New York World. SOUR MILK FOR CALVES. Sour milk is not fit food for a calf. It may keep the animal alive, but it will not thrive or make a healthy growth. The sour milk will quickly curdle in the stomach and cause indi gestion. It is this way of feeding a calf that makes so many poor cows, for an animal that has been stunted in its early growth will never recover -the loss afterward. Skimmed milk, if sweet, is good for any calf, but it should be warmed to eighty or ninety degrees, as it is most digestible at that temperature. Fat is not so much required for a young calf. Muscular growth is needed more than fat, an I thus makes a better cow iiiau if the food made a fat animal. It is qui to safe to give a month-old calf a h 'Jit ration of ground oats au l cm ;o -i', a few ounces at first, gradually iucij.. ing. New York Times. FATTENINO SIIEFP. When the hog has stopped putting on flesh or fat he must be lisjo-;od of, no matter what the market, for after that period all food given is practi cally wasted. Uut the case is uitFc-ront with sheep. After rcac-iiin iluir maximum weight and condition as to flesh that will cat but little, and this is amply paid for in tlrj increase in quantity and quality oL' wool. lie sides prices of mutton ! ti u p aro al ways better after the we.uh.-r 'iK'gin.i to get warm, as mutton is moio of a hot than cold weather foo 1. Again, the market will pay more for nicely shorn and well handled wool than the; butchers will ; and wool can ha more cheaply freighted when packed in sacks than when on the sheep's back. Another consideration is shorn sheep, if well fattened, will sell for more than unshorn, for the former can be seen by the buyer at a glance, while tho latter must be carefully inspected, one by one, and lastly, shorn sheep will ship more comfortably and be in bet ter condition when reaching market than unshorn. These conditions make all winter feeding most desirable. Farm, Stock and Home. BEES AND FRUIT. The business of the horticulturist and that of ihe apiculturist are each a necessary adjunct of the other, says a lady writer. The beekeeper may pay a wonderful sum for the best bees in the world, may have them in the best of hives with movable frames, queen excluding honey boards, etc., etc. : above the brood nest he may have the whitest of section boxen, every one containing a foundation starter ; in fact, havo everything ready to catch the surplus honey when the honey flow shall come if the land be not full of flowers on every hand there will be no surplus for - him. Professor Wilson has made an elaborate calcula tion, and concludes that it would re quire 2,500,000 florets like tho3e of the white clover to yield one pound of clover honey. This gives some idea of the vast number of blossoms necessary, as well as the amount of labor represented in every honey comb. Tho fruit grower may ransack the earth for new and improved varieties; he may be as skillful as possible in planting; he may graft and propagate and hybridize, and yet if the winds are not favorable aud the bee does not visit the blossoms in search of pollon or nectar the blossoms will soon wither and fall and never produce the fruit for which the blos soms lived and grew, and for which the horticulturist had bestowed upon the tree or plant his labor, fore thought and fostering care. Chicago Times. THE STUDY OF AGRICULTURE. Agriculture is the basis of our national progress and prosperity. While this fact is widely recognized, yet the study of this most important of all callings is not placed in the curriculum of the public schools of the country. Generations of chil dren pass through life without ability to distinguish between wheat and barley when they see it growing. It seems necessary to bo born on a farm to be acquainted with even the rudi ments of agriculture. This is all wrong. The studies cf the school room should be arranged to meet this oversight. True, men have become famous in many ways, whose sole equipment was furnished in the com mon schools of the country, but these have yet to graduate a scholar who was ever aided in his life work as a farmer by the knowledge acquired in them. The introduction of sound text books on agriculture in rural pub lic schools would remedy this defect of the system under which they are operated. The children of farmers have as perfect a right to the technical knowledge of their prospective call ing, as that such knowledge of things that at best are but mere accomplish ments shall be taught. The tendency toward the latter is very manifest in many directions in the studies of the public schools. It is always better to teach a few things that tho student may be fully acquainted with them rather than to overwhelm him with a lot of useless trash that retard him in his life work. For that reason agri culture should form a prominent future in the studies of rural public schools, because of its future useful ness to the average attendant at them. American Dairyman. SUMMER FORAGE CROPS. When extra feed is needed as early as June there is nothing better than clover. The best time for sowing clover is in July or the early part of August. It may readily follow some forage crop fed off in midsummer. When grown for forage the clover should be seeded at the rate of