CORONER RUSSUM. .|S INVEST |CAT INC
 ACCIDENT IN MINE
Four Negroes and White Man Killed Wednesday in DoIo- mite No. 1 of Wood-
 ward Company

Coroner J. D. Russum Thursday will continue investigation of the ac- cident which early Wednesday morn ing caused the death of four negro track laborers and a white track man of the Woodward Iron company in a heading of Dolomite mine No. 1 of the company, three miles north of Woodward. Coroner Russum began his investigation Wednesday.
 Officials of the company stated that the men met instaht death when a lccal gas pocket explosion occurred near the second cross in No. 35 west heading, where the men had gone to remove rails. operations in that part of the mine having ceased December IS. 1922.
 Frank Lewis of Dolomite. in charge of the gang, had been instructed twice by the night foreman in the mine to have the heading inspected by Robert Harrison. fire boss, before taking his crew in, according to A. J. Boynton, general manager. Lewis ignored these instructions, reports to MT. Boynton stated. the explosion taking place shortly after the men entered the heading.
 
 groes were listed by the company as having been killed by the explosion: Robert Giles of Bessemer. Dan McCan of Dolomite, Zollie White of Bessemer and John Mims of Brighton. Lewis was the only married man.
 First intimation of an accident came when Harrison, the fire boss, coming along the main slope, de- tected the odor of burnt gas at the intersection of the headings cross air course with the main slope, with in an hour after the explosion, ac cordlng to MT Boynton. Search was made and the bodies of Lewis and three negroes found. Mims' body was recovered at 12:30 o'clock Wednes- day afternoon, 20 feet from the spot where the others were lying.
 The accident occurred as the re- suit of disregard of instructions" MT. Boynton declared Wednesday. Our reports are that Lewis was twice told to have the heading inspected by the fire boss before taking his men in to work He was an experienced man and had been with the company for several years. He probably thought there was little danger of gas be- cause he had been working there Monday night
 Dolomite No. 1 is about two miles from No. 3, where 90 miners were killed November 22 as the result of a dust explosion.
 Funeral services for the men will be announced Thursday by Huey & Mcconnell, Bessemer undertakers.

Large production and prompt ship ments during December are believed ir industrial circles, to be partially responsible for the slight decrease In the unified tonnage of the steel cor poration on January 1, compared with December l. fulfilled tonnage Jan uary 1, was 6.745,7O3 tons, a de- crease Of 94,bs9 tons.
 All the Alabama plants of the steel corporation are on full turn and have been for some time both on foreign and domestic business. Japan has just ordered 10000 tons of rails through the corporations export auxiliary and these are expected to be rolled at Ensley, where the or ders for the Orient are usually cared for.

PORTABLE CLINICS IMP POSS|BLE N0W, SAYS DR. DOWL |NG
County Dental Work Must Be Handled Through Central Office Under Appropria-
 ton, He States

Abandonment of contemplated pro-
 gram for portable dental clinics to serve rural sections of the county
 will be the response of the health department to appropriation of $66,-
 900 for 1923 by the board of revenue,
 according to pr. J. D. Bowling,
 health officer, who returned to Bir- mingham Wednesday.
 The Appropriation, which is s9,ooo
 less than that asked. was voted Tues
 day. It will enable the department
 to keep present forces and activities
 intact, pr. Bowling said. but will not admit of any expansion. He affirmed emphatically that the department would operate within it's budget, with the possible exception of having to ask later for a nominal sum to help
 finance the nursing staffs, half the cost of which has heretofore been
 borne by the government.
 T had hoped the board of revenue would not make the appropriation
 until there had been another confer ence with the board of health" said
 Dr. Bowling. T do not think they fully understood the situation with reference to the nursing staffs, hat the cost of operation of which has heretofore been borne by the govern ment, but which the county will now have to support entirely.
 Expects Salary Changes
 --"I asked for s75,0o0, which would have been sufficient to finance the portable dental clinics throughout the county, and also take care of the nursing staffs. I said the present work could probably be carried on
 for 5000. the amount spent last year, but I did not mean that the nursing staffs could be financed with that. However, with some readjust-
 ments of salaries in the department, think we may be able to keep with in the budget, and also pay the other half on the nursing staffs. All the dental work, however. will have 10 be handled through the central clinic"
 The federal aid for the nursing ar vision was extended in anticipation of the states matching the S5,ooo Sheppard -Towner fund. This has not been done and the government mas withdrawn its aid.
 "The health department is grau- fled" continued Dr. Bowling, thaI the board of revenue has recognized the value of putting the approprla- tion on the per capita basis. We hope that the city will follow next year, and that within five years the fuli s1 per capita, to which the health de nartuent is definitely commtteu' will be reached"

