Engineers, in Raising Ship, Will Find
Out How She Was Blown Up.
Washington-Engineers soon will be
sent to Cuba to make preliminary sur.
vey Of the condition of the battleship
Maine, which was blown up in Havana
harbor just before the Spanish War
This was decided at the first meeting
of the Board of Army Engineers, ap-
pointed several weeks ago under the
authorization of Congress, to proceed
with the removal of the wreck.
Composing the board are Colonel viii.
liam NJ Black, Lieutenant Colonel NJ.
NJ. Patrick and Captain H. B. Fergu-
son.
Two objects will be kept in mind by
the board in removing the battleship.
The first will be to recover the bodies
of the sailors who lost their lives when
the ship was blown up, the second to
ascertain whether the vessel was blown
up from the inside or from the outside.

1868 per cent between 1900 and 1910

Bodies Taken Out.

Forty-tive white men and $40 ne
grOes We're entcmDed in No. 8 coal
mine at Palos, Ala, as the result of a
terrific explosion, and it is believed
all are dead. Palos is forty miles west
of Birmingham and the mines are
owned by the Palos Coal and Coke
Company OF that city. W bodies
were found.
The flames resulting from the eNplo-
sion shot into the air from the mouth
OF the slope for a distance of 200 feet
II the shock was felt for miles. Tim
bers from the slope were hurled sew
eral hundred feet from it's mouth and
rocks from the root OF the slope caved
in and made access to the mouth very
difficult. The fan machinery was bad

The two bodies recovered were in the

James Gousby, a mail carrier, was
killed thirty feet from the mouth of
the slope and his body was hurled thir-
ty feet into the Warrior River. He
was walking along the railroad track
and was directly in front of the slope
when the explosion occurred. 1t vas
judged from this that the force of the
explosion was such that none of the
men in the interior could possibly be
alive.
The Palos mines have been worked
for a number of years and the entries
were extensive. 1t is thought that the
explosion was caused by the accu!mu-
latiOn of gas in some of the abandon
ed entries.

Ice for SuIMmer Use.

Every farmer should practice stor
ing ice to use during the summer
months. There is little loss to keep
ing ice if proper attention is paid to
packing when being stored. Ice can
be preserved for an indefinite length
of time in any place that will hold
sawdust, keep out storm and has good
drainage. The building need in no
way be costly. An old building, well
constructed. will answer the purpose
just as we'll as a new structure. For
many years | stored ice in an old
shed practically useless for other pur-
poses, and the ice kept remarkably
we'll. Many farmers fail to put up ice
for summer because they have no
place considered good enough in which
TO pack. On nearly every Northern
farm there can be found some place
where ice can be stored without even
repairing the building other than to
lay a few tile to afford adequate drain
age. If there is no convenient out
let for tile drainage a few loads Of
course gravel will answer for a floor
OF the building and also furnish nee
essary drainage. The keeping Of ice
depends largely upon the manner Of
packing. Straw is a good material for
packing, but sawdust is a great deal
better. A space of at least twelve
inches should be left between the ice
and building for spacing %rpose

The gigantic tropical t~iretiies which
swarm in the forests and canebrakes
of most of the low lying West Indian
islands once proved the salvation OF
the city of San Domingo. A body OF
buccaneers, headed by the notorious
Thomas Cavendish, had laid all their
plans for a descent upon the place,
intending to massacre the inhabitants
and carry away all the treasure they
conveniently could, and had actually
put OFF their boats for that purpose.
AS they approached the land, however,
rowing with mufled oars, they were
greatly surprised to see ar infinite
number of moving lights in the woods
which fringed the bayou up which
they had to proceed. and, concluding
that the Spaniards knew of their APP

between the castle and any town would
be watched to prevent communication,

At 10 that evening up rode an arm

the outer court was thrown open as il

h man who is raising spriua
lambs for market aims to make taem
rat as quickly as possible; there is
always an unsupplied demand for this
class of live stock, and there is a
tendency to rush the little animals to
market as fast as they can be fatten-
ed. Corn with clover hay Is consid-
cred the most profitable ration by lead
ing lamb growers.
The eve before lambing should have
a variety of s%ucculent feeds, such as
mangels, beets, green's, clover and
meadow hay. A small quantity of feed
containing protein nay be fed advan.
~tageously, as it supplies the bone
building material lacking in most
foods, and keeps the bowels in good
condition. After lambing the concen-
trated feed should consist of a large
part of bran, all that will be eaten
up clean, with clover or meadow hay
for roushness. This ration will an
swer for lambs also. Turn the eve and
her young to grass for a short time
during the warmest part of the day.
This treatment will insure the most
favorable conditions for the develop.
ment of the lamb up to the time it is
to be fed and marketed in the yearling
class, when it should be finished on
a concentrated ration, including corn,
with such roughness as the feeder may
find available.
The study of sheep and lamb feed
ing is n of great interest, but the
main point to be considered is that tie
balanced ration which contains the
highest percentage of digestible nu.
trients will produce the best results.

Holding the Crops.

With normal conditions the crop Of
staple products Of the soil for this
year will, without q doubt, be a rec
ord breaker. The prices now being
paid and that have been paid, will be
a sure stimulant to the farmers of the
country to produce more, if they can,
of wheat, corn and cotton. With the
present prices asked and given for
beef and pork, those situated so they
may grow more cattle and hogs will
undoubtedly do their best. The tillers
of the soil are like other people, they
like to do that that pays.
In nearly every leading paper pub
lished in the cotton states the farm
attention to cotton, their staple crop.
If they were urged to curtail the crop
with present prices prevailing it
would be in vain, but they are being
advised to raise more corn and more
cattle and more hogs, and to thus en-
able themselves to not only get all
they can for their cotton. but to spend
less of it for that out of which comes
their bread and meat.
NSSSlit "hASA ScldS / Jill
Trustworthy sources are to the effect
that many millions Of bushels of
wheat and corn, and many thousands
of bales of cotton of last years crop
remain in the hands of the producers.
Conditions are not what they used to
be. Farmers, thousands of them, who
used to be burdened with mortgages,
now have bank accounts and money
for whatever they need or want. They
can afford to hold their crops for the
best prices, and have lone it.
This means millions of dollars
worth of the crop of last year are yet
to be cashed, and it means continued
business for the transportation lines.
1t means the addition of last years
surplus to this years products. And,
by the way, the fact that the pro.
ducers have been able to hold their
products accounts for the high cost
of living. in part at least. With good
crops this year and the surplus of last

Very few people eve stop to observe
what very useful things animals tails
are to their owners. Horses, cows and
other creatures use their caudal appen-
dages as fly flappers. Cats, squirrels
and many more, twist them around
their necks for comforters. The rat
has raised the use of his tail to a fine
art, for by its means its guides the
blind and steals jelly, oil and cream
out of jars and bottles.
The raccoon catches crabs with it's
tail, and the monkey finds his tail a
valuable asset in swinging his way
through his native forests. Fish steer
their way by means Of their tail, the
ant eater uses his bushy tail as an
umbrella, while the vanity of the pea
cock is fed by the beauty of its tail
