THE swITcRMEN's STRIKE.
The First Days: Dew lopments Are Not En-
couraging to the Men
(By the Associated press.) }

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 26.---Judging by
apparent conditions the switchmen's
strike, inaugurated this morning has
proven fiat failure, but a reversal OF
this may result IL the strikers can make
good the claims put forth tonight.
The strike was ordered by the Switch
mems Union of America and the claim
was made carly in the day by the un-
ion officials that every road in the city,
with the exception Of the Pittsburg Fort
Wayne and Chicago. and the Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis would
be tied up completely. The develop
ments Of the day, however, demonstrate
that only one road, the Allegheny Val
ley was seriously affected. On this road
but one crew was at work and the roads
business was badly crippled
The company officials, while admitting
that freight traffic has been practically
suspended, say that within twenty-four
hours they Will have all tho men they
need and work will be resumed as usual
The other roads affected were the Bal
timore and Ohio, IL men out. Pittsburg
Junction, Ga branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio, 15 men out; the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie, men out; the Pennsylvania,
Is men out.
One hundred and fifty would be high
estimate of the number OF men who
struck. None OF these roads suffered
much Inconvenience, because new men
were rapidly secured to take the place
of the strikers, and some of them. upon
discovering that the strike order had not
been generally obeyed returned to their
places. meeting Of the union was
held this afternoon and the claim was
made that the strike was a success az
far as II had gone and that about 700
more union men would be out within
forty-eight hours.

To Overcome the Effects of DROUGHT.

Farmers in old sections of the
country notice that droughts affect
their crops more than they did in
former years, and naturally con-
clude that the droughts are more
severe and longer continued. AS
to the correctness of the claim that
the droughts are more severe now
we will not attempt to decide, as
we have not the statistics before
US. We will, however, assert that
this trouble from drought as it
affects the farmer is one of COM
mon occurrence, that few have
tried to solve but jumped at the
conclusion that the dry weather
was entirely responsible.
Virgin or new soil withstands
drought better than old soil. Why?
Because of the humus in that soil
resulting from the crops of grass,
weeds ETC., growing up year after
year and then decaying. In old
farming sections commercial fertili-
GERS are largely depended upon
for keeping up the fertility, but
they do not supply the humus SO
necessary to keep the correct me-
chanical condition in the soil and
act as sponge to hold moisture
during droughts.
The'thing needful is make and
use all the barnyard manure pos
sibie,' and supplement this with
all the crops you can possibly
grow to die down on the ground
or turn under. There are plenty
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1901-03-16

of them now, and the farmer who
does not avail himself of them fails
woefully in living up to his op-
portunities.
We mention some of the great
est friends of the farmers in this
respect. Medium, m m m o t h,
alsyke and alfalfa clover, cowpeas,
soy beans and rape.
Too much emphasis cannot he
placed upon the importance of
these crops as reviewers of soil for
all crops. The more intensive
your farming operations are to be,
the greater reliance must be plac-
ed upon the above cheap pasture,
hay, humus and fertilizer crops.

FOR THE FARMER.
Pruslse the Orchards.

Now is a good time to look
through the orchard and see about
the pruning which needs to be
done. Orchards do not require
pruning every year, except it may
be where they are growing freely,
then there may be a few branches
to cut away each year. In old
orchards there always are decayed
limbs coming on; these should be
trimmed out. Many young trees
can have their growth regulated
to large degree by watching
them in their growing season and
niping off the ends of growing
shoots and cutting away others.
Trees of beautiful outline may be
produced in this way.
At this season of the year when
there are no leaves in the way we
are better able to see just what
trimming needs to be done. We
may find many trees that require
no pruning at all, while there may
be others that need it badly.
Many trees are much too crowded
with branches, and it will be bet
ter to cut out too many than to
leave them crowded. Air and
light must be let in to all parts of
the tree, if all branches are expect
ed to bear alike. The lower part
of the tree is apt to be thick-too
many limbs just above the lower
branches-and the center of the
tree is often too crowded for the
best results. In taking off branch
es that are not wanted, cut them
loose to the base, and never an
inch or two above where they
start; for if not cut close, three or
four shoots will start out, thereby
increasing rather than decreasing
the number. s.,
Small twigs are apt to be toe
numerous and these should be cut
out. An important part of this
work is in properly painting the
wounds. When pruned after the
sap starts it is not so easy a matter

