U1c OF Manure.

1t is tho prevailing opinion of chem
lists AS we'll as practical men that
where 1t is practicable it is best to up
ply manure and urine to the soil in the
freshest possible condition. The ferti-
lining constituents Of well rotted ma
nare, as already explained, are moro
quickly available to plants, and tho
manure itself is less bulky and easier
to distribute. On the other hand, fresh
manure mixed with the soil readily un-
derEoes fermentation which not only
increases the availability OF its own
fertilizing constituents. but also assists
IN rendering soluble the hitherto insol-
uble fertlllzing constituents OF the soil.
In fact. even with special precautions
to prevent injurious fermentation un-
der the feet Of the animals and in the
heap the greater return Is likely to DO
got from manure applied IN the fresh
condition.--Farm and Live Stock Jour

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Fattentng Ewes,

Ewes generally are fattened after
their lambs are weaned, which should
not be later than Aug. /. Owing to
hot weather and scarcity of pasture
they are generally in low condition,
and IT is necessary to go slowly at first.
In few days, when their milk viii
not trouble, try putting them on some
fresh pasture. Rape Is a good thing.
Almost anything for n change will do
good. Then begin giving a small feed
OF grain, corn, oats and bran or oil
meal. This should be gradually in
creased to one pound per day, which, II
their pasture is good, should be sufIl-
cient. If their teeth arc bad. crack the
corn: don't grind 1t. In hot weather, II
there are no shade trees near, it is a
good plan to let sheep run to a barn OF
shed during the heat Of the day, where
they can have water. Feed them grain
at noon.-Richard Wolley in American
Agricultural.

being the steady increase in the de-

The pleasure of travelling is entirely

be.

ed if you will take the trouble to make

Wilkesbarra, Pa (SpeciaD One OF
the most appalling mine accidents in
the history of the Wyoming Valley
Tor many years past occurred at No I
Auchlncloss shaft, operated by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Coal Company, at Nanticoke, at an
early hour in the morning, by which
10 men were hurled to instant death
and three seriously injured The men
were upon the mine carriage to be
lowered to the workings below.
The signal was given to the engi-
neer, who began lowering the men,
The carriage had gone but few feet
when the engineer lost control OF his
engines, owing to the reverse levers
failing to work, and the carriage, with
its load, was dashed beyond the Ross
vein landing nearly I,Ioo feet below
the surface, and from there they were
pi ecipitated 800 feet further into a
sump
Those who may not have been kill
ed outright were without doubt
drowned in the sump, which is fully
so feet deep with water.
The victims, VINO were miners and
laborers, all resided in Nanticoke, and
most OF them leave families. They
were Poles or Slavs, with the excep-
ton Of one named John Kemper.
There are fully Is miners and la
borers in the mine dragging the sump
for the bodies, and it may require two
or three days before any of the dead
can be recovered
The cage containing the men had all
the safety appliances, and it appears
that after dropping 1000 feet the cage
caught in the safety fastenngs, but it
was brought to a stop so suddenly
that the bottom dropped out, and the
men fell out and landed in the stump,
a distance OF 700 feet farther down
the shaft.
