rejected by tho operators, they will be rejected by the killer, and the issue will be joined The demands of the miners read as follows: • First. -That an agreement shall be negotiated between the representatives of ttie mineis and the operators of the anthracite region and all disputes arising under the contract shall be adjusted as provided for in such agreement.

SOUTH BEND COUPLE DIE

Schuyler C. Carskaddon and Wife Found Lifeless From Bullets. South Bend, Ind.. Jan. 19.—Having evidently carried out a prearranged plan to die together, Schuyler C. Carskandon and wife were found dead In South Norfolk, Va. An examination showed that the bodies bad been lifeless probably since Sunday. Both had been shot through the back of the head. The theory of the police is that the •ouple agreed to die together and that the husband shot his wife! by nrear-

rangement and then turned the pistol on himself. Mr. Carskaddon was well known here. The finding of a note tied to a doorknob In which Carskaddon told of his intentton to kllle himself and wife. Cleared up any lingering doubt as to the manner of their death-

Affics That Fen. 12 Be Holiday. Washington, Jan. 19. President Roosevelt sent a special message to congress asking that Feb. 12, the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, be made a national holiday.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Best Time to Water Horses. A horse should be watered before feeding and never given a large quantity of waler after a meal, for the simple reason that the water will wash the food out of the stomach before stomach digestion has taken place, and the food will not be well prepared for absorption, and, besides, it is some times the cause of colic. There is a popular idea that a warm horse should not be allowed to drink, and, unlike a great many other popular ideas, there is a little truth in It. If you water a warm horse in the ordinary' way, letting him drink all that he will, you are likely to have a foundered horse on yodr hands. This is especially ho if at the time the horse is fatigued. Nevertheless it is always safe to allow him from six to ten swallows, no matter how warm he is. If this be given on going Into the stable and he be allowed to stand and eat hay for an hour and Is then offered water he will not drink nearly so much as he would had none been given before. The danger is not in the first swallow, as we often hear it asserted, but in the excessive quantities lie will drink if not restrained. The most dangerous time to give a horse a full draft is when he has cooled down from fatiguing work and has partaken of a meal.—F. W. Culver, M. D. C., Colorado Agricultural College.

Value of Thorough Tillage.

During the past uncommonly dry season it was found that excellent crops were grown on the richest and best cultivated fields, says American Cultivator. It makes much less difference about the vicissitudes of season or weather with the crops when grown on a rich, well cultivated soil, as when thus treated the power of resistance is much increased over a soil of the opposite character The crops will push rapidly forward under these favorable conditions and mature early, while the others will hardly get a foothold. The thorough cultivation will keep the weeds down and form a mulch at the surface to retain the moisture that would other wise escape. It would be more profitable to cultivate less land and in this way be able to do the work more efficiently ns well as to fertilize to an Increased extent. Tills would contribute to the production of excellent crops when the seasons are unfavorable, while when otherwise they will be exceptionally good. Make the most manure possible and apply so judiciously us to secure the best results.

The Silo Popular.

Th(> silo furnishes tho most rational and economical method of feeding cattle. says Kimball’s Dairy Farmer. It does not produce sensational results. It Is merely reproducing as nearly as possible the conditions of nature in furnishing; the cow with the same ration in the winter tlpit produces such good results in the sutiitner. The silo doos not solve the problem of the balanced ration, but it furnishes the basis for every well balanced ration. It is safe to predict that this popularity will be much greater this year than last. The farmer who was caught by the drought will take prompt measures to be prepared for subsequent contingencies of this kind. His neighbor who uses a silo will furnish a remarkable object lesson which he will not speedily forget.

Points of a Beef Steer.

If we make a study of a well bred beef steer on foot we find it possesses a broad back, with a thi<k. even covering of flesh, a long, deep hind quarter. well filled out both on the Inside and outside, says Denver Field and Farm. This gives a broad, square rump to tho animal. The neck, shoulder and plates constitute the cheaper parts <>f the carcass and should not. be unduly developed. A steer lacking In a thick covering of lean tissue produces a wasteful carcass, for the fat is mainly discarded for food. This thick fleshed character comes largely from the introduction of good beef blood and cannot be fed into a steer, no matter how good a gainer it may be In the feed lot.

The Dairy Cow.

The dairy cow is the most Important animal on the farm. She brings in a regular income every week or every month at most. She saves the fertility of the farm, making it possible to hand down to posterity better land thau you are now tilling. She has bought many a piano and surrey for the comfort of tlie farmer’s family. Many a bouse' has tieen gladdened with new furniture, brighter carpets and a happier outlook upon life liecause of the cream checks,, The dairy cow Is the universal benefactress of the farm home. Kimball’s Dairy Farmer.

Farm Notes.

Oiling the harness is a good job for a raihy day. It makes the harness wear longer. ■ ' A box in the barn or tool house to hold odd bolts, hinges, nails and various scraps of Iron, will save many

trips to the blacksmith's. Implements and farm machinery not in use should be under the abed or Ip the tool houae. Rust is one of the best friends of the implement maker.

- Whiteland Rad Wheat. White wheat in general yields more grain per acre, possesses stronger straw, weighs a little less per measured bushel. Is slightly softer in the grain, produces a more popular pastry flour and furnishes a somewhat weaker flour for bread than the red grains. —Ontario Agricultural College.
