London (By Cable) - The worst
disaster for many years in the history
of the busy cross-channel traffic be-
tween England and the Continent oc-
Cured during a violent gale shortly
before 6 o'clock A. NJ, when the Rot
terdam mail steamer Berlin, from
Harwich to Hook of Holland, having
safely weathered the hurricane, was
wrecked as she was entering port.
With one single exception, all her
passengers and crew, numbering al
together 143 persons have either per-
ished or are clinging hopelessly to
the wreck.
The terrific seas broke up the
steamer with such awful suddenness
that all efforts to save life appear to
have been utterly hopeless. At
late hour it was reported that some
| few survivors were still clinging to
the wreck, but as the heroic efforts
all day long of the life-boat crews
had failed to reach them, little hope
that they will be saved remains.
The Company's Advices.
The story of the disaster is told
with dramatic intensity by the fol-
lowing brief, but pregnant, messages
reaching Harwich from the agent of
the Great Eastern Railway Company
at Hook of Holland. The first mes
sage was handed in at the Hook at
$50 A. M, and ran as follows:
"The Berlin is stranded at the
North Pier. Her position is very dan
/ gerous. There is a heavy gale blow
ing. Tugs and lifeboats are going
out to her assistance"
The second message was sent off
at 730 and said:
"The position of the Berlin is still
very dangerous. The heavy gale con-
tinues. We have tried to take off
the passengers with tugbOats and life
boats, but without success up to the
present"
The third message was timed at
the Hook at 1852 and reached Har-
wich at $40. It said: "The Berlin
has broken in two, and very probably
will prove q total loss. Her crew
are still on board. Life-boats and
tugs are trying to save the passen-
gers"
The fourth message came through
the London Office of the railway
company. II was timed at the Hook
at 80 and said: 1T is impossi'
BILE to reach the Berlin to save the
passengers. We will do the best we
can. The poop of the ship is under
water"
A Total Loss.
Then, at 1896, came the fifth ant
last messeage: "The Berlin is a to
tai loss, with all her crew and pas
sengers. Nobody has been saved"
No cause yet has been assigned
for the terrible accident, and 1t pro
badly never will be known how th'
steamer came TO miss the channel
which, although 800 yards wide anC
we'll bouyed and lighted, is Away
difficult of access in rough weather
It is conjectured that some derange
ment of the engines or steering gea
may have rendered the vessel un
. controllable. Captain Precious, o
the Berlin, had a good record of
years service. The list of passen
gers on the fated steamer was lost
and all the names of those who wer
,, on board have not yet been learned
but as far as has been as certaine
there were no Americans among tn
, passengers.

Residence Should Read Them.
The other day the writer was in the
office of the Canadian Government at

that homesteads Of 1G0 acres were
given free to actual settlers, and in the
windows were displays of wheat, oats,
barley, other grains and vegetables,
which he was told were grown in West
ern Canada This could be readily be-
lieved, for In no other country on the
Continent would it be possible to grow
such splendid specimens. The world is
now pretty well advised that in the
growing of such cereals as have been
named, and vegetables as well, the
Provinces of Manitoba Saska tchewan
and Alberta have no competitor. For
several years past specimens have been
exhibited at State and County Fairs
throughout the States, and these exhib-
its are looked upon as one Of the chief
attractions. They have demonstrated
what can be done In the climate Of
country possessing q soil that will grow

vegetables such as were seen there
seemed to create some doubt. But it
was the case. And apples, too. Not
Of course the splendid fruit grown in

Throughout Indiana the "HOOsier"
farmers were forced to stop and think.

Estimating Milk Yield.

In reckoning the milk yield of COW
common mistake is to figure on the
basis of her yield during the first two
or three months. Professor Gray, of
the Canadian Experimental Farm at
Ottawa, gives records of COWS showing
that the yield at first is very deceptive.
One COW noted as great mixer start
ed out to lead. and did 50 for about
two months, but was finally next to the
last in the whole herd, with only Il
small 2-year-old heifer behind her in
yield. The only way to find out what
a COW is really doing is to weigh the
milk at frequent intervals throughout
the season

A Skowhegan Nature Yarn.

Here is a nature story from Skowhe-
gan which will bear investigation Mrs
Henry Harris broke a common hens egg
in a bowl the other morning. In so do
ing she noticed another little egg in the
bowl with a shell on it, which proved to
be sparrow's egg. Mrs. Harris called
Mr. Harris to explain what this strange
discovery meant. Mr.. Harris took the
sparrow's egg and broke it. Inside the
shell he found little sparrow alive.
Mr.. Harris solved the problem. The hen
had swallowed the sparrow's egg whole,
and in forming the shell about her own
egg the little egg had got within. and
the warmth Of the hen had been the re-
quired aid - hatch the little sparrow.
The sparrow, though not grown quite
enough to hatch, is alive."-Kennebec

An Auto Accident in Italy.

At Bologna we put up at a famous
hotel. where the automobile stood in
the courtyard right up against the wine
press. We spent our days agreeably
enough in wandering through the arcad-
ed streets and reconstructing, III quiet
grassy corners, the varied history of the
ancient town, and then we resumed the
road for Florence. Fortunately our car
seemed to like hill climbing and the
roads were good though dusty. Up we
went, stopping only at Bagrie della Por
eta for luncheon; on to COllina, where
the finest. softest of views, spread itself
before our entranced vision; then down
we went, throwing great clouds of dust
on the cheerful Tuscans carrying their
figs and grapes to market. Suddenly
we were arrested by the loud explosion
of a rear shoe, so down we got into the
dust to wait while the chauffeur repaired
the damage. One by one the peasants
came along, and instead of scowling and
telling us we We're rightly served in our
turn for covering them with dust and
spelling their vineyards, they smiled
sympathetically and offered us G-apes
and help and hoped the ''disgrazia'' was
not serious.-The Travel Magazine.

Feeding wild Animals.

Raising alfalfa to furnish winter feed
for wild animals is proving a great sue
cess in the Yellowstone National Park.
One hundred tons of fine hay have been
harvested in the government field near
the Gardiner arch and stacked near the
soldiers quarters. Three years ago a
deer was seldom seen in the vicinity of
Mammoth Hot Springs and as an ex-
pertinent a few bales of alfalfa hay
were scattered near the parade ground.
The next day dozen blacktan deer
made their appearance, the number
steadily increasing and now comprises
over 100. The animals quickly lost all
fear of human beings and are not even
startled by the firing of the evening
gun within 100 yards Of them, but show
much more interest in the lowering of
the flag from the staff in the middle
of their feeding ground.

Testing Fertilizers.

The fertilizer tests at the New York
Experiment Station showed no gain in
using phosphates or chemicals where
plenty of manure was mixed with the
soil. On sandy loans the manure
lightened it up too much, and the com
mercial fertilizer proved most efficient,
but en- the clay loans the opposite re-
suits were obtained. The experiments
seemed to indicate that lettuce cares
less for the form or source of plant
food than about the texture of the soil
in which il grows.

TO make wooden drains it usually re-
quires two men, one to hold the boards
in place and the other to nail them to-
gether. This method of making board
drains can be improved upon by the
use of standard. This consists of an
upright board three feet high, having
notches cut into it six inches apart, one
inch wide and several inches deep to
hold the boards firmly. The boards are
laid in the notches, when the top board
can be quickly and evenly nailed on.
Another method consists of two posts
driven into the ground about three feet
from the fence, with notched boards
