cave-in occurred at noon today at st.

lumber. From 10000 to $1,000 feet of
heavy mine timbers went down the
breach into the st. Nicholas colliery.
The cave-in came to the back doors of
three blocks of houses and the fami-

would occur, have vacated the prem

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

If not done before, now is a good
time to preserve and turn up the grape
vines.
Better results can be received by feed
ing the young stock sepaI ate from the
old.
With all stock, two extremes, over
feeding and undertaking. are to be
avoided.
All animals that die Of contagious
disease should be burned as. soon as
possible.
1t is rarely good plan to change
the line of production, simply because
prices are low.
A falling appetite is generally the
first Indication that farm animal Is
out of condition.
Considerable of the diseases among
farm stock are directly traceable to in
judicious feed and care.
Either milk or calves that would
ultimately make large beefers, should
be the object in keeping cows.
The ewes that are expected to lamb
soon should be given plenty Of oppor-
tunity to take outdoor exercise.
1t does not pay to feed the products
OF the farm to ungrowthy stock,
much less to buy feed for such animals.
Farmers Unisn.

In many respects it ls more profitable
in the end for poor farmer to raise
crops that can be sold Immediately for
cash, SO that he will have ready money
tn pay for the necessities Of life. In
studying the crops to be raised for an
other season, the question Of ready sales
for cash should be considered in its
true light II the crops must be car
ried over for long time to sell for
their true value, it may be that some
other will suggest itself as a substitute.
The cry is raised every fall that the
farmers, in their short-sighted way,
rush their crops to market at once
in order to secure some ready money,
and thereby receive less for them than
they could obtain later. In some cases
this may be short-sighted policy, but
[ believe In the majority of cases it is
not. Realizing the value Of the cash
to pay accumulated bills, drawing very
often heavy interest," the farmer does
cot make such a sacrifice in selling his
goods as many outsiders imagine
