One bad a herd of 48 cows and bis milk check for the month of November was $G()0. Incidei.tly he said bis feed for the month was about $l;">0. This same man said he intended increas ing the herd by two and expect ed in a year to clear $5,000- This man, by the way has oneof the best kept farms along the scientific lines, although not a graduate from an agricultural school to our know ledge, gleaning bis information from periodicals and bis experience ol others. The other man said dairy ing didn't pay and was going to sell his herd. We didn't inquire how many cows he kept or their breed. You don't have to inquire either. Both of us know, because it isselt evident, and it is not necessary to point the moral.

The officials have expended I thousands of dollars in a vain at i tempt to to extinguish the fire, so ! that the mine can be worked. It is thought that the lire lirs eat j on its way upward until so near the ( ] -url'aiM as to cause the portion of the j | mountain for a distance of nearly I i live hundred yards to cave in. \S it i nesses *> <be sight say that a flrey | sheet of flame flashed up from the i ground. The settling of the mass of rock | and dirt was accompanied by such a I shock and roar, us to lead the resi ' dents for miles around to believe j that it was an earthquake. llun i dreds were attracted to the scene, i while other spectators came and j went. .Mr. Amnion 11.
