FINAL EFFORT TO
END THE STRIKE.
Determined Upon by President
Roosevelt and Some of His
Advisers.
TO AVERT A FUEL FAMINE.
Miners to Be Induced to Retard to Work
With Premise That Complete laves-
tlrttlon of Situation Shall Be
Made by Cosfress
By teiegraDB. to the Morning star
Washington. Oct. 4 A. final ef
fort, with hope of success, is to be
made to end the coal strike. It has
been discussed by the President and
some of his advisers to-day and while
the idea li still in an uncompleted
state and the final result still uncer
tain. vt it offers a method which now
seems to be the only solution of the
problem.
Tha amrvAstinn la made that Presi
dent Mitchell of the United Mine
Wnrk-Ars mav be able to have the men
now on strike return to work in order
to avert the impending disaster which
a fuel famine will cause,- and that at
an early date as possible there shall be
a complete investigation by the
National legislature, and by the State
InolnlatnrA nf PftrinAvl vania. into tha
anthracite coal situation with a view
of bringing before the public the facts
and condition of the miners, with a
view to legislation or recommendation
fVir ml in vine tha condition of the
miners in the near future. While it
is not absolutely possible to guarantee
such an investigation, there is little
Hnnht that rnrnmmnndationa bv the
President and the executive of Penn
sylvania would be promptly acted
upon by Congress and the Pennsyl
vania legislature.
Will Mitchell Agree?
JuBt how President Mitchell will
view this suggestion' cannot be stated,
but It is known that be and others
fully realized that after the statements
by the presidents of the coal roads yes
terday there is little hope of securing
any adjustment with the operators by
which the people of the country may
be supplied with coal. It is expected
that President Mitchell will confer
with his associates and if they can de
termine that the mine workers may be
fully as much benefitted by the course
suggested as by continuing the strike
and causing the widespread suffering
which is sure to follow a dead-lock, it
is expected that negotiations will be
opened with a view to carrying out
the new proposition. Much will de
pend upon the way the miners view
the proposition and whether they
think it will cause a loss of prestige to
the union from which it cannot re
cover.
No Extra Session of Congress.
There will be no call for an extra
session of Congress to deal with the
coal strike situation at this stage.
The President stated in his appeal
to the operators and representatives of
the miners yesterday that he did not
act officially in calling them together.
tie has for the time being exhausted
his individual resources. In his view,
the matter is one with which the
State of Pennsylvania should deal. If
the commonwealth finds itself unable
to control the situation and appeals to
him through the constitutional chan
nel, the President will be ready to
bring into play the great forces of
the national government, military and
civil. But for the time being, the
President has relaxed his efforts.
A great many radical suggestions
have been made as the result of the
failure of the conference yesterday.and
they include everything from taking
possession of the mines by the gov
ernment to the sending of United
States troops to Pennsylvania without
regard to any call from the Governor
of that State. It can be positively
stated that none of these suggestions
has received any serious consideration
by the administration.
Not approved by Strikers.
WlLKKSBAERK. Pa . October 4
President Mitchell was shown the As
sociated Press dispatch from Wash
ington to the effect that it has been
suggested that the miners return to
work and that Congress and the Penn
sylvania Legislature Investigate the
conditions prevailing In the hard coal
field, with the view of recommend
ing remedial legislation , but he
declined to discuss the new propo
sition in any way. While he did
not indicate what be thought of
the proposed methods for ending the
strike, it is believed he has his mind
made-up on that point but would
rather have the proposition placed be
fore him in some official way. It is
the general opinion about strike head
quarters that the proposition in its
present form would not be entertain
ed by a convention of the miners. The
strikers have all along argued that
tney want some definite concession
and no promises.
There was rumor here to nie-ht that
the operators on Monday would post
notices at all collieries requesting the
men now on strike to return to work.
Mr. Mitchell's attention was called to
this and his only reply was that the
operators have been making every ef-
iort since trie strike started to get the
men to return to the mines, but have
failed.

THE MUSKMELON CROP.

To know just when to pick a musk

quired only by a practical acquaintance
with melons. Each variety has its

has softened at this critical point. It
is not less Important to grade melons
than peaches or apples, and no pro
gressive ffuit grower dreams of mar
keting these fruits without grading
them. Grading according to size is a
distinct advantage because it frequent
ly happens that one consumer desires
a small size, while another prefers a
larger grade. The work of grading and
packing can be done best on a proper
ly constructed grading table in the
packing house or in a shaded corner of
the field. The packing house is the
best place, however.
In western New York there are three
types of packages twelve pound bas
kets, bushel baskets and crates. The
twelve pound basket usually holds six
teen melons, while the bushel basket
and the crate hold from thirty to forty-
five melons each. A favorite size of the
crate Is 0 by 11 by 22 Inches. Baskets
are neat and easily handled, but are
not suitable for. shipping fruit to dis
tant markets. For long distance ship
ment the crate is undoubtedly the best
package, economy of space and ease of
handling considered. In western New
York most of the product is shipped by
canalboat Netted Gem packs nicely
in twelve pound baskets, while the
larger varieties, like Surprise, are more
conveniently handled in bushel bas
kets. It is doubtful, however, if grow
ers could afford to use this package if
shipped by railway.--J. Craig, New
York Station.

