SOFT COAL STRIKE
NOW SEEMS CERTAIN
Pittsburg Operators Vote for
Lockout If Miners Refuse
To Accept the Cut.
GOING TO INDIANAPOLIS.
WILL THERE LAY THE SITUATION
WHICH CONFRONTS OPERAT-
oRs, BEFORE THE MINERS, SAY
CUT is NECESSARY.

PittSburg, Jan. 31-One OF the worst
coal strikes in the history of bitumi-
nous mining is threatened. The lead
ing operators of the Pittsburg district
decided that the miners must accept
a reduction of 10 cents a ton or every
mine in the Pittsburg district, which
produces 55,000,000 tons annually, will
be closed Immediately.
a committee of operators left for
the convention of miners at Indianap-
oils and the proposition will be pre-
sented
The operators say it is absolutely
necessary to reduce the cost of pro
duction if profit is to be made. The
miners are receiving 80 cents per ton,
the highest price ever paid, fixed two
years ago when the country was most
prosperous. This means $3.50 to 81 a
day for the miners. Within the past
few months, the operators say, the de-
mand for coal has decreased. while
prices have been reduced so that they
are not making over five cents a ton.
1t is alleged that one reason for
John Mitchells' retirement from the
head of the miners union is that he
does not wish to personally be in
charge during the lockout which APP
pears inevitable. It is scarcely posi-
bic the miners will continue at work
under a reduction. There are 10 900
in the Pittsburg district alone.

Pittsburg district dictated the action

Washington, Jan. ;j1.--The CONNER

of the country will next week begin to
lombard congress in favor of legisla-
ton creating a tariff commission. A
committee representing nearly all the
large organizations of this description
in the country will assemble here Feb

Roosevelt. Speaker Cannon and a
large number of Influential senators
and representatives for the purpose of
asking favorable action on L tariff

While the committee that has been
appointed is not welded to any par

the thing it is after is to get action at
this session of congress.
congressman Surprised.
Many of the members of congress
have been surprised at the widespread
sentiment in favor of the creation of a
tariff commission Likewise they
have been surprised at the determina-
ton the large commercial and manu-
featuring associations are showing in
the demand that congress pass immedi-
ately bill creating a commission. Ev-
cry republican member of congress is
receiving letters from constituents IA
voring the proposed legislation. The
American Reciprocal Tariff league,
with headquarters in Chicago. seems
to be eXerting a powerful influence in
favor of the creation of a commission.
Through its exertiOns most of the ag-
ricultural papers from Pittsburg to
Denver are calling on their readers to
write TO members of congress on this
subject. 1t has also brought the mat
ter before various winter meetings of
farmers and stockmen throughout the
country. and the pressure from this
source is being felt in the form of res
olutionS which are being forwarded to
congressman.

Use only good salt In the sailing OF

in selecting salt for butter-making, as
salt absorbs odors and will then carry
them to the butter. Numerous cases
have come to light In which tainted
salt caused taints in butter.
In one grocery the salt was by the
side Of the kerosene barrel. That sail

temperature even in severe weather.
This barn is far too expensive to be
duplicated under average farm condi-
tions. and is designated to test the
possibilities of high-grade milk pro.
duction, and is not presented as
model for farm diaries.
The milk house is separated from
the stable by an ante-room thorough
" ventilated, through which the milk
ers pass in taking milk from the
stable to the milk room. Through this
ante-room they pass into straining
room, where the milk is poured into
a tank and runs through a strsiner
and small opening in the wall into
the separator room adjoining.
There is no direct connection be
tween this receiving room and the
separator. so that the latter'is not ex-
posed to the dirt Of the stable. A re-
frigerator is attached, into which bot
tied milk can be placed as soon as
prepared and kept at low tempera-
ture until delivered.
A butter-making room is also pro-
vlded, equipped with all modern ma
chinery, but the principal object of
the building is the preparation of pure,
whole milk.
There are three points about this
dairy that are worthy Of note by prac-
tical farmers: First, that the milk
house be separate from the stable;
second, that the mixers do not enter
the separating room, and. third. pro
vision should be made for cooling the
milk Immediately after it is strained
and bottled.

POINTS TO REMEMBER.
The Cans for the Creamery MIX Must
BE Clean.

The can must be sweet and clean in
order to keep the milk sweet. That
same mi.k can must be emptied out as
II comes from the factory at noon, SO
you can have 1t ready for the evening
milk Don't let it stand out by the
road until you are ready to milk. 1
have seen good many places where
the patron will empty the can and
clean same out with cold water il they
have no warm water handy. It is no
wonder some patrons get the milk
back the next day because the can had
no chance to air out and was not ilt TO
use for milk
Empty your cans out as soon as you
get them back; rinse them with cold
water then boiling hot water. Use a
brush to wGsh them: never take a rag
and think that will do the work. It
will not; a brush viii find every hol-
low place In the can and do the work
better than anything else you can get
Then after the can is washed, lay it
down in q place where the fresh air

three hours Then you will have a can
that is ready and fit to receive the
milk.
That IS the most trouble In the sum.
mer season. The cans are not prop
erly cared for. And that is the reason
the creamery man always gets more
or less sour milk. so be sure and take
care of your milk cans.
After the milk is placed in the can
do not do like some farmers do-let it
stay In the barn over night--for it will
absorb all the stable air. and when
the milk comes to the creamery and
you take the cover off the can the
creamery man thinks he is close TO a

Many Theories as to What are the
Best Methods.

There are as many theories as 10
the breeding Of dairy cattle as there
are different breeds Of cattle Where
one succeeds another fails and results
are often found to be contradi tory
No problem in the live stock INDUSTRY

best should be supplied, and tbs sup

Mr. l.. P. Bailey. president OF the
Ohio state board Of agriculture, says
in speaking Of improving the dairy
herd
My experience teaches me there
are two ways by which a breeder can
improve his herd, First, be must have
in mind his individual ideal type,
which he should always aim to attain;
this can only be done by selection and
proper mating Of both sire and dam.
aln selectingsa a sire for my herd insist
on seeing personally the DAM She
must be Of dairy form, according to
my own idea--teats above medium
size, udder running well forward and
straight down be. ind, extending out
past the curve in ham or legs. The
above conformation is Of greater value
to me than any great phenomenal milk
test she may or may not have made;
also insist on seeing the ancestors as
far back as possible and knowing to
a certainty, as near as possible, that
they are meritoFious animals. | be-
lieve there Is no rule IN breeding bet
establishedt than that lille produces
like, yet we all know that even with
the best OF mating we sometimes get
inferior animals. This Is mostly caused
by some inferior ancestor, perhaps
several generations back.
Never allow the calf to get fat in
the sense that the beef breeder would
desire. Keep 1t in good thrifty, grow
ing condition. teach Il to eat a maxi
mum amount Of rOughness, such as
clover hay and silage, and minimum
amount Of grain Continue this meth

the birth of the calf prefer the
heifer being about 80 months old be-
fore coming into milk. With proper
kind Of feed, care and regularity In
the rearing Of dairy cattle, there will
be overcome vast amount of ignor
ance in breeding. and the owners will
receive profitable returns whether
they understand the laws of mating
and reproduction or not"

That milk is a very economical food
is demonstrated by the comparison OF
the food values Of milk and beef. A
quart Of milk at eight cents Is equiva-
lent In food value to a pound Of beef
at Is cents. This means that four
cents worth Of milk furnishes a
much food energy in the body as nine
cents worth or beet.
