Winter Work on Farms.

One of the greatest needs on the
average southern farm nowadays is
more work IN winter. Ever since l
could remember it has seemed to me
that life on the common Georgia farm
is too much of a happy-go-lucky style.
To get re~dlts in anything one has
to keep everlastingly at 1t, so to speak.
For years l have heard staid old farm.
ers discussing fall blowing and spring
blowing. but l have seen too little of
it in actual observation, writes j. G.
NJ. in the Southern Cultivator.
There used to be an idea, which is
still prevalent. concerning results from
fall and winter blowing. Some argued
1t was injurious to pillow deep in the
fall. others that it was absurd to plow
in the springtime to any great depth.
The truth of the matter is that good
blowing at any time when the soil is
in good condition is a good thing to do.
Usually in the spring the subsoil is
too wet to plow. and when it is turned
up or broken in this condition damag-
ing results are likely to occur.

II have been informed that certain

nominating me for the presidency, or
are preparing to procure my endorse
ment for such denomination by state
conventions. This must not be. I
wish you to inform such officers as
you may find it advisable or neces-
sary to inform in order to carry out
the spirit of this instruction that such
advocacy of my denomination, or ac-
ceptance of an election as delegate
for that purpose, will be regarded as
a serious violation of official propriety
and will be dealt with accordingly"

KIT CARSON.
Feat Of Which the Hardy Frontiers
man Had No Recollection,

man Had No Recollection.
+, One of the most noted of the hardy
western frontiersmen was Kit Carson,
to whom, with Daniel Boone, belongs
the credit of having always dealt fair
ly with the various Indian tribes, as
they themselves acknowledged. The
withdrawal of Carson by the govern
ment was the cause of a great war.
Captain Henry Inman in his book,
1.-THE Old Santa Fe TRAIL" relates an
amusing incident of the gallant pio-
neer.
My own conception Of Kit Carson
as a child was that he was ten feet
high, that it would have required the
strength of two men to lift his rifle,
that he usually drank a river dry and
picked the carcass of a whole buffalo
clean as easily as a lady does the wing
of a quail. Years after, when l made
the acquaintance Of the foremost from
tiersman, l found him a delicate, reti-
cent, understood, why man, the very
opposite type of what my childish
brain had created.
One day while Kit was at the fort l
came across a periodical that had a
full page illustration Of a scene in a
forest. In the foreground stood a gi-
gantic figure dressed in the traditional
Duckskin.
On one arm rested an immense rifle.
His other arm was around the waist

how all this had been effected by Kit

for a few seconds and then said:
"Gentlemen, that thar may be true,
but l hain't got no recollection of it."

UNFORTUNATE EVENTS.

Fifty-three bodies have been recov.
cred from mines Numbers 6 and s OF
tie Fairmont Coal company at Monon-
Eah, w. Va; where a horrible eXplo-
zion occurred. General Manager Ma
lone of the mines said that 47S actual
miners were checked off as entering
the mines before the explosion and
I'LL have persisted. This number did
not include fully 100 trappers, mule
drivers, bumpers and boys who are
not under the check system. Should
these figures be correct the death list
will be over $50 persons. The condi-
ton of the bodies thus far recovered
is horrible. Many are dismembered,
some are fearfully crushed and the
rest are blackened and burned beyond
recognition.
All the thirty-two bodies Of miners
who lost their lives in the explosion
ut the Naomi mine Of the United Coal
company at Fayette City, Pa, have
been identified and brought to the
surface. 1t is known positively that
q boy employed Is a water carrier is
missing. There is a possibility that
additional bodies of miners may be
found when the entry is searched.

FROSTED ENslLAGE.
Freezing Depresses Food Value Of
Corn Little, if Any.

