ELEVEN DIE WHEN
BIC TANK BLOWS Up
Fifty Others Injured as Result
of Molasses Container
Exploding.

BOSTON, Jan. 1G-Eleven persons
are known to have been killed and
about so injured by the explosion of n
huge tank of molasses on the water
front off Commercial street, near
keany square yesterday. Eight bodies
were recovered from the wreckage and
three men died at the relief hospital.
Most of those injured suffered only from
bruises.
The cause Of the explosion has not
been definitely determined. Walter l..
Wedger, explosives expert of the state
police, said that he was not prepared to
give a fun opinion, but hat it seemed
probable that it resulted from gas
fumes generated by fermenting mo-
lasses within the tank, which was not
full. The molasses had been kept warm
by steam heat from a plant at some
distance from the tank.
The tank was owned by the Purity
Distilling company, a subsidiary Of the
United States Industrial Alcohol com.
pany.
A dull. muffled roar gave hut an in
stant's warning before the top of the
tank was blown into the air. The cir
cular wall broke into two great seq
ments of sheet iron, which were i'm -
PEELED in opposite directions. Two mil
lion gallons of molasses rushed in a
stream over the streets and converted
into a sticky mass the wreckage OF sew
eral small buildings which had been
smashed BY the explosions.
A small dwelling on Cops Hills Ter
race slid into the street, apparently
sucked down by the receding tide OF
molaSses, and a woman was thrown
through a window and killed.

POISON ALL FIELD RODENTS
On Account Of Serious Damage Done
1t Behooves Farmer to Take Pre-
cautions in Time.

Of. l. WASHBURN, Division of Ento-
mology and Economic Zoology, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paull
Rodents of various kinds cause so
much damage that it behooves farm
ers and orchardists to take precautions
in time. Trunks of young orchard
trees should be protected from depre-
dations of rabbits and field mice by
wood veneer sheets which can be
bought for about 70 cents per hundred.
These last for two years and afford
good protection against sun scald in
the case of young trees as well as
against rabbits and field mice. Field
mice may be trapped with small gull
lotine traps, three OF which used to
sell for five cents. The pan should be
rubbed with bacon, as that is very at
tractive bait. A little oatmeal scat
tered on the pan is an additional at
traction. Field mice are easily pol
soned. A piece of apple one inch
square In which a small amount Of
powdered strychnine is placed is good.
The group of rodentia includes the
rabbits, squirrels, ground squirrels,
gophers, field mice ami woodchucks.
The loss occasioned by these pests in
Minnesota alone amounts to many
thousands of dollars.

WORK HORSES NEED PASTURE

''See that your work horses have pas
ture regularly, in addition to the grain
ration,' says p. K. Heerwagen of the
Colorado Agricultural college. "tf
work horses are turned into pasture
every night or for few hours every
evening, they will keep in much better
working trim than if they are kept on
dry ration. Putting work horses on
pasture is objected to by some, as it
is claimed the horses don't stand up to
the work, but this is due to either put
ting them on pasture at irregular times
or thinking pasture will supply all the
nutrients necessary for a work horse;--
it will for an idle horse, but not for a
work horse.
Pasture is tonic and appetizer
and keeps the system in good condition.
1t is also very nutritious feed"

FOOT AND HEAD DISEASE OF
CHICKS MAKES APPEARANCE

With the new crop of chickens cOm-
ing on, reports of the peculiar foot and
head disease of chickens that has been
so serious on the dry lands of eastern
Colorado, are very numerous. 1t is a
disease largely of little chickens which
manifests itself by the formation Of
blisters between the toes, around the
bill and on the eyelids. This is later
followed by scabby condition. The
eyelids are glued shut, toes turn up and
in many instances the chickens lie,
largely from inability to find food.
The disease appears to be associated
in some way with sod, since it has not
been found on an irrigated farm. How
ever, it is known to exist on dry knolls
in irrigated districts. Just what this
association is between sod and the dis
ease is still open to question.
In the older chickens that are fairly
strong, the application of carbolized
vaseline to the scabby toes and heads
will be found reasonably effective in
softening these parts and in preventing
chickens there appears to be no treat
ment that is really valuable.-L E.
