day allowed an alternative writ of
mandamus on the application of the
Public Utility Commission for writ
to compel the Public Service Rail-
way Company to resume service on
its trolley lines throughout New
Jersey. The writ as handed down
this morning will be followed bv the
calling of a special session of the
supreme court to hear both sides of
the case in the action to compel
the company to resume service.
The strike of $500 trolleymen on
the lines of the company, which has
tied up service for seventeen days,
affected 147 municipalities in this
state.
Chief Justice Gummere in hand
Ing down his decision said:
''This is a matter of great public
Importance. I doubt the property of
a single judge disposing 1t on pre-
iiminary application. In the inter
ests of the public, the commission,
and the company it ought to be
heard by three Judge court. There
fore I will allow an alternative writ
of mandamus" The company now
has ten days in which to file an ans
wer.
The special session to hear the
case will be called with little delay
after the elapse of the ten days for
the filing of the con- ~any's answer,
the court indicated.

sey's seventeen day old trolley strike

damus to compel the Public Service
Railway company to resume trolley
service which was granted.
The company, which was warned
on Tuesday by the commission to
resume service by ten o'clock today
or face court action, had made no
move to forestall the court action up
to this morning, nor was any indi-
cation made by company officials of
such intention. 1t was, however,
expected the company would combat
the issuance of the mandamus, but
in what manner was mere conjec-
ture.
The commissions lawyers are ex-
pected to do everything possible to
bring action to compel the cars>to
be moved again, and it was under
stood that the chief justice will be
asked to call special session of the
full court so that the hearing on
the application may be made and
possibly concluded this, month.

solution Of the difficulty. OF course,
IN might have side-wall shaft venti-

when the wall is of. brick, cement or

dimension for such an air shaft.
You will observe that this piggery is
laid out with twelve pens, six on a
side of the feed alley. One might ex-
tend the house a bit, to permit of a
feed cooker room, or utilize n of the
pen spaces for this purpose. A good
plan, and one which helps keep Mr..
and Mrs. Pig comfortable, with their
small and noisy family, is to have the
chimney constructed so ii runs the
length of the piggery, losing its heat
into the structure rather than into the
outer air. One ought to plan some
thing like this where narrowing is the
prime essential of the piggery. IL
otherwise, rest assured the pigs Will
do nicely in a. rather cold pen, straw
spread, and with a reasonable degree
of air circulation.

Destroying Foulbrood in
Season Favoring Malady

The way to handle American foul
brood In a season when conditions are
favorable for the spread Of the dis
ease Is to kill the bees after dark with
sulphur or a pint Of gasoline. This
is the advice Of G. o. Yost, secretary
Of the Indiana Bee Keepers associa-
ton. He suggests several plans.
Says he:
stop the entrance tight, carry the
hive inside a bee-tight Enclosure, there
destroy combs, etc, and scorch fix
lures thoroughly. Another plan: Do
all the treating under a light screen
tent that may be carried around and
set over the colony to be handled.
Another plan: Take a sick colony a
couple Of miles from any bees, treat
there, allow them to quiet down and
move home. If gasoline Is used the
entrance should first be closed. Raise
the hive cover and with a little smoke
chase all bees down from top bar,
then empty the pint OF gasoline
around top OF frames, close hive
cover tight. The hive and dead bees
may be taken inside and the usual
methods Of cleaning, etc, carried out.

The floor is Of cement overlaid with
