imbroglio of a rather fierce description has
been started in Wisconsin by the refusal of the
Milwaukee and St. Paul Itailroad Company to
accept the' St. .Croix land-grant on the terms of

a tKletnm fram WestviUe. N. 8., dated May
14 gives the f ollowing additional details of tho
'disaster : From-10 o'clock last night until day
light this morning, the fire at the Drummond
colliery raged with intense fury, gathering
volume and violence each' moment, aim oj
In the vicinity of tho calamity was iUominated
with flames issuing from the air snail, w wo
l.eirfit of nearly 100 feet. All through the
night there were explosions ai intervals, iuojr
were preceded by a rumbling noise, resembling
thunder. The weary watchers who remained
- - , t i fn.
around the pit's mouth and the air snait, ana
labored to subdue the flames, were obliged to
mm Khelter in the adjoining wood, as stones,
debris, etc., thrown from the pit's mouth at
each explosion were being scattered arounu u
all directions, and threatened wsiani nesiruc
tinn orlnlnrv to every one within reach.
About ,2 oclnck this anemoon mese
nlninnR were f ollowed by one wmcn ior lemuc
violence and destructive force dwarfed all tho
jest. AU the wooden worKa in anaaoouimo
main alone were instantly destroyed; stones,
?wood" and burning embers were, driven high
into-the air; the smoke, name ana nnrauio
noises accompanying the explosion giving me
i.i,nM.r vivid, idea of a volcanic .eruption.
Tho earth for, miles around was shaken with
the violence Of the explosion..
The scenes in and around tho villages aro
uuiileninir. WestvUle and the village at mo
Drummoud colliery aro in mourning; ;tho
ihons are closed, and mon and women wander
about in groups, their saddened countenances
llnkenhnr the creat grief that has befallen
them. No pen can correctly picture tne nar-
rowinc scenes when, the torrtbie tnnn. was
convoyed to tho mourning wives, sisters, ana
friends of thoso who wcro. so suddenly hnrlod
into ctcrnitr.
Tho utmost excitement prevailed, and for
hours it was impossible to ascertain who were
and who were not in the mine. Women, many
of whom had husbands, brothers, and sons
working in the colliery, made tho air dismal
with their crying.
One of the rescuing party killed by the ox
plosion on yesterday was driven into the air a
distance of 100 feet; and fell into tho wood near
by, whore his dead body was picked up.
The list of killed, a far as known, compris
os 26 men loaving a wifo and' family, and 22
single men. Tho total number killed will prob
ably reach 75. .The wounded number six, of
whom two aro fatally injured Tho men who

from a flro in Robert McLecd'e ward." Thoy
say considerable caro was exhibited in tho