Following are some good direC-
tons for sugar-curing pork, which
have been followed for many years
with good success. Hogs of 2oo
to $50 pounds weight are best for
family use. In dressing a hog it
should be so hung that it can be
split down the back, and the sides
allowed to seperate, the head be-
ing cut off. The leaf and some
other surplus fat should be re-
moved at once. This allows the
meat to cool thoroughly, and it is
in good shape to handle. The
meat barrel should be kept in a
cool place without freezing. A
good way to keep the hams and
shoulders after being cured is to
slice and fry and pack in jars,
covering with hot lard. Fresh
pork may be kept this way in hot
weather, but it must be thoroughly
cooked. While the cured meat re-
quires much less cooking to pre-
serve il.

The notbed.

Some people have a fear that
they cannot make and operate a
hotbed. That fear has no foun-
dation. You, reader, ask, How
can l make hotbed?" In this, as
in any other farm or garden work,
we must ask the question. What
do we aim at?" We want to pro-
duce bottom heat and surface light
without any risk from cold. A
column might be written if we
were to go into all the details, but
the outline need not take up a
third of that space. In almost
any garden--speaking of the farm
er's garden-there is likely to be a
spot more sheltered than the rest
of the land. One does not want
great deal of space. Select this if,
also, it is we'll exposed to the sun
light. Excavate a space, say 6xIo
feet. You can obtain sash already
glazed; make the bed larger or
smaller, according to your liking
or your means. Let the excava-
ton be 20 to "a inches deep; fill
this level full with horse manure.
You may mix it with hog manure,
because this, also, is heating; lay
the top, or best, soil by itself.
This manure must be tramped
down by horse or man until you
have it E inches lower than the
surface soil. If at all possible,
have layer of sand of q or inch
es. Now fix your frame and glass
covering SO as to fit snug in the
corners. Of course, you must have
a convenient slant to carry off the
rain. Put the best soil, or humus
that is, decayed vegetation-on
top and water freely. The glass
in the sash draws the heat and
generates the bottom heat by a
sort of fermentation. In the course
of two or three days you may sow
the various kinds of seed, such as
cabbage, tomatoes, cauliflower,
kohlrabi, lettuce, etc, and with
these you may SOW radishes sparse
ly. These will be the first for the
table. Now it becomes necessary
to watch the vegetation and the
heat. Ordinarily, the sashes will
have to be lifted to obtain the
circulation of air, or it may be
necessary in the middle of the
day to remove them altogether as
the sun ascends--speaking after
the manner of men, for, in reality,
he does not ascend, but the earth.

We regard the attempt to delude
the South into supporting the subsidy
grab as a. barefaced thimblerigging
game. As we pointed out months
ago when it was first made prOmi-
nent, it is a scheme for the further en-
richment of the great Northern steam
ship lines, and there is no evidence
that it will bring Il single steamer to
Southern ports. We also took occas-
ion to say that if our cotton manufac-
turers desired to enter foreign mar
kets-a course we have long urged in
their Interestingly could with great
ease put on lines Of steamers from
Southern ports for direct trade with
those countries of the world with
which we now have deficient means Of
transportation. 1t would be entirely
practicable, we said, for the cotton
manufacturers Of South Carolina to
club in, hire tramp steamers and
start line from Charleston to all
South American ports, thereby open
ing to themselves 4 trade which here
tOfore they have ignord while clamor
ing for the open door in China. Moth
ing is clearer to our mind than that
this subsidy bill, if passed, will make
the illionaires of The: North
richer and do no good whatever to
the South. Senator McLaurin does
not know half as much about the cot
ton mill industry in South Carolina
as the State does and we are not pre-
pared to accept him as a guide in this
matter, the more particularly as We
suspect him of being himself guided
