TO STOP woR XII 1T IS
STARTED. ,As

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 10. - The NE
tenth week Of the coal strike will start
with one Of the most important moves
yet made by the operators.
The plan Is to resume work under the
protection Of the state troops. Tne
calling of the troops to Shenandoah
was to suppress the rioting and guard
the town. The expected calling OF
troops to Duryea will be to prevent In
reference with the workers and at
lacks upon the Warnke washery, which
was stopped by the rioters on Thurs
day.
The proposition is simply this. that
Warnke is to operate his washery with
coal guards II it is possible, with the
local police If they are capable, with the
sheriff's deputies If they are able, ana
with the state troops IL necessary.
It is said an attempt will be made TO
start the Maltby colliery of the Lehish
Valley Coal company to-day. ABOUT
twenty electric lights have been strung
within the Enclosure and fully fifty coal
and iron policemen were +
Taken to the Mines
last evening. The electric lights will
enatle the guards to be stationed at
many points and have a clear view OF
all the surroundings. One Of the under
superintendents of the company, when
questioned, said he was unable to say
y neither an attempt would be made to
start work at the colliery. At strike
headquarters some Of the officers are
considerably exercised over the matter.
The leaders of the strikers are holding
meetings and warning the strikers 20
keep away from the washery and to
avoid crowds, while peace committees
have also been appointed for the sams
purpose, but there is no noticeable
change in the sentiment of the crowds,
for they are determined to stop work
at the washery If it is started.

A lady who lives near me has toad
so well trained that 1t jumps upon her
lap and then upon n table near her In
order to catch flies. Another lady has
tree toads as pets. They have the free
dom of the house and go about hunting
flies. Whenever they wish to go out
on the porch they hop close to the door
and trill. My friend opens the door,
and out they go. When they wish to
return. they approach the door and
make the same noise to ask for ad-
mittance They enjoy life indoors and
always come back into the house of
.heir own accord. They have basin
of sand for their bed and large pan
of water for their bathtub. They are
very orderly and clean. When they
wish to sleep, they go to their basin OF
sand, and when to wash they go to
their pan of water for a bath. They
hibernate in the house, burying them
selves In the basin of sand and remain

A Little Too Sure.

A well known philadelphian Is noted
for his inability TO remember faces.
He has passed by his best friends on
the street as though he never before
had seen them. A woman OF his nc
quaintance is equally famous for new
cr forgetting a face. She prldes her
self on this gift" and she declares
that the faces OF every man, woman
and child whom she has ever met IL
photographed on her memory. The abb
sentminded man had passed her by
several times, looking blankly at her.
At last she said:
II wager n box OF the best cigars
you ever smoked that | will recall my
self TO your recollection the next time ]
meet you"
The man in return wagered box OF
gloves. One day the woman, going
along Walnut street, felt sure she saw
the man. He was abreast of her and
showed no sign OF recognition. The
woman had an umbrella with her. She
gave sudden poke with 1t and hit the
mans ribs. Startled, her victim looked
up.

man. Il struck the wrong man."
She had never seen him before in

The Use OF Bordeaux Commended. 4
The experiments of several years In
the culture OF potatoes by the Cornell
IN. " station, cooperating with farm.
ers in different parts of the state, were
continued along the same lines last
year and have given additional re-
suits of practical value. These results
emphasize the Importance of maintain
ing a sufficient supply of humus in the
soil TO conserve moisture. "On soil
well supplied with humus the moisture
may be conserved even through Sc
we're drought and fair crop OF pota-
toes produced" The great Importance
of thorough tillage has been very clear
ly brought out In these experiments,
but II has also been shown that "inten-
siyc tillage alone u not sufficient to
produce large yield Of potatoes In
tenslve tillage may be overdone. Dur
ing drought only so much tillage Is
necessary as shall keep the surface
mulch loose and thoroughly dry. The

hold about forty pounds. These boxes
are strongly made and last for several
years if properly used. They have
cleats across the ends which allow ven-

In picking apples, for instance, GER

as the pickers bring them in their

an empty one. Usually the apples are
sorted into three lots.

stacked In the shade and as soon as
convenient are hauled to the drier or
warehouse, where they are again
stacked until used. The apples as well
as other fruit are hauled from the
orchard on low wheeled trucks, with
springs under the platform. These
trucks have tires six inches wide and
are used for all kinds of hauling on

Time of Cutting Hay.

The results of experiments conduct.l
ed by different stations show that the
degree of maturity at which hay isl
cut influences very largely the shrinkJ
age during curing. At the Pennsylva5

average % per cent in weight, while
late cut hay lost only 21.5 per cent,
Timothy. cut when just beginning to-
head, lost 10 per cent of water In cur
ing; when cut at the beginning of the
blossoming period, GO per cent, and
when cut little later, or about the
usual time, 81 per cent. The Michigan
station found shrinkage OF about 80
per cent In curing clover. At the New
York station meadow fescue mixed
with little red clover lost in one lot
GIGS per cent and In another 5S25 per
cent during curing. The moisture re-
