I Now York.?The f unourw cinent that the strike vote wlilcb has been hi progress among the train service employes of American railroads lor the past several weeks has been completed, and that the final demands by the uuion leaders are soon to be presented to the railroad managers here, indicates thai i the public will soon know whether the! controversy between the railroad work J ers and their employers is to be settled peaceably, or whether a nation-wide strike is to lie Indicted dpon the coun- j try. Thus far the leaders of the font I unions?the Brotherhood of Locotrm I tive Knglneers. the Brotherhood ofr Lb* j comotive Firemen and Knginctucn. the urilcr or ltail\Viy fonduct.ors and the Itrothcrhond of ltailroad Traiuhion? have refused to consider any proposal for an arbitration of the questions in' dispute, or l'or settlement of tlio eon \ troversy by the Interstate Commerce; Commission.

The demands of the train ser\ i -e men for an inereaxe in wapes. which, it '?>, estimated, would cost the railroads of the country J?10d.00f>.000 a year, were originally presented last March. At that time the representatives of the unions asUcd for a conference with a committee of railroad manajici> ivpre sentin^ the various railroad lines of tlio country. This conference bemin here In New i York on .lunc 1st. and continued for two weeks. The railroads were repre I seated l>y a commiWee of nineteen ! managers, and the brotherhoods by the heads of their various national and In cal organizations?some eia:ht Imndred men in all. Choice of Methods Offered. 'i'he conference failed to reach a deel filon owiip: to the refusal of the union leaders to consider i.ny modification of their demands, or any proposal for ar bitration. At tlie conclusion of the meetings the railroad inamprcrs suhniitted a proposal to refer the whole question to tile Interstate Commerce Commission, or to arbitration umlor the provision of the federal statute cover J injr this matter. The alternative suggestions which they advanced for adjusting the con i trovcrsy were as follows: "1.

The union leaders declined to consider the suggestion c?C the railroad managers, and announced that they won Id seek n vote of the members of the unions asking that they be given authority to declare a strike on all the j railroad lines of the country. This! strike vote has boon in progress ^<>r the' past six weeks, and. according to re-1 ports which have been received here j from time to time, will result in giving the four union leaders the authority! which they asked for to halt every! I railroad train from one end of thn i i country to the other. Meanwhile a resolution has been Introduced Into Congress at the request of the Chamber of Commerce of the United-States directing the Interstate Commerce Commission to Investigate the whole question of railway wages and their relation to railway earnings. The commercial interests, the newspapers, and public men of the nation have gone on record as demanding that the dispute be settled peaceably. o COOK COOT)?FEEL GOOP No one can either fee] prod "r I'vd' pood while suffering from constipation Get rid of that tired, draggv. lifelcsf feeling by a treatment of Dr. King's New Life Pills.

It was shedding badly and plants j were drying up in some localities. ^ Cotton was not fruiting well in Texas ^ on account of drouth in the western c and northern portions and boll weevil in central and southern districts. ^ The crop is very poor in northwestern \ Arkansas, but is good in other sec- f tions of the state, except that few ^ new squares were forming in the cen- t tral and southern portions, due to ^ weevil damage. s The weather conditions were fa- ( voiable for the crop in Tennessee and ( it continued to show some improve- ? ment in North Carolina nad the pros- j pee't was improving in South Caro- c lina. It was too dry for late cotton, which was shedding the top crop, ii parts of Georgia, and there was nr decided change in the conditions ir. < Alabama. The plants deteriorated ir v Florida and in most of Mississippi ( except in northwestern counties ( where the weevil damage ir sma'l There is much shedding in all central, < southern and western districts, and . some rust is reported.

