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

quiet repose, indicating that their

GA8 EXPLOSION IN A MINE. '
Two Miners Killed, Eleven Injured, Twa
Fatally, tn a Pennsylvania Colliery.
Ashland, Pa., Aug. 27. 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 FOLLY OF CROSS BREED
INO POINTED OUT.
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.
