THE FUEL QUESTION.

One man writes to the Tribune and
Farmer; al have sickness in my house
hold, and 1t is difficult enough to get on
when coal is cheap and plenty. see
nothing ahead but to chop down trees and
put in wood stoves. This looks like going
backward in civilization" There will be
some good results from the present strike,
no doubt. One of these will be the test
ing of new fuels. The use of oil will in
crease in certain localities, but the farmer
must depend for while on wood. We
shall have an increased impetus given to
forest planting, and that will be good
thing. Timber supply as well as wood
supply has been growing smaller very
rapidly. Our forests are natural wealth,
and only bungling shortsightedness would
destroy them altogether The time is not
far distant when the study of forestry will
occupy prominent position in our high
school system. The easiest way for a
farmer is to let few acres Of his farm
go wild. 1t will soon be forest.

AGRICULTURAL.
MULCH FOR STRAWBERRIES.

A correspondent in the Rural New
Yorker has this to say regarding the use
of cornstalks as mulch for strawberries !:
always use cornstalks as a winter
covering for strawberries, but in connec-
ton with leaves My strawberries are on
stiff land that heaves very badly in winter,
so plants have to be we'll covered find
the stalks keep the leaves in rows from
blowing away better than such brush as
can get. The stalks are put lengthwise
of the rows.
Another says;
consider evergreen boughs the ideal
strawberry covering, but quite an expense
to cover several acres and clear away the
same. My second choice is cornstalks.
If the stalks are very long should put
lengthwise to save material. If light, fine
stocks should spread with a fork.
think light covering of corn fodder alone
is quite sufficient, as all that is required is
to shade the ground and to have some
thing to hold the snow from blowing off.

STILL REFUSE.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 15.-There is
a decided hitch in the proceedings
started by President Roosevelt toward
the settlement of the coal strike and
now the miners are averse to accept
ing the proposition made by President
Roosevelt and accepted by the opera
tors that commission be appointed
to have full power. The miners claim
that the President is unduly limited
in the makeup of the board of arbi-
tration
President Mitchell declines to say
how he looks at President Roosevelt's
proposition personally.
He issued a statement expressing
his appreciation of the anxiety of the
country for the end of the strike. The
coal operators had not addressed the
Miners Union. He could not, there
fore, state the attitude of the miners
He expressed his solicitude for a set

statement.

Senator Sutton evidently represents

HARVESTING APPLES.

The great question with farmers
through this section who have large
apple orchards is to get them picked

plan to carry one end of a long cloth
sack, say six to eight inches in diam

ing on frame near the ground lit
tie way off, with a bend in the long
sack so as to prevent fruit from drop
ping on the ground, and dropping the
fruit as fast as picked into the upper
end, and thus save so much running
up and down the ladder. Cannot some
inventive person take hint from this,
so as to save labor?-Tribu Farmer

that was the cause of the fainting
spells 1t was impossible for me to
take any solid food and there were
days and days when not even u spoon
full of liquid would stay on my stom-
ach.