twenty pounds to the acre, and will produce ten to twelve tons of green for age, worth at least a fourth more than timothy for feeding purposes. Oats and peas, sown at the rate of one and one half bushels of oats and two of peas per acre, will afford excel lent forage for midsummer. The peas should either be plowed into the length of four or five inches or else the seed be well covered by use of a wheelbarrow. The oats should be sown several days after the peas and lightly harrowed in. By sowing three or four small areas one week apart, starting as early in the spring as pos sible, this crop will supply fresh, nutritious forage for about a month, beginning with the last week in June; while if the whole is sown at one time part of the fodder becomes dry and woody before it can be utilized. On fertile sods a second crop of clover should be available by the first of August and will afford the best of feed for ten days or two weeks at this period of the summer. With most farmers corn is the great forage crop for late summer, and early fall feeding. While it is doubtful if there is any crop that will produce a larger amount of food material per acre, there are a number of legumin ous crops that can be grown with lees drain upon the soil and will afford forage of much higher nntritivo value pound for pound. In Southern New Eugland and as far north as Central New York, the cow pea can be easily grown on warm, light soils, while the soja bean affords a large amount of excellent forage and can be grown in nearly all parts of New England. These crons will afford forage from about the middle of August till the killing frosts com:;. Eato in September it is sometimes found iucoKKary to use rowen from the mowing field and in this case the more clover there is in it tho better. Grasses when young and tender are more nitro genous than in the larger stages of growth, and hence rowen affords a much better food than tho full grown grasses. For a late fall feed there is no crop yet in use equal to barley and peas. Tiiis crop can be sown the first part of August on tho clover ground, or it ii;iy fuiluY the oats and peas. Two bushels of peas and one of barley make a goo 1 mixture. Both of these plants wit island frosts well and make excel lent growth in cool weather. New England Farmer. FARM AVI) CARDEX NOTES. Gi -e the peas a light, rich soil. Red raspberries should not be given deep cultivation. Do not forget parsley seed. A small package will yield enough to use all tho year. Many are discarding the polo lima, and taking up the bush lima bean as a specialty. Young bees aro valuable in the spring, and none should be allowed to die from caielcssness. Sow celery need early. It is esti mated that one ounce of seed will pro duce about 2500 plants. Beeswax will be darkened if melted in an iron vessel. It is better to use brass or copper vessels. The best shipping crates for honey are of a single tier, and hold from twelve to twenty-four pounds. Dasswoo I is light, white, and free from gumminess. Nothing so far has been found to equal it for making pound sections. The butter dryer is the self-describing name of a newly invented machine that seems to be giving great satisfac tion in England. Never set plants of a poor quality. Poor seed will make a failure, but only for a single year, while poor plants last over many seasons. All fruit plants, including trees, should have a generous supply of fine, light-colored, fibrous roots, in order to be of a vigorous and healthy growth. For the potato crop sulphate is thought to be much better than muri ate of potash, for it gives a greater yield and improves the quality in a higher degree. A large amount of salt is hurtful to fruit trees, but a small amount is often beneficial to trees growing on inland soils. It is spread broadcast about the trees in the spring. Slightly damp moss should be kepi among them. Tie each kind carefully in a bunch by itself and label. A lit tle shriveling will not hurt them, but too much will make them worthless. The cucumber should not be set in open ground until about the middle of May or until the weather settles, aa it is a very tender annual. Plant in June or July if you want them for pickles. Do not plant potatoes on hard, poorly plowed soil, for the crop will be poor, no matter how thorough the cultivation or how favorable other con ditions if the soil is not mellowed deep enough. Dadant has asserted that boes can not bite. They can catch hold of a liber and pull it out, but ho thinks tbey could no more bit, the surface of a grape than a man could bite a piece out of & plastered wall. ..Open the hives only when it is warm enough for the bees to fly, and then do not leave open any longer than neces sary. The brood may be chilled, and as there is no honey to be gathered, the bees mav take to robbinar. Devon and shorthorn beef cattle do not thrive so well on light sandy soil. They want heavy pasturage. They do well among hills where the grass ia rank. In river bottoms and in sugar cane fields in the South they aro profit able. Apiarists cannot be too particular about packing. It is stated that dis honesty here is as common as among horticulturists, and that fine white combs are frequently found next to the glass, and the dark in the centre of