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.

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. TOPIARY WORK. A Rerlral of the Fancy For Formal It Trained Plants. The revival of the fancy for the form al in both plants and garden is the dominant feature of the present day, which American Gardening notes as follows: It may be merely a passing fancy, but the fact of its existence Is plainly apparent In garden design the Italian method, which the teachers of a few' years back had, as they thought decently buried, Is once again In the ascendant and in its train comes the FOBMALLX TBIMMKD BOX FIiAKT. 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. A remarkable assortment of these fantastic things chairs, trees, tables, ships, pitchers and other things are shown in these "arboreal sculptures," as some one has called them. Designs in box and yew stand 3 to 5 feet In height For piazza and portico orna mentation these trained plants are very serviceable. Great nifthTrar Proposed.

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.

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 good roads department and an appro priation which will be adequate to its 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.
