In the Mining and Scientific Press of october 23 last a peculiar blasting acci- dent was recorded in the Deadwood newsletter. Three men in the Orc Hon. d. shaft had lit the fuses of a round ,5 holes, and climbed into the bucket. owing to a delay in starting the hoist ing engine which was on dead-center one man became excited. jumped from the bucket, his light went out. and the bucket was hoisted His companions missed him. and grabbed the beil-cord, giving the signal to stop; but the man in the shaft. not knowing that, started to climb the bell-cord. thus giving an other signal which carried the bucket and two men to safety on the l5oo-foot level Of course the bell-cord broke, loaying the man in the midst of b holes, loaded heavily and about to explode. Getting in corner he barricaded him. self with blanks and heard eight of the holes fred he says he heard no more until his companions dug him out in- tending to take his remains to the undertaken. Aside from few slight bruises. and . nervous shock, he was not harmed and In a few days was as before. The fault. in this case, was carelessness in not having kept the lad ger extended to the bottom of the shaft. A somewhat similar case occurerd in q gold mine at Grass Valley. The hoist refused to work, leaving several miners in shaft among round of holes with
 t fuses. All but one of the men tried
 climb the timbered sides of the shaft. That one. with praiseworthy coolness. cut all the fuses with. his knife, and sue caeded In beating the round.

wITHHoLbINe JUDGMENT.

A New York man left home be-
cause his wife gave him fapjacks
every morning for breakfast. He de-
serves no sympathy unless the flap
jacks were inedible. A flapjack wor-
thy of the name, served piping hot,
with rich golden butter and ribbon
cane strip, and cup of good coffee
con the side," is truly feast fit for
the gods, who never tasted anything
better on high Olympus. But flap
jack cold and clammy, and just
about as digestible as the rubber mat
mother puts the flower pot on, is
sufficient in our opinion to wreck the
happiest home that ever existed.

WEANLING PIGS GROW FAST
Greatest Gains for Feed Consumed
Are Made In Early Life-Lard
Hogs Becoming Unpopular.

The prevalent opinion seems to be
that swine were designed to eat up
the corn crop and grow into 300
pound porkers. Under certain cir
cumstances there is a better profit in
selling weanlings than in feeding
them up to the usual market weights.
Exact trials at many experiment
jtations show that the greatest gains
FOR feed consumed are made in early
life and that as the animals grow old
er it takes more feed to produce
pound of pork.
The sucking pig grows very fast
and converts nearly all of its rations
into meat. II the SOW is fed literally
she, too, will make some gains while
supporting her brood, The weanling
weighing 25 to 40 pounds is almost
clear gain and will often bring ten
cents a pound at this age.
On the same principle the 150-pound
pig will make more profitable re-
turns ON feed consumed than If left
until 1t weighs $50 pounds. There is
an increasing number of farmers who
prefer to sell light bacon hogs" and
fewer who continue to feed lard
hogs" up to the extra fat classes that
were popular a score of years ago.

Sow With Profitable
Litter.

ter, yet the cost of maintenance of
the brood SOW is practically the same
whether she brings two pigs or ten
pigs per litter, which means that the
farmers are losing a large percentage
of profit by keeping such brood sows
in their herds.
There are several reasons why
brood sows bring small filters, and
firmly believe that the one which con-
tributes to the trouble more than any
other is the practice of breeding sows
too young. 1t is no uncommon thing
to find sows weighing less than one
hundred pounds with pigs. Usually
you find them with only two pigs. The
young sows which you intend to keep
for brood sows should never be bred
under nine months of age, and it is
much better to wait until they are
twelve or fourteen months old. Then
il they are not full developed, wait a
few months longer. Your brood SOW
is good for six or eight years, and, If
by waiting a few months in the be-
ginning before starting her on her life
work, you can increase the size of her
litters, you have certainly made good
wages for those months. Another
thing which contributes to no slight
extent to cause small filters is the
lack Of exercise.

GOOD VENTILATION FOR HOGS
Frequently When Shed Is Closed AMI.
mails Become Heated and Must
lnhale Impure Air.

OF little less importance than the
ventilation OF this years crop Of corn
is that OF securing proper ventilation
for the animals that eat it. according
to the Nebraska College Of Agricul-
ture. This is particularly true Of
hogs.
Frequently when the shed is closed
tightly the hogs will become heat
ed, as we'll as be obliged to inhale
impure air. Such hogs, on being ex-
posed to cold air, are likely to be-
come susceptible to disease. espe-
cially pneumonia and so-called hog
rheumatism.

CAUSES FOR SMALL LITTERS
One Reason Which Contributes to
Trouble More Than Any other Is
"a, Breeding Young sows.

"Can you tell me why my brood
sows only bring between three and six
pigs per litter?"
Replying to this question Prof. G.
w. Barnes. live stock specialist of the
University of Arizona agricultural ex-
tension service, says:
IF you have studied hog conditions
in the United States you will find that
about four pigs per litter is the aver
age; and can point to you men in
Arizona who are actually raising for
market two and three pigs to the lit.
