WINNIPEG STREET
 GAR STRIKE GRAVE
SOLDIERS WITH FIXED BAYoNETs ARE REQUIRED TO DlsPERsE THE RIOTERS DETERMINED ON STOPPING ALL TRAFFIC.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, March s0.-The street car strike situation is rapidly ac- qulring grave proportions A mob assumed such threatening attitude that regulars were called out late today, and de- taehment of royal Canadian mounted rifles assumed control of Main street The regulars lined up at the corner of Hig- gins and Main streets with fixed bayo- nets This did not awe the crowd which attacked a street car and attempted to pull off the crew. Mayor Sharp then read the riot act. and was greeted with hoots and jeers. The soldiers loaded their guns with ball cartridges and the mob failing to disperse charge with fixed bayonets was ordered. This had the nec- essary effect in keeping back the crowd of wildly excited men. The few cars that were operated today were taken off at o'clock( and this no doubt prevented riots. Attacks on the residences of di- reetors were threatened.
 Only six cars were run today, and they carried more policemen and detec- tives than regulars.
 The feature of today's disturbances was the arrest of two detectives for assault. One of them attacked Mayor Sharpe and City Solicitor Hunt, not knowing who they were.
 When the cars stopped running tonight, the mob queted down somewhat and the militia was called off the streets.

Close Down In Indian Territory.

South McAllister, I. T., March 3O.-Un- less the unexpected happens all of the Indian Territory coal mines will be shut down tomorrow night. There are 1O9 mines operated in the territory, working about 5000 miners, a. majority of whom are union men. The Indian Territory miners are not in sympathy with the strike. as they are receiving good pay for labor performed
 It is estimated that the railroads have three months supply of coal stored, which will keep the trains running. A majority of the industrial establishments will be supplied with coal by the rail- roads so asf to prevent complete shut down of that line.

ing in western Pennsylvania. I believe that can be best done by singing the scale where it is offered. I know it will be a guerilla warfare, but I believe 1t is the best thing to do I realize this will not be popular In Illinois. but we can take care of ourselves, and you miners of Illinois will not be put in a position where you will have to arbtrate anything. ] don't believe in arbitrating anything unless Iknow 1 am going to win. My advice to YOU miners of Illinois is to adopt the resolution and let us go home and fight 1t out I will say Illinois will not cost the national organization one cent. (Applause).
 Delegate Savage opposed the division of the miners forces that would follow the adoption of the resolutions
 ''I believe with Patrick Henry,' said he. If we don't hang together we will hang separately" He said he wanted to see every mfrr drop his pick Saturday night and not take 1t mp, again until every miner in the country had secured his rights.
 Wellington O'Conpor of the Indiana miners said he did not want any com cission coming to Indiana to find every mine idle He wanted commission to find a part of the miners working.
 Could Not Secure Sympathy.
 Mir Perry of Illinois said the miners would have 6 poor argument and could not secure 'the sympathy of the coun- try if they did not allow the men to work where their demands were met. Tha alternative to the resolution was an order for a general suspension and any miner refusing to obey hat order must he eN- pelled from the organization. An advance would be posted Ut non-union mines In case of strike and tue union miners would suffer
 Delegate Lackey of Indiana opposed the resolution. Delegate Walker favored 1t.
 u was stated by delegate that it was well known that the strike in Alabama which had cost the organization half million dollars had been lost.
 A delegate moved the previous question which was called for by a number of voices. President Mitchell ruled the mo ton out of order
 President Mitchell then took the floor He said it had been stated his attitude had not been made known to the miners.

Would Jeopardlze Organization.

The resolution, Mir. Lewis said. meant the miners would give up their solid organization which had been perfected at the expense of so much time, energy and money. And all, said he, because a few operators offered to pay the advanced scale. If Pennsylvania operators are not required to- sign the scale at union and non-union mines. as well, the miners in future settlements will be seriously hand icapped. and miners will give up the principle of unionism as a protection of the rights. When the resolution was adopted. he believed. the miners were working not for Ohio, Illinois. Indiana and western Pennsylvania but for every mining district in the United States. n- cluding the anthracite regions. (Ap- plause) He believed the arguments had been so placed before the people that the responsibility for a disagreement had been placed upon the operators.

