cold west wind has drifted the snow 1.-THE
heaviest fall of the season. very deep in some
places making it difficult to haul any load
over inc roads. The snow has put an effective
STOP 70 the blowing, which was in full swing
among the farmers of this district.
ne roads around Long Green are at pres
Gu. IN deplorable condition, owing to the
recent wet weather, and also to the heavy
ntaauiage which passes over them almost daily
We mink something ought to be done to re-
stIlct teamsters, who do not pay taxes, from
using the county roads while they are so soft,
as tne roads are nearly impossible now to any
tnlng but light vehicles. One farmer, whose
team mas been in the habit of hauling between
tnree and four tons at a load, was forced to
make three trips to the station in order to
transport five tons of feed to his home, as the
nil between Smiths corner and Knoebel's, up
wnicn be has to travel, is in a worse state than
II mas been for some years. We think the
FARMERS interested should combine in an effort

sioners the bad state of the roads in general
the piece mentioned being but one of many
sucn-and try to have something done to pro-
tect the roads from being cut up by teamsters
who contribute absolutely nothing towards
their maintenance. The taxes that have been
pald by two farmers adjoining the piece of
road mentioned would more than pay for all
the work done on it, and it does not put them
10 the best of humor to see outsiders running
the roads over which they have to haul their
produce, &c.

A report is current in this neighborhood that

LastSaturday being st. Valentines day,
number of valentines were received by the
people ofthis district. One young fellow who
received one representing two-faced man is
wondering whether the sender meant to imply

Employees Make Some Trouble for Big
Dairy Concern.-After the discharge of one
of their number about fifteen drivers employ
ed by the Filston Farm Dairy Company, North
Calvert street, Baltimore, went out on strike
on Tuesday morning. A number of bottle
washers and other employees also quit work
in sympathy with the others.
According to the statements of several of
the drivers the strike was caused by the new
manager, Mr.. Swartwout, engaging men at
lower wages for the purpose of taking their
places. Tuesday morning several extra men
were hired by the manager and as many of the
regular drivers were instructed to show the
was thus instructed be refused to comply and
was discharged. AS soon as the other drivers
learned of the discharge of their comrade they
quit also and left their wagons.
As the result of the strike many patrons of
the company were compelled to purchase milk
elsewhere or go without it for their breakfasts.
Another charge made by the strikers was that
the manager of the company desired to cut
down their wages So per week in order to en-
gage additional men. All these charges were
firmly denied by the manager
When seen Manager Swartwout said 1.-THE
tropble was caused by the discharge of wagon
driver for refusing to permit green man in
tended for substitute to go over the route
with him. 1t is necessary to have more SUBJ
sttutes in this sort of weather, because of sick
ness among the regular men.
"There was evidently some organization
among the men to control as far as possible
their end of the business. They thought that

who sympathized with the recalctrant driver
were also discharged"