A Rerlral of the Fancy For Formal

fancy for trained plants, yew and box
twisted, with a consummate skill, Into
a simulation of the forms of a host of
common objects.
Prate as one may, there Is in the
large body of the public a certain num
ber who love the formal, to whom In
deed a plant is of use only as to Its
form in combination with other ob
jects;. Who do not love plants for them
selves. Yet these people may' realize
in all this something more subtle than
is Imagined by the opposing or uniniti
ated host That which has endured for
generations must have an elemental
power of some value. The demand for
formally trained plants Is today stron
ger than ever, and the trade is catering
to the demand.

. We do not think that those who have
- had most experience with silage con
' elder sweet corn materially better than
; any other variety of corn, says Hoard's
; Dairyman in answer to an Inquiry.
! They think the most Important consld
) eration is to plant that kind ot corn
1 which will certainly mature and, one
j year with another, yield the largest
j amount of forage. It Is claimed that
sweet corn is a litfle more disposed to
make an acid silage than are other va
rieties, but this acidity is not a very
serious objection. All silage is more or
less sour. The principal distinction be
tween what Is known as sweet silage
and that which is known as sour silage
Is in their respective feeding values.
Unripe corn makes a so called sour si
lage, and at the same time unripe corn
contains less nutriment than mature
corn. When silage is especially sour,
we conclude that it is made from Im
mature corn and therefore carries less
nutriment than the same amount of si
lage made from corn more mature. It
is now the universal opinion that the
best silage from flint varieties of corn
is made when the ears are fairly well
glazed and from the dent varieties of
corn when the kernels are pretty well
dented, the lower leaves of the Btalk
commencing to turn and 1 some of tho
husks of the more mature ears getting
approximately dry and hard.
Silage Batter Satisfactory.
The silage butter question will never
be settled, as some claim it is tainted.,
no matter what precaution is exercised
In its production. H. B. Gorier states
that he has had silage butter tested
for weeks at a time by experts, ,who
were, unable; to tell whether It came
from si Inge fed cows or not He thinks
the trouble comes in exposing milk In
open vessels near fresh silage. This is
about the only way Milage will injure
milk or butter.
That Cornstalk Disease.
Wide is the discussion and much is
the study concerning the cornstalk dis
ease; still no one has found a cure, al
though many experiments have been .
made. No one really seems to know,
the cause of the disease, writes B. B.
Synder in Prairie Farmer. Some think
Jt is caused by a too sudden change
from grecu ' pasture to the coarse dry
feed which forms a compaction in the
stomach or 'ntestines or causes indiges
tion. Others claim that it is due to
inut or blight and still others, good
authority on the subject, assert that it
is not contagious. I was told not long
since by a man who had made an ex
amination of some cattle that be had
lost that he had found on the second
lining of the stomach a black coating
resembling smut Some will turn their
stock out In the fall. Do not make too
sudden a change from grass to stalks
and keep plenty of salt on hand. I have
noticed that the man who is fortunate
enough to have a meadow near his
stalkfleld or feeds other green feed -In
connection with the stalks until the
cattle are used to. the dry feed seldom
loses any form from this disease.

CANADA'S GOOD ROADS.
Larare Appropriation For Improve
ment of Btshways.
Our -cousins across the border in
Canada have been even more active
and moro liberal in their support nnd
appropriations for tho : gbod roads
movement than we are on this side-,
says the Philadelphia North American.
The little province of Ontario, large in
area, but small in resources as compar
ed with some of the American states,
has been building roads for more than
ten years, spending $150,009 a year for
this purpose. In addition to this an
nual expenditure the provincial parlia-.
ment last year appropriated a million
dollars for the purpose of still further
improving its highways.
When this is compared with the ap
propriation which the great country of
the United States placed at the dis
posal of Director Martin Dodge of the
department of good roads inquiries of:
Washington last year, it forms a con
trast that is anything but favorable
to Uncle Sam. Mr. Dodge was given
the munificent (!) sum of $20,000 to de
vote to bis work throughout tho coun-
There is a movement now on foot
among certain congressmen and state
officials which has for Its object the
complete equipment of an'up to date

operation.
Road Machinery Reduces Cost.
' New York state may. be said to lead
the others this year in road Improve
ment Interests, and the national con
ference upon road improvement held at
the Pan-American exposition at Buf
falo last summer helped to increase In
terest In the matter, says The Good
Roads Magazine. The exhibition of
machinery for road construction and
repairing at Buffalo naturally illustrat
ed in a forcible way modern methods
of improving our public highways at
the least possible expense. In award
ing the contracts for road construction
this year the attempt was made to keep
the cost of road development to the
very lowest possible point consistent
with excellent work; It is estimated
that some of the inland highways can
be constructed at the rate of $2,000 per
mile, where a few years ago they would
have cost between $4,000 and $7,000
per mile. This reduction is due to the
cheaper cost of trap rock and the em
ployment of machinery on the roads in
place of so much hand labor.
