PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Miners Attitude Proved an lnsurmountabl.
Obstacle.

London, Jan. PA representative
of the Daily News in the lobbies of par
lament hears that there has certainly
been some sort of peace overtures from
the Beers, but that the unyielding atti-
tude of Lord Miner, as before, proved
an insurmountable obstacle in the
matter.
A correspondent of the Daily Tele
graph, wiring from Brussels, says that
the Dutch pro-Boer press has published
note issued by Mr.. Kruger, declaring
that no peace negotiations would be
conducted except on the basis of the
retention of Boer independence. This
note is regarded as a reply to the speech
of Mr.. Chamberlain.
The Morning Leader asserts that the
government definitely rejected an offer
of peace negotiations from the Boer del
egates, Vessels, Wolmarans and Fisch-
err last August.

A Wrinkle in Apple Packing.

There Is Il knack in doing every
thing" is an old saying, and the truth
fulness of it was brought to mind yes
terday. says the Oregonian. by Il gang
of men engaged in wrapping and pack
ing apples. Each man had full box
of apples. pile of thin paper cut into
wrappers. and an empty box. An APP
pie was taken from the full box, a
wrapper put around it. and it was put
in the other box. 1t is not an easy
thing to pick up wrapper Of thin
paper from pile without missing one
occasionally, and in doing this the men
adopted different schemes A new
hand wet his thumb on his tongue for
every wrapper. One who had been
longer in the business and found that
it was unwhOlesome to be wetting his
thumb on his tongue. had slice of
lemon beside his pile of wrappers and
mOiStened his thumb in the lemon be-
fore picking up a wrapper. The scheme
worked well. but he did not know
whether the acid of the lemon would
make his thumb sore or not A third
man had a thin rubber thump stall on
his thumb and could pick up wrappers
all day long and never make a miss

Using Mineral Fertilizers,

When liberal applications of potash
and phosphoric acid are to be used. it
is better to put them on as early in
the spring as possible. and work 1t well
into the soil. even two or three weeks
before the seed Is put in. Upon a
heavy clay soil it would probably be
even better to put it on in the fall
BY the early application it becomes
partially dissolved in the soil and bet
ter distributed through it. and there is
no danger of it's injuring the germina-
ton of the seed as it might do if it was
put on when the seed was put in. and
they came in contact. When tankage
is used for nitrogen this may be put on
at the same time as the other fertiliz-
ers, as in the cold ground it will take
some time for it to decay enough to
make it's nitrogen available. There
would be very little if any loss of nitro
gen. But in using nitrate of soda wait
until the seed is put in. or even until
the plants are up. and then scatter it
around them, not getting it on them
when they are wet lest it should burn.
For n crop that needs the whole sea-
son to grow it is often better to make
two light applications Of nitrate Of
soda. the last when the plans are
about half grown. than one heavy one.

Guinea fowls have many good quail
ties. We should find them among every
flock of poultry. The guinea fowl can
not. of course. supplant or even rival
the chicken. but there is no more deli
cious or palatable dish than young
guinea fowl, and the eggs though
small, are very rich and delicate. The
greatest objection TO them is their wild
nature. which prompts them to seek the
woods in search of nests. The young
birds will leave the nest almost as soon
as dry. and unless the mother and
young are confined in tight coop the
tiny things will stray off and die. They
are tender until two weeks old, after
which time, If protected at night, they
grow rapidly. and require practically
no attention. They must have free
range, and when given it will gather all
they require to eat. and during winter
weather they need no special care, since
they do not begin to lay until spring,
anyway. They are not subject to any
of the many diseases which afiiict
chickens, and really merit the attention
of farmers and poultrymen.

LOCOMOTIVE BLEW UP.
Caused the Derailment Of . Passenger Train
on the Rock Island.

Victor, Iowa, Jan. 2l.-As the Dem
yer limited passenger train No. 5, of
the Rock Island, was passing through
this town this morning at 5:55, the
boiler of engine No. 503 exploded, re-
sulting in the death of the engineer
and fireman and slightly injurihg two
porters and brakeman.
The accident took place within 200
feet of the depot and the noise of the
explosion aroused every person in the
town. The force of the explosion
threw every one of the seven coaches
of the train off the track, but only over
turned the Des Moines Pullman.
Fortunately the passengers were I'M
injrued Pieces of the wrecked engine
were strewn around for distance of
200 feet and the boiler was found $50
feet away from the scene of the acct
dent.

LUMBER CAMP BURNED,
Seven Lives Lost in Fire in the West Viz.
ginia Forest.

Hambleton, w. Va, Jan. 23.-About
1 O'Clock this morning camp 5 OF the
Otter Creek Boom & Lumber Company,
several miles from here in the forest.
took fire and burned so rapidly that
seven of the 40 men asleep in the
building failed to get out, and were
burned to death.
1t was not more than five minutes
from the time the alarm was given
until there was no chance to escape.
The building was 20x22 feet, and the
upper part was all in one room. In
this the 40 men were asleep. Two very
small windows and the very narrow
stairway afforded the only ways of
escape, and those who went to the win
dows, dozen or more, had to jump ~
or Is feet, the others rushing down
the steps like sheep, pushing and tum-
bling and falling over each other. The
dead were almost entirely cremated