the crate. If about to go into small fruit rais ing conduct it in a clean and ac:urate manner, with good land, and success is sure. Raspberry aud currant bushes should be planted five feet apart each way to allow room for a horse and cultivator. A liberal application of salt to your asparagus bed this spring will aid in keeping the soil moist next summer, as well as killing out the weeds, but it will not take the place of manure or other kinds of fertilizers. Top dress the bed with manure, then add the salt to kill out the weeds. The dwarf cherry tree grows from four to live feet in height and begins to bear the second year. They are beautiful ornamental trees, especially for hedging. They blossom in May and the fruit ripens in August. Their leaves are of a deep green, and in shape axe narrow and willow-like. mm BY EXPLOSIONS. NEAELY A SCORE KILLED IN THEEE ACCIDENTS. Twelve Men Dead and Six Injured at Petersburg, Va. Three Men Killed by Powder at Brlnton, Penn. Three Perish at Iiancaster, Ind., by a Boiler Explosion. About 3 o'clock a few afternoons ago an alarm of Are was turned In from Blandford, a suburb of Petersburg, Va., and this was soon followed by a loud explosions. In fif teen minutes there was a socond explosion. The explosion was caused by fire in the fire works factory of C. N. Romalne A Brother. Twelve men wore killed and six Injured by the explosions. The flames spread very rapidly and were quickly communicated to the other buildings used for the manufacture of fireworks, and thereafter there were frequent explosions. The dead were Chas. N. Romalne, John B. Bland, Captain James W. Tosh, Jas. W. Per kins, James Bowland, who was a spectator after the first explosion ; Robert Rowland, his brother ; J. F. Harris, Edward Traylor. W. Parker, Qulney Livesay, James Bryant and Thomas Wood folk (colored). The injured were : Chief Engineer E. V. Farley, fatal , Charles Wells, injured internally; P. W. Redffray, probably fatally injured ; Walter Nunally, hand broken and flesh wound on left breast ; E. Stith Beasley, struck on thish by a flyin piece of tin and slightly Injured ; William Parker, an employe at the fireworks factory, struck in tho face by a piece of fly ing timber. William Traylor and Quincy Livesay, who were employes of tho fireworks factory, were also supposed to havo been killed. The remains of Captain Tosh were identi fied by his knife, sleeve buttons, eyeglasses and watch. Captain Tosh was a candidate for Commissioner of Revenue, in opposition to the present incumbent, James B. Blanks, and some of bis election tickets were found in his pockets. He was a mem ber of A. P. Hill Camp of Confederate Veterans. For some years he was engajred in the railroad business, both in Richmond and Petersburg. Up to a few months ago he was the auctioneer at the Tobacco Exchange. He had also carried on a dairy business. He was one ot Petersburg's most prominent and highly esteemed citizens. John B. Bland and C. N. Romaine were both prominent members of the City Coun cil. Mr. Bland had been in the Council only a short time, having only been elected a few weeks a ago. They were both married, and leave widows with children. Mr. Romaine for many years had carried on the flrework-3 business here, nnd was also engaged with his brother and John O. Barham ia the man ufacture of trunks Mr. Bland was a member of the drm of Bland Brothers & Wright, large manufac turers of tobacco. Mr. Perkins, who was among the killed, was a bricklayer. He had been engaged in the business for forty years. He was about sixty years old, and the father of Mr. W. A. Peridns. a well-known young merchant of Petersburg. Thomas Woodfolk, the colored man who was killed, was fireman for Romaine fc Brother. Chief Engineer Farley is a brave fireman and popular with all who know him. As soon as possible after he had been injured he was taken in a wagon to the Homo for the Sick. A temporary morgue was established in a house near th3 scene of the explosion. Mayor Collier issued the following proclama tion "In view of tho appalling calamity occa sioned by the fire of this afternoon in Bland ford, whereby many families have been sud denly plunged into tho deepest distress by reason of the many lives sacrificed on that occasion. I invito a meeting of the citizen? to be held at the Court Houso In the Coun cil Chamber at 3 o'clock, to take such ap propriate measures of sympathy and relief as the extraordinary occasion may require. f Cha.rx.es F. Collier, Mayor." Killed la a Powder Explosion. Three men were killod and three others seriously injured by a premature explosion of giant powder and dynamite near the new works of the Wcstinghouse Electric Company, in course of construction at Brinton Station, on the Pennsylvania road near Braddock, Penn. Tho men were all Austrians. They were excavating for the foundation of a new electric plant. A heavy charge of giant powder was placed in the earth. In some way the dynamite cap went off suddenly. The men wero called back to drill for the powder, and in doing so their steel drills ignited the explosive. Twenty tons of earth fell on the laborers. When the men were ex tricated, half an hour later, throe were dead and three were in a critical condition. T!ie killod are: Ni'clc Sichnowlcli, lived