ed with Hon. Henry /. Wilson, who has

Old Scale Continued.

At the joint conference OF miners and
operators OF Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, held at indianapolis,
1t was decided Friday night that the
same scale OF prices be continued that
have prevailed throughout the field for
the last year, with the following excep-
tions and notifications: The operators
OF the Pittsburg district concede the
checkoff system. The Illinois opera
tors will meet the miners in joint con-
ference and arbitrate all disputes aris-
ing in that field; local unions will take
up the 10 per cent increase demanded
by the miners, and II upon the examina-
tion of the books of the operators it is
shown that there has been an increase
of 10 per cent in the amount OF business
done, or in the price Of the commodity,
the demand is to be granted by the
operators.

Willow Growing.

One Of the incest little side issues
possible to a farmer who has a small
stream running through his place is
willow growing. There is a constant
and if anything increasing. demand for
basket willows, and in many locations
the bushes can be grown with little or
no expense or trouble. Men who have
gone into it, however, on a very small
scale as a trial have generally found it
so profitable that they have devoted
some thought to it's details and have
become extensive willow producers.
The department Of agriculture some
years ago published a short pamphlet
describing the best methods Of raising
willows and the conditions under which
they produce the highest priced reeds.
Willows will grow readily wherever
the ground is at all moist. Where a
man has a small fat which it would be
possible for him to overflow by the
construction Of a cheap OF temporary
earth dam, requiring perhaps a days
labor with his team. it might pay him
to look into the willow production
business a little and see if be cannot
create an additional industry for the
farm without interfering with the 9TH
er work. The juvenile members of
some farmers families like to try their
hand at making willow ware during
the winter evenings.-Guy e. Mitchell
in American C~ultivator.

HINTS Q FARMERS
Pigs and Milk,

The question often arises, Would it
not be more profitable to buy pigs
than to raise them? It would be de-
cidedly an advantage if the supply
could be filled with any kind of GER
tainty and of a quality that would give
full compensation for labor and feed
and the risk Of buying infectious dis
eases could be eliminated. Is it not
true that whoever engages in animal
husbandry should become a master
eventually both as breeder and feeder?
If it is essential to select a good dairy
cow and sire, it is no less important
to select good breeding sows Of robust
constitution, rustlers at the feeding
trough, prolific, docile (most of this
last depends on ourselves in humane
treatment), a good mother and mixer.
for like will produce like to a greater
or less degree. But we are the model
ers of Improvement. and when we de-
velOp points by our W management
we have a better guarantee that we can
perpetuate them. There must be of
necessity a system Of breeding that
will insure a supply Of pigs of nearly
the same age for the different seasons
in order to have advantage of feeding
the byproducts to the young growing
pigs. There should be also proper
shelter for feeding and breeding. so as
to reduce labor, enhance comfort and
insure full compensation for food con-
sumed. We Of the northwest eve and
anon encounter zero weather and nee
in awhile 40 degrees below. Clean
floors and troughs and dry beds are
as essential for sows and pigs as for
cows and calves. The hog is by ma
ture a clearly animal and never other
wise except by force of his untidy
master.-Cor. National Stockman and
Farmer
