Not many weeks ago a strike involv

agreed that the union and the maste:

should be selected. When it was fount
that one man was on both lists it wai
voted to make him sole arbitrator. Hi
accepted, went into the case exhaua
lively, rendered a decision that covered
the minutest detail, both sides heartllj

Mr. Carnegie. The thing most need
iug to lie done, In Mr. White's opinion
Is the education of young men for pub

to be lawyers or physicians or electrl

In about twenty-five universities. Thj

Care of Work Ilorc.
Food and care of work horses It.
warm weather is a subject that Is wor
thy of extensive discussion. Ordinar
ily farm horses will do better If turn
ed to grass at night than if kept on
dry feed. It Is .much better for tin-it
feet, and the change from dry to greeit
food Is beneficial In every way. On
of the most common mistakes made i
that of overloading, making two horse
do the work of three. This iu the lout!
run is not economy. The majority ot
teamsters injure their horses by fi-ed
ing too much hay, while in the case ot
road animals mistakes are ofien load
by driving Km hard when starting out
on a Jou-ney. One should start off al
a slow Jog. gradually increasing tin
speed. If Ihis is necessary, after a mil
or two lias been covered. On the road
or in the field, it is usually well tc
lessen the pace somewhat just beforf
unhitching, as the animal will I lien
gel much more good from the food con
sinned. Horses should be watered a
frequently as possible, and it is much
Itetter if they are made to take thf
bulk of their drink before meals rathei
than after. I urine warm weather th
horses will do much more work if thej
are given water some time during lh
middle of the forcnooi" and afternoon.
