A FATAL SNOWSLIDB.
Several Women and a Boy
Buried i'm an Avalanche.
Digging Out the People From
Under the Mass Of Snow.

A fatal and destructive snowslide has oc-
CURED at Sierra City, Cal, by which six
woman and boy were killed; two other
people were seriously hurt, and several
houses and the Catholic church were wrecked.
The slide began at the Sierra Buttes
iume and swept with terrific force down
the valley, carrying everything in its path
before it. Stout trees were snapped off st
the ground like pine sticks. Several peo-
pie had narrow escapes from death, as the
slide came without the slightest warning
1t was believed that Chinaman and little
girl were still buried in the mass Of snow
and debris
Fears were entertained that another slide
would occur at any moment. and the people
were in great state Of anxiety.
As soon as possible after the slide occur ed
a number of men began the work of digging
out the unfortunate people who had been
caught in it, and III a few hours had taken out
the bodies of Mrs. Rich, her two daughters
and son; Miss Ryan, of Downieyille, and
Mrs. l. L. Mooney and her daughter, Miss
Ethel LangtOn. The two last named were
still breathing when removed from the snow,
but efforts at resuscitation proved unavail-
ing The search for others was still going on
when this despatch was received, and it was
feared that more persons have been swept out
of existence in the avalanche.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Long and hard pulling makes wind
broken horses.
Charred corn is good form of char
coal for fowls.
Regularity in feeding and work makes
long-lived horses.
Plant deciduous trees and shrubs if
the ground is not frozen; they will start
early in spring and get ahead of warm
weather.
''Like master like man." and like
owner like COW is just as true. If you
are quick tempered and easily provoked,
and allow your COWS to receive the full
benefit of your example, they will be
pretty sure to follow it.
1t is possible to rear pigs so as to have
seventy-five per cent. OF lean meat in
them. This can be accomplished by
feeding bran, middlings and skim-milk,
or bran and middlings. Hogs need salt
as much as any other animal.

twice a week serves as & laxative and
blood purifier to the hens. The sulphur

The wide-awake farmer always keeps a
number of well-bred brood mares that
can do the farm work and produce good
colts as well. They cost no more to keep
and they work as we'll as geldings or
mules that are unproductive and rapidly
deteriorate in value.
ch lo ~
place. shed or barn-assOrted and
packed in clean barrels, and kept out of
cellar as long as it is possible to do so
without freezing. A covering of hay or
corn stalks will afford some protection
Unfortunately for the safe storing of fruit,
most cellars are too warm.
Until farmers have generally learned
that good roads are as necessary to their
success as good crops, the country roads
will be generally bad; and no legislation
will make them otherwise, unless it be by
levying direct tax for road purposes
and appointing official road makers with
salaries, whose duties shall be the max
ing of roads and keeping them in repair.
When fowls are killed before being
sent to market, it is best not to pack
them as soon as they are plucked. 1t is
best to let poultry. hang at least twenty
four hours after being picked before
packing, SO as to allow the animal heat
to entirely pass off. After picking, wash
off the bloodstains with a cloth and
warm water in a careful manner, for if
any are left to harden and become dry,
their removal will prove very trouble
some.

MONEY FROM SHEEP II WINTER.

To be successful IN raising early lambs
several things are essential:
First, warm, dry barns, well venti-
lated. Barns 50 warm that water will
never freeze in them are not so difficult
to secure even with old open buildings.
Get some poles or old boards and nail
them on the inside, filing between with
straw or poor hay. To be sure this will
not make a fancy barn, but it will Sc
cure warmth and cost but trifie.
Second, good feeding, with variety
of food at different times. To make
enough milk to keep the lambs growing,
the ewes must have some succulent food
like beets, silage or apples, as we'll as a
liberal grain ration. The regularity of
feeding is also important, for, if the
sheep do not receive their food at the
time they should, they will be uneasy,
walking around, beating, and in every
way Indicating that they are impatient
for it,
Third, their food must be kept clean,
and no dirty troughs or drinking tubs
can be allowed, for they are very par
ticular about having their food clean.
Lastly, one of the most important con-
ditionS is good care. The man who goes
rushing about the pens with great deal
of noise, will not make good shepherd.
Sheep are very timid, and they will be
nervous and frightened all the time.
When you see a man sitting down in a
pen with the lambs climbing upon him,
or nibbIing his coat, and the sheep eating
or lying with half-shut eyes, chewing
their ends, you may be pretty sure that
you have the right man to take care of
sheep.-Ne0 Englu'd Homestead.

