28 GIRLS ARE DEAD
IN NEWARK HOLOCUST
NEWARK, N. J.. Nov. 26.-Tn a dis
astrous factory* fire here, today. 28 lives
are known to have been lost and 40 or
more persons were injured, some prob
ably fatally.
Nearly all the victims were young wo
men workers in the manufacturing
plants in the building, a four-story
structure which took fire from an ex
plosion on the third floor.
Loss of life and injury was heaviest
among the 50 girls on the top floor,
who were trapped by the quick-spreading
flames. Some of them jumped to safety
in fire nets and others to their death or
fatal injury on the pavements below.
The building in which the catastrophe
occurred is a four-story brick structure.
The first and second floors were occu
pied by the Newark Paper Box com
pany. The third floor was occupied by
! the Anchor Lamp company, makers of
lamps. The fourth floor was used as a
factory by Louis Wolf, a manufacturer
of under garments.
I About 800 persons were employed in the
building. It is believed the fire started
'on the second floor in the rear, among
a lot of rubbish. Within a moment or
two after it was noticed It had made
its way into a lot of waste paper, from
which it connected with the upper floors.
I An immense crowd congregated, and it
took the police reserves from five pre
cincts to handle the situation.
| At least 15 girls had jumped from
the fourth floor of the burning structure,
according to one spectator. They stayed
at the windows until frenzied by the
flames behind them and. nearly suffocat-
FISHING FOR HIS MONEY
IN POND OF MUDDY WATER
"Dat man oughter knowed when he
dropped his money in dat hole, he lose,
commented a younk darky, as he watched
man fish for nearly an hour,
Saturday afternoon, for a half-dollar he
had dropped In a manhole at the corner
of Carnegie way and Spring street.
The manhole was eight feet deep from
the curb, and at the bottom was three
feet of muddy, stale water. But this
didn't deter the Rev. Joseph Wright,
minister of Antioch church.
He had made a business for years of
saving sinners from the depths, and he
would not let a good 50-cent piece stay
down in the mire, if he could help it.
He got a bucket and tied a rope to it.
Then he set It down, and proceeded to
bail his money out. As each load of
slush was brought up, he would pour It
carefully on the pavement, and search
the refuse. He continued this operation
for nearly an hour.
Ln the meanwhile a crowd collected.
When he got to rock bottom, as they
say. and still no trace of his money, he
offered any kid in the crowd a nickel
to go down and search the refuse. But
they all balked.
He dropped a big paving stone in the
hole to stand on, and let himself down.

crops of cabbage and other green

I sowed one field to sweet clover
and the roots went away down
pulverising the soil and makirig It
easy to work. I cut it sfx times
and used most of it for bedding
for my horse and manure in my
garden.
I raised tremendous crops of
Kaffir corn by keeping my culti

cellent start in alfalfa. I applied
lime and soil from an old alfalfa
field and the second year cut it
up with a rotary plow. Now I
have a fine stand. I turn my
poultry into it and they thrive on
it.
I find bee clover a great crop.
It kills all the weeds and the rout*
work their way through the soil,
making it easy to plow.
I was fortunate to get a great
deal of stable manure for the
hauling and although it brougnt
a great many weeds, 1 Kept nt
them with the hoe and mower un

soil is now tn fine condition.
I found raising Hungarian part

NOTES or TZE SZEEFTOXiD
The ability of ewes to nourish
their lambs in an important mat
ter to consider in selecting ewes
to keep over for another year.
Sheep that are in any way wealc
should be sold to the first buyer.
There is always trouble enough
without inviting more through
careless selection. Select none but
the best and strongest ewes for
breeding purposes and build up a
uniform and profitable flock. It
cannot be done In any other way.
Improper feeding during preg
nancy and the milking period up
sets some of the best ewes and
when we know we are at fault we
should not be too hasty to con
demn such ewes but try them
again.
Cottonseed meal has not yet been
extensively tested as a feed for
aheep but such teats as have been
made show that it has held its
own with other forms of concen
trated feed and many good feed
ers prefer it to linseed m*al when
fed in one-fourth to one-half
pound at -a time to fattening
sheep.
In some localities cottonseed
meal can be made to take the
place of considerable corn that is
now being fed to sheep. It is not
advisable to feed it In large quan
tities to younjg animals or to
breeding stock.
Mares that are foaled in the
spring should have the very best ,
of care during the winter.

ed by the smoke, they leaped to the
street.
With the exception of two girls who
< were slightly burned all the employes on
the first and second floors of the bulld
' ing escaped either by means of the exits
or the one fire escape on the one end of
the 'building.
I Twenty-four of the Injured were taken
'to the St. Michael's hospital. Os these
two died after reaching the hospital.
LIFE NETS USED.
Life nets were put into use Immediately
after the arrival of the firemen. Per
haps 30 lives were saved with H.

