HAt Plymouth, Pennsylvania, on
the 9th inst, fire broke ont in a coal
shaft. Over two hundred men were in
the shaft at the time. They had not
been rescued the morning Of the 7th,and
it was feared they would be dead when

was through the main opening, and that
was filed with burning timbers and de-
bris of the flames.
LArER,-An. account Of the disaster is
published in this issue which says the
200 poor fellows in the mine were dead
when found. No words can describe

How COOP FARMERS SAVE MONEY.
They keep good papers aud real them.
They keep an account Of farm Opera
tions.
They do not leave their implements
scattered over the farm, exposed to the
snow, rain and heat.
They repair their tools and buildings
at the proper time, aud do not suffer
subsequent threshold expenditure Of
time and money, They use their mon
ey ju1iciously, and they do rot attend
auction sales to purchase all kinds of
trumpcry because it is cheap.
They see that their feuces are wei!
repaired, and their cattle are not found
grazing in the meadows, or grain fields,
or orchards. ...
They do not refuse to make correct
experiments in a small way, of many
new things.
They plant their fruit trees well, care
for them, and Of course get good crops.
They practice economy by giving their
stock good shelter during the winter,
also good food taking all that is unsouud
half rotten, or mouldy out.
They do not keep tribes of cats or
snarl ng dogs around their premises,
who eat more in a month than they are
worth in their whole life time.
Lastly, they read the advertisements,
know what is going on, and frequently
sa7e money by it.

How TO HAVE Coon MEADOWS
Mr. N. Platt, of Bradfor County, Pa

as follows:-

grain and to timothy grass and red clio

less than eight years, and 1 frlquetly
let it lie much longer time. l have
a'meadow now which has been moved
for six cen scces sivc years; it was never
better than now. In fact, my meadows
under the right treatment grow better
when they grow older. I do it BY re-
turning to meadow all the IN ,Lu Q the
hay made that was taken from it, and
sowing busbel Of gypsum per acre each
year. ln that way the yield of grass is
heavier and 6uer aud ricl er as the sod
thickens. | use manure only for top
dressing the meadows; in that way /
get double price for it. 1t produces as
much worth of grass as it would in
grain and also reproducs Itself again in
the turf My tulf, when ready for
plouging under, is a solid body of grass
roots twelve inches deep or more, and
so thick on the top that soil cannot be
seen. ] consider one such turf, when
turned under, equal to 100 tous of first
class barn yard manure per acre.
Land so otteU'ploughed for grain gives
up to the grain AL the bone, beef and
tallow there is in it; consequent
