Seattle, Wash., Aug. 27. A ter rible calamity occurred in breast No. 02 on the sixth level of the Franklin mine, near this city yesterdav after noon. The cause was a fire in breast No. 62. Sixty-two miners were Im prisoned and thirty-seven were killed. The fire was soon extinguished and the work of taking out the bodies began. All were recovered. About half of the miners were col ored men, having been brought from the East four years ago to replace the strikers. The mine is owned bv the Oregon Improvement company and produces the best coal in the state of Washington. , Several men were badly bruised arc one colored man was taken out Jt ith a broken neck, their wounds in- uivauug iiim mey nau tnrown tnera selves against nosts and timbers of the gangway in a desperate endeavor to escape. But the majority of the ooaies oear no marks at all, not even a scratch, and their features were in quiet repose, indicating that their aeatn naa oeen a speedy and painless one. M. D.

Two men were killed and eleven injured, two fatally, by an explosion of gas in the Gilberton colliery, near this place yes terday morning. The explosion was primarily caused by a fall of coal, which became dislodged by the min ing operations. This relieved an im mense volume of gas and at the same time forced it along the gangways to a distance of more than 1,000 yards, 6tifling and choking the miners as it swept along. THE ' BLUEFIELDS TBOUBLE. Eight Americans Are Tut In Prison by the Ktcarairaans. V i Colon. Aue 27,--A schooner has ar rived here witVseventy refugees from Bluefields, MJsquito territory.

The country if described as being depopulated, and the business is said to have been stopped. The refugees also report that more Kicaraguan troops are arriving at Bluefields, and that 3,000 men are dua there. This display of force is an nounced to be caused by the deter mination of the Nicaraguans to resist foraicrn intarj rnoce in their affairs. Struck Dead by Lightning. Sauna, Kan., Aug. 27.

Alter list3ninfir to the arguments Judge Morrow continued the case until Monday, September 3, declaring that the treaty with Salvador pro vides for such continuances and that the delav asked for was tint. tin. reasonable.