j Eugene McHugh, a foreman, in the em
ploy of the Aetna company, proved him
self a hero. He was among the first to
see the seriousness of the situation and
! guided scores of girls in his employe
'to safety down a fire escape. Nearly
| alt escaped Injury.
Less than 20 minutes after the arrival
of the firemen the interior of the build-
I ing was flame-swept. The floors of the
• upper part of the building fell shortly
'afterwards. It is believed a search of
the ruins will discover other bodies.
Among those who were early at the scene
was Rev. Father E. F. Quirk, assistant
. rector of St. Joseph’s church. He gave
; last rites of the church to seven of the
‘ victims. The priest worked nobly, help
ing the firemen to reach parts of the
building where others of the injured
might be.
Father Quirk said he counted 23 pros
trate forms on the sidewalk. All were
young women who had leaped from the
upper windows of the factory.
It was an awful hole for a preacher to
be in.
“He sho’ will have to take er bath
when he comes out of that scent,” was
the remark from a young Onlooker.
But, notwithstanding these jibes, he
kept throwing out handfuls of rotted
leaves until his patience was at last
rewarded, for under the last leaf was
the sought-for prize.

DAXRYING LN PERSIA.
A missionary who has spent several
years in Persia gives a most interesting
account of how butter is made In that
country. The churn consists of the skin
of a goat or sheep sewed up in the form
of a bag.
Into this bag the sour cream is poured
and it is then agitated by the bag being

swung on a rude frame hung on sticks,

this is the origin of the American swing

have any improvements been made.

FEEDING FOR HEALTH AND FITALIT
By W. M. Kelley.
I believe it is time that we dairy
men took a more rational view of our
business and feed our cows in a man
ner that would promote theln health
and vitality instead of forcing them to
their very limits, as is the practice In
many sections where dairying is the
exclusive branch of agriculture. We
are feeding too narrow rations for the
good of our cows.
Cows that are raised and developed
on clover hay, ensilage, wheat, bran and
oats, with good luxuriant pasture grass
during the summer will make better
cows than those that are overfed on a
ration ill adapted to their needs. I will
stake my reputation on thia fact. We
may not make as much milk, but we will
have better producing cows and calves,
and what milk we do make will be
made cheaper and our herd will grad
ually be getting better.
‘ I do not care whether a ration is to
4 or 1 to 7 as long as It does the busi
ness and is beneficial to the health of the
cattle. Then, again, the average dairy
man does not employ methods best cal
culated to give the best results in breed
ing. Some dairymen will raise every
heifer calf born on his farm, while an
other dairyman will not raise any. I wish
we could induce dairymen to moke some
exchange of calves whereby only the best
calves from .high-producing cows would
be raised.
In this way dairymen who had the
facilities for raising and developing the
heifers could go out and get the very
best calves for a good price instead of
growing the weedy, inferior calves that
were born on his farm.
This would do more than any one
thing to improve the quality of our dairy
herds, and growers could realise greatly
increased profits ppon the cows that
TBT TWO CBOPS NEXT TEAS.
I always grow two crops on my garden
every year. There are a few vegetables
which require the whole season, such as
onions, beets, tomatoes, parsnips, cab
bages and late beans, but where early po
tatoes, early sweet corn and snap beans
are grown a second crop may be pro
duced the same year.
Even tomatoes may be a second crop
if the plants are set in the rows where
lettuce has grown. Lettuce should be
thinned out as it is used until the plants
are at least a foot apart. If tomatoes
are set in the rows three feet apart the
plants w’ill not Interfere with the lettuce
enough to do any material damage.
Early potatoes may be followed by late
cabbages, snap beans will be out of the
way for late cabbages also. Cucumbers,
squashes or other vine-producing vege
tables may be planted among the sweet
com, the stalks of which are cut as the
corn is used.
Swfft corn makes a good supplemen
tary crop where strawberries are set in
a garden. The corn shades the berries
and later the stalks are cut and laid
down so as to make a mulch for the ber
ries during the winter.
By planting everything in long rows
across the entire length of the garden,
planting all the things that require a
whole season in which to mature on one
side, all the second crop vegetables will
be in a compact plat on the other side
of the garden plat.—Miller Purvis.
Agricultural Graphics
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—Difficulty of
students in digesting the real value of
comparative statistics on agricultural
production of this country and other parts
of the world has led to the publication ba
ilie bureau of statistics of a pamphlet Pn
which graphics represent various statis- j
tics on the crops and live stock of the
United States and foreign countries.
SHANE SYSTEMS IN TOBACCO
PRODUCTION
■She most favored method of let- |
Ung tobacco land i» for the land- ,
lord to furnish the land, the to- .
bacco sheds, the fertilizer, and
ihe necessary horses, tools, and
machinery for producing the crop,
while the tenant performs all of
rhe labor required from the plant
ing of the seed to the delivery of
the crop upon the market. The
expenses for twine, wrapping pa
per, etc., are shared equally.
A large number of the tobacco
share tenants are men of little
means. Some of these have the
reputation of being in debt for a
year's living by the time their
crop is ready to market. The I
tendency on the part of these ten- ;
ants to mortgage their crops and t
then to abandon tne same in case J
the crop does not promise to turn I
out well has led in Wisconsin to;
making the contract in the form
of “An Agreement to Work Land.”
In accordance with this agree
ment, the land .-emains in the pos
session cf the landlord and the
crop is the property of the land
lord until all of the labor requi
site to ’ts product!.)! and market
ing has been performed, at which*
time the landlord gives the tenant
one half of the proceeds as pay
ment for his labor. Where this
agreement Is used It is often nec
essary for the landlord to mgke
advances of living expenses to
their tenants-
SAVING THE COBN STALKS
Besides pointing out to farmers .
the importance of saving their
straw, authorities on agriculture
are also urging the importance of
saving all corn-stalks, to accom
pany the straw as a winter rough
age; thus making a saving in hay,
the scarcity of which necessitates '
the greatest economy in Its use.
It is believed that the 1910 hay
crop, all over the west, Is much
behind the usual ten-year aver
age; and that next winter will de
velop prices at which farmers will
think they can better afford to sell 1
their hay, and feed the cheaper
roughage, than to feed hay to
stock. On this point, however, it
will be well for the farmer to be
very sure that he has a sufficiency
cf fodder, before parting with his
hay to the detriment or his stock.
With the use of corn binders, the
saving of fodder is not a difficult
matter. If the farmer has not I
enough stock to consume his en
tire acreage of fodder, he will
find other farmers who are with
out enough, and who have stock
which it will be profitable to buy,
to use what surplus fodder is
stored from the corn fields. Save .
the corn fodder!

