Saving the Clover.

1t Is falling Of the American farm
er when a blade of grass or a stem Of
clover makes strong showing to try
to turn 1t into beef. mutton or pork.
In this effort to utilibze 1t he entirely
forgets that the plant may need little
winter protection. He does not under
stand how little is often Sufficient to
save the plant from frost destruction
Where the clover Is not pastured 1t Is
often allowed to perfect Its seed, which
is as fatal to the crop next year as the
winter freezing. Clipping would save
the crop where 1t Is so forward as to
bloom and perfect seed.-Rural New
Yorker.

Beans can be med to swine only In
the cooked form. The pig seems to be
unable to utilize beans which are at
all hard or firm, even though they have
been boiled for some time; hence 1t Is
very essential that they be thoroughly
and carefully cooked, says r. s. Shaw,
Michigan. To supply a single feed of
half-cooked beans to pen Of hogs robs
them Of their appetites and relish for
their food, II indeed 1t does not put
them off their feed.

A good time to do your dehorning Is
to dehorn the calves with good de-
horner when they are few days old.
Mark them with m aluminium earmark
so you can keep a record Of them.
Keep a record Of the breeding Of
each COW, so you will know when she
is due to calve, and then allow her to
60 dry six weeks before calving.
The dairy bull should be fed like a
working horse and should receive plen-
ty of exercise. Work him In tread
power.
The milking Is one Of the most I'M
portant parts Of the dairy business.
TIE cows should be MIXED quickly,
cleanly and quietly. Do not excite your
cows or they will not let their milk
down Don't abuse a COW because she
kicks. If she kicks there Is some cause
for It. Look for the cause and remedy
inflamed udder or 1t may be that she
has been misused and regards her milk
er as an enemy that she must fight If
such Is the case, treat her kindly and
she will soon learn that you are not
going to harm her.
Clip the long hair of the udder and
flanks and TAIL and wipe of the udder
with a damp cloth before milking, and
you will be surprised to see how much
cleaner the milk will be.
Weigh each cows milk with an ac-
curate scale and test the milk with a
Babcock tester and you will be able to
see how many Of your cows are paying
for themselves-Dr. David Roberts,
Wisconsin State Veterinarian.

Once, while making a speech, he re-

with cries of "Did you know herr"
what was she like?"
Yes, sir" retorted the doctor, "T
did know her. The scholar is contem-

The Asparagus Bed.

Burn off the asparagus beds now and
clean the ground thoroughly, applying
manure plentifully. All bushes and
weeds that have not been cleared from
the ground will serve as harboring
places for mice and insects. When the
materials on the surface Of the ground
which have been destroyed by frost
are dry, and the grass also dead. 1t Is
not difficult to burn an entire bed over
and thus consume many seeds on the
ground.

that oats soon run out" in Kansas,

FREMONT MINE DISASTER
Strenuous Efforts Being Made to
Reach Entombed Men-Reseu-
ers> Overcome by Gas.

Drytown, Cal. Dec. 2gThe fire in the
the Fremont mine is under control and
since noon today the skips were kept
constantly running up and down the
Grover shaft and the powerful blowers
were kept steadily working trying to
clear the shafts and mine above the fire
levels of the hot gases which have
formed during the fire, but with slow
success. The whole effort of the man
agement is to get to the upper levels
above the fire. with the hope that the
eleven entombed miners may be still
alisYe.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon Manager
GoodalI accompanied by four picked min
ers, made another attempt to reach the
six hundred foot level through the hot
gases, and had reached that level when
three of them were overcome with gas
All were brought to the surface in an in
sensible condition, and have but par

from the skip and carried to the fresh
air.
Constable Bono and force of officers
from Drytown are having hard work to
keep back the vast crowd congregated at
the mouth of the shafts eager to get
news of the entombed miners.

NO HOPE FOR men
IN NAOMI MINE
Five Americans and Forty-tWo
Foreigners Surely Dead
One Body Brought Up.

Pittsburg, Dec. 2-The fate of five
American and forty-two foreign miners,
while not definitely known, was pretty
well established late today by the find
ing of the body of a mine pumper near
the twenty-seeOnd entry of the Naomi
mine Of the United Coal company at
Fayette City, thirty-five miles from this
city. The man had died from suffoca-
ton.
Judging from the two fatalities thus
Tar known, both having been caused by
poisonous gas fumes, it is almost certain
that the forty-seven miners still en-
tombed in the mine have suceumbed to
the deadly after-damp.
There is also a possibility that the eX-
pioston of last night occurred so close
to the men that they were killed by its
force or the resultant fall of tons of
rock and earth
Up to midnight thirteen bodies had
been recovered from the Naomi mine
of the United Coal company, near Fay
cite City. Two of these had previous
ly been identified, but eleven of the
bodies. horribly charred by the fire fol-
lowing the explosion, were left at the
bottom of the shaft, so that efforts %
reach other victims might not be de-
layed through removing the dead ones
to the surface.