SOIu IiISiS, II ANY.
In view Of the difference Of opinion
among farmers as to whether corn is
seriously damaged for silage making
by frosting the Vermont experiment
station undertook experiments in which
different sections of the same field OF
corn were ensiled in unfrosted condi-
ton and after different degrees OF
frosting.
A little more than half Of it was
cut into the silo on Oct. Z, immature
and just barely touched by an extreme
~ light frost. A hard frost seemed
Imminent that night, but did not occur.
Indeed, the first hard frost was delay
ed two weeks, occurring on the night
Of Oct. 81. Half of the remainder was
cut on that date prior to the frost, ma
ture, ears glazed; the remainder two
days later, on Monday, mature, ears
glazed, hard frosted or even frozen.
with leaves badly whitened.
Tests In Feeding.
The feeding value of the different
lots of silage was determined by feed
ing experiments with twenty-one milk
COWS for from fifteen to twenty-five
weeks. 1t was found that, first, iii
every case more dry matter was eaten
when the mature silage ration was
fed, as was to have been expected; sec
ond, the quality of the milk made when
the silage from the frozen corn was
fed was depressed slightly; third, the
total solid and fat yields were Slightly
depressed when the ration containing
the frozen corn silage was fed, and,
fourth, the products per unit of con-
sumption were depressed when the
more mature Stages were fed. owing
to the greater consumption, but smaller
production.
Outcome Of the Experiments.
The general outcome of the expert
ments, therefore, was that 1.-The effect
of frosting corn, and yet more of freez-
ing it, appears very slightly to have
been to depress it's feeding value when
made into silage."
In view. however, of the fact that
from 6 to Is per cent more total dry
the two weeks longer growth Of the
crop and in view Of the presumption
that the proportion Of digestible dry
L.tter was similarly augmented a ]
per cent depression resulting from the
feeding of frozen silage is a negligible
quantity. No ill result on the butter
product was observed. 1t is reported
that silage made from frozen corn
keeps we'll in " $ cd silo. 1t would APP
pear, therefore. that the testimony Of
this trial is, Oh the whole, in favor Of
running frost risks to gain a greater
maturation.

BURIED IMMEDIATELY
Bodies Recovered at Monongall,
". Va, Badly %Decomposed.
MORE RAPID PROGRESS MADE
One Hundred and Forty-one Bodies
Have Been Brought to the Surface
Pushed as Fast as Possible.

T1aVe been 6rCuSnI TO the ouT!dSS
and the Work of Rescue Is Being
Pushed as Fast as Possible.
Monongah, W. Va, Dec. 11.-One
hundred and forty-one bodies have
been brought to the surface from
mines Numbers 6 and s Of the Fair
mont Coal company here. The work
of rescue is progressing as rapidly as
the necessary precautions for the
safety of the workmen will permit and
it Is expected the mines will be
cleared of their CHASTITY burden within
the next twenty-four hours.
A steady rain has fallen here all
day, adding to the discomfort of the
rescuers and making the work of re-
covering the bodies more difficult. OF
the fifty bodies taken from the mines
in the past twenty-four hours a ma
jority are SO mangled and decomposed
as to render preparations for imme'
date burial imperative and many
were sent direct from the mines to
the graveyard in compliance with the
order of the county board Of health to
prevent disease.
Work has been started on the right
side of mine No. s and it is believed
that many of the victims of the eXplo.
sion will be found there. The res.
cuers have penetrated about 5000 feet
in this mine and parties are now eX-
ploring nearly every section of mine
No. 6.
Large pumps have arrived at the
mines from Pittsburg and were in
stalled to remove water that had got
| ten into the mine from the river. The
fires which at first threatened and for
a time did stop the work of rescue
have been controlled by cutting off
the supply of air in the burning por-
lions Of the mines. However, all dan
| ger of further explosions is not past
and no attempt will be made to re-
open these sections of the mine until
it is definitely %ascertained that the
fire has been ~eXtinguished.

LITTLE ROAST PIG IN PROSPECT.

on account of grain crop conditions.
roast pig might we'll figure on the hol-
iday menu. Roasting pigs are the
youngsters from three to six weeks old
and weighing from fifteen to thirty
pounds. They have not been generally
found quoted in market reports, as they
have come to market in very small
numbers and only during the holiday
season.
Mr.. w. Dietrich of Illinois classes
them as pigs of very nearly uniform
grade; taken direct from their dams,
dressed with head and feet on m
served like spring chickens or turkeys.
The price varies greatly, ranging all
the way from regular live hog prices
to that paid for poultry. 1t must be
admitted that the delights of roast pig
are classic rather than popular as yet.
