Henrtrcnding scenes.

Brownsville, Dec. 3.-(By Associat-
ed Press. )-The relatives of the en-
tombed miners are crowded around the
mouth of the drift. The scenes are
heartrending, wives are crying in de-
spair and children are weeping for
their fathers. A rescuing party imme-
diately set to work. 1t is thought a
road will be made into the mines in a
few hours. AT present there is no idea
what caused the disaster.
Word from Braznell,I by train, SAYS
that only one man has come out of the
mine. The men could be heard talk
ing at the bottom of the shaft. The
mine boss went down but has not re-
turned, ara it is supposed he and the
men have been overcome by the after
damp. as all sound ceased to come from
the bottom.
Further Particulars.
Brownsville, Pa. Dec. 23.-(By Asso-
ciated Press 1.-The explosion at the
Braznell mine was terrific The main
shaft was totally wrecked and rendered
helpless. -Four cages of men had gone
down to work. On the fourth trip the
explosion occurred. The cage was
blown with terrific force to the top OF
the shaft, and fell back to the bottom,
completely blocking access to the mine.

mine and found on. top of the shaft.
Two men in the underground mule

supposed to- be on fire, as dense vol

party went to the hpttomeof Sflle air

almost dead, so there is, very little, il

in the mine. The machinery is in such
shape that it cannot be worked which
prevents forcing fresh air to the en-
tombed men. A thousand people are
about the mouth of the mines. and
wives, fathers, mothers and children
are weeping for the loved ones.

MIX Fever.

The fact that plethora, an overfull-
ness of the blood vessels, is one and
really the predisposing cause, would
lead us naturally to expect to meet with
milk fever in the summer time Dry
cows coming out of winter quarters,
where they have generally been kept as
cheaply as possible, go into summer
pasture and rapidly gain in flesh. Milk
cows convert the surplus food into milk,
but dry ones put it into fat and muscle,
and so after couple of months at pas
ture the system becomes overcharged
with blood, for they have and eat more
than enough food to sustain life The
cows have plenty of exercise, of course,
but this very exercise increases their APP
petites and makes them eat more, and
unless a COW is given more exercise than
she naturally takes while at pasture,
she becomes in just the right condition
for an attack of milk fever at calving
time Any one who has had experience
with milk fever knows full well how
uncertain is its outcome and how much
it is to be dreaded The practice Of
many to give a purge week before
calving to cows in high flesh, in order
to clean out the system, has much to
recommend it.-Edwin G. Powell in
National Stockman.

wood Ashes For Cows.

In the early settlement of the coun-
try, when cows had access to newly
cleared land with its burned and char
red stumps, they used often to go to
where stumps had been burned and lick
up the charcoal. Many farmers believe
that cows thus allowed free range were
less liable to abortion than those kept
in close stables. The ashes probably
satisfied some want in the animal econ
omy. 1t may have been the phosphate
they contain which is required by the
bones of the growing fetus. If cows
eat too much, the potash in the ashes
corrects the acidity of their stomachs,
which often results where stock is high
ly fed in stables where it has little ex-
ercise. Boston Cultivator.

CREAM BOX.

should have room, closet or even boz
where he can have some control over
the temperature. This is necessary if
the work is to be done without excess
i've labor.
If place of this kind can be provid-
ed, the question of ripening cream be-
comes very simple one, even in win
ter. For those who have not a room
that can be kept at cream ripening
temperature we would suggest double
box. This ought to have four to six
inches space round the sides and bot
tom. If the boxes could be made per-
manently tight, no packing would be
required. But, as it is, it had better be
packed with sawdust, paper, cotton or
some other nonconducting material that
is clean and odorless. A can of cream
can be set in box of this kind, and if
it is properly made the cream will lose
but little of it's heat during the night.
If care is taken to bring the cream to
the ripening temperature before placing
1t in the box, there ought to be no diff
Guilty in ripening the cream in proper
manner.
