Killed by a Blast

T. H. Gage, an American aged about 45 years, who was employed as a fore man in the railroad construction work at Antonelli's camp few miles south of Clifton, was accidentally killed on Monday last. Two deep holes had been drilled. A Mexican was to fire the up- per shot, while Mir. Gage was to fire the lower one. The upper hole was nineteen inches deep and contained 8 large charge of powder. The first match which Mir. Gage lit went out. He struck second one, and just as the fuse lit the upper. shot went off and he was buried beneath several tons of rock. Death must have been instan- taneous. Only one arm was visible above the rock. The body was taken out as soon as possible and Justice Munro notified. A coroner's inquest was held and the facts as above stated developed. The body was brought to Clifton and inferred Wednesday after noon. Mrs. Gage. who resides in Chi huahua, was notified by wire of her husbands untimely death.

MISTAKES IN HOG RAISING.

There are but few farmers bnt what
could write a book on their mistakes,
and it would make interesting read
ing. Our first mistake was in breed
ing and raising scrub stock. To feed
a pig until it was year old and sell it
for SO, and then pay $15 to S25 for a
four or five months old pig, we could
not think of such foolish thing. And
probably would never have owned a
registered hog had it not been for a
friend who drew as premium on fine
chickens, a fine Berkshire boar pig.
This pig my friend persuaded me to
buy at very low price, as he had no
use for it. We finally, after much
misgiving, bought two SOW pigs of the
same breed, paying, as we thought, a
big price. This small beginning taught
us the value of pure bred hogs, al
though we had chad luck" losing one
SOW and boar by cholera, but the one
SOW left was the foundation of fine
herd of Berkshires. It would be hard
to estimate the loss of farmers who
are still raising stock.
Our next mistake was in not provid-
ing better quarters for our pigs. We
have lost several fine filters of pigs,
being narrowed too early and not hav-
ing warm and comfortable place for
the SOW and pigs.
Breeding sows too young is a great
mistake, and, we think, has had more
to do towards increasing cholera than
any other cause, as pigs from young
sows have not the vitality to resist
the disease that pigs from old matured
sows have.
Feeding corn alone, without chang
ing to some other food, such as bran,
middlings, oats, potatoes and oil meal,
is a great mistake. The price of bran
and middlings has been very high, but
it pays to make the change for the
health Of the hog. We have lost by
not providing clover for young hogs
to run on during the summer months.
When feeding in dry lots hogs will not
make half the growth that they would
if they had pasture Of some kind.
Rye, early in the spring, makes ex-
cellent pasture for hogs.
While cholera, that dread disease,
that has made many hog raiser feel
tired, can be largely prevented by
better sanitary conditions, hogs are
fed year after year in the same lot,
which becomes foul and when the
disease makes its appearance, they
are almost sure to be the first ones to
take it.-SaUine Advocate.

1T HAPPENED IN A DRUG STORE.

drug store and asked for brand of cough
medicine that did not havein Stock says
Mr.. G. R. Grandin, the popular druggist of
Ontario, N. Y. "She was disappointed and
wanted to know what cough preparation
could recommend. I said to her that 1 could
freely recommend Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and that she could take a bottle of
the remedy and after giving it a fair trial if
she did not find it worth the money to bring
back the bottle and would refund the price
paid. In the course of a day or two the lady
Bme back in company with friend in need
of a cough medicine and advised her to buy
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I
consider that very good recommendation
for the remedy" 1t is for sale by w Bar

OUR FARMERS.
THE APPLE MARKET.

