An adjoining ware house used by the Barber Buggy & Wagon Company, soon took " fire and was destroyed. The flames made a jump to a warehouse used by George Martin for tne-, storage of cement, etc., andrseverai build ings adjacent also became victims. The fire worked over to the ware house of the Frick Company and was stopped here, HacU-it not tbeen for a lull in the wind aritl t his tin warehouse, a large portion of be town .on the other side of the railroad would probably now be in ashes. . The firemen did fine work and they deserve much credit- for the way they handled the fire. Their untiring efforts did wonders tow ard preventing a much greater conflagration. The loss resulting from the fire :nay reach the neighborhood of $20,000, but tl is is probably rath;, or a large estimate. Amongtjire losprs may be mentionedheJEfar ber Buggy and WagoMCopany.

The A JMawuw That I tbe -Bane ef fhm Sf Poultrj7nin' LifeThe Cure. i Bumblefootia noticed mostly In fowls that are : fat, and In Loavy varieties ' Is attributed by some to jumping' from high roosting: places, but a . writer in Western Poultry JournaJ i haa. known Very bad cases to breakv out in flocks which were accustomed to roosting on flat surfaces, and where all conditions were " seemingly pert ecti";althongh un doubtedly the "trouble arises from bruises, of the f eeteither by stones in scratching or . fronT jumpingft - Cases hayeTbeen known where' the corn form ed on Ihe underside of the foot cover ing a surface measuring three-quarters of an inch and when forcibly removed pulled with it a hard white pus of the same length. Treatment; if ; taken in time, is simple and effective, and con sists in keeping the bottom of-the foot soft either by placing the fowl on straw or . softening the swollen foot by the application of vaseline or some carbolic antiseptic. Proper treatment . consists in -first washing the; affected foot, re moving any foreign subSbmce; and if on examination the foot seems soft and likely to contain pus open by making an hxcision with . a sharp knife and syringe , the wound with the antiseptia, one part, and water, fifty parts, bind ing on it also an ointment consisting' of one part antiseptic and forty parts vas eline. An excellent remedy also con sists in binding on the diseased foot a small piece of salt pork, which will soften It in two or three days, when the corn may be removed and the pork again applied, to heal up the wound. Unless treated bumblefoot will pass -upward through the leg of the fowl af fected and lead to swelling, greai ness and gangrene or abscesses. troubleyields readily to the treatment and will, if treated in time, sayHie fowl. s To Qe Lots of Er. A. P. Ancier of Eartville, N.YM gives the following rules for producing heavy egg returns: In the morning feed' a mash composed of ground corn, oata, wheat, clover and green bone, Just what they will eat up clean, and later throw into the litter a little wheat or millet for which they will have to scratch. At noon give steamed clover with mid dlings, at night, cracked corn, .wheat and barley, all they will clean up at onceC Never feed more than they will eat immediately. Suspend a head of cabbage in the pen for them to pick at during the day. You will besur prised at the amount of green food they will eat during the-winter season. A most excellent green food for all kinds of fowls is Dwarf Essex rape. Sow the poultry yards to rape In winter and when the snow Is off give the fowls free access to It and your eggs will practically all be fertile.

Nothing we can add will throw jshe xf light on the season's fertUfty of eggs-nor-natcnmg topic, dui tor reaaet may hare faith enough tofead of a- few instances that we jr mention even after m make the above admis sion, says Aaeff&n Poultry Journal. Those who are among the poultrymen report low fertility. In some western yards the fertility has been high all season, but to balance this comes the report from down east that over half the shipments are failures. Every season has its good and. bad hatches and yet no statistician has had - the colossal nerve required to gather data on- the subject Lately we noted that a shipment -of eggs from Scotland hatched better than 40 per cent. This is remarkable, though the eggs were extra well packed. For Quality Ears. The day of the market poultryman is dawning, for now the big egg buyers demand eggs by the dozen instead of by the case. Buying by case means accepting good, bad and rotten; buy ing by the dozen means that eggs are candled and poor ones not paid for. This aids the pooltryman who desires to work up a high class demand for a strictly fancy product. The largest buyers of eggs now demand quality before quantity, and they pay good, liberal margins over the market price to get what they want Clean, fresh eggs are what they demand, and they soon cut from their lists the ones who for ward the inferior stuff along with the good. ' . Iioolc Out For the Mites Now. r, By cleaning the fowl house and painting the roost with some good liquid lice killer at least oncea week, being careful to reach all nooks, cran nies and corners or roosts and nest boxes, one may prevent mites. As in every other eviVthe thing to do is to prevent Let mites once get a foothold lu your house , and you have trouble without end getting, rid of them. "Sports" Axnonsr Pure Breds. The Silver Laced Wyandottes, like any other standard variety of fowls, are liable to throw "sports but no one can tell what the percentage would be to 100 chicks. In fact, there might not be one to 1,000, and there might be sev eral to a hundred. All varieties of poultry are more or less difBcult to breed to standard requirements.

Dry bran is most excellent for both young and old fowls and acts as a sort of stimulant to egg production. Give it a trial if you have not done so already. Know What Tour Hems Are Doing:.
