of the River Gayave. Great trees,
with roots upward and scorched, by
fire, were strewn in every direction.
Huge blocks and still hot stones were
scattered about.
The completeness of the catastrophe
is evident when it is stated that, so
far as known at the present time, no
one save a handful of survivors picked
up from the wrecked vessels in the
harbor by the French cruiser Suchet,
escaped. Even they are unable to
tell what actually happened, so crazed
are they from the experiences they
passed through. 1t is certain, however,

AS the steamer felt its way down
the west coast of the island we could
see that the whole north end of the
island was covered with a silver gray
coating of ashes resembling snow. Fu-
rious blasts of fire, ashes and mud
swept over the steamer, but finally st.
Pierre was reached. or rather the spot
where ST. Pierre stood before that aw-
full three minutes.
For two miles along the water front
and for half mile back from shore
to the foothills at the base of the vol
cano stretched the heaps of smoking
ruins. Streets there were none. One

cat no time were any earthquakes
but big stones were rained down, and
fire fell like rain for long time"
In a separate part of the hospital
were found several persons saved from
Corbet village, four miles from St
Pierre.
The village of Urine, south of st.
Pierre, was almost entirely burned and
almost all the inhabitants were killed.
One of the survivors of Urine, who will
die, says the sea, boiling hot, invaded
the land. Six women, whose bodies
are one solid burn, are writhing in
another ward of the hospital. Ten
women severely burned from Urine
were brought in and four of them have
died. 1t is doubtful if any of the six
still alive can recover.

Sources of Melon Supply.

Sources of Melon supply. -
From the Farmers Review: Large
quantities of cantaloupe of various va
rieties are raised in the central and
southern portion of this state unless
the crop is injured in some way by eli
matte conditions. Our main early sup
ply, up to two years ago, was grown in
this section. Extreme southern Sec
lions Of the country are going into the
business very heavily this season, yet
their product will be out of the
Illinois crop when our home product
is ready for shipment, unless for some
reason the quality of the homegrown
is poor. Large quantities of water
melons are grown in the Carmi (Illi-
nois) district, and the last of the Mis-
souri, crop is crowded out of our mar
ket when the Illinois stock begins
coming, on account Of the difference In
freight. Indiana also ships quite
heavily to this market at about the
same time the Illinois crop Is being
harvested. The ROCKFORD cante-
loupes grown in Colorado are of su-
perior quality to those grown farther
East, unless climatic conditions are
bad during the ripening Of the melons.
Crop was short all round last season
and very high prices ruled. The acre
age will be very large this season, and
1t is probable that results will be salts
factory to growers, although consump-
ton has increased very largely in the
last few years.-C. H. Weaver, Chi

Points on SIlage Making.

From Farmers Review: A CORE
spondent at Ogden, Utah, writes:
From time to time we have noticed
interesting articles in your paper on
silos. We have in mind using green
pea straw for silage, but are not post
ed as to the best method of building
and filing the silo. Can you send
us some data on this subject" In
these days of cheap silo literature and
of silo discussions galore at every
farmers institute and convention, as
we'll as in the agricultural press, 1t
seems hardly necessary to take up
space with descriptions of meth.
DDS of building and filling silos.
The correspondent can get small
treatise on the subject for the asking,
by writing the secretary of agricul-
ture. Washington" c.. for copy of
Farmers Bulletin No. 80, Silos and
Silage. If he wishes to study the sub
ject more in detail there is Professor
Kings Physics of Agriculture ($1.75),
which gives up considerable space to
the construction of silos, and "a Book
on Silage," by the writer (S1.00), both
of which books may be ordered
through the Farmers Review, Chi
cago, III. In the latter book COM
plete specifications for 900-ton round
wooden silo and for 100-ton stave
silo are given, with elevations and
framing plans, sections, ETC., from
which silos can be readily constructed
20, mil
ing operations. AS the correspondent
apparently has not had previous ex-
perience with silos the best plan
would be for him to build small tank
silo of beveled lumber such as is used
in making water tanks. Then anoth-
experience with silage and has found
out that he cannot do without it, he
will very likely want to build larger
silo and can then put up more sub
stantial atwood structure that will
not require the attention that stave
silos at best require.
AS to making silage from green pea
straw, will say that have not had
any personal experience with this ma
terial as a silage crop, but can see no
reason why it will not make good 81
lage if properly packed in a modern
silo, and if it is not allowed to dry
out too much before being placed in
the silo. The best way is to run it
through feed cutter and cut into
inch lengths; wetting the top with
about two gallons of water per square
foot of surface is to be recommended
if the pea vines are not pretty green
as they go into the silo.-F. w. Woll,
Wisconsin Experiment Station.

The creamery manager may think
that he has not the time to devote to
telling the patrons OF his creamery
how to take care of their milk. He
should, however. consider that any
time put into this work means labor
saved in other parts of the work. The
purer the milk the easier will it be
to make good butter from it. Mis-
sionary work must be done along this
line and the missionary is logically
the man in charge of the creamery or
factory.

John Denair this week informed the

the installation of pontoon bridge
across the Colorado river at the
Needles. The bridge will be of the
usual pontoon order, but will be made
more durable than that used by the
military arm of our government. 1t
will be in sections and can be opened
for the passage of steamers and to
allow the passage OF floodwood aud
other distractions. We understand
that the bridge will cost 5,0OS and will
be more than 1000 feet in length. A
bridge across the Colorado will give
Needles direct access to the rich gold
mining region on the east side of the
river and make that place the base of
supplies. While during two or three
months of the year it might be a hard
thing to keep bridge of this charac-
ter in place, it would be of great ad-
vantage to the people during the other
