Tho second day of tho striko of tho sheet and steel hoop workers of the Amalgamated Association opened without any in teresting feature. As President Shnf fer ,of tlio Amalgamated Association, remarked, the conditions of tho pres ent striko aro peculiar, uiul no decided results aro expected for 10 days or two weeks. Dy that timo tho manu facturers, having all necessary repairs at their mills completed, will bo anx ious to resume operations. The struggle will then begin in earnest. Tho belief is quite general, however, that tho real test will not begin until tho closo of tho hot weather and tho general resumption of business in tho early fall, and in tho meantime it is thought that tho conflicting interests will seo their way clear to recede from tho present positions. Tho associa tion has for years boon creating a strike fund, and it is said now to amount to between $200,000 and $300,000. Tho combine officials do not appear to no worrying over tho situation. Somo of them intimato that there may bo a renewal of negotiations at any timo and a settlement effected. In outsido circles tnp belief !s growing that tho striko will bo called off before it gets fairly under way. STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. Three Men Killed and a Man and Two Boys Injured, St. Louis, July 3.

I ought to have known." And he Is so confused nnd nshnroed that hu runs away without waiting to make up. It Is a grent mortification to n gentle manly dog to tlnd himself nt fault In this way. I remember another collie, much younger than this one, with whom I once hud a minute or two of friendly Intercourse. Then, mouths afterwnrd, I went again by tho house whero ho lived, nnd he came dashing out with all fierceness, as If he would rend mo In pieces. I let him come (there was nothing else to do, or noth ing elso worth doing), but the distant his uoso struck me he snw his error. Then, In a Hash, he dropped tlat on tho ground nnd literally licked my shoes.. There wns no attitude nbject enough to express the depth of his humiliation. And then, like the dog of this morning, he Jumped up nnd ran with all speed back to his doorstep. Atlantic. George the Had. "Yes," snld ltev.

With some rough lumber board up n side by laying the studding six feet npart and cutting the boards of that length. When you have the two sides boarded, place the two ends of tht sections together. This will be the apex of the cover. The 2 by 4's should have been left projecting a few Inches In order to bolt the two sides together nt tho apex This cover will form a roof that will turn nil storm and preserve the hay as well ns though stored In a barn. As the covers aro made In sections six feet each, only that much of a stack need be cut down at a time.

Ohio Farmer. Kerosene for Hun Joae Scale. There Is no doubt that petroleum, both the refined and crudo petroleum, Is effectual In the battlo against San Jose scale, but tho trouble with It Is thnt It produces different results nt dif ferent times. An operator may npply It effectually on ono lot of trees aud without Injury to the trees, while tho same oprator's applications on another lot will kill many of the trees. Nat urally such results have brought pe troleum Into disfavor, and, ns a mat ter of fact, It Is n good thing to let nlono until more Is known concerning It. It Is n somowhnt general practice among nurserymen nnd fruit growers to uso petroleum during the summer, nnd there enn be no objection to this, provided a solution not strouger thnn 20 per cent of keroseno Is used with wnter. This Is a weak solution, nnd can not Injure the trees nnd as a wash It does cheek the trouble by destroying the young scnlo and keeping the older scale In subjection until fall, when stronger remedies may be applied.

Yet wo remember when tho South Middlesex Society awarded a premium to parties for having grown something over 100 bushels of shelled corn per aero on n Held of about flva acres. They ascertained the crop by measuring a square rod, which the thought an nverago of tho whole field. then weighing the product of that nnd multiplying by 100. Hut nftcr the pcrmlutn had been awarded, the whole crop was harvested, husked and weigh ed In December, and tho field accurate ly surveyed. The result showed that the crop was much less than 100 bush els of shelled corn per ncre, nnd w think but little moro than, one-half as much as the estimate of the committee that awarded the premium. Many have grown over or very near 100 bushels of ears, but few, If any, have grown 100 bushels of corn. Massachusetts) Ploughman. Phaile In the Pasture. Two years ago an experiment was made with a view to ascertaining what profit there was In providing some com fort for milch cows in the pasture. Ttis pasture was so located that It was Im possible to give tree shade of any kind. so a rough structure was erected wltn boards, open on all sides, but hooded In such a manner that some portion of It was at all times shaded. Ity the use of some piping the current of a stream of water was carried Into troughs, so that the cows at all times had a supply of cool, fresh water. The pasture was situated on lowland, and as a conse quence flies were very numerous and annoying. It was found profitable to use light blankets mako of unbleached muslin, arranged so that they could be buttoned around the neck aud come down over each leg to the ankle. Later In the season, as these summer blan kets became soiled, the fly remedies, of which there are several good ones on the market, were used with splendid success: The result of the experiment showed conclusively that It was profit able In dollars and cents to provide thtse summer comforts for the cows. The flow of milk was materially In creased, and In quality much Improved. This last statement may seem a little peculiar, as quality Is supposed to be entirely the result of the food, but It Is surprising how much the quality of milk Is affected by the disposition of the cow. Commercial Fertilizer. We remember hearing some one ask an old farmer and a very successful one why he did not keep more stock nnd not have to buy so much commer cial fertilizer. Ills reply was, "If X kept twice as many animals I should probably buy twice as much fertilizer." We think be had the correct Idea of the proper use of commercial fertiliz ers. They are a substitute for barn yard manure only when barnyard man ure cannot be obtained In sufficient quantities to utilize the land and the labor that can be had to a profitable limit. They will serve to grow a good crop which will help to buy more stock or to feed more animals, and thus cre ate barnyard manure upon the farm. They help to use land and labor that would be unproductive, or nearly so. If (he land was not fertilized, but they are seldom more profitable than when used as an nddltlon or supplement to the barnyard manure. They serve to give the mineral elements thnt are lacking In the manure nnd the soil, and they give them In an available form. Of course, to have thdm do this one must chooso his fertilizer so that It will be adapted to the soil and crop, and till the wants that the barnyard manure does not American Cultiva tor. Do Applet PnyT A correspondent In the fruit district of New York, who for twenty years has been growing apples, writes that after a thorough trial he Is convinced there Is no money In apples. Another correspondent locnted less than twenty five miles from the first, and known to have made money In apple growing, was communicated with. The reply told tho story. The man who gets but 70 cents a barrel for apples Is In the habit of growing nnythlng ho can raise be tween tho orchard rows. Ho neither trims, prunes, sprays nor thins, and his apples are of tho poorest grade as a consequence. The second correspond ent last year bold his apples nnd net ted a trlllo less than $150 per ncro from his twenty-three acres, and ndmlts that some of his neighbors have made oven a better showing. Apple growing does pay If growers will do what Is neces sary to ralso fruit of thu best possible quality, nnd It nssuredly does not pay If the grower neglects his orchards. Putter or Oleo.
