STRIKES LAST YEAR
NUMBERED 1874 In U. s.

Washington, d. c. - Labor strikes
and lockouts throughout the United
States during the year 1919 totaled
1874 and involved more than 100000
persons. This is shown by figures
which have just been compiled by the
bureau of labor statistics of the labor
department.
Reports of the bureau showed the
termination of 1861 strikes in 1919, of
which ga per won by employers, 53S
by employees, 729 were compromised,
in the case of AZ of them employees re-
turning pending arbitration and in the
remaining SS results were not report
ed. OF the strikes of last year 125 were
unauthorized, involving 1,$53,256 strik-
ers.
While the number of strikes in 1919
was not as great as in the war years,
yet the number of working days lost
was greater and the average duration
of strikes was over twice that in each
of the preceding three years. The num-
Der of persons on strike during the
year 1919 also was greatly in excess of
the number on strike in any of the
three preceding years, due to strikes
in which unusually large groups of
persons were involved.
There were nine disturbances in
1918, in each of which 10000 or more
persons were directly concerned.
There was only one strike of this size
in 1916, none in 1917, and but one in
1918.
The number of persons in the nine
strikes with more than $4,000 persons
each involved was upward of 1000 900
These included strike of $1,000 EN-
ployees in the Chicago stockyards a
lockout in the building trades in Chi
cago, involving 10000; the steel
strike, involving 367 900 persons; the
coal strike with $4,000 persons in
volved; strike of shipyard employees
of New York city and vicinity, involv.
ing 100000 persons; strike of long
shoremen along the Atlantic coast
wherein 100000 persons were involv.
ed; and general strike in Tacoma
and Seattle in sympathy with the met
al trade strike, involving 10000.
In comparison with these disturb
ances the largest strike of the veal
1916 was the mems clothing strike II

strike in 1917 involved as many as 40,
900 persons. The strike of 1918 involv

Hickman, Ky.-After twenty-six

the 25O-pound hog belonging to L.
Jones, near Island No. 2, returned
home 240-pound hog with a record as
swimmer. The hog was caught in

while fishing. Mr.. Jones arrived to get
the hog, which he said had been on a
mound above Columbus, Ky. He thinks
the hog fell into the river and was car
ried downstream by the current. The
hog lost ten pounds in weight as the
result of its journey.

Humane Treatment for Horse or Mule
Is Just Common Sense.
1t should not take a humane society
to teach a Kentucky farmer how to
care for the most useful animal he
possesses, namely, the horse. Mules
and horses should not be worked hard
fore they are ready for it. The work
should be given gradually. Skin
wounds or saddle gals can be cured
and in many cases can be avoided.
Trouble may come to the horse or
mule if the harness or saddle does not
fit or set well; if the pressure is I'M
even; if short chain pulls; if there
are rough uneven places on the inside
o fthe harness or saddle: if sweat or
accumulations of sebaceous material
under the collar cause skin abrasions
if cleaning is neglected before or after
work.
When the animal has tendency to-
ward sore shoulders the parts should
be bathed in camphor. When the sores
develop, thorough and careful treat
ment should be given Abrasions OF
the skin are helped by bathing with
water and then boric acid busting pow
der applied or 2 saturated solution Of
copper sulphate gently applied will
relieve. If it is necessary to work the
horse, tho injured spot shouuld be pro

Cornroot Aphn Serious This Year.

Cornr0Ot Aphil Serious This Year.
The common aphis found in the corn
belt ever yseason has. already made
its appearance and has ben active in
the corn crops in central Kentucky.
An investigation of six or seven corn
crops in Taylorville, Spencer county,
his resulted in the realization that the
lice are unusually effective this year
The stalks are yellowish in color and
stunted in growth and are injured be-
fore they are eighteen inches high. H.
H. Jewett of the department of entom-
ology, College of Agriculture, made the
Spences county investigation.
The life history of the aphis shows
that it depends upon the brown field
ant so the task for the farmer is to get
rid of the ant. This may be accom-
plished by strict rotation of crops and
especially to not plant corn in the
same field two consecutive years. The
methods to follow in culturing are in
the spring. pillow deep (azout six or
seven inches) and follow by several
diskings of three or four inches deep.
Old corn fields should be treated the
same way in the fall. The early part
of the season the aphis feeds on the
smart weed, crab grass, fox tail and
other weds. When it has once started
its work nothing can stop it entirely
but frequent civilizations will retard
its work and after the plant is above
Is inches high the injury cannot be
serious.

Sudan Grass Experiment.
Sudan grass sown on the Kentucky
Experiment Station farm this year, on
a small area, impressed the growers
very favorably. Hogs were turned on
it about the middle of June when it
was six inches high and they ate 1t
down and they ate it in preference to
rape. They were taken off few days
before the first of July and the grass
has sprouted up nicely, despite the
dry condition of the soil.
While the agronomists do not give
the Sudan grass unqualified recon-
mendation on this short trial they see
no reason that it would not fill long
felt want as a hog pasture crop for
late summer when other pasture crops
are not available. Where the Sudan
grass is sown early, hay crop can be
cut out early in July and, the second
growth used for hog pasture. Sudan
grass, sown in May, was nearly waist

land. Hogs should be hinged before
