OH the Roll of the LOst-FOrest

Northfork, w. Va. Sept. ia gas
and powder explosion occurred i'll the
Big -Four mine of the AlgOma Coal
and Coke company here yesterday
morning about s o'clock, as the re-
suit of which James Lester, an en-
gineer; John Recckie, q Hungarian
miner, and fifteen cOlOred miners were
imprisoned in the mine There is hard
ly chance for any of the men to be
recovered alive, as they were caught
beyond the point where the explosion
occurred, and the gas and smoke was
so thick that all rescuing parties were
driven back. II. L. FrankentiCld, q
mine boss and George Gaspie, a Hun
garian miner, succeeded in crawling
over the fallen coal and slate to the
lights of a rescuing party, and were
taken out alive, although badly burn
ed and nearly suffocated by the gas
and smoke inhaled.
Gas and Powder Explode Together.
The explosion is said to have been
caused by an accumulation of gas
catching fire from the lamp of a
miner who was going to work, and
this in turn fired six kegs of blast
ing powder that had been stored back
in the mines. The explosion knocked
down all of the bratticeS for a quar-
ter of mile back toward the mine
entrance, thus cutting out all of the
air from the men imprisoned behind
the debris. There had been q small
gas explosion in this mine on Satur-
day last, and Mine Superintendent A.
j. Stuart had personally cautioned the
men who worked in the mine not to
attempt to work again until the air
had been tested by a safety clamp.
Eleven Bodies Are Recovered.
y rescuing party headed by Mine
Inspector Cooper attempted a rescue
yesterday morning, but was driven
back by the want of air. The coal
started to burning, which eXtinguish-
ed all hope of saving any one alive.
Superintendent got large force of men
at work to make a second attempt to
reach the imprisoned men and the re-
suit was that by II p. IN. eleven
bodies had been recovered from the
mine and six more bodies had been
located. Those recovered are all col

named Lester
ALI the Bodies Are Recovered.
The last Of the seventeen miners
was brought out OF the mine at II
p. NJ. Faithfully all day did the mine
superintendent with his force of men
work to reach the imprisoned men be-
fore life had fled, but their heroic eff
forts were fruitless. At 10 p. m. they
reached the place of the explosion, but
not until several of the rescuers had
been overcome by the deadly gas and
brought out unconscious. 1t was a
fearful sight to watch the crowd of
men, women and children, eagerly
watching each car coming from the
mine expecting the corpse of father,
husband, son or brother to be brought

The question of securing good prac-
teal milking machine is engaging the
attention of the agricultural depart
ment. Major Alvord, the chief of the
dairy division, states that the labor re-
Quired to milk the COWS of the United
States is represented by the work of
about 50, 900 men working ten hours a
day the year round. He says that
there are no effective milking machines
in operation in this country though he
knows of few in Iowa which milk
one COW at time. His division is now
arranging to make Il test OF a Scotch
machine which will milk six or eight
COWS at time. The operation of this
mixer is said to be superior in several
respects to hand milking. The action
on the cows teats is the nearest pos
sible to the sucking of the calf, the mo-
ton having Il pulsating effect. The
operation is performed by means of a
pump attached to the mixer which
sucks the milk from the cows udder
in a very natural manner. One man
attends the apparatus to six or eight
cows and then sets the pump in opera
ton, which requires about One-half
horsepower to run. By this means six
COWS. it is claimed, can be MIXED in
about twelve minutes.
The department proposes to make
test on some good herd of mixers, pos
sibly the herd at st. Elizabeths In
sane asylum near Washington. select
ing twelve uniform milk COWS. and on
six of them using the milking machine
for a period of weeks while the other
six are MIXED in the usual way. This
will give some idea of the practical
value of the machine. 1t is a we'll
known fact that where COWS are
MIXED rapidly and with the least men,
tai irritation on their part their milk
production is the highest.-lndiana

For the Self Sucking Cow.
The party who wrote concerning his
self sucking COW should try the device
which is being used on both COWS and
calves here, says the Michigan Farm
er. It consists of a piece of wire about
eight inches long. with both ends
sharpened to a needle point This is
put through the nose the same as a
bull ring, bending the points down Il
little and leaving plenty Of loop in the
nose so that it will work freely. A
cow can suck herself only when lying
down, and if this device is put in
properly it will prick the udder when
ever she attempts to practice the habit.
It may require a little experimenting
to get the points shaped just right,
but it has been used quite successfully

Feeding Calves.
If calves are to be kept growing right
from the start. it is exceedingly impor-
tant that they be given milk that is
heated to a temperature of the body,
says an exchange. Cold milk seems to
have an injurious effect upon the ami
mails digestive system. 1t is true that
it requires some little time and labor
to heat the milk. more especially If it
has been returned from the creamery,
but this time and labor :.re generally
profitable if care is taken Of the ami
NAL in other respects. The hand sep
arator in this regard has many adj
vantages over the practice Of taking
milk to the creamery. having it
skinned there and returning it to be
fed to calves at ones convenience.
