CORRECT ACTION.

Thu Miners Union at Virginia. having
ipstitu,ed q searching investigation and
inquiry into the causes which led to the
death Of Fogarty. Bsrna and Pau. the
three members Of this society who were
killed in the Gould 4 Curry mine last
Monday evening. have passed a series
Of very appropriate resolutions In the
matter, which can Be seen In our advsr-
tising columns to-day. They believe
from investigation that the Responsible
ity Of the said calamity rests upon X. l..
Meyers, foreman Of the mine. and that
he has treated the miners under his
charge in . tyrsnnicai mannsr. utterly
regardless Of tho safety OF their lives.
In view Of this. they have c0mmuniea'
ted with the oficers OF the Gould i Cur
~, submitting the advisability Of TO-
moving Meyers from his position as
foreman, believing the interest OF all
csnesrnsd will b subssrved by 80 do

This action on the part Of the Miners
Union is eminsntly proper and correct.

for the interests and welfare Of its men,
bsrs and especially to guard well their
lives and health as far As possible. This

rule and direct his labors. especially
amid the psrils and dangers OF his

The possibility of carrying on success

Hellmann, who shows that probably q
greater efficiency can be attained than in
Western Europe. He also calls attention
to the possibility of predicting the inva-

southwest winds are carried over Algeria

severest storms. A similar duty has been
frequently urged by DR.. Packard and
others upon our Signal Service; and in
this connection it may be we'll to call
attention to theoretical explanation OF
the grasshopper migrations which has
lately been proposed by Able, and which
is said to explain most of the phenomena
that have been observed. According to
this meteorologist, the grasshopper is an
insect at home and comfortable only in a
rather dry atmosphere, and possibly a
diminished atmospheric pressure; air that
is either too dry or too moist is equally
liable to make the insect uncomfortable
and in either case he seeks relief in fight,
not knowing whether he shall go. Now
the very dry winds are the westerly winds.
that bear him rapidly eastward to the
Missouri and Mississippi valleys. The
verv moist winds are the south and south.
east winds of the Mississippi valley, tSat
bear him on his progeny in the next year
back to his original breeding grounds. It
will be curious to show whether this
hypothesis holds good for the African as

HOUSE AND FARM. |
PonllrY Note Q.

When turkeys are two months old they
can successfully Withstand the severest
weather, if dry. In wet weather they
should be confined in yard under cover
Good settlers among hens seldom or
never leave their nests more than once a
day, provided they are well fed when
they come off; while they seldom remain
away longer than from quarter TO half
an hour, rarely exceeding the latter peri
cd, unless food has not been supplied and
they have to forage for themselves,
''Dry feed for your chicks" says the
Poultry World, and among other things
adds: TT is absolutely indispensable that
the cooked mash given TO any young
chickens should be mixed dry. By this
we mean to convey the suggestion that
the real mixture should be ofa crumbly
consistency rather than that of the swashy,
soggy kind of muck that nine out of ten
careless or inexperienced persons give to
the young broods in their infancy"
The best of all soils on which to estab-
fish poultry yard is gravel or sand rest
ing on substratum of gravel. If the
soil is clayey, or from other causes reten.
tive of wet, the whole should be well
drained. This is essential to success, as
wet soil is more inducive than any othe,
circumstance of cramp, Group and Other
diseases.