Trying to force bulbs too
strongly results in short stems.

Give callas and other flowering

they raised. In with this
■ calf exchange there would need to be a
• system of selection, for the laws of
• heredity control the dairy function as
i fully as they do the other characteris-
> tics.
i The matter of providing comfortable
> and sanitary stables for dairy cattle is a
> ’ matter that is rapidly approaching a
i ( science. Years ago’ cow stables were
f perfectly ventilated by half-inch cracks
I j between the boards, but these stables
I proved too cold for winter milk produc
i tlon, and farmers were advised to build
• their stables tight, inclosing them wtih
. matched lumber, and not to allow the“r
cows to go outside during cold weather.
> Some even went to the extreme of
I warming thie cows’ drinking water for
• them in the stable.
> The result of these cloue, warm sta
i bles was vitiated air, lack of exercise,
debility and tuberculosis. Next, dairy-
II men were advised to allow a certain
. i number of cubic feet of air space for
i j each animal when building their sta-
• J bles, and many of these stables proved
j too cold for winter milk production
; and too damp for the health of the cat
tle. Now the stable question seems nar-
! rowed down to a practical system of ven
‘ tilation and many of the most practical
j dairyman are putting in such a system.
Suitable feed, pure water, good ven-
1 tilation and proper exercise are all nec
essary. The great question for practi
cal dairymen is to draw a line between
i the essentials and the non-essentials.
Water in front of each cow is a nice
i thing, but if the cows are not turned
j out for exercise each day, it is a ques
j tlon whether it is a good thing or not
I would much prefer not to have water
in front of my cows, if it was to be
used as an excuse for not turning them
out to exercise in the yard.
NATURE'S BEST FEBTTLIZEB.
By W. O. Palmer.
The investigators since the growing of
crops began hqve searched for fertilizers
—for things that would make plants
grow. Yet they have found nothing that,
equals common manure. This is nature’s
fertilizer. Plants respond to it tn the
tropics and as far north as they grow.
By using it intelligently the fertile soils
of North Dakota or of Florida or Texas
can be made to bring forth crops that;
will yield almost, yes twice, what could 1
be secured without it.
Much is now known about how to;
handle this valuable product. It should .
be taken right from the barn to the I
field. In some cases when it contains J
a good deal of weed seed it may be;
advisable to let it lay in a heap for a
while. It has been found that the best
place to apply it is on pasture, grass i
land and on corn land. When applied!
to a grain crop it sometimes causes too i
big a growth of straw. This comes from
the fact that the element manure that
causes straw growth is available at j
once while the elements that fill the ken- j
nel and add stiffness to the straw are 1
made available slowly, so that the ma- ,
nure does not furnish grain crops a bal- I
anced food. It can be applied, though, j
if it is put on thin enough.
Corn makes its growth during the I
warm part of the summer when all the'
elements of food in the manure are |
made available. In the case of the!
clover or grasses it is the stalks that
are wanted so this kind of growth is an !
advantage if anything. When applied on ■
corn and grass land the weed seed ,
has little chance to do any harm. Then <
when the grain crop follows the corn i
or grass or clover that has been ma-1
nured it gets a balanced food, and well i
filled heads is the result.
. It has also been found that it is best I
not to apply over ten tons per acre, I
and the even scattering of it is very |
important.