COLORADO RECEIVED $4s 10000
FROM TOURISTS THIS YEAR

Denver.-Colorado has received S45,-
100000 from tourist business thus far
In 1928. the directors of tht Denver
Tourist Bureau were told at their an
nual meeting and dinner in the Brown
Palace hotel.
Frank A. Bare, retiring president Of
the bureau, declared at the meeting
that this amount had been spent in
1923 by 650,OOO tourists who have vis-
ited the state so far this year and that
these figures represent an increase of
10 to 10 per cent In the volume of rail
traffic and 1914 per cent in automobile
traffic
Mr.. Bare recommended to the meet
ing that the bureau cooperate more
fully with other tourist agencies of the
state, including the National Park
service, National Forest service, Great
er Colorado, Inc, and the Rocky Noun
tain Morotists, Inc.
The directors of the bureau ex-
pressed agreement with Mr.. Bare's
statement that the travel business of
Colorado is the forerunner of greater
industrial and agricultural activity and
pledged themselves to larger activities
on behalf Of the bureau In the coming
year.
Mayor Stapleton praised the work of
the bureau in promoting exhibits of
Colorado products at Overland park,
each county receiving free space for
its exhibit. Harry Burhans, secretary
of the bureau, recommended the use Of
the dance hall at Overland park for
such exhibits next year and Mayor Sta
pletOn pledged his cO-Oneratinn.

Basis of Dairy Profits
in Food, Feed and Care

zone COW, well fed and cared for
VIII make more milk and profit than
two or more cows poorly fed and
cared for" is the keynote expressed
In Wisconsin Circular 151 by George
G. Humphrey of the animal husbandry
department of the Wisconsin College
Of Agriculture.
Don't be satisfied to buy or raise
anything but good dairy cows.
Don't try to keep more cows than
1t Is possible to feed and care for well.
Threat the cows kindly. Rough
treatment greatly reduces the amount
Of milk she produces.
Feed liberal rations. Make this
possible by laying In store of good
grains such as corn, barley and oats
and some alfalfa or clover hay. These
feeds make good combination when
fed with roots or silage.
provide plenty of fresh water
which Is cool but not too cold. 1t takes
lot of water to make milk so it must
be provided.
protect the cows from cold, chill
Ing weather and storms and dampness.
1t helps to increase milk production.
"Give the mother of the newborn
calf a pail Of warm water-she Is
feverish and this Will relieve her
thirst.
"Her first feed should be five or six
quarts of ground oats and wheat
bran"
These are but few of the many
timely suggestions offered by Mr..
Humphrey in the bulletin. which with
the valuable rations suggested make
this most desirable little pamphlet
for the dairyman.

Infamed Udder of Cow
May Be Avoided by Feed

1t Is seldom, If ever, necessary to
milk COW before freshenlng. II the
bag is badly swollen and milk drips
from the teats, 1t Is sometimes gIOd
idea to relieve the bag by drawing n
little milk but the mere presence of
Inflammation and cake" in the udder
does not necessarily mean that the
milking should be done. 1t Is much
better to leave the COW alone In this
regard as the last few days before
freshening the COW secretes peculiar
quality Of milk called colostrum in her
udder, which is very essential to the
newborn calf as 1t acts as a purga-
tive and helps to clear out his system.
Excessive difficulty from Inflammation
and caked udders may be avoided by
giving laxative feeds.

|[( THE ny
Variation in Butterfat
Tests Nothing Unusual

The pure-bred dairyman as well as
In the tests for butterfat upon their
cattle. Quite frequently these tests
are made either upon the entire herd
or upon individuals Of the herds. When
these tests are compared with tests
made previously, wide variation or
when these tests are made within
few days of each other and the varia-
tion is surprising. Such fluctuations
are often looked upon with suspicion,
while 1t should be realized that 1t is
quite natural for cows to vary In their
tests for butterfat. In fact when this
point is Investigated 1t Is found that
cows vary more In their tests than Ia
commonly thought.
Some years ago the Michigan Agri-
cultural college published special
bulletin containing the work of Ander-
son upon the variations In the percent
age of butterfat of single milkings of
cows upon test. The seven-day tests
Of 200 cows handled under ordinary
herd conditions were studied as well
as similar records upon 1900 cows en-
tered In the advanced registry Of their
respective breeds. Any conclusions
reached by these Investigations can be
looked upon as being Indicative of the
real condition, as the number of milk
ings studied Is large enough to war
rant this.
1t may be expected that 80 per cent
OF the cows in herd will vary in the
percentage of butterfat in the milk
produced at individual mIlkings In a
seven-day period per cent or less.
Fifty per cent of the cows during a
Ike period will vary In their tests
from IL to 2 per cent, Ia per cent will
vary from 81 per cent to per cent,
While the remaining per cent will
show a variation between milkings Of
more than 3 per cent. From these facts
we may conclude that 1t Is not surprls-
Ing to have cow test per cent at
one milking and test per cent at the
next milking. l have actually seen a
cow test 1.S per cent in the morning
and test over 8 per cent In the after
noon. In herd of 100 cows the aver
age variation of the entire herd test
would be LAO per cent based upon
these figures.-B. w. Fairbanks, Colo