GROViI.tf TIMOTHY | 'usually (,?ro*n in Rotations With Of er Crops?Stodinj: and Management of Meadows Timothy is ordinarily grown in fixtures, usual1 y with red clover or vith red am! : Icikc clovers. In the >Icw Englaru. .V.etes and parts of <tw York reuup commonly is added o the mixture. A:?ike clover is es?ccially to be recv ndcd on poorly Ivained soils that have a tendency to leave, as under such condition: it generally will come ihr>? h the wincr better than red ekv?;\ On such .oils re<ltop can be added to good advantage. The first crop .. . hay is omposcd chiefly of clover. After ho lirst year most of the clover disH pears and the following hay crops ire made up almost entirely of tini. >thy or of timothy and redtop. 1 \ iomc of the irrigated valleys oi the Morthwost alfalfa is submitted for lover in mixture with timothy. Seeding. ? j Timothy generally is sown wit., .vhcut, rye, oats, or barley, which' ommonly are referred to as r.ursi rops. The lirst hay crop is predacid, us a rule, the year after the graii :iop is harvested. When seeded with spring grains the timothy seed, together with the clover or grass to be ;:rown in mixture with it, is sown a I lie same time as the grain. Whei. . inter grain is used as a nurse crop iither a portion or ah of the timothv seed may be grown with the grain o. in the spring- with the (lover. Whe> sown in early spring the timothy ma, be broadcasted with one of the: various types of hand seeders and loft [>n the surface of tho soil to he covered by alternate freezing and thaw ur .--i i may do uoiaye i until j the surface of the soil has become somewhat dry, when ti.e seed su-jim. be covered witli a r.;pi!:e-toolh ha;. I row. Timothy may be sown ah nc !n th(all and ;; crop of hay harvested ti. ollowing season. In the latitude of northern Ohio and southern New '/or'.; the best results may be expected when the seed is sown from a .ou August 2.) to September l.o, tluugi m excellent stand is sometimes oh. Lained when sown as late as Oct >bci 1. If clover is to be grown wiu. timothy, the clover seed may be fO\v on the field car'y in tlie spring am left on the surface of the soi: to b covered by freezing and thawing. Timothy seed always should be sown on a well-compacted see-:! bod, otherwise the conditions will be unfavorable to the proper development of tlie young plants. The quantity of seed to he usot will depend somewhat on the cor.dition of the soil, but on the average from 10 to 12 pounds per acre haw been found quite satisfactory. Ii mixed with clover, from 8 to 1( pounds of timothy and 10 pound: of red clover, or 5 pounds of red clover ar.(l }) pounds of alsikc clover are generali v recommenced. Management of Timothy .Meadows. Timothy usually is gr-iwn in rot tion with other crops, the ti:aoT?; [UKV.mor.ly occupying the la; d !> two or three years cUiripg each : c i:t lion. Where there is a goad siar. I ? timothy the yields may bo iacivaso* by top-dressing- the meadows will, j either farm manure or commcrein fertilizers. The former may bo spread on the meadow during the fall, winter, or early spring. Commercia' fertilizers should be spread on the land in the spring, soon after the growth of grass has commenced. When normal prices preail, nitrate cf soda may he used alone at the rate of 100 to 200 pounds per acre, or it may be used in combination with 150 t<> 250 pounds per acre of acid phosphate. Timothy meadows may be pastured to some extent after the hay crop has been harvested. When the meadow is to produce a hay crop the following year, however, care should be taken not to let the stock graze the grass very closely, and when the ground is soft animals should be kept off the meadow. Harvesting the Hay Crop. Timothy growing in a mixture consisting largely of the clover should be cut when the clover is in full bloom. When timothy is growing alone it should be cut as soon as possible after the plants have passed the stage of full bloom. If timothy is to be harvested for seed, it should be cut after most of the heads are mature and when the seed is beginning to shatter from the tips of the earliest spikes. It may be cut with a grain binder, shocked until cured, and thrashed with and ordinary thrashing machine. The yield of seed usually varies fr'om about 200 t"> 300 pounds per acre, though larger yields are sometimes obtained. If the ripe timothy is harvested without / BUSINESSMEN TRY I TO AVERT STRIKE | ? i Ask Congress to Direct U. S r Inquiry into R. R. Wages.

The result showed elearly that the business interests of the country are unalterably against perin if t n^r the transportation lines to he tied tip bv a national railroad strike that would paralyze the commerce of the country and indict enormous hisses on all classes of citizens. Chairman Wheeler of the Committee in charge of the matter for the Chamber of Commerce appear ed before the representatives of the railroads and their employes at their conference in New York in .lime, lie announced the result of the Committee's inquiry among the business men of the country and urged both parties to the dispute to get together J and adopt the course suggested. As a result the committee of managers representing the railroads submitted a proposal that the whole subject be placed before the Interstate Commerce Commission as requested by the representatives of the business interests.

One of the most common mistakes n the feeding of dairy cows on the j iu m is that the good cows are not jiven a sufficient quantity of feed ibovc that required for their phvsia! maintenance to obtain the maxinu:n quantity of milk they are capifcle of producing. Successful feedr.g of dairy cows involves the prodding of an abundant supply of palttublc, nutritious feed at a minimus.i ost and feeding in such a way as to \ceive the largest milk production '.em the feed. Feeding for profit Is ic fined as liberal feeding, or feeding i o the full capacity of the cow, in a! iew Farmers' bulletin of the depart-) ucnt, No. 74d, The Feeding of Dairy fows, which discusses many ot the : actors involved in economical feed- ( in?: h rom the standpoint of economic:-1 i nilk production, a dairy cow genera! y should not be fed more than ah svill consume without gaining* in Freight.
