The men aboard lodged and jumped
from side to side to escape them and
were successful, with the exception of
the motorman. A great rock struck
him full in the forehead, and he drop
ped to the floor of the platform into a.
pool of his own blood that covered the
entire platform. The assistant. as soon
as the man dropped, grasped the brakes
and controlling handle and faced the
mob. A few feet more and the car was

With a sudden jerk it came to a stop.
and all aboard it were thrown forward
one Of the conductors falling among a
pile OF broken glass, to receive some
ugly flesh wounds and cuts.
The conductor and one motorman
joined the strikers and the wounded
man went to the hospital. He said his
name was Marshall, and he lived at
Greenpoint, L. l.
Several thousand strikers and sym
pathizers charged at dusk on a wagon
load of non-union men who had been
sent out from the Quail street barns by
the company to repair the trolley
wires which had been cut during the
riots of the morning. The police were
powerless to stop the storm of stones
and bricks showered upon the non
union men from vacant lots, cross
streets and housetops. The men lay
upon their faces on the floor of the
wagon, and surrounded by the mounted
men, who used their clubs on the more
aggressive of the rioters. were hurried
back to the barns Two of the non
anion men were injured, and several of
the mob severely clubbed. Three ar
rests were made
Eight arrests have been made, and
thus ended the first days attempt to

We are asked what is the best way
to manage a balky horse. In the first
place, we never owned but two. One
of these we could always cure of his
balky fits by wrapping a piece of plug
tobacco around his bit. When the
weed began to make him feel sick, he
would forget his meanness and get
right down to work all right. The 9TH
er we let a horse jockey have. One
thing is sure-it never does any good
to thrash a horse for being baIky. The
wise man will try to find out the cause.
1t may be too big a load or a tender
shoulder or simple fright. Unnamable
crueltles are practiced upon balky
horses all over the country when the
law of kindness would accomplish
much better results. Sometimes one
gets hold of horse with a naturally
sullen and ugly temper. Not much
can be done with this sort, and the
sooner one gets rid of them the better.

MAKING OVER OLD TREES

We are building over some thrifty
1-year-old apple trees this spring-some
trees which we bought, planted and
cared-for in good faith, supposing them
to be of certain desired varieties. but
which proved when they fruited to be
utterly worthless mavericks. We find
that it is a slow and tedious lob to
build over these trees - in fact. the
work cannot be all done in one season.
when had the grating been done when
the trees were 2-year-olds the graft
would have done the work and given
US good trees. This nicely illustrates
the process Of rebuilding the habits
and character of a matured man when
an attempt is made to reform him. The
work is slow and cannot all be done at
once, when had he been taken in hand
as boy it would have been an easy
matter.

At least one retired farmer in each
town in the west can make enough
to keep him all summer any year by
laying in a supply of hay and wood
when the roads are good and prices low
to furnish his town neighbors when
the annual spring blockade of bad
roads comes. 4 man to make this
scheme pay does not want to have any
church connection and may expect to
be rated as a pretty hard man.

An epidemic causing blindness has
overtaken the vast focks of crows in
Virginia, rendering them unable to
search for food. and as a result they
are starving to death by thousands.
While this is bad for the crows. it is
not so bad for the farmers whose
crops they destroy and the small birds
whose nests they rob.

About 100 new creameries are to be
started in the state of Minnesota the
coming season. A new creamery costs
from $500 to $4,000 and should be
started only where there is at least
400 cows in sight tributary to it and
with a community and conditions
which will permit of an increase of
this number up to 1000. Probably the
same mistake will there be made as in
Iowa and Wisconsin Of establishing
creameries in localities before the COWS
were in sight and before the people as
q whole were ready to take up the
dairy business.

Tests of the oil from the newly de-

Just two things are responsible for
the very large amount Of poor cheese
made and offered for sale in this coun-
try-One, the lack of a well developed
and educated nose on the man who
tends to the taking in and weighing of
the milk and the other the curing of the
cheese at temperatures running from
so to 100 degrees. And when the in
efficient nose at the weigh can and the
mercury on a tear get to working in
conjunction it is the easiest thing in the
world to load up the shelves Of the cur

The question of help in the house
for the farmers wife is one of the
most serious problems connected with
the management of the farm. The
work in the farm home is so perfectly
merciless and ever present during the
crop season, 50 closely associated with
the actual work of the farm. that when
the wife and mother is not equal to
the burden imposed upon her it be-
comes a most serious matter. Three
meals day, and pretty good ones az
that, must somehow be got up. for
hired men will not stand cold snacks
or picked up lunches. Help for the
wife is hard to get and becomes more
so each year. Now. there are a few
things which any man can do, if he
has not already secured them, which
will greatly tighten the Haerk-in the

less to procure these things than it will

Accidentally Drowned.

NJ. j. Murphy, miner owning
property at Cameron, met death in
mysterious manner Saturday.
Early in the morning his body was
found lying at the bottom of the
cellar being excavated at the cor
ner of Elk avenue and Second
street. A railing extended along
the front and light was hanging
in the excavation and it cannot be
determined positively how he came
to get into the place. He evident
ly was walking along the edge of the
cellar noting the hour of time las
he had small clock in his hand
when found) when he slipped and
fell, stunning himself and drowning
in the small pool of water in the
hole. He was about Al years of
age and was well liked by friends
made since coming here. While
not strictly temperate he was not
an habitual drinker. No relatives
could be located. The funeral was
held Sunday afternoon from Mil
ler's undertaking rooms.
