BEsSEMER MINES CLOSED.
Miners on the Range Are Face to
Face With Starvation.

BESSEMER, Mich, Aug. 2.-The
Tilden mine yesterday closed down
both day and night shifts of No. 9
shaft. This completes the shutdown
of the Rockefeller mines in this city.
Nos. 6, Z, s, 9, and 10 now employ just
enough men to keep the mine clear Of
water. In large number of mines
the pumps have been taken out and the
mines allowed to fill with water. Go
gebic Range mines are practically all
shut down at Hurley, Ironwood, Bes-
semer and Wakefield. There are less
than 1000 men at work on the range
where at one time over 5000 men were
employed. 1t is certain that a few
months of idleness will find hundreds
of families in restitution. The several
mining companies have allowed their
employees all unoccupied lands for use
as 'Pingree FARMS" but the army
worms have destroyed the last hope of
the miners of having at least vegeta-
bles to keep body and soul together
the coming winter. The poor fund is ex-
hausted, and there are a large number
of outstanding orders. The idle miners
and their families are therefore facing
starvation.

Minnesota MIX Law.


~ The Minnesota Dairy and Food Commits
sioner has sent out the following notice to
the patrons of creameries and cheese factor
les in this state:
The attention of all creamery patrons is
called to the fact that the laws of Minnesota
make it a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine
of from $40 to 500, for selling or bringing
to a factory:
1. Milk in dirty cans or vessels
2. Sour milk.
8. Unwholesome, tainted milk
4. Watered or SKINNED milk
5. Milk from diseased cow
'vy6. Milk from a cow fed on decayed or
any unwholesome food
z. Milk drawn from cow within fifteen
days before and four days after calving,
The delivery of any milk under such con-
of the law, but an imposition on other law
abiding patrons, disastrous to the reputation
OF the product of such mandatory, to the
high standing Minnesota butter has attained
and will surely reduce the profits of ali
patrons.

They Have BraveIy Defended Their
Territory for Generations.
Century Magazine.
For us the curtain rises upon the
Kaftr people when the Dutch settlers
spreading slowly eastward from the
neighborhood of the Cape, came in con-
tact, and presently into conflict with
them. Hostilities first broke out in
lf79, and the century that followed
there are reckoned no fewer than nine
Kaffir wars. The natives fought with
herceness comparable to that of the
North American Indians; and though
less skilled in the arts of ambush and
surprise, they were not less swift In
their movements or less fearless in
meeting death. Had the policy of the
colonial government been firmer and
more constant much fighting and suf-
fering might have been saved: yet some
OF it's errors were due with desire to
deal gently with the natives and to
stop an advance of conquest which
we now perceive was inevitable The
worst blunder was committed in 1879,
when Sir Bartle Frere attacked native
power more formidable than any which
had yet been encountered by British
troopS-that of the Zulus.
The ZuluS are a branch of the Dantu
race, eminent for their courage, Their
physical strenge and their absolute sub
mission to their king, Tshaka. That
able and relentless chief, who reigned
for about twenty years, and was MUIR
dered by his brothers in 1923, had, by
his force of will and military talents
and the system of strict drill and dis
cipline which he introduced, subdued
all his neighbors and devastated vast
tracts of country, slaughtering and
chasing away their inhabitants His

After his fall there remained only two
strong native kingdoms south of the
Zambesi.
One Of the kingdoms, that of Loben.
gula, king of the Matabeles, was con-
quered in 1898 by the British South
African company, and the other, that
of Gungunhaha, whose territories lay
northeast of the Transvaal State, has
within the last six months December
1895 and January, 1886 persisted at the
hands of the Portuguese. With many
tribes there has been no fighting at all
Awed by the boldness of the white
man, these less warlike tribes accepted
the rule Of the fntruding settlers with
scarcely murmur, and in many
cases looked on them as protectors
Nearly all the hard fighting in south
Africa has been with the Zulus, to
whom the Matabeles belong ethnolo-
gically and with the Rosa clans on the
south coast, while the Beehuanas and
Ba-Rolongs and the Tongas, and the
tribes Of Mashonaland as far as the
ZambeSi, have, as rule, submitted
promptly and quietly.

Preservation of the siIo.

1.-The deterioration of most silo Innings was
formerly very rapid from decay or crumbling,
but recently it has been less noticeable since
the silos have been better made and filed
with ripper MATERIAL says Bulletin No. 1902
of the New York Experiment station
Yearly plastering covering cement lin
-ings with light coat of cement whitewash
prevents largely the injurious action of the
silage juices. Metal Innings have not been
found satisfactory. The cheaper metals cor
rode rapidly, and paint has not seemed to
adhere well. Ventilation of the double walls
of the wooden silo and an occasional coating
of preservative on the inner surface retards
decay. Coal tar gas tar is highly recon-
mended by some authorities. This is thor
oughly applied while hot, to the inner sur
face. Each year for several years past the
inner surface of the wooden lining of the
silo at this station has been painted with a
mixture of parts, by weight, of parafine, 2
parts rosin, and 1 part linseed oil. These
substances melted together and the mix
ture applied while hot, with brush. The
proportions of these constituents have been
varied somewhat without apparent change
In the result This mixture is iniammable
and should be carefully handled about the
fire. The wooden lining thus treated, after
several years service has a hard surface
and there is no decay noticeable. A wood sur
face not treated would hardly have endured
for this time without decay"

Protection for Cows.

Ohio Farmer
A smart practical fellow, who worked Tor
me three years, dropped onto the device wnlch
appears in this article. 1t was during tlme
when flies were extremely bad that this fell
low who thought to save both his heao ana
his shins hunted up one OF those immense
oat dust sacks from the oat mills, ana rip
ping down one side, threw the affair over
I the back of the COW with the closed end over
her rear and pulling it's length well over her
shoulders so that the entire body was COW
cred.
For few minutes the COW struggled with
her tail in vain effort to use it over his de-
Hfenseless head, as she had got in the nablt
of doing flies or no flies. On finding that
there were no flies to brush off, she quoted
down and from that date there was no
trouble about flies in our stable at milking
time The device answers so we'll that each
mixer has a cover and never forgets to use
il.
The closed end practically keeps the cow
from switching her tail in manner to annoy
the mixer which prevents many ugly things
happening on wet summer evening When
the mixer might contemplate attending
prayer melting or his Christian Endeavor.
The presence Of this cheap and easily con-
trived affair beats tying cows tail to ones
boot strap or buttonhole all to pieces, and
we recommend it to all dairymen, and espec-
tally those who are endeavoring to lead
haftor life
