Settlement of Anthracite Strike
Causes Favorable Turn
Among Brokers,
By THOMAS c. sH0TwELL.

New York. April s5-optimism vas
rampant in Wall street to-day. The
weather news was good and the crop
prospects were frightened in all parts
OF the country Announcement was
made that terms Of settlement had been
agreed upon between the anthracite op-
orators and the miners that would give
the men an advance OF 10 per cent in
wages and four years contract The
stock market celebrated with about a
dozen new high Kecords. and these rec
ords were m such issues as left no
doubt as to the stability Of the banking
interests behind them.
Among the stocks making these rec
ords were New York Central Lehigh
valley. and Reading. which sold higher
than for several years; Beet Sugar.
American Can, and United States Rub
Der, which established absolutely new
high prices; Mexican Petroleum, Peo-
PIES Gas. and wabash bonds.
Perhaps the most excitement was
caused by the advance In Peoples Gas

nation Of this move was given In this
column several days ago In state
ment that the report to be made pub

OF above 70 per cent. The company is
producing 1000 automobile tires a day

profit of s. each. or 5000 a day. Thus.
the company has an assured income OF

that it had last year. Its general busi-
ness also is good.
Beet Sugar made high record on pre-

CURING CLOVER.
Methods Favored By Experts Of tho
Maine Agricultural Station.

The practice Of the Maine agricul-
tural experiment station in curing
clover is to nov it when there is Il
prospect Of dry weather for Il couple
of days and when it is free from water
or dew ana let it lie as cut that day.
or. if it is wiltcd somewhat on the sur
face. turn it by hand 81, tedder Just be-
fore night.
IF not turned the first afternoon it
is turned or tcddered the second day
and again toward noon.
In the afternoon Of the second day
it is put into cocks about five feet
high. Ordinarily it is wilted at this
time. but if the weather has turned
dark or the clover is very heavy pOr-
tons of it are liable to be unwilted.
in which case the cocks are made
smaller.
The cocks are made by using small
fOrkfuls flat1ened out 50 that it will
come off in layers when handled again.
as 1t cures it settles. and unless the
cocks are high in proportion to the"
width they will flattcn out. which Is
wrong The walls are kept perpen-
dicular three fu,Irths Of the way up
and then gradually drawn in. Much
time need not be consumed in making
the punches. rs it is quickly done.
One condition is imperative 1t the
clover must go into the cock free from
rain or dew. 1t can be safely cooked
when continuing lots Of water from its
w juices. but not when ever q little
moist from water.
Allow it to stand in cocks three or
four days OF longer before disturbing
it. On q day in which the air is dry
open up the punches 50 that the air
can draw through them. and usually
after about two hours exposure the
hay is ready to draw to the barn. 1t
is not necessary to tear it apart and
wear it ont, as il readily parts with its
W moisture. which is chiefly near the
center and the bottom Of the lunches.
If rain falls while the clover is III
the bunch it does not wet it deeply
after the lunches have been made fol
Il few hours. When rain comes let the
punches alone and the water dries Out
of itself when sound weather come:
again. Green oats and peas may al>t
be cured in the same way.

What the Horse Needs.

Many horse feeders regard oats as al
most necessary, and it is doubtless true
that in large regions of the United
States the most common ration for
horses consists of oats and hay. with
an orcaSionn! bran mash. \ numbcr
of the experiment stations have report
cl tests to the department Of nyricul-
ture which support the theory that
hcrSeS may be satisfactorily fed any
reasonable combination of wholesome
materials which supplies the required
nutriments in due proportion. In other
words. protein and energy are required
by the animal body rather than n
Special feed.

TENNIS PROPER THE OLDEST BALL GAME.


it was certainly unknown in the time
of King Arthur.
The name of tennis is suggested to
have sprung from the exclamation
'TeneZ." which was used by early
French players when serving the ball.
In France the game is called jeu de
paume. 1t would seem from this that
originally the bali was struck with the
palm of the had only, as in the game
of tives. Afterward the players wore
a glove, as they do still in the BASQUE
country. Strings and cross strings
We're next stretched upon the glove to
give a greater impulse to the ball, and
from this to the addition Of a short
handle was an casy transition.
The game was much improved by
the building Of clossd In tennis courts.

states that when alfalfa hay has been
