SPARK EXPLODES DUST
Girls Dead and Dying As Result
of Explosion.
Victims Taken from Manitowoc Plant
After Blast With Clothing
On Fire.

Manitowoc, Wis.-Four girls are
dead, four fatally burned and scores
of others were seriously injured by an
explosion of dust on the third floor Of
the plant of the Aluminium Goods
Manufacturing company here.
The girl victims were carried from
the building with their clothing in
flames. The city ambulance and doz-
n Of private automobiles were press.
ed into service to carry the injured
to the hospital.
Blocked Blower Starts Spark.
The accident happened on the third
floor in the buffing department. An
instrument known as a blower became
blocked and in attempting to remedy
the defect, it is thought a spark was
caused which Immediately caused the
gas and dust to explode. All the win,
dows on the third floor of the plant
were blown out. The explosion was
heard for more than two miles. A
fire resulted causing heavy damage.
More than 200 girls who were EN-
ployed in the buffing department were
panic stricken and several of them
were hurt in the wild rust for the
doors which followed the explosion.
About 1000 men and women were in
the plant at the time of the blast.

In his last note, the President re-
iterated in an emphatic manner his
stand, from which he asserted there
could be no departure, as the course
decided on by the premiers would be
"shortsighted and not in accord with
the terrible sacrifices of the entire
world, which can be justified and en-
nobled only by leading finally to settle

POULTRY
Scratch Feed.

Litter on the floor of the poultry house is
necessary to induce the birds to exercise
Shavings or straw make the best litter and can
be secured by the bale from most feed dealers
at a reasonable sum. Whatever is decided upon
as the litter, material should be kept clean and
fresh and a sufficient amount used to insure
a depth of at least six inches on the floor OF
the poultry house This makes an ideal scratch
ing pen for hens and it is in this litter that all
scratch feed for fowls should be scattered.
While scratch feed is commonly fed twice
daily, many of the best poultry men feed 1t only
once a day. lust an hour or two before roosting
time. This plan, in the writer's opinion, is the
best if the fowls have plenty of dry mash I'm
an open hopper before them continually. Re
suits at experimental stations and on leading
poultry farms prove the wisdom of this method.
Scratch feed supplies body energy apd pro-
vides exercise. Mash feed supplies the mater
ial for eggs The one cannot do without the
other if eggs are to be secured.
That a good dry mash is big factor in
egg production is acknowledged by all who are
experienced in the hens needs. SO far as the
ingredients and the percentage of each to be
used. however experts of course, differ, and
there are many good reasons for such differ
ences. However. il is universally agreed that
certain proportions of all rations should con-
sist of animal food. green food and ground
grain.
