THE puBL,c,s PART IN THE STRIKE.

In New York City the general exec
utive board Of the union of telegra phi
operators has decided on a strike to be
called on, it is reported, some time
within ten days, or whenever the pres
ident shall order It. Photographers
confidently predict that operators all
over the country will make common
cause and that most Of the men en-
ployed by the Western Union, company
will go out when called on. The worn-
en- operators are reported as being
quite as determined as the men and
ready to make their own fight for equal
pay at the same time that the general
strike is called.
To the average man all this is in
teresting as the beginning ofSa hard
struggle between the men and the
monopoly. 1t is something more than
interesting to the business man who
depends on the telegraph almost as
much as on the mails and the railroads.
3 4 E
He forsees great embarrassment of
his business and possible disaster. The
telegraph has grown to be an integral
part of business and when its serv-
ice ceases or becomes unreliable, bus
mess suffers. No wonder the business
men are loading President Roosevelts
mails and swapping him with tele-
grams urging him to use his influence
to avert the threatened strike. 1t
means the practical cessation of tele-
graph service for the Order of Railway
Telesraphers has served notice that it's
members will not handle commercial
business to the embarrassment of their
striking brethren Of either of the two
big companies.
Pull devil and pull Dick; pull oper-
ator for better pay and greedy corpor-
alton for larger dividends! The public
must stand the stretching When the
tug of war is over it is the public leg
that will be found longer than it
really ought to be-" It is the public
that loses most in every strike. the
public that is little considered by either
party, except as the ultimate source
of revenue. Some day, however, the
public is likely to wake up to the fact
that it is an interested party instead
Of the innocent bystander and take
a hand in its own protection and the
just settlement Of the so-called private
difficulties and disputes that affect
public welfare.

Constipation in Swine.

Every farmer who raises hogs very
extensively knows what it is to have
his animals constipated. The trouble
is easily discernible, as the droppings
are always hard and dry. The trouble
may come as a symptoms of some in
testinal disease, or it may be the
predecessor of diarrhea on account OF
the dry and inf1amed condition Of the
intestines. When hogs are constipat-
ed their droppings are not only dry,
but they may be coated with nu-
cous, which makes it more serious.
Among the prominent symptoms OF
this disease will be noticed strain
ing on the part of the animals thus
affected, and they stand around with
their heads down in a dull and listless
manner, or hunt some quiet place to
lie down. Generally coHcky pains are
manifested and in severe cases an
aversion Of the rectum may occur,
especially If the animals have been fed
pretty freely on dry food. While this
trouble is seldom of a serious nature,
unless it is result Of a complication
of diseases, steps should be taken to
overcome the trouble as soon as it is
noticed Animals that are constipated
should have all dry food taken from,
them and be fed a sloppy diet, with
plenty of pure water to drink. 1t may
even be we'll to force the hogs to
take exercise, and little castor oil
or linseed oil will act as a physic. In
severe cases good results will general
ly follow rectal injection OF warm
soapy water, in addition to the oil
given. If satisfactory results are not
obtained from the first treatment, it
should be repeated until the bowels
move freely.

Haunted.

baltimore SUM-
Serene and gray, like an old home
Deserted on it's hill, where roam
No more the feet that loved it we'll
In days that bloomed with youth S
sweet spell,
An old heart sits beside the way
And dreams the dream of yesterday!
Stormbeaten, weatherstained and worn.
There in the valleys of the morn
Where life unheeding passes by
1t crumbles underneath the sky.
Hush! in the twilight or the noon,
Or the soft shadows of the moon,
Down cts worn stair and DER its sill,
With cadences of song that thrill
The tender chords of dream with tears.
Pass the dim shadows of the years!
Look! in the empty room there goes
A phantom perfume Of the rose,
And thru the hollow hall full sweet,
With dead hopes underneath. its feet,
In this old haunted heart of trust
A fragile footstep stirs the dust,
A shape that passes as a song
Moves where dim, peopled memories
throng.
And, 10, where youths dead blossoms
wait,
The ghost OF Love stands by the gate!

the easier on the power and the better
1t will thresh it. If, therefore, you have
cylinder running at say 1000 or any
given speed, that is thirty inches long,
and the grain is spread thru it, it will
thresh it better and easier than when
the same Quantity is put thru an IL
inch in the same length OF time. IL IS
also easier on the separator Itself. For
threshing, say 400 bushels of ordinary
wheat in a day of ten hours, l would
not think of less than 3O-inch cyl1n-
der. You could thresh 1000 bushels of
wheat with it, but do not crowd 1t. The
rear need not be as large as is usually
the case because if grain is put in
evenly it will separate good any way If
made and run right.

essary, for one or two steady pitchers

chimes are too heavy, and complicated
and take too much power to run them.
It is not necessary to have them of
such large capacity FOR the reduced
work they will have to perform.
In most cases, we deem it advisable
for farmer, or a few farmers. to buy
small machine with a gasoline en-

engine, get one that is as strong. cas-
lily run, and as light as possible. and
don't think it is not paying because
you are not threshing some thousands

the convenience as we'll as the ability
to thresh when you want to, and as
much as you want to. And don't for
get that you have the power to use the
rest of the year for other things. Bet
