BIG MOB AT BARBER PLANT STONE WORKERS

In some instances they seemed sue

their native languages and the strik-

workers left them to begin their
duties. From this 1t was cleaned

make demands and II refused they

other shift. The outcome Is await
ed with some anxiety on the part of
employers and the police.
Things were generally quiet about
the Barber plant later in the day.
Strikers were on picket duty about
the main entrance, but remained
quiet, only stopping and talking to
al occasional visitor to the works.
The laborers striking were wild
eyed and excited yesterday after
noon and none could intelligently
state what they were striking for.
A concensus of declarations indi-
Gated hat the men were getting sew
enteen and a half cents an hour for
a ten hour day and wanted twenty
cents an hour for a nine hour day.
Some insisted they were only getting
sixteen cents an hour and wanted
twenty-five, others gave figures that
differed. Indications are that they
want twenty cents an hour for a
nine hour day and pay at the rate
of time and a half for all over time,
including for work after hours
nights and on Sundays and legal
holidays. F~orty-flve Of the strikers

not SO susceptible to disease as a

ing in garden will step over hills
of potatoes or other vegetables with
as much care as the gardener would
ask. l never saw a horse that would
try to avoid stepping on hill, and
in some instances they seem to make
point of trampling down everything
in reach of their big feet."-L. w. c.,
Tennessee.
"Our experience with mules leads
us to believe they are harder than
horses; they are seldom sick, their
shoulders hardly ever become sore and
they are more easily taught what is
expected of them. We have never yet
known of a mule being injured in any
respect from overlooking. They
know when to quit eating. For steady
work and hard knocks we prefer the
mule every time. The farmers of the
west are beginning to appreciate them
at their true value, as the number OF
mule teams now in use. compared to
what there. was few years ago, fully
attests.'-H. C. S., Kansas.

GIVE CHICKENS
BEST OF CARE
Birds of All Ages Should Be Ex-
amined During the Hot
Months for Little
Mites and Lice.
By NJ. B. BERNARDO

All the old birds. and young, too,
hould be examined frequently during
the hot months because then it is
that the lice and mites thrive.
If cut bone or chopped meat is fed
during the summer extra precautions
must be taken to have it perfectly
fresh.
Many birds die from eating bone
and meat scraps which have been al
lowed to lie around exposed to the
heat and the flies.
In feeding chickens. always remem-
Der that they are provided for to pro-
duce fresh eggs for human feed and
therefore their own feed should be
just as pure as that we eat ourselves.
The hot sun will cause young Cos
lings and ducklings as well to topple
over and die. Provide shade for them
until they are strong on their pegs.

REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In oIden Days, Among Other Accom-
lishments, Woman Was Required
to Be Expert Carver.

In the matter of old time etiquette
at the table one recalls the part
played by the lady of the household.
In the eighteenth century she was mis-
tress of the ceremonies-she carved
and she dealt the while her lord mere
ly pushed" the bottle.
She was also the menu. for II she
gave a dinner of several courses 1t
was her duty to announce to the
guests. seated expectantly, what was
due to appear at table. A dinner Of
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers of gentle persua-
sion came into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles of his knife and fork into his
plate, and the sight of knife in posi-
ton was the signal for the hostess to
inquire 'if he would please to have
something more"
In the art of carving. of course.
the mistress of any country house
was past mistress. One recalls Lady
Mary Montagu's flight after perfec-
tion under the wing of professional
carving master: "She took three les
sons a week, that she might be perfect
on her fathers public days; when. in
order to perform her functions with
out interruptions. she was forced to
eat her own dinner alone an hour or
so beforehand"

The following letters have been re-
ceived from farmers located in various
sections of the country on the merits
and dement's of the mule and the
horse.
Il have had thirty years experience
in working horses and mules on a to-
bacco, wheat and corn farm, and 1
prefer the mules. Their feet are
smaller and they injure very little of
the tobacco and corn; they are less
liable to disease, less fastidious in ap-
petite, will endure greater bardships.
are longer-lived, and worry the plow-
man less, as they are more steady.
Not one horse is used for farm work
to ten mules. in this section of the
country."-W. f. E., Kentucky.
"On large farms where there is
steady work and lots of it, I have
found the mules the most profitable.
They can do a certain amount of work
at less expense for feed. are tougher,
and, in proportion to weight, stronger
than horses. While they stand neglect
and ill-treatment better than horses.
they appreciate kindness just as well.
Mules are ready for work six days of
the week and fifty-two weeks in the
year. and are all the better for It.
There is prejudice against mules

Care of Stations.

A stallion shut up in a dark stall
without the companionship of other
horses often becomes moody and saw
age. Some English stallioners ride a
pony while leading their horses for
exercise, and the horses become so at
tached to the ponies that they become
fretful and uneasy when they are not
near. At night the ponies are given a
stall next to the horses. OF course,
some horses are toe savage in nature
to permit their being led in company
of pony, but if broken to this treat

handled in this way.
