a series of explosions in the Cadeby
colliery have been brought to the sur

1t is believed a further search of
the mine will increase the death roll
to eighty.
OF the killed, thirty were mine
workers. The others were men who
went into the pits to rescue those en-
tombed. Among these were three gov
ernment inspectors, including William
Henry Pickering, chief inspector OF
mines for Yorkshire and North Mid
land districts, who was to have eX-
planned to King George and Queen
Mary the workings of another York
shire colliery
The King visited a colliery adjacent
to that in which the explosion oc-
Cured.
The presence of their majesties in
the district greatly minimiZed the ia
talities, because the miners had taken
a holiday. Thirty-two men were work
ing in that part of the mine when
the accident occurred. Thirty were
killed outright, and one, the manager
of the pit, was brought up alive, but
died
The first explosion occurred early
in the morning. 1t was followed by
an explosion later which resulted in
the collapse of the roof, overwhelming
the entire rescuing brigade.
The King and Queen visited the

1t is claimed, and tests have proven
have made the test, that it requires
from IL to IS per cent less ground
grain to produce a given amount OF
meat, or milk, or horse power than
when whole or unground grain is used.
This means that the farmer who
feeds whole grain looses from IL to 35
cents on every dollars worth of feed
that is given to the farm animals in
this form.
seemed like SO great a waste, but now
when the prices of feed stuffs are so
high it means considerable.
On most farms where corn is the
principal crop, it is ted on the cob be-
cause it is convenient and usually
practice.
1t is just as important to get all that
can be gotten out of the grain after
1t is harvested as it is to produce the,
crop, and it would be safe to say that 1t
is more important.
Observation will bear us out in the
statement that it is not the man that
sees how much work he can do, or
how much territory he can farm over
that makes the most at farming. 1t Is
the man who eliminates waste. and
takes care of his possessions in such
a way that he realizes all that there is
in what he produces.
If we can save thirty-five per cent
of the corn by having it ground before
feeding it to the horses does it not
look as though We could make pretty
good wages if we would have 1t
ground.
Just figure out what saving OF
thirty-five per cent on horse feed
means in one year.
Horses will stand the work better
and look better on much less grain ii
it is ground than they will on the ear
corn.
This fact was demonstrated to our
satisfaction right here on this place
last year.
We have a neighbor who feeds
crushed corn to his horses, that is, he
grinds the kernels and cobs together
He has the latest and sleekest looking
horses in the neighborhood, and he
claims that the amount of this crush
ed corn he feeds is equal to only three
ears of corn.
The saving that results from feeding
ground grain to fattening hogs may be
seen in the following table:
Whole corn compared with corn
meal for fattening hogs for period OF
four weeks

1t requires more work, of course, tc

In connection with this subject Of
feeding ground feed it may b well TO
say that, il there 10 considerable stock
to be fed. it will pay and nay we'll to
arrange to grind the feed on tho farm.
One is more apt to always have = good

toll for grinding is not out OF reason.
but there are other things In conpsc-
ton with hauling the grain to mill
that are quite annoying and unsatisfac-
tory.
