death at the
feast is grewsome visitor, and in
the peaceful walks of life a sudden
calling away by the grizzly monarch
of one of tn" participants in fes-
tive occasion instantly deprives the
entire party of appetite and enjoy
ment, buts.to soldiers in state of
siege, wounds, blood and death are so
often seen that sensibility is dulled
and the most frightful spectacles are
beheld without emotion, almost with
indifference, as the ordinary Incl
dents of military life, the common oc-
currences of battle and campaign.
The death of soldier was to this lit
tie party of -four thieves no more
than any daily occurrence, but bis
cults were unusual, entirely out of
the line of their everyday life, hence
the soldiers death from n bursting
shell assumed an Importance quite
subordinate to that of prospective
loss of the dainties they had taken so
much trouble to procure. In other
words, the siege, the shell firing, the
sight of the wounded and dying men
had all become monotonous, but the
biscuits were n decided novelty, hence
the death was treated with compara-
tive indifference.

BISCUITS IN CAMP.
Something So Unusual That the d cath
of n Comrade Was
Ignored

While the siege of Vicksburg was
in it's most exciting stage and the ra-
tions of the beleaguered garrison had
been reduced to mule meat and un-
ground corn, party of confederates
succeeded, by what seemed to them
miraculous good fortune, in obtain
ing a small quantity of wheat flour,
relates the st. Louis Giube-Democrat.
They had not come into possession of
their treasure without difficulty.
Much planning had been found neces-
sary in order to accomplish the theft
by which the -four was obtained, and
it was consequently priced, not only
in proportion to it's quantity, or
rather lack of quantity, but also in
proportion to some difficulty in ac-
QUESTION. The little squad of jubi-
liant thieves, after brief prepara-
ton, determined to make biscuits.
The biscuits were accordingly made
and, burned on the outside, raw on
the inside. were finally ready for con-
sumption, and, in imposing array,
were displayed on blanket with the
daily mule beef and other edibles is-
sued by the confederate commissa-
riat.
The hungry pilferers gathered
round the festal blanket, but when
