Street Car Men
Increase Wages

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Street car men
won a sweeping victory when the ar
bitration board rendered their deci-
sion in the controversy that caused
the strike of June Is. The new rates
are the highest in the world, and
create new standards for street car
employees.
Under the award the men are given
an increase in wages all along the
line. For the first year of a two
year contract all men will receive an
increase of cents an hour up to the
employees who have been in the ser
vice of the company four years; Mer
who have been in the service five
years are given an increase OF
,ents. For the second year OF the
contract all who have been in the
ervice of the company less than aye
ears are given an increase of cents
Those in the fifth year Of service are
given an increase of 5 cents, maxim!
cir wages 36 cents an hour, the
qximmu demanded by the union
Wages of barn employees shall be:
40 per day first year, $40 seG@nt
year, and So third year. Car clean
ers, janitors, and other men working
n nd aroen! tsa.ions S. be paic
80 the first year and 81 40 per day
Hereafter.
Men operating night cars shall re
ceive SO per night for eight hours o.
less. Nig7,t work shall not exeeef
eight hours and nine hours is thf
marimum for Sunday work. Reduc
ton of force shall be made according
to seniority.
In commenting on the award one
local newspaper said: "The men who
stand on the financial side of the line
in traction affairs were shocked al
the big victory won by the men"
Tie arbitration board consisted OF
Mayor Thompson, States Attorney
Hoyne, and Attorney James NJ. shee-
an. The latter represented the com
panies and he refused to sign the re-
port. Mr.. Sheean served as arbitra
tor for the western railroads in the
recent wage dispute with engineers
and firemen. The verdict Of that
board was most unsatisfactory to
these workers.

tive Shetlad Isles, off the coast Of
Scotland. Here he is turned over t,
the children to be their playmate and,
companion, and he well adapts him
self to the role, as his manner is so
gentle and appreciation Of kindness
SO great that the smallest child can
handle and drive. him with perfect
safety. On the isles he was turned
loose on the hills to forage for him
self, hunt his own shelter when the
weather was inclement, and was only
claimed by his master when heavy
loads were to be taken to the mar
kets some miles away.

Ponies Galore
At State Fair

When ponies are mentioped in gen
eral conversation the thoughts of the
average person Immediately turn to
the Shetland, as this breed is more
plentiful in this community, and the
matter passed by with sighting ref
erence to those shaggy little beasts
fit for nothing but children's pets"
This generally accepted idea of the
utility of the pony is erroneous. The
Shetland, WEIGH and other ponies on
their native heath and in the codn-
tries of their origin are the most use
full burden bearing animals that can
be secured. The little fellows are
hardy, require no pampering, and get
along and thrive under conditions
that would kill any ordinary horse
AS for hauling loads. the Shetland
and WEIGH pony will pull, in proper
ton to its size, heavier loads than the
ig-boned, big-muscled Percheron or
Belgian. It has been demonstrated
that ponies have pulled loads that the
average hores fell down on" and
worked for miles and hours without
faltering. For heart, stamina and
gameness. the pony cannot be ercell-
ed. and he is never known to tire at
any labor that he may be put to.
In this country the Shetland re-
ceiyes more care and attention, and
the lines of his life are laid in more
pleasant surroundings than IN his NJ,

NEIGHBORHOoD SHORT COURSES
ANEW FEATURE OF ExTEN-
SION WORK.

The NeiEhborhood Short Course now
being given in various sections by the
Agricultural College, rural and subur-
ban people for instruction along any
particular line in which the neighbor-
hood is especially interested; that Is.
more thorough and extended than 10
possible at o. one-day meeting or visit
The Neighborhood Short Course ID
conducted for four days at any given
place. Sessions may b. held In the
morning and afternoon, or evening, de-
pending upon the desire and conven-
fence of the patrons.
Instruction is given In the following
subjects: Soils, Farm Crops, Orchard
Crops, Truck Crop, Gardening, Dairy
Husbandry, Poultry Husbandry- Plant
Diseases and Injurious Insects. III Id
recommended that not more than two
Of these subjects be discussed at any
one school, 80 that each may be con-
Quoted as thoroughly as possible.
The aim Is to give lectures on the
subject supplemented by practical
demonstrations The most essential
thing for the success or The nelShbOr-
hood short courses is.-that the farm
ers, business men or commercial clubs,
the women, the school teachers and
superintendents,- fact, everyone
shall interest themselves in the course,
and take m active part in the plans
To secure the course, and carry II
through I'D a successful conclusion

ORCHARDISTS SHOULD GUARD
AGAINST SCALE INJURY.
Spraying With Lime Sulphur Solution
While Dormant Is Recommended.
T. B. SYMoNs.
Director OF the Extension Service.

III is now the duty or every orchard
1T to examine his orchard and pre-
pare for the dormant spraying, for the
control of the San Jose scale. In
some sections Of the State, we have
received reports that the San Jose
Scale has increased considerably dur
linz the past season; in others, 1t has
not given much trouble. the pest
should b. watched carefully in each
orchard, and only after a very
thorough examination should the
orohardist decide not to treat or to
skip season Of dormant spraying. In
the case Of peach trees the orchardist
should remember that dormant spray
1nE with Hme-sulphur tends to reduce
injury from curl-leaf
The concentrated lime-sulphur solu-
ton is now quite generally used for
the control of the pest. 1t can best
be purchased from manufacturers or
the solution can be made on the farm.
When only a small orchard ID to be
treated, III IL undoubtedly best to- pur-
chase the solution, but If a-large num-
Der of trees il to be sprayed and the
grower desires to practice economy, he
can mix the solution himself with lit
tie inconvenience. There is practically
no difference in the effectiveness of
good homemade concentrated solution
and a good manufactured product. For
those who may desire To make their
own solution, the following formula
and method Of preparation is con
sidered the best.

Best stone lime, so lbs; Sulphur
(any kind finely ground, SO per cent.
pure), 100 lbs; Water, 80 gals.
Directions Heat about twenty gal
Ions OF water in 81 iron vat Oh by
steam in barrels to near boiling, and
add stone lime and sulphur gradually,
to prevent boiling over. Vigorous
motion will take place and cold water
should be near at hand to be added
gradually, to make a total Of about IS
gallons. The solution should boil
vigorously for one hour. IL IL then
ready to BE- stored or to b. diluted and
used at once. In storing the solution
it is necessary to exclude air from 1t
as much as possible. by either filling
up the barrel or other container COM
pletely with the liquid, or by putting o
film of oil on the surface Of the solu-
ton. The stored solution should b.
protected from extreme cold weather.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1915-01-29

Where possible orchardists should
secure power sprayers, as not only the
dormant spraying. but treatment later
on the season when trees are In
foliage, can b. best applied, and more
satisfactory results secured with such
outfits the barrel OH other hand
pump should only be used for very
small orchards which do not justify
the expense of purchasing power ma
chimes.
All orchards should be pruned be
fore being sprayed d. the latter can b.
done more effectively when useless
limbs and twigs ere cut out.
The Extension Service or the Agri-
cultural College desires to conduct as
many pruning and spraying demonstra-
/ items a jts-peans VIII permit.