The apple crop in the United States
and Canada is unusually large, and
prices are correspondingly low.
In fact they are too low They are
bound to go up.
This is practically proven by the
rapid manner in which spectators
are taking up all the apples in sight.
spectators do not buy on a falling
market.
Professor Waugh of the Vermont
experiment station, in speaking of
this matter, points out that there are
certain features of the situation of the
apple growers have generally failed
to appreciate. He sums them up as
follows:
1. The crop has been practically,
if not absolutely overestimated. The
statements that the present crop
greatly exceeds that of 1896 have been
very industriously circulated by the
apple buyers and solely in the en-
deavor to keep prices down.
2. The market has been underesti-
mated. 1t has been assumed that the
market is no better than in 1896, while
the fact is that it can handle much
larger quantity of fruit. Then the
market was not organized. Buyers
were not in touch with sellers. Els
pecially the whole European outlet
had not Ebeen developed. Now all
that is changed for the better. Then
growers shipped thousands of barrels
of windfalls and worthless fruit which
this year they will have sense enough
to keep at home.
8. The market has been temporarily
unsettled by the great quantity of fall
fruit sent in and by and by the re-
markable crop of windfalls harvested
by the September gales. Buyers have
shrewdly taken advantage of this
temporary generalization to contract
for winter apples, though te-keep-
ing varieties are not properly affected
by it.
4. The probable price of winter fruit
has been generally understood. The
price has ranged thus far from 81 to
$1.50 barrel, although a few lots
have been contra cted at 50 or even as
high as So. These latter figures do
not represent the present market
offerings, however. But even in 1896,
when all possible adverse conditions
conspired to keep down prices, good
winter apples sold late in the season
at 50. so to 81 barrel. The same class
of fruit, at the same season, will
doubtless sell higher this year.
The permanent moral is that only
ate-keeping standard market varie-
ties ought to be grown, and that the
grower ought to put himself in posi-
ton to hold his apples for few weeks
or months when necessary; and the
golded text, for Immediate applica-
ton, is that growers who have first
class winter fruit on hand ought not
to sell any sooner than circumstances
compel them to.

interests of our commonwealth.
Should they need encouragement let
us not fail to give it to them.
We feel that the coming of Mrs
Read to our county has resulted in
much good. Some new Unions were
organized and the membership of
others largely increased. Our Union
in Barton is quite encouraged by the
number of new members and if they
will come in and work with us we
know we may be power for good.
There were twenty present at the re-
ception at the home of the president,
many were hindered by company and
various other causes. The November
meeting is to be under the direction
of Mrs. R. L. Sheaff and Mrs. A. r.
Cowles at the home Of Mrs. T. w.
Drew. It is hoped that every member
old and new will try to be there. We
are sure these meetings., if we'll at
tended and if each one will try to con-
tribute something of interest, will be
helpful to US all. Our Union is COM
posed of ladies who can be power
for good in any undertaking in which
they are interested. And what should
interest us more than the extinction
of the drink habit and it's kindred
evils. We received beautiful banner
at the county convention for the
largest percentage of increase in
membership and now we have so
many new ones we hope to retain it
another year. In union there is
strength. United, consecrated effort
will not fail to win.

LADIES' COLUMN.
NEW ASSOCIATES.

When we take our boys and girls
into strange place, perhaps a hum
| dred miles or more from their own
| town, where they are to be thrown
for some weeks into intimate associa-
| ton with other children hitherto un
known to us, we should not accept
too much on trust. The careful moth
er observes her children as they make
new acquaintance. She accompanies
them in their walks; she joins them in
their play, or at least she overlooks
what is going on, and is often an un-
seen spectator, an unsupported listen
er when the gameslare at their height.
| Our children are very much infuenc-
| ed, and are essentially modified by
those with whom they mingle, and
especially are our little boys imitators
of the boy year Or two older who is
| in their eyes hero. No mother de-
sires to be spy Or needlessly suspi-
cious, nor should she give her children
the feeling that they are under con-
tinual surveillance; yet so Important
are the formative years, and SO mo-
mentous are the issues involved, that
she cannot disregard the choice of
their friends. 1t is often safer to let
the small lad play freely with some
rough little fellow who comes from a
home of poverty and toll, than with a
we'll clad and we'll hammered boy
whose beautiful home is presided over
by parents too absorbed in business
and in society to properly educate
and train their children. Once mis-
chief has been done, once the seeds of
deceit have been sown, and the mind
colored with evil, it may take years
to eradicate the wrong, and, therefore,
none of us can too carefully watch
the beginnings of childish friendship.
We are far too apt to judge from
superficial acquaintance, and without
meaning it we may teach our children
to be snobs, when our view point is
limited only to the children of the
wellto-d do. In the old South, in
those remote days before the civil war,
the children of tie planter and the
landowner played on common ground
and in the most democratic simplicity
with the small pickaninnies on the es-
tate, and white and black grew up
together in affectionate relations, to
the detriment of neither. My thought
is that in allowing to children play
mates in either town or country, and
narticnlarly when thew are away from
home, we must think and care more
about the children themselves than
about their dress and their station in
life. After a child has sufficiently
matured to grow critical, then he or
she will require the less vigilance by
way of protection and safeguard

Too much of the juice and flavor of
meats is allowed to waste by soaking
into the wrapping paper in which the
meat comes from market. Steaks to
be at their best should be cut but a
short time before broiling. No meat
should ever be put away in the paper
in which it was wrapped in the mar
ket. Agate or earthen dishes should
be used, tin will injure the flavor of