writer tried to show that horses did not
feel pain, rs he had seen a horse grazing
in pasture while dragging its broken
leg after it. No doubt that beasts are
less sensitive to pain than man, just as
some animals are much less sensitive than
others. For example, we have seen a
pig bitten again and again by a rattle
snake before the pig could put the ser
pent beyond the ability to bite by eating
it. The pig appeared to suffer no injury
from the poisonous wounds inflicted, and
evidently enjoyed the meal which was the
result of the conflict. On the other hand,
we have seen a high-strung, spirited,
well-bred Kentucky horse come to his
death by a single bite from rattlesnake.
The point we would make is this: It
would often be much better for the health,
and decidedly better for the comfort of
our domestic animals, If those who have
the care of them would occasionally ''put
yourself in his place" and ask themselves:
FNow, would you like it if you were
horse, a bullock, or even a pig?"
AS already indicated, it is one Of the
functions of food-not the only, but an
imports7t one-to keep up the heat of
the body. This is true of ourselves, as
we'll as our animals. As the weather be-
comes colder, we aid the food in keeping
us warm, by a change to our warmer
clothing. The animals do this, to Ger
tain extent, by thickening up the cover
ing of hair, fur, feathers, ETC., with
which nature provides them. If those
who clip their horses in midwinter, and
let them stand unbIanketed, could take
the opinion of the animals, what do they
think it would be- But then it looks so
pretty to see horse neatly clipped. Nails
and hammer properly applied will often
convert a rickety barn into warm one,
and save hay and other food. Do not
wait until one of the best horses is
reported lame from fall on an icy road
before looking to the condition of the
feet. Have all the horses properly
shod and kept sharp all winter. 1t
is cruel to expose the animals
to the chance of painful falls. Groom
ing should not be sighted in cold
weather. Grooming in the stall is bad
for the horse, and the man who does it
cannot get around the animal to do thor
Ough work. In SIuShy weather, Wnen
the roads are bad with wet snow, give
the legs of the horses a thorough rub
bling, first with wisp of straw and af-
terward rub dry with piece of old car
pet, or some such fabric. Give the heels
especial attention.
Solled bedding should be removed
from the stalls in the morning, and not
rat1rnn6 until late IN the afternoon On
pleasant days expose it at a sunny place
in the barnyard. Have shed where it
can be kept under cover. Fortunate is
is he who is not obliged to be saving
with his bedding. He need not be who
followed our advice to gather forest
leaves in abundance. Soiled bedding
gives off ammoniacal vapors, which are
injurious to the eyes of the animals, as
well as their health generally. -Amaeri-
can Agriculturist.

BOYS STIFLED BY SMOKE.
A New Years Horror at a London
PauDer School.

The boys section of the paupers' school IN
the district of Forest Gate London, took
fire in the night while the inmates were
asleep and was burned with terrible re-
Suits twenty-six of the boys who were
in the upper stories being sufocated before
they could be rescued. Fifty-eight other
boys were safely taken from the burning
building amid terrible excitement. Two Of
the matrOnS Of the Institution escaped by
sliding down the water pipes. Several Of
the boys escaped in the same way. The SUI
perintendent of the school repeatedly rushed
through the flames and brought out NUM-
Der of inmates. There were 600 persons III
the institution.
The bodies of those who were suffocateI
were carried to the main hall of the build
ing, which was still profusely decorated With
Christmas green's
The fire was caused by an overheated stove.
The female department, in which were $50
girls, was not touched by fire.
Further reports of the fire show that it
originated in a clothing room beneath the
boys dormitory. The smoke and flames is
suing from the stove flue alarmed those
sleeping on the top floor and they made
their escape. The fire engines were
promptly on the spot. The employees of
an adjacent railway station rushed to
the scene and rendered valuable assistance.
The cries of the boys who were unable to es-
cape were terrible. The bodies of two boys
were badly burned but it is believed that
they were suffOcated before they were
burned. The ages of the dead range from
seven to twelve years

STARVED HIS WIFE,
Horrible Brutality Brought to Light
at an Inquest.

A terrible tale Of brutality was brought to
light at the inquest on the body of Mrs. Eliza
Holbrook, wife of James E. Holbrook, Justice
Of the Peace and a wealthy farmer of Peter
seventy years of age and feeble, left her
home, about two miles from Havelock,
to go to a neighbours house, and
few days afterward her body, scantily
clad, was found in a swamp about three
miles fro-n home. The evidence given
at the inquest showed that Holbrook kept
his wife badly clothed and ill-fed, locking up
the provisions from her, and that he baat
her s1amefully. The verdict censurei Hoi-
brook, and when the body OF his VIE was
turned over TO him he at first refused to
bury it, but finally consented 10 DO so when
he learned that otherwise it would be turned
over to a medical college. The feeling against
HoIbrook was intense, and the people were
clamoring for his prosecution.