at Port Perry, leaves widow nnd two chil dren ; Mike Spahn, lived at Walls, unmar ried ; Fred Ganter, lived at Walls, un married. Tho injured aro Owen Dugan, fireman, skull fractured, badly bruised, several ribs broken, will probably die; David Livingstone, aged sixty, lived at Port Perry, limbs broken aud badly bruised ; Mike Bossor, legs cut and hands badly burnod. Others wore injured slightly, but are known only by numbers, their names not ap pearing on the company's pay rolls. Three Killed In a Boiler Explosion. Tho boiler in the mill belonging to Chris tian We!er at Lancaster, ten miles from Spencer, Ind., exploded while tho employes were at work. Weber, his son, Lewis, and Clifton Tinehart, a laborer, were instantly killed by the explosion. Two other laborers, whose names were not known, were mor tally injured. THE INDIAN OUTBBEAK. Very Serious Trouble With the Cheyennes in Oklahoma. A dispatch from El Reno, Oklahoma, say : The military authorities at Fort Reno have received further information of the Indian outbreak in C. County, Oklahoma. William Delesdenier, a trader at Sner, a point thirty five miles from tho origin of the trouble, came in to purchase ammunition to take out to the sottlers. He says that the Indians purchased 3000 rounds ot ammunition and took it to the band. Tho settlers began col lecting at Sener, and at that time they had a company of about 175 men under arms, and several bands of settlers had gone to tho scene of tho trouble. The Indians engaged are followers of Red Moon. Tne fljrhting is on tho Washita River, about 115 miles west of El Reno. Delesdenier and a party of settlors went to the scene of tho fighting, and found that fif teen of the Indians and about as many of the whites had been killed. It was impossible to get the names of those killed. The Indians are all armed with repeating riflas. and have plenty of ammunition. Indians from other parts of the reservation have hastened to join Red Moon in his contest, and he at this time had about 150 men in his fighting band. A skirmish occurred between a band of In dians and some white men about thirty miles from Cantonment, the Indians being on the move to join Rod Moon. Tne bodies of two white men wero brought into Cantonment. They were killod in the en counter, but the number of Inians killed or wounded was not known. This information was brought in by Clarence Trent, a horse man, who had just arrived from that point, having ridden ninety-five miles to bring the information. The scene of tho Indian trouble is nearly 100 miles irom a railroad or telegraph sta tion, and full details aro hard to obtain. SEAL FISHERS WARNED.

The Blaring Roof of the Davidson, at Milwaukee, Wis., Drops In, Carrying; With It Those Who Were Fighting the Fire Noble Deeds of Heroism. The Davidson Theatre and Hotel, the finest playhouse in Milwaukee, Wis., and one of the handsomest and costliest theatres in tho country, was destroyed by fire early a few mornings ago, and eight firemen lost their lives by the failing in ot the roof. The scenery carried by the Lillputlans, who were playing a ten days' engagement at the theatre, is all gone. Manager Rosenfold. of the company, says it was worth $25,000. The roof was a sheet of flame before the firemen arrived, but ladders wero run up, and the men rushed on the rof. six stories from the ground. In doing so, OUie Kies, one of the men, slipped and fell to the ground, being killed by the fall. All the men from No. 4 Engine wero di rected to the rear of tho roof, right over the stage, where the fire was the worst. Some men from other companies were with them when, without warning, the roof gave way, precipitating eight of the men eighty foet into the fire on the stage. All of them wens either killed by the fall or burnod to death or suffocated. The dead are : Archibald Campbell, Cap tain of the flreboet James Foley; James C. Freeman, Lieutenant 4 Company ; John Car rol), 2 Chemical ; August Janssen, Third As sistant Chief of Department and brother of Chief John T. Janssen of the Police Depart ment ; Frederick Kroeschmuer, 8 Chemical , Frank MeGurk, Lieutenant of 4 Truck and Acting Captain of 14 Co npany ; Thomas Morgan, Company No. 1 ; OUie Ries, 3 Com pany ; Frank Winne. 4 Chemical. Tuo four other firemen went down with tho roof, but wero rescued and taken to tho Emergency Hospital. Fireman James Crowley was rescuod soon after noon after having been pinioned down under a massot timber for several hours and after having faced death in three forms fire, drowning and suffocation. An engine was kept pumping away tho water that steadily roso and threatened to drown him, and air was forced through a hose to keep him from being choked to death by the thick smoke that filled tho building. The large building was usod for a theatre on the ground floor and the rear. The p irt above the ground floor was the Hotel Da vidson. The hotel was well filled with guests, but they were all warned in t Jin's and escaped without injury. The fire originated apparently on tho Btage und.