Notes

The best fruits and the best vegeta-
bfes are the most profitable, the same as
the best stock and the best grain give
the best returns 20 the grower, and 1t is
only by having products Of a good quail
ity that the best profits are possible at
the present time.
II the hot bed or the plants In the
window are kept warm, there is always
more or less danger Of insect pests get
ting a start and doing considerable
damage,
In places where they will not be
molested by stock, grapevines can be
trained on the fences.
II the cows have been fed literally on
bran the manure is valuable for the
onion bed. as these plants require con-
siderable nitrogen.
A good assortment Of ornamental
trees, shrubs and flowers add not only
beauty but value TO the farmers home.
See that the grape trellis is In good
repair.
Trees planted for wtnd-break should
be Of a quick growing and dense habit
with as near perpetual foliage as pos
sible.
A handful OF wood ashes applied
around each blackberry cane. viii be
found very beneficial as a fertilizer.

NINE DISASTER.


One Hundred and FIFTY Lives Lost by An
other Calamity in Wales.
LONDON, March IA terrific explo-
sion occurred yesterday in the Morsa
colliery, In Glamorganshire, Wales,
which 1t is feared will be attended with
much loss OF life. Three hundred miners
are entombed and communication with
them Is impossible for the present.
Later advices from the Morsa colliery
are that 800 miners were entombed, but
that many have been rescued from the
workings nearest the main shaft. Most
OF those taken out are unhurt but sew
eral received fatal injuries. Heavy falls
of rock prevented the explorers from
reaching the more remote workings.
Tho latest estimate Is that $50 lives
have been lost Eight bodies horribly
mutitated, have been recovered from
the mine. Great excitement was caused
in the pit by rumor that appeals for
help could be heard from the entombed
men. The rescuers are constantly sue
cumbing to the effects of the gas and
are obliged to make a speedy retreat

The plaintiff. Blanchard, In his appeal
cited what he believed to be errors IA the
local decision, and among other things al.
legged that the executive part Of the Govern
ment In using the military to prevent citi-
zens from entering Oklahoma after the
indian title had beon e1tingushed, and be-
fore noon OF April 22, had placed strained
and unwarranted construction upon the act
Of Congress, and had thus Violated rights
guaranteed by the Constitution and laws
OF the United States. The defendant White
alleges In his appeal that for two years
prior to his entry he had been a deputy
United States marshal for the district OF
Kansas, but that without any solicitation or
previous intention on his part he was or
dered Into the Territory by Marshal Jones.
While there on duty, maintaining law and
order, and after twelve o'clock noon, April
22, he entered upon that land and made set
tiement In due compliance with law, and he
sets forth that his entry was prior In point
OF time to the settlement OF either OF the
other parties to the contest. He charges
that Blanchard was also In the Territory
before noon, April ~, as an employe OF the
Southern Kansas railway, although he dld
not locate upon the land until after White
himself had made settlement The defend
ant Cook, who also appealed, al egos In his
afiidavit that he did not enter prior to
tye.ve O'Clock, April z2, and that his settle
ment was the only one made In due compli-
ance with law.
The Commissioner, therefore, cancels
Whites entry and denies the application
