Miners Discuss Wages.

Pittsburg, July lathe day was ia
ken up by the joint convention of min
ers and operators of the southwestern
coal mining district in reading the
wage scales submitted by each. The
demands made by the miners is an adj
vance of 1-3 per cent in wages and a
still larger increase in some places
where the coal is deep. The operators
demand a reduction all along the line
of $50 per cent to correspond with the
reduction in the eastern competitive
districts. There is no talk of a strike.

Chamberiain's Cough Remedy

No one who is acquainted with it's good qualities can he surprised at the great popularity of ChamberIaih's Cough Remedy. It not only cures colds and grip effrctnal'y and permanently, but prevents these diseases from resulting in pneumonia It is also certain cure for croup. Whooping cough Is not dan gerous when this remedy is given. It contains no opium or other harmful substances and may be given as conf dently to a baby as to an adult. It is also pleasant to take. When all of these facts are taken into consideration it IS not surprising that people, in foreign lands, as we'll as at home, esteem this remedy very highly and very few are willing to take any other after having once Led it.

 Truue. Preble, street committee, stated that gaier had been shut of from tlte watering trough across the street from tbe PREss office on mperial avenue, aud he WAS requested to confer with th. management of the Water Company to ascertnn if ii could be rcatored.

 Civil Engineer Vickr-y reported on his recent york in establishing a grade. On Imperial avenue from Dr. Elmcn- doris north beyond Mir. Mugford's new store building, about 3, 300 feet, n fall of two feet was noted. On Eighth street. from |. O. Longs corner to the railroad about 2, 600 feet, N fall of one foot was disccrned.
 He recommended that the sidewalks have an elevation of ten inches next to the building. with two or three inch slope to the curb, also that the Board estsblish . uniform width, and have bench marks placed for future refer encs.
 To provide for permanent buildings with lower elevations than ten inches, the side walk can be made to conform to those buildings without perceptible effect.
 Chas. 4. Gardner suggested that the curb next the street crossings be approached by slope. with s pipe un- derneath to carry the water, instead of the abrupt curb now generally passing out of use in other cities. Some dis cussion ensued as to the probable effect . heavy rain would have on the streets.
 It was decided that the Chamber of Commerce and the new Improvement Society Ire asked to cooperate in plac- ing the streets in better condition.

Profit In
Light Steers

Louis Pfaelzer, one of the pioneers
of the Chicago live stock trade, was re-
Gently interviewed by Breeders Ca
zette as to the most profitable steer
for producer and butcher. In the course
of his remarks he said:
GAS long as feeders insist on furnish
ing cattle that are light in ribs and
loins and carry big rounds, chucks and
plates, SO long will they ignore their
opportunities.
by what means can such reforma-
ton be accomplishedT Mr.. Pfaelzer
was asked.
Simply by the use of good bulls. If
had farm and was engaged in beef
production I would throw economy to
the winds in buying bull. And every
farmer-I mean the men who feed only
a few-ought to breed his own stuff.
This the owner Of the big feed lot may
find impracticable, but by making pro-
vision for raising fifty calves or SO
each year the small operator will score
maximum profits. do not care which

growth. Darkness and foul air breed
all imaginable diseases and troubles.
Allow the cattle to run loose in the
roomy basement, well bedded with dry
litter. Dry straw fattens calves when
they lie on it and sleep. Give them all

it Give pure, fresh water regularly,
all they want. And how long shall we

Raising Pigs without Milk.

It Is generally believed by the small
pig raiser, who keeps from three to
six brood sows, that it Is quite neces-
sary to have at least one COW giving
milk for each litter of pigs, says II. S.
Baker in National Stockman. While
all will agree that cows milk is a val
liable addition In the pig ration, still
it is possible to raise pigs very sue
cessfully without bit Of 1t. The Sc
cret Of it is in feeding and selecting
the brood SOW until type is produced
with large milking propensities. And
this condition can be attained just as
completely in the brood SOW as it has
been done in the milk COW.
