UNIONS CLAIM GAINS.
Report Over $4,000 Non-Union
Miners on Strike; Total Growing.

NEW YORK, April S-Oficials of
the United Mine Workers at strike
headquarters here today continued to
non-union bituminous coal fields of
West Virginia, Pennsylvania and
eastern Kentucky.
Additional non-union mines are be-
ing closed down, they asserted, and
the number of unorganized workers
who have Joined the strikers has
passed the so per cent mark. Except
for occasional arrests for alleged IN
timidation,'' union leaders said, no
violence had been reported in any of
the contested districts.
The number of non-union men who
have joined with the strikers was
placed at "over $4,000 and increasing
steadily 1t is estimated that a total
of 100000 non-union men were en-
ployed in the industry prior to the
strike.
The stoppage of work in Fayette
county, where $4,000 non-union men
are idle, alone reduced the weely pro-
duction of soft coal by 100000 tons,
or one third of the total normal nom
union production" said John L. Lewis.
international president of the United
Mine Workers of America.
The closing of each non union mine
brings the national bituminous fuel
will hit the country within six weeks.
Just that much nearer" he said to-
day. According to his figures. nom
union mines now in operation will be
able to supply less than one-fourth of
the weekly consumption when the
present 60,000.0000 tons in reserve is
exhausted.
Statisticians employed by the an
thracite operators today were putting
in shape the data they will begin to
submit Tuesday. when the miners and
operators subcommittee on wage con-
ences here on terms of a possible set

House republicans have started a
quiet movement for a six-week rest

three-day recess plan.
All sorts of estimates have been

TOPICS OF THE FARM
. Department Devoted Exclusively to Farm
Affairs in Hand County
FORAGE CROP SURVEY

Information has been mailed to CO.
operators in each township this week
requesting their cooperation In max
ing a forage crop survey.
The object Of the survey is to gain
information on which TO base the de-
velopment of a definite crop rotation
system suitable for Hand County.
Building up the soil with legume
crops before the land begins to run
down in productive power, is the ad-
vantage to be gained from a balanced
crop rotation system. Farmers OF the
northwest states are all in direct COM
petition with n another whether they
will it or not. The n who is the
most successful in his farming opera
tons is he who can produce his crops
the cheapest. The most prosperous
county is the county that has the great
est number of farmers producing their
crops at a figure cheaper than other or
adjoining counties.
The crop system that will make this
possible for the majority of farmers
in Hand County is the n desired to
be worked out. This a be lone only
through the cooperation of the farmers
of Hand County.
An earnest bid is being made for
assistance from every farmer in each
township in order that those who have
been selected to make the survey may
complete it at the earliest possible
time and with the least effort.

County Agent.

SWEET CLOVER THE awEEDr

The following are statements made
by three Hand County farmers regard
ing Sweet Glover as a pasture plant.
liz this plant is a weed IL certainly
will pay more Hand County farmers
TO seed It, and lots of 1t.
Listen TO M. t. Skinner who lives
about 10 miles southeast of st. Law
ence: Last year I pastured IL cal
YES and yearlings and rs head of hogs
during the whole season on SIX acres
of sweet clover and then had to cut
It because 1t grew away from them"
Mr.. Skinner is planting more sweet
clover this year.
Again. hear what A. o. S~chweppe,
who lives east of N-rIIer one mile, has
to say about sweet clover. II pastur-
ed As head of cattle and 40 hogs on 40
acres all season and could have cut a
seed crop. The 40 acres could have
very easily carried fifteen more cattle.
There is nothing like it as a pasture
plant"
Hear Adam Mohr who was interest-
ed with ]. e. Westmire in a farm one
mile west of Miller. "0n the six acres
of sweet clover we carried 8 brood
sows. IS pigs, 4 spring calves and 4
Iyearlings. In addition to these, 4 milk
Icows we're carried a large share of
the time"
Many similar reports have been re-
! ceiyed from other sections OF the
County. Sweet clover is truly a re-
Variable weed"
This Office will welcome experiences
with sweet clover from anyone wish
ing to contribute. Felp pass q good
thing along to your neighbor by giving
publicity to 1t. Hand County will soon

THE WIPE
Weekly Service Hints Furnished BY
State College Specialists
Mary Ann GRAY

0hoiy ALL oidy
Custard may be made thick but Il
quid to serve as sauce for other pre-
parations or may be baked firm. When
made without sweetening, IL serves as
a substitute for meat and when sweet
ened it will serve as a desert. In
order to prevent curdling the custard
must be cooked very slowly.
The following is a standard recipe
for custard: 2 C. milk, 2 or 3 eggs,
is t. salt, and IA C. sugar. Heat the
milk, beat eggs with sugar and salt
until well mixed then add hot milk.
Cook in double boiler or bake in dish
or custard cups set in pan of water.
To test a soft custard, lift the spoon
from the mixture; IL the spoon is
coated, the custard is done. To test
a baked custard, insert a knife. IL it
comes out clean, the custard is done.
Variations in serving custards pre-
sent several possibilities. For rice
custard, add / c. cooked rice and a few
raisins, chopped dates or some pre-
served Or dried fruits. For tapioca
custard, cook IA C. pearl tapioca in
the milk until the tapioca is transpar-
ent. Beat the egg yolks, sugar and
salt together. Add hot mixture slow
ly to & mixture, return to double
boiler and cook until thickened. Re-
move from fire, and beaten eggs whites
flavor and chill.
Enameled or agate-ware in kitchen
utensils may be kept clean and smooth
by protecting it from unnecessary
knocks, acids, and sudden changes of
temperature. An enameled kettle that
has food stuck on it should not be
scraped but should be boiled with a
little soda, washed in hot water with
a rinsed and dried thoroughly.

