FATAL EXPLOSION ON SHIP.
Internal Machine Suspected to Have
Been the Cause.

Internal Machine Suspected to Have
Been the Cause.
Nine men were killed and about for
ty injured by terrific explosion
Thursday ON the British steamer Ha-
verford of the International Nayiga-
ton Company. 1t is suspected that an
internal machine was the cause. al
though barrel Of naphtha may have
blown up.
The vessel, commanded by Captain
Nielsen. arrived at Liverpool from
Philadelphia, landed her passengers
and proceeded to Huskisson Dock to
unload The stevedores were loosen
ing the matches when suddenly a vio-
lent blast occurred. 1t blew off the
matches, rent the decks and hurled
dead and wounded men in all direc-
tions.
The explosion, which was heard for
many blocks, was followed by fire. The
cargo, consisting of linseed oil cake
in hold No and hold No. 3, soon
was blazing fiercely. Firemen and po-
AAIC " Tic olJOt anu liz lAJuASd
were taken to neighboring hospital.
The fire soon assumed alarming proper
tons, owing TO the infiammable nature
of the cargo. After two hours hard
fighting, however, the firemen obtained
the mastery of the flames.
The report that the explosion was
caused by an internal machine arose
from the finding OF a wooden box a
foot square in one of the holds. This
box, which was only partly shattered,
still contained pieces of steel machin-
cry. 1t was prominently marked For
Manchester. England" The officials of
the International Navigation Company
say they believe the explosion was due
to ignition of gas given off by naphtha
soap, which formed part of the cargo.
Outwardly little harm has been done
to the vessel beyond the rents in The
deck, but inside the damage is extern
sive.

Benefits of Thinning.


In spite of the fact that the thinning
of growing fruit insures a better quail
ity, encourages more even yields year
after year, and prevents the overload
ing that often breaks down the trees,
there are comparatively few farmers
who make any attempt to cut off the
unusual and unnecessary strain upon
the strength and vitality Of the tree.
Men have become accustomed to re-
lieving the weight on the limbs by prop
ping from beneath, and while this
method often prevents the breaking
down of the tree, it does not foster the
vitality which is so severely drawn
upon that the yield for the coming year
is virtually minimized
Among the fruit growers the prob
lem of thinning is becoming recognized
for its merit The thrifty horticultur-
ist prefers a medium yield of fruit
every year of superior quality rather
than an enormous output every other
year of ordinary quality. Experience
has taught him that he can proftably
destroy from 60 to so per cent OF his
fruit crop by thinning, inasmuch as he
secures more desirable fruit, lessons
his labor and in the end realizes more
profit.
While we recognize the fact that
the average farmer is not in a position
to compete with the fruit specialist,
still this is no evidence that he cannot
shape his methods along the lines sug.
gested by the successes of the other.
Therefore we venture to assert that the
farmer with a fruit tree promising to
break under the overload can better af.
ford to relieve it of a portion of its
crop, rather than seek props to assist
its over-production and subsequent de.
terioration.

BURLINGTON IS FOUND GUILTY.
May Be Fined $4,000 for Rebates
to Kansas City Packers.

1t took Kansas City jury just thirty
five minutes to find the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy Railroad Company guilty
of violating the Elkins law by granting a
rebate to the Armour, Swift, Cudahy and
Nelson Morris packing companies. Each
of the four packing companies named had
already been found guilty of similar vio-
lation of law. The two cases, taken to-
gether, uphold the governments conten-
ton that it is as wrong to grant rebates
as IL is to receive them.
The Burlington was found guilty on
four counts and fine of from $1,000 to
$4,000 on each count may be imposed.
1t will be possible thus for Judge Nc
Pherson to impose total fine of $4,000
on the company if he chooses. Sentence
was deferred.

Potato Men Must Fall I'm Line.

The recent bulletin Of the Geneva
IN. V experiment station gives re-
suits of cooperative tests made by
thirty growers which together show
net profit of $4,000 from spraying. The
average increase in yieid from spraying
was 62A bushels per acre, done at
cost of $49S per acre. The cost for
each spraying was 93 cents. The net
profit per acre was $24.S6. These re-
suits are in line with those obtained
with similar experiments in 1903. The
spraying was found to lengthen time of
growth by preventing late brack. Not
only was the quantity greater, but II
was found that the potatoes contained
one-sixteenth more dry matter in the
sprayed fields and One-ninth more
starch, and as might be expected were
more mealy and of better cooking quail
ity. Spraying is almost a universal
practice in the Aroostook region, it
being declared that there is scarcely
an acre in the whole section not regu-
larly sprayed. Growers use the large
power sprayers which treat four rows
at once and do the work very quickly,
making three to eight applications dur
ing the season, according to circum-
stances
