Hardy Strains of Plants.
We have not yet fully awakened to
the advantage of growing hardy strains
of plants in contradistinction to the
usual varieties. One of the means of
getting hardy varieties seems to be
the use of seed produced in the local
ity in which it IS desired to grow the
hardy plant. In the matter Of clover
grown in Minnesota il has been found
that in good many cases the seed
brought in from the south produced
plants that in turn produced the usual
number of seeds, but that the seed Of
such plants was so poorly filled as to
be worthless, while the plants from
seed produced in the same locality
gave seeds that were all plump and
full of vitality. This is not always the
case, yet if it is so part of the time
it serves to act as a signboard to
point in the true direction for develop
ing hardy plants.

A Good Poultry-HOuse.

By far too many poultry houses are
built high and wide The high house
must be more warmly constructed than
the low house, while the wide house
gives far too much floor room, and es-
pecialIy if the scratching shed Is In
use. By the proper arrangement of
nests under roosts, protected by drop
ping boards. space is economical great
ly and, most important of all, it is pos
sible to get much more sunlight into a
narrow house than in a wide one,. and
to put it where it Will do the most good,
on the floor. The profitable poultry
house is also the one where provision
is made for good ventilation, without
draughts, where the sun will strike
in and cover the dust boxes, where the
nests are in the dark and where the
roosts are in the warm corner and ar
ranged so that they may be curtained
if further protection is needed in very
cold weather. The walls back of the
roosts should be covered with tarred
paper, so there will be- no draught
from that side.

VaIue of Skim MiIlS.

The feeding value of skim. milk to
calves or pigs depends much on what
the animals are to be used for. If one
is raising fine bred pig or calf the
skim milk has Il greater value than lie
the animal is to go to the block. Fur
Their, some skim milk is of such little
value that it ought not to be fed at
ALL Indeed, it may be fairly said that
if the skim milk is not fresh and
sweet its main value is that of just
so much mixing fluid
1t seems to those who have expert
mented with the feeding Of skim milk
that it has it's greatest value when
given to poultry; beyond a question
it lis, one of the greatest egg producers
that can be fed either by itself or
mixed with bran and other meals
forming a mash Unless one has pigs
or calves that it is desired to raise to
add to the herd it is advised that the
bulk of the skim milk that is fresh and
sweet go to the poultry at least give
them all they will consume. By care
full watch it will be seen that such
feeding Is an economy, even though
it did not largely increase the egg pro-
duction, which it does.

BIG STRIKE SEEMS NEAR
Anthracite Operators Reject Ever
One of Miners Demands

Anthracite Operators Reject Every
One of Miners Demands
The anthracite mine owners have re-
FUSED every one of the demands recent
ly submitted by the United Mine Work
ers Of America. While there is still a
chance for further negotiation. the lead
ers on both sides agree that every indi-
cation points to the greatest labor
struggle in the fNory of the coal in
dustry.
The miners demands on the opera
tors include higher wages, shorter
hours, union recognition. and various
changes in the system for the adjust
ment Of grievances, established by the
anthracite strike commission three
years ago. The men also propose that
the new agreement run for but one in
stead of three years. These demands
were based on resolution adopted at the
mine workers convention at Shamokin.
when a committee consisting of Presi-
dent Mitchell. the three district presi-
dents and secretaries, and Twenty-Five
other union officials was named to ne
gotiate new agreement with the
operators.
In their rejection of the unions de
mands the operators hint that since the
United Mine Workers of America is an
organization controlled by bituminous
miners, its policy is to force a strike
for the benefit of the bituminous indus
try. Following their rejection of the
miners demands, the operators submit
what they call counter proposition.
providing that the anthracite commits
sion's awards, the principles upon
which they were established, and the
methods created for carrying them out
be continued for three years more. This
proposition, of course, opens the way
for further negotiation. If the miners
refuse to moderate their demands there
will be nothing left for them but to
strike.

More tanning mills are worn out by
hauling over the country in farm
wagons over rough roads than are worn
out in actual use. Many are permitted
to fall into disuse by neglecting the
sieves which rust out easily. The best

expressly for them where they can be
kept dry and they should be given an
oil preparation occasionally. 1t is bet

in the second and another that started
the trouble in the 10th.
The psychological moment to have
won yesterdays game was in the
ninth after Cook had tied the score on
a fluke. With Peoria unnerved for the
moment timely swat or two would
have done the business. A change in
the batting list supplanting Zalusky
and Kostal, who weakly famed out,
might have done some good at this
jun cture.
The participation of Big Ed"
Hughes, the outlaw, in yesterdays
game to the extent of coaching and
running for Buelow, is ground for
protest. Should he be called into the
box President Sexton as one of the
trainers of the rules governing such

could not consistently overlook the
breach, fore from all that is known
here Hughes has not been reinstated.