-r the roof. The stage was a very large one, and the lire had made great pro gress in the oily scenery and was a perfect furnace when discovered. The Llliputians. with an Immense amount of scenery, were filling a two weeks' engage ment in "A Trip to Mars" in the houso. The stationary scenery, which was large, and that of the Llliputians gave the flames ad vantage, and the thing went like tinder. When the roof fell in the members of tho insurance fire patrol wore covering up tho seats of the parquet. They ran back just in time to escape the falling roof, as portions of it dropped into the parquot. Immediately after the roof fell tho flromen went at the work of rescue. Streams of water wero thrown into tho blazing heap of debris from the walls, and tho men of the Insur ance patrol ran into tho pit nnd began to drag away the timbers that pinned down tho men who had fallen with the roof. Tho work progressed slowly and an hour passed before the first body was recovered. As soon as the injurod wero taken out ambu lances convtsyed them to tho hospital. On either side of the blackened walls of the the atre are the words : "Absolutely fireproof." Michael Dunn, Captain of the fire tug Cataract, was on tho roof when it fell, but did not go down with it. Other firemen rigged a rope, making it fast to a part of tho hotel building, and dropped it over into the awful holo through which their comrades had fallen. Seizing the rope, Dunn slipped into the furnace. Soon there wa3 a cry from below to pull the rope up. Dunn had found Pipe man Yeo helpless, tie i tho rope around him, and ordered it raised. The total money loss occasionod by tho firo is about $225,000,'as follows Theatre proper and stationary scenery about $ 175, 000; Rosenfeld Brothers, proprietors of the Lill putlans, who were playing at tho theatre, $45,000 ; Joseph Clauder, orchestra leader, $3000.

' Highest of all in Leavening LX Threatened bj a Klrer. "Our city is just now in preat dan ger ot" losing the Missouri River," eai.l Georgo lion ler sou, of Atchison, Kan., at the St. James. "And not only that, but tho iron bridge over the river and tho railroads reaching Atchison from tho East aro pretty snro to be cut off, too. For several years the river has been cutting away the bauk above the railroads on the Missouri side to such an extent that two or three thousand acres of laud I have boon carried away, as well as a j good deal of the site of Eajt Atchison. The Government spent $75, 000 in pro- 1 tecting the bank, but tho work was improperly done, and last June a freshet came along and swept all the improvements out. Since then tho river has resumed its warfare, and several valuable farms have been washed away. This year tiuce the river began to riso tho bank has been caving in at an alarming rate. Origi nally tho shore lino was over a mile from the railroad tracks; now it is less than a hundred yards, and tho rail road men aro ready to tear up tho tracks at tho shortest possible notice. If the river cuts through, as it is feared it will, it will throw tho Mis souri River fully a miltj from the east bank of its present bed, leave the big iron bridge spanning a lake and cut oil all rail communication with the East. Then, also, every houso of every sort, including a valuable pork packing plant in East Atchison, will bo swept away. Should the worst happen, .1, 500,000 would not cover the loss. Only Providence can prevent tho river cutting through, as the river is too high now to admit of work being done, even if there was plenty of money at hand to do it.

He writes: "Dr. Pierce's Golden" Medical Dis covery saved my lifo and has made mo a man. My homo physician says I am good for forty years yet. You will remeiul-r that I was just between lifo and death, and all of my friends were suro it was a case of death, until I commenced taking a second lottle or 4 Golden Medical Disooverv,' when I became ablo to sit up and the cough, wns very much better, and tha bleeding from my lungs (topped, and before I had taken six t)ttlos of tho 4 Golden Medical Discovery ' my cough ceased aud I was a new man and ready for business. I now feel that It Is a duty that I owe to my fellcw-men to recommend to them tho ' Golden Medical Discovery ' which saved my life when doctors and ail other medicines failed to do me any good. I send to you with thia letter two of iry photographs; one taken a few weeks before "I was taken down sick in bed, and the other was taken after I was well." These two pho tographs are faithfully re-produced at the hoad of this article. Mr. Harris's experience in the uso of " Gold en Medical Discovery" ia not an exceptional one. Thousands of eminent people in all partn of the world testify, in just as emphatic language, to Its marvelous curativo powers over all chronic bronchial, throat and lung diseases, chronic nasal catarrh, asthma, and kindred diseases. Eminent physicians prescribe " Golden Medical Discovery" when any of their dear ones' lives are imperilled by that dread dis ease, Consumption. Under such circum stances only the mopt reliable remedy would be depended upon. The following letter is to the point. It is from an eminent physician of Stamps, Lafayette Co., Ark. He says : "Consumption is hereditary in my wire's family : some have already died with the dis ease. My wife has a sister, Mrs. E. A. Cleary, that was taken with consumption. 8he used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery, and, to tho surprise of her many friends, sha got well.