Timely Reminders From
State College Experts.
Things To Be Done In April

Look Ont for Bloat-It is, a strong
temptation to turn those cows out on
that nice green alfalfa field during
April. Look out for blcat! To pas
ture alfalfa is counting danger. A
liberal supply of alfalfa hay from the
year before furnishes much better feed
for April than does the new crop.
Plan to have enough silage and hay
to last until grass M in May.
Prepare For Insects-Prepare early
for the coming battle with the garden
insects by laying in a supply of pois-
ons this month. Every gardener
should have on hand several pounds
of lead arsenate for the ~leaf-eating in
seets and some blackleaf 40 for the
plant lice. There should also be avail
able copper sulphate (blue vitroa) and
lime for preparing bordeaux mixture,
which is excellen in checking many
plant diseases of the garden.
Hints for Club Members-All club
members should give special attention
to the Junior farm account books. See
that every entry is properly made and
that all accounts balance. Food and
canning club members should make
out a canning budget. Sewing club
members should complete the third ar
ticle in their sewing work If this was
not finished in March. Other mem
bars should make the fourth article.
Do not neglect to send in your reports.
Drain Out Wet Spots burrows
made with a stirring pillow will often
help drain out small wet spots In the
field. The patent ditcher is service
able for this purpose, for a small basin
also. Leading the surface water on
cultivated land in this way often helps
in cultivation.

son in the Mich Galleries are a suc-
cess from several points of view. but
chiefly from the point of view of SELL
ing. The little silver stars that indl-
cate sales are remarkably prevalent in
this exhibition.
Fbr one thing Mr.. Benson has been
very sure In his technic and certainty
of touch Is never so valuable as In
watercolors. or course genius Is un-
deniable in any medium and even
through any misuse OF it7-as witness
WInslow Homer. the greatest water
colorist we have produced and who sell
dom painted strictly in form-but the
correct usage is a tower of strength 10
any painter.
Mr.. Benson Is correct In manner. He
never fuses his medium. or, IL he does,
covers II up so quickly that he is never
detected. In the present series he has
devoted himself 10 the delectable fish
Ing regions of northern New England
and II is possible that those who are
tunbling over themselves to buy these
drawings are impelled as much by the
subjects as by the splashinz color.
The objection the hypercritical will
make to these successful productions
Is the similarity of mood that prevails
In all of them. The same placid. cool,
unexcited competency prevails In all OF
them. II seems curious that an artist
could feel the same way about such
different themes, but. as was said be-
fore, this is hypercritical and the pub
lie does not echo the sentlment-prob-
ably enjoys the safe feeling OF being
sure OF Mr.. Benson's mood in advance,
and go buys.

Aston Knight Shows
His French Landscapes

Aston Knight, who is, I believe. the
most popular of living American land
scapists. recently returned to this coun-
try from France. where he has sum
mer residence at Beaumont lie Roger,
and an exhibition of his recent works
has already been arranged by the John
Levy Galleries. There is every indica-
ton that IL will meet with Mr.. knights
usual success. and indeed before the ex-
hibition opened one of the canvases
was snatched away by President Har-
ding and placed in the permanent col
lection at the White House.
President Harding may have had first
choice, but the other amateurs have
really nothing to complain OF. since the
merit of the new collection is astonish-
ingly even. Mr.. Knights attitude toward
landscape is essentially healthy one
IIe always has loved the clustering wa
ters of the undefiled streams remote
from the cities. streams that are edged
with reeds and wild flowers, and pos
sibly overhung with the foliage of great
trees.
In Beaumont le Roger he has found
these things to perfection and has had
unalloyed joy In putting them upon can
vas. In addition TO this sylvan retreat
there are rose embowered. thatched cot
tages right upon the rivers bank that
look as though they had sprung into
being In Watteau's time, and perhaps
at his instigation. There are terraces
that are probably contemporary with
the Du Barry. but are entirely too good
for that lucl<less lady. and there are
also the little huts for the laundresses
which In France arel never among the
least picturesque features OF the scene
and In Beaumont le Roger are espe-
cially satisfactory to the eye. All these
things and more Mr.. Knight has painted
with suave and capable brush. and In
so doing makes a loyal tribute to the
beauties of rural France
Mr.. Knight has received all sorts Of
honors in France. where the Govern
ment has many ways Of indicating Its
paternal interest in the welfare Of artists
but the nearest to that that we can offer
is the appreciation Of the White House,
and doubtless Mr.. Knight will rate the
approval of his art by President Har-
ding as among the pleasantest of his
experiences upon his native heath.
