The TigIess Disaster-PartlcuiH
Ofthc ExplosiOn.

The TigIess Observation-Disclosures
ofthe Explosion.
NEw YORK, April ll.-Captain Bart
lett, Of the whaling steamer Panther,
arrived at St. Johus, New Foundland,
yesterday, and gave the following &C
count OF his meeting with the Tigreas,
and stor, Of terrible disaster on board
that vessel as told him by her officers:
On Friday, the Ord inst, the Panther
was iu longitude 81 degrees and Is
ninutes west, and latitude so degrees
and 23 minutes north, on her return to
St Johns. The lookout reported the
steamer apparently moving under sail
with Ler flags at half
mast. Alsr signalling her l went on
board myself, when | discovered her to
be the steamer Tigress of Polaris fame.
Her captain and chief officers were on
deck. | was then informed that on
Thursday April %, ct 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, the vessel was shaken all
over by tho terrific explosion Of her
boiler which created great terror ard
confusion. as the escaped steam com.
pletely enveloped every compartment
below. Iu consequence all the steam
facilities had been destroyed, aud they
had then been under sail against head
wind "a hours. When reached the
deck OF The Tigress. number OF men
were making up and mailing together
rough pine wood boxes. asked the
commander what they were Tor and he
said they were designed to receive the
bodies OF the uu uortunate men who had
been killed by the accident. On the day
Of the explosion the weather was dread
ful cold, with a etiff bres re blowing and
q heavy swell; number OF the men
had gone below after watch and had
turned il on top OF the boilers for
the sake OF the warmth. Nineteen OF
the mea were repcsing IN this way
when tne crash occarred, and some Of
them were scaIded beyond recognition,
Two engineers were on duty at the
time ard both were killed.

diseases In Cows.

At the last meeting OF the Western
Reserve Dairymen's Association, one
Of the subjects brought II? vas that OF
disease in COWS, the causes ard RENE
dies, and the following statements
were elected;
Mr.. Richmond attributed many OF
the diseases TO dogs. No dairyman
needs dog to drive his cows. He be-
lieves that abortion among COWS was
was largely tracesble to running or
fast driving. As to milk fever, II
always occurs in June or July. His
recipe for this diaease is to commence
feeding the COW some three weeks pri-
or to calying, about two spoonsfui OF
salt-petre per week. He sometimes
bleeds them. Mr.. II. had never
known any to be attacked, 80 treated
When cows have let the fever, he
gives them smart-weed tea, and binds
the weed on their backs. Mr.. Ha,-
mon said his experience with late
mixers is 10 let them ran IN wood
lot, and never drive cows prior to
csiving. He never loses cows, while
his neghbors VINO bleed, physic, and
diet their late mllkers. lose about half.
Mr.. Strong hai los. many cows IN
Pas. years hy milk lever. He had
q COW get well that was violently at
tackled with it. he considers good,
pure water an essential preventive.
On the suhiec: of hollow horn, NJ.
Strong saws that the remedy is 10 tie on
SOAP and salt about the horns.
Mr.. Odds claims that horns are
always hollow. There may be ms!-
ter in them that should be got out.
The only case that he ever mad Tor
treatment, he bored into the horn and
turned in warm water, and then plug
ged up the hole.
Mr.. Taylor said this disease is gen
erallv known as "hornail.' 1t Is o
sudden disease in some instances. He
uses soap and salt, and generally puts
q little turpeutine between the horns

of saIrpe,re into the cut. lie frequent.

Mr.. Richmond says: There is an
other disease, do not know what 1t is
called, the tail ct the lower extremity
becomes limpsy and devoid Of blood.
Ny remedy is 10 split the lower end OF
the tail, and pat in salt and pepper,
and bind up the wound. For "bloat"

Dairyiug Interest.

The dairy interest now represents
an annual value OF nearly FIVE hum
jred millions OF dollars. The cheese
man ulacture Of the country is expand
ing with great rapidity, and its expau'
sion is but the natural consequence Of
vast improvement in quality. The re-
uowned Cheshire and Cheddar cheese
Of England is to some extent met and
vanouished upon its own ground by
American cheese. Many brands OF
American made are sought for with
ayidi,y by English dealers. Twenty
wears ago American cheese was a drug
in the English market. But the factory
system has not only changed all that,
but it has from its Inherent value
and excellence forced its recognition
and adoption by English cheese max
era. And this ls but the beginning OF
the existence OF the cheese industry OF
this Country, for the home consump'
ton has hardly as yet been created.
TO stimulate this growth and encourage
an extensive home market, the atten-
ton of dairymen needs now to be turn
ed, and the tastes aud demands OF con-
sumers must be learned and met.
As regards butter, dairymen have
much to lealn, especially those OF the
West. The quality OF the butter that
comes to market is in large part
wretchedly bad. This is the eoDse-
queuce OF faulty feeding, Of careless
churning, but in far greater part OF inn
proper packing. The produce dealers
are also to blame 20 some extent for
this. 1t ia true that low priced butter
is needed for portion OF the consumers
who are poor and can only afford to
buy cheap article; but it costs no
more money 10 make fair tub Of but
ter than a poor one, while its value is
about double that OF the poor one
The secret is almost entirely in clean
liness-clean feeding, clean milking,
clean keeping and churalng, and last,
but really the mes, important of all,
clean packing. We are glad to believe
that the meetings of the dsirymen will
gradually lead 10 improvements in
these respects -Agicul!Talst

The Wool Trade Prospects for the

INDIANAroLIs, April 1.-THE Ma
Eonal crop Reporter, formerly Of jack
souville, Ills, Issued its first number
from this city to-day. The following
is au abstract 0! the leading inorma-
ton PRESENTED From estimates Of cor.
respondents dated March 18th, in rea'
ton to the comparative number and
condition OF the sheep 10 be
sheared this sheariug, and the
probable comparative weight OF
fleeces, deductions are made as
follows: The States of liiinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, OHIO and Mississippi reported OF
sheep OF all kinds in 1873 a total OF
nearly l0,0l6,000 The estimated in
crease over last year in the number to
be sheared averages for the eight States
II per ceu,, and assuming the rate o.
increase in number of all kinds to have
been the same, the result is an aggre-
ga of triGe over 100000 on 81
600 sheep. In obtaining the prob
able yield of wool the rate o.
81 pounds per fleece, and made the ba;
sls which places the total clip last year
in the eight States named at q little
more than $500 600 pounds. The es"
tins tes Of the Crop RsporlsrS cores
popdent indicate tor this year an aver
age falling off in the weight OF fleecss
OF 3 . 10 per cent Taking the slight
gain in numbers and the loss in the
weight OF fleece, the result leaves
probable shortage This year in the
States named amounting 20 little over
|, ,050,000 pounds OF wool The past
winter has been generally very favora-
BILE 10 sheep-breediUg, and, while the
average condition on March l5 was
over one per cert better than at the
same date last year, the increase Of
lambs has been considerable greater. as
compared with the previous winter.
