Handy Salt BOX.

This handy salt box can be put up

salt at will. The salt will be out o.
the weather, and there will be no troll
he OF sailing the cattle every few days.
The box should be made IS inches wide,
"a inches long, IL inches deep In front

lid will have enough fall to shut itself
when released. The Id should extend
four inches over the box for cow to

To Combat Cabbage Maaxo,..

For cabbage maggot use lime or wood
ashes, or both mixed. sprinkling them
over the soil and plants. But Il new
remedy used last year was made from
a very strong soapsuds, to which was
added one pint Of crude carholie acid
to gallon Of the boiling suds, and
the mixture made into an emulsion b.
shaking It together In a tightly covered
pail. Take this emulsion and add to
thirty times Its bulk of water, and use
freely around the plants. or course
this remedy would not be practical OH
a very large area. but for those who
raise only few eabbages 1t seems to
be the best plan there Is. The large
growers do not bother much with rene
dies, but rely on using fresh ground
about every year to prevent attack by
such pests

IRON Trade Employers Say Police
Are Indif erent.

The strike committee of the Allied Iron Trades
Association, against which the Housesmiths and
Brtdgemens Union has ordered a general strike
for s. a day, became busy last week on account of
the number of assaults and attempts to destroy
property said to be due to the Housesmiths and
Bridgemens Union. which have occurred since the
strike Post & McCord's contracts went into
effect. If the assaults IN the new strike are car
ried in the strike against Post & McCord, the
employers say, it Is high time that the most ample
police protection should be afforded. A detailed
list of twentyoRe assaults and attempts to wreck
property since the strike against against Post &
McCord first declared was given out by the
Allied Iron Trades yesterday It includes dyna-
mite explosions. Ten men have been arrested, all
of whom the employers say, are known to be
bers of the union International President Ryan
has gone Cleveland to the strikes TO other
cities.