FINDING OUT WHAT PAYS.

1t is not only important for a farmer
TO know whether, upon the whole, he
is losing or gaining, but it is, IL any
thing. more important for him to
know at what point he is losing or
gaining, that he may cut off those
things which do not pay, and stress
those which pay best. Is he a cotton
raiser? II so, does 1t pay Kim to raise
cotton in the way he has been doing
it? Does it pay him to use fertilizers
on cotton? Does the rotation of crops
he now follows pay best? Does 1t pay
better to raise or buy stock, to raise
hogs or buy bacon, to keep ten head
of cattle or half that number? Would
some other money crop pay better on
his farm than cotton? These and doz-
ems of other like questions he may ask
himself, and study to very great ad-
vantage. Some of these he may an
swer pretty satisfactorily from his in
dividual experiments only. Don't con-
clude that since the government has
established experiment stations there is
no need of farmers making expert
ments. The stations make experiments
to establish general principles; the
farmer should experiment to ascertain
how best to apply those principles to
his individual farm. Every farm. has
something peculiar to itself WHICH calls
for special treatment. But experiments
teach little unless full, systematic rec
ord is kept. Experience loses much of
its value in the absence of records. One
cannot trust to his memory alone; last
impressions always overshadow and
dominate those that are older-South-

GOOD EARNING.

What is good farming? Does 1t con-
sist in making money?
What may be termed good farming
does not necessarily consist in boarding
money derived from the farm.
BY, good farming we would UNDER
stand a large. full life for every MEM
Der of the farmers family.
Financial success ought to be sought,
but it should not be the sole object in
view. Money is Of value only in so far
as it aids us in securing those accessor-
Of the intrinsic self.
Good farming in our Judgment means
the maintenance OF the fertility of the
soil, the breeding of good stock, The
growing of maximum crops, the educa-
tion of the children, the abandonment
of shaving for the women folk, pleas
ure trips occasionally for the family,
and the reading of good literature.
1t also should include the keeping of
the premises in respectable condition
and Il healthy interest OIL the part of
the farmer in the public affairs of the
township, county, state and nation.
Good farming is not theoretical or
fancy farming. 1t must pay; that is es-
/ sential, but 1t must not make slave
| of any member of the family.
! One trouble with American farming
is that many OF us are farming more
land than we can farm we'll
For example. there are too many 100
| acre farmers working 300 acres.

How to Cook Asparagus.
Era11a fl1a NaW York PracS

Asparagus is the king of the vcge-
table world, and it is not unlikely that
the exalted rank of his maj sty ac-
counts for the tinlidity with which the
cooks handle it. The ordinary method
of preparing bunch for the table is
to lay it on its side in a pot of water
and boil it. Most folk cut the binders
and allow the stalks to float around in
the vessel like derelct logs in Maine
'freshet. When served the tips are as
mush, while the stalks are too hard
tor mastication. This is criminal negli-
gence. Worse--it is criminal ignorance.
1t takes five years TO get an asparagus
bed started. and as the roots are glut-
food. assiduous care and constant at
tention, a meal of it is entitled to our
highest respect.
Buy an agate ware or poreclained pot
six inches in diameter and nine inches
high. Place the pound bunch of grass
therein, on end, first having trimmed
the bottom even and square. If the
bunch is seven inches high pour in wa
ter until only two inches of the tips
remain above the surface. That is,
give it five inches Of water. Then let
her boil and boil and boil until The
stalks are perfectly tender. Pierce them
with a fork to find out. The tips sill
in the meantime be cooked by the
steam. and will be firm yet tender when
served. Then you will have a delicious
asparagus, each stalk and tip morsel
fit for gods and goddesses. The stalk
is quite as tasty as the tip; yet by the
old method of cooking most of the for
mer is too hard for mastication by any,
thing less powerful than rock crusher.
