A Remarkable UpheaVaI In Prince
GEORGE,

Some days since while Mr. Gait
ling was plO~ing Oh his farm IN
Prince George county, "a short dis.
lance from Petersburg, on the APP.
pomattOx river, he was suddenly
startled Ivy loud explosion. Mr.
Gattling thought that the explO
SION had occurred on govern
ment tug, and WAS about to call
to Mr.. Morton Riddle, who WAS on
the tug, to ask him what had caus-
ell the explosion, but before he
could get tho words out Of his
mouth Mr.. Riddle called out to Mr.
Gattllng aud told him that there
hal been an explosion down In a
rdvine "A short distance from him
(Nr. Gattlllg) aud that the force
of II had cut of the limbs OF the
trees. Mr.. GAttllug then vent TO
the ravlne in the direction where
the explosion had occurred and to
his surprise found that the earth
had been torn up aud all aperture
made to n depth or SIX feet and
about fifteen feet in width. Out
of the aperture made by the ex'
plosion there followed q bold stream
of water like substance which Mt,
Gattling says tasted and smelled
like kerosene oil. Dir. GatthnR
has had some ofthe liquid sent To
Philadelphia for analysis.

The Ewes and Lambs,

The following seasonable sug'
gestions are furnished by The
Farmers Rerielc The ewes and
lambs are benefited by frequent
change Of pasture aud should have

When the grass aud the clover get
ahead of the eve flock as they
should be allowed to do, turn the
cattle in and put the ewes on pas
tn'es new. 1t IS a peculiar and
interesting fact that nature has sp-
pareutly fitted the different grass
eating animals TO crop the heritage
at the several stages of its growth.
The sheep is a close nlbbleT, the
COW takes a full wlsp at each bite,
while the horse seemingly is we'll
satisfied with the tops. Freshly
grown grass, then, is the most
palatable and nutritious for the
ewes, and they thrive much better
upon such pasture than on land
where they are continuously con-
fined. It is a mistake TO suppose
that weeds are good enough for
sheep aud that hazel brush is all
the relish they require in such
dieling.

THE cow ON THE FARM.

We think the COW on the farm is
one of the most neglected of our
domestic animals. We don't mean
on the dairy farm, but on the "av-
erager farm. And for this reason
we must. or we think we must,
keep few cows TO supply our
families with milk, cream aud but
ter; if We get enough for our use,
ami only occasionally have to buy
some butter, we are satisfied.
Bnt we are making loss all the
time, because the cows are costing
us more than they are worth. This
can I've easily proved by taking
the ield OF the average COW; 1t
will not run over 125 pounds Of
butter per year, and at the average
price such butter sells at, il costs
more than it comes to.
The remedy for this is simple
/ get better cows. lyon say you
cannot afford to buy good butter
cows, then we say that yon can
afford 10 raise them. Breed your
best cows to a Jersey bull, the
best one you can ind, and the re-
suit will be a COW that may double
the butter yield, and a COW that
will milk ten or eleven months in
the year, instead OF seven or eight.
Don't breed Jour cows to a scrub
bull. because he is near and the
service tee is only dollar head,
ont send 10 registered ball and
paw five or ten dollars il necessary.
This is not theory, but is actual
common sense, and We have seen 1t
put in practice successfully and
know that 1t is good advice. Now,
with good COWS the yield OF
butter will soon increase far beyond
he family wants, and the surplus
can be sold at profit. This grade
Jersey butter, if made right, will
bring a better price than the OrdI'
nary scrub butter made IN q
"scrub' way, and the cows being
profitable, will receive better care
in fact, it will soon be found that
the COW is one of the best paying
farm animals. Better keep one
good COW than three poor ones.
IL is the weH.fed pig, COW, sheep
or field that feeds the pocket book.
It's not always the biggest ami.
nal that makes the biggest profit.
Even in animal industry the most
valuable goods are sometimes done
up in small packages.
alt is never TOO late to mend
But how about the pasture fence

different sizes, so as to fit the feet
of both large aud small horses.
