NORFOLK, VA, March 1b.-The boy

Light Company was partially raised to-
night ty the Central Labor Union. The
portion lifted was against the electro
and gas plants but will be enforced
against the street car company.
The strikers were paid over $500 to-
night by the Central Union, that amount
having been contributed by the local
unions.

very few disturbances tonight. Two

of the fact that. the non-union men at

suggested in the accompanying cut.
A shed 20 feet square will afford
room sufficient for a flock of 40
sheep; it will give 60 feet of feeding
room or a foot and a half of rack
for each sheep, and that is perfect
ly ample. Occasionally the upper
part, if occupied with nothing else,
can be utilized to good advantage as
a lambing shed, in which the ewes
about to bring lambs may be safely
accommodated. If employed for this
purpose a gradually sloping passage
with bars across every nine inches
to give foothold, should be used.
The front of the shed, as can be
seen, is half open, a thing most de-
sirable for sheep, in that they rIed
fresh air and are able to withstand
much cold if only kept dry. The
manure, too, may be left in such a
shed the whole winter, and if sufi-
cient litter is furnished, the sheep
will trample it SO hard that there
will be no disagreeable odors
from it.
The shed, of course will need feed
racks all around, on three sides, and
there may be short racks on each
side of the doorway, which will add

BONE MEAL FOR / G

ON the Growth.

The pigs allowed neither bone. no
wood ashes to develop any consid.
cradle frame became excessively fat,
their bellies and jowls almost drag.
ging on the ground-they were
dwarfs. Prof. L. Henry says where
ashes or bone meal were fed the
pigs developed much larger frames,
and were more normal, though not
entirely satisfactory. A tablespoon
full daily for two animals has q
marked effect on their strength.
They also made better gains for the
feed given. When it came to test
ing the breaking strength of the
thigh bones, it vas found that those
of the pigs getting bone meal were
about twice as strong as the bones
of the pigs allowed neither ashes nor
meal. The bones of the pigs getting
ashes were not quite as strong as
those getting bone meal. The av-
erage breaking strength of a single
thigh bone was as follows: When
neither was fed, 80 pounds; when
ashes were fed, 5s1 pounds.
In these tests the thigh bones
were placed on rounded iron edges
four inches apart, and the breaking
weight brought down directly above
on the middle of the bone.
We next burned the thigh bones,
and found those of the pigs getting
ashes or bone meal contained much
more than those getting neither. 1t
may be said, in passing, that this ex-
pertinent was not practical directly,
for no sensible man would expect to
keep growing pigs on maize meal
only, as we did, for so long a period.
1t was an experiment to test wheth-
Ell OIL not such substances as ashes
and bone meal may prove beneficial
to pigs, since these animals usually
crave ashes and similar substances
even when running at large. A table
spoonful of bone meal daily for two
pigs is enough to have a most
marked effect on the strength of the
bones when the pigs are kept under
the abnormal conditions of our ex
periment.-Rural World.
