WHY THE HENS DO NOT LAY.

One of the puzZllng questions that
often arise IN the experience of persons
raising fowl is why their hens are not
laying as we'll as neighbours, who is far
more fortunate in the weekly additions
made to his egg basket. From the di-
rectiOns given in poultry journals and by
manufacturers of specifics for egg pro-
ductiOn many persons start out with the
confident eXpectat on Of uninterrupted
success IN raising chickens and eggs, to
find at last that the business has for some
reason become Improbable.
The truth is, there is a variableness in
the laying of fowls under what, at first
sight, appears to be very similar condi-
tiOns, where none Of the directions given
for making the hens lay appear to have
the desired effect. In purchasing hens
for laying particular attention should be
given to the color and appearance of
their combs, which should be bright and
red. Where the comb has a dull, sickly
color, and kind of fiattened-down ap-
pearance, no amount of feeding or care
will force the laying of eggs as long as
these conditions exist. Again, the legs
should be smooth and clean and free from
scales or the appearance of spurs, both of
which Indicate that the hen has passed
the laying age. The cock should be
bought out of a different flock and be as
purely bred as possible. The principal
causes of failure in egg production are
believed to be, first, keeping hens that
are too old; second, breeding in and in,
or a failure to introduce new blood from
sources entirely outside of ones own
flock, and third, keeping the flock too
long in the same runs.

GREAT MINE DISASTER.
A Hundred and Fifty Men Entombed
in an English COlliery.

A cable dispatch from London says: An
explosion occurred in a col1iery at Abersy
chan, in Monmouthshire Three hundred min
ers were imprisoned and for several hours no
communication could be had with them.
An opening was finally effected, and at noon
many of them had been rescued. Rescuing
parties are still searching for those remain
ING in the mine It Is feared that it will be
impossible to rescue the miners who are still
imprisoned. Up to o'clock in the afternoon
forty bodies have been taken from the mine.
The cause Of the explosion was the flooding
of pits adjacent to that in which the explO-
sion occurred. By the flooding of these pits
gas was dislodged and forced into the pit,
where work was in progress, and there it ig-
nited and exploded. There must have been
a great quantity Of gas, as the explosion had
tremendous force. 1t was heard at distance
of mile. All the gearing IN the shaft was
thrown into the air as if from the mouth of
a volcano, and simultaneously vast bright
volume of fame shot upward, followed by
dense heavy column of smoke.
The first party of resCuerS organized en-
deavored TO penetrate the pit through the
old workings. They got far enough TO be
able to see groups of the dead, but
they could not reach them, and were
compelled to retreat by the suffocating
volumes of smoke that rose in that
direction Upon the first appearance OF
diminution in the volume of smoke reScuers
went down the main shaft and reached the
scene of the catastrophe. They rescued
large number of miners yet alive, but all
very badly burned, and they brought out
sixty dead bodies, nearly all SO multilated
that the recognition of their identity is i'm
possible. The latest estimate Of the dead is
15O.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
KEEPING ONIONS.

A prime necessity in keeping onions,
whether it be the sets or those full
crown, is to keep them dry and cool. To
keep we'll, the bulbs should be fully ma
trred and be pulled at dry time. They
should also be fully developed, round
and plump. Those who raise the sets in
large quantities for sale, keep them on
otaIIed racks in cool rooms that can be
ventilated without freezing. A quantity
NAV be kept on the garnet floor, covered
with old quilts or blankets; or onions,
either large or small, may be stored upon
straw on the barn floor and covered with
straw or hay. In either case, freezing
will be light and will not hurt them, if
they are left to thaw out gradually in the
spring. --Nes0 York World.

Il is wise resolution. and We trust there
will be a large gathering at each OF those
places. and respectful hesring will be ac-
corded each candidate. The people are the
sovereigns. and those who seek to become
their servants for the next two years should

There are three essentials which each OF

character; second. intelligence; third, un-
doubted and unquestioned fcalty to the
party; and in considering this iast essential,
services rendered to the party should not
be ignored.
Let every voter at tho primary to be held
on the 18th Of September ask himself the
question, who among the candidates are
best qualified aud most fitted for the posi-
ton, and who will serve the State and

We are engaged, and VIC believe our people