FARM. AND HOME.,
tmx. the Fi
er.
1. Only Rood farming pays.
Ho who
who. sows ot plants without .reasonable
assurance of good crops annually had
better earn wages of some capable neigh
bor than work for so poor a paymaster
as he is certain to prove himself.
2. The good farmer is proved by tho
steady appreciation of his crops. Any
one may reap an ample harvest from a
fertile vinrin soil': the good farmer alone
grows good 'crops' at first, and better and
better ever afterward.
3. It is far easier to maintain tho pro.
duetive capacity of a farm than td'rC'
store, it. To exhaust its fecundity, and:
then attempt its ; restoration by buying
costly commercial fertilizers, is wasteful
and irrational.
4. The good farmer sells mainly Buch
products as . aro least, exhaustive. Ne
ccssity may constrain him for tho first
year or two tqisell grain,' proven' hay ;
but he- will soon, send off his surplus
mainly in the form' of cotton, 'or wool,- or
meat, or butter and cheese, or something
else that returns to 'the soil1 nearly' all
that is taken from it,- A .bank account
daily drawn.'upon, while, nothing isde
posited to its credit must soon respond,.
" No'f nnds." So with a farm similarly
treated.
5. Rotation is at least negative fertili
zation. It may not positively enrich a
farm ; it will nt least; retard and post-.
pono its impoverishment; Ho who grows
wheat after wheat, corn after, corn, for
twenty years', will need to emigrate be
fore tho term is fulfilled. The samo
farm cannot support (nor endure) him
longer than that. All our great wheat
growing sections of fifty years ago aro
wheat-growing no longer, while England
grows large crops thereof' on the very
fields that fed tho armies of Saxon Har
old and William the Conqueror. 'Iso
lation preserved these, as tho, lack of it
ruined those. Roston Journal of Chan
tutry.
When to Hell Grain
A correspondent of the Evening 117
contin writes : I would say to you, the
one great mistake of tho farming com
munity is this : the practice .of contract
ing debts to bo paid in tho fall of the
year instead of having them come due in
June or July, in order to have the bene
fit of the fall and spring markets.
find a great many of the farmers sell
their last bnshcl of groin at; one-half
or two-thirds its. value in order to pay
their liabilities, and so lose the profits,
thereby damaging themselves and the
surronnding community by draining tho
country ef every dollar, fcaving nothing
to mako improvements with. I have
noticed that the middle-men aro fully
aware of your obligations, or, if not, tho
first thing yon do. is to inform them, by
saying, "I must raise some money to
pay debts ; what can yon givo mo
bushel for my grain?" Tlint gives them
to understand that yon are obliged to
sell, no matter what yon get, and they
take the advantage of you.
Baivlajr. Plastrr.
A correspondent of tho Wenlcrn Far
mer writes : The bes't method of sowing
plaster is undoubtedly n machine made
for that particular business, as it is
heavy to carry and rathcrdirty to handle
In tho absence of that, ono I have prac
ticed considerably is to put your plaster
in a wagon near the hind end ; then, with
n driver, a person can sow .his plaster
very evenly and comparatively with ease.
Another way is to" carry it in a basket
and so w by stakes similar to sowi ng broad
cast As to tho proper time to sow on
wheat, T wonld state that if you seed
with clover, immediately after seeding is
the best time ; if not seeded, I sow no
plaster, as I havo never received any
benefit by putting it on wheat. Tho
best time to sow plaster on clover is
alter it gets a good start; generally about
Moy 1, but never before tho gross
starts, as, I havo noticed some farmers
doing this spring.
How to lascrt Hcrwws In Plaster Walls.
It often becomes desirable to insert
screws in plaster walls, without uttncii-
ing them to any woodwork; but when
we turn them in tho. plaster gives way
and our effort is vain. And yet a bctcw
may bo inserted in plaster so as to hold
light pictures, etc., very firmly. Tho
best plan is to enlarge tho holo to about
twice tho the diameter of tho screw, fill
it with plaster of paris, such as is used
for fastening tho tops of lamps, etc., and
bed tho screw m tho soft planter. When
tho plaster has set tho screw will bo held
very, strongly.
A Dry Cellar.
A correspondent of tho American
Ayriculturirt tells how to make a dry
cellar out of n wet one. He says: "Dig
ont tlio bottom of tho collar, commonc
ing nt the sides two inches below the
walls, increasing tho depth to tho center,
so it shalOiavo the form, of an inverted
arch ; then tho earth should bo pounded
firmlyand well cemented, allowing tho
cement to go under" an inch or so, and
np tho sidcs'for two feet: Thon tho bot
tom should bo filled up level with sand
and paved. II this is all properly done
tho cellar will bo dry permanently,
.Cut-Worm and Corn.
A correspondent of tho Country
Gentleman gives this treatment of corn
as a suro way to keep it from the attacks
of cut-worms ; So:ik the corn in waU
till it Bwells as largo as the kernels will
ordinarily expand, then add a pound and
a half of copperas dissolved in warm
water, and allow it to soak ono day, stir.
ring it several times. Afterwards
sprinkle enough land plaster over it to
prevent tlio grains from sticking to
gethcr.
Scratches.
A very' simple cure is to wash the
parts affected with warm soft water and
castile soap. When dry, apply with a
paint brush, or your hand, linseed oil
and white lead, about the consistency of
paint.
a ... i wrtn"tI rll J D it'
A French engineer and inventor,
named TommasL has recently perfected
an invention for transmitting messages
underwater which is attracting consider
able attention and comment. It consists
of a simple tube of copper, containing
what may be termed a thread or rpd. of
water, which is said, to transmit, effectu
ally and instantaneously every impulse
communicated to it by pistons ; and not
on! v that, but the impulse can travel
both ways al once without extinguishing
each other. The inventor claims that
with 'this apparatus he can send 600 sig
nals per minute through a distance of
2,400 miles ; that' it permits simultane-'
ous exchange 01 corresponaence inrougn
the same tube; that it can be adapted