Vtifttloiu Ierned by Experience Green H muring Care of Ewe Small Model Farm and Profits Derived From Them K.. rm Note, Home Hint. The Folly ,f Cross Breeding. We dislike to talk on the above sub cct. The folly has boen pointed out many times and in to many way by nearly every agricultural wr U:c or thinker, that one would I' iii .' that every man in the United Mates was as fully impressed with it as with the folly of gambling or bet ting tn another man s game. It is a f oi ly that is practiced continually, says the Kansas City Live Stock In dieator. When we think the lesson has been taught so fully that the dullest scholar comprehends it, some one iiseaand asks a question which shows that lie docs not even comDre hend the first priticip'es, and seems as guileless and innocent of all prac tical knowledge on this quest on as a new-born babe. The occasion of our referring to the matter again is a lengthy art cle in a lexas asricul tural paper by a writer who evidently thinks that he is a progressive farmer and has a patent way of tranHform- Ing the Jexas cows in a generation or two into first class dairy cattle His proposition is to cross the Jersey cow with the Ifolstein bull, and then cross the progen on the Texas cat tle. He tells us: '-Vou will find often a half-breed Holstein-Texan that is a live or six gallon cow have a trade Jersey cow that has given me five gallons of milk per aay ana ou'd be increased to six. Iter milk at best registers 82 cent of cream." and then adda: per "Now, suppose we cross on a Jer sey cow with her small size, quick. active, temperament, and richness of milk, but sinah quantity, say two and one-half or three ga'lons a day, with a liolstein bull of fine milk family. Iheso being both full-blood animals, their rogony would be im pressed (in a variable degree, of course) with the characteristics of both parents, larger and better milkers than Jerseys, smaller and richer milkers than Holsteins, and a better all-purpose cow than either, and a bull calf from such a cross, while being tt grado, of either side only half-b oeds. but, being thorough bred in both parents, would make the best bree&ing bull for the farmer or stockman that could be found. Being impressed by both sire and dam he must be able to impart the good qualities of both parents to his progeny. This, it will be observed, is purely theorectical. It Is a very fine theory, and we have often heard just this re sult predicted by farmers and even breeders. It is like a good many other plausible theories uttered by inexperienced and uninformed men, and utterly breaks down in practice. It violates every principle of correct breeding. The cross breeding of two thoroughbreds as widely different as the liolstein and the Jersey, and tho crossing of the produce on cattle as widely different from either as the Texan, does not perpetuate the good qualities of either, but givei the Texan blood, which is as thorough bred in its way almost as any of t'lem, full range. The result will be cattle that have neither the hardi ness of a Texan, the milking quaiilies of the liolstein, or the richness of the milk of the Jerseys, but wilLebe of as many colors fld qualities as Joseph's new coat. Thousands of farmers have tried similar experiments, and the universal testimony is that they have all been miserable failures. We sup pose, however, that every man must go through this once and hide the result by disposal of tho entire stock on his farmland then take up some other theory without carefully inves tigating and learning what has been the practical working out of the theory where it has been tried. It is too late in the day for men to deal with such complicated laws as those which govern the transmission of qualities in the animals to begin ex perimenting at the foundation. Near ly every man is an impractical theo rist until ho learns wisdom by exper ience The first requisite to success Is to find out what has been the ex perience of other men, and thus as certain the principles which govern the practice, and then in the light of all the information obtainable, follow as far as possible in view of his con ditions, what has been found the most practical by the best men. Small Model Farm. It is frequently demonstrated in various section's of the country that small farms under a high 6tate of cultivation and projerly managed will produce move personal comforts and better profit than a .large farm with a great variety, says a writer in Farmers Voice. ' There are hundreds of homes of from three to twenty acres that stand as models of what can be done financially with a limited number of acres. They make a spec ialty of one crop with f t orn one-third to one-half acre set aside for garden and small fruit Jer'hoiBe' consump tion. One s.iK-cialist of six acres of ground has raised onion sets for twenty years with a half acre of choice, fruit In 1892 the product of one tfcre of Bt;ts brought in $1,200. Thvs spring (last year was unfavor aW'o to onions) the same acre cleared him 11,010. ,This fruit oonsists in Ihoice plums, pears, quinces, peaches ,nd berries. Another grower has ten acres of grapes and two acres laid out in a mar'ket garden. This is a favored locality ' for the vine and a paradise for the market gardener, twelve acres in all. He is a member of the grape growers1 union and dea directly with the wholesale trade, doing away with all middle or com mission men. He lives fifteen miles from the city, but for all that hia garden products are taken there and delivered direct to customers. Some of these small farmers make a specialty of one thing and some an other, and 'are known by their especial trade, as onion, grape, flower, berry specialist. Their neat and lux-gl urient residences, their well-keptS lawns, dotted In summer with gay beds, shade trees and shrubs show plainly that there is not only added bank stock from year to year, but culture and refinement as welL Now what is being done in one place can be done in another, and if some of those farmers known as "land poor' would dispose of part of their posses sions and devote the proceeds to the production of the comforts and lux uries for their families, their homes and their surroundings, we would hear less of deserted farms, and the children would grow up to love the farm more and would be less liable to make the city their heme. Care of Ew. C. S. Smith, a Wisconsin flockmas- ter, speaking of the care of ewes, says he feeds corn for a grain ration and all the clover hay they will eat up clean, up to about two months of the expected lamb crop. Then com mence feeding bran and oats mixed in small quantities at first, but gen erally increase the bran and oats and decrease the shock corn so that at about two weeks before the crop you have them on bran and oats about one pint each norning and evening with all the clover hay they will eat up clean. A change to straw or other kinds of hay is good, and eaten with a relish. Keep their sheds well bedded, a chunk of rock salt within their reach, and plenty of good, cool drinking water. Give them the run of a good sized yard, or better, a few hours in the fields or pasture when the snow is not too deep. It does the ewes lots of good and we think makes stronger lambs. Good shelter, that can be closed up in stormy weather and cold nights, should be provided, and see to it that the sheep are under it, and esoeci: ally during a cold, wet storm. Journal of Agriculture. Home Hints. Flowers look just as sweet anfl there is just as delightful a perfume when on the iarmer s table as when on anyone else's table. Do not de spi.se flowers.

It must be a relief occasionally to ar rive at a place unexpectedly and find beefsteak, or codfish, or Irish stew, in place of the inevitable chicken for sweet variety's sake. Almost any vegetable may be eaten with beef. If potatoes are not served with the fish, course, they generally accompan; the beef, being mashed, fried in balls, or cooked in any prej ferred way. W hen sweet potatoes are provided it is obviously an error to serve bakei s iiiash as an additional vegetable, the two beimr too much alike. At company dinners fceef is generally served with mushroom sauco. Hoseradish. is also a popular accompaniment for beef. There are many ways in which a basket of strawberries may be used for desert There v re the daintiest of strawberry t trts made of fresh straw berries. These are simply shells of pastry filled with perfectly fresh, ripe berries well sweetened. After filling the "shells" with the sweetened berries, set them ' in the oven a few moments to let the sugar melt: then let the tarts cool and serve them heaped w'th whipped cream. Miells of pull paste can easily be procured from any French baker. K:rra Ntei. Manure should bo well rotted before putting on the ground.

Nothing ctn be clothed with more facts than the statement, that thousands of farmers and fruit-growers will leave the more northern climes and locate in Texas. This was evinced by the excursion of January 9th, over the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific to Texas, and the hun dreds that availed themselves of the low rate were well repaid for th trip, and ir each one could be heard on the subj'-ct, the unanimous verdict would be. "It is better than I expected to see, ard just suits me " t Many thousands will avail Ihemselves of these coming excursions and low rate offered, as did the Hundreds en the last one, and evoryone who desires to secure a farm of 160 acres, or a 20 or a 40 acre fruit tract in that land of mild climate, ehfiuld not stand on the order of their going but "Go" the first excursion pos slble.
