Farm Notes.
—Cheap as cotton may be Kgypt
sent us over 42,000 bales in 189293.
It differs in texture somewhat, howev-
er, from that grown in this country.
—Very small potatoes are not sala-
ble, but they are worth just as much
for stock food as the best, and do not
require being shipped to market to be
sold.
—Beet pulp, it 1s said, is used exten-
sively in California tor cows in milk
with the most satisfactory results.
The beef of cattle thus fed is said to be
as tender and juicy as the best Eastern
stall-fed.
— Pears are ready to be picked when
the stem parts readily from the spur
when raised by the hand. The fruit
should always be picked by thus rais-
ing it up, instead of pulling it off.
Aim to leave the stem on the pear.
—A practical dairyman suggest that
two or three doses of saltpetre one table-
spoonful for a dose, is a remedy for
ropy milk. Ropy milk, however, sel-
dom results unless the cow is milked
too soon after calving, and it disappears
later on.
—The Damson plum is one of the
oldest varieties known, and would be a
gure crop every year but for the cur-
cullo. Spraying has lessened the loss
of plums of recent years, and Damsons
are now grown where before they have
been failures.
—Water the horse before you feed
him ; the water rapidly leaves the
stomach and the gastric juices have
full play. Water with the food weak-
ens the digestive fluids. His stomach
is small, therefore do not let him get
100 thirsty and drink too much.
—Boil three pounds each of sulphur
add freshly-slaked lime in six gallons
of water, until there is but two gallons
of it. Pour off the clear water and
bottle for use. A gill of this in five
gallons of water makes a solution,
which sprinkled upon plants, will pre-
vent mildew.
—A high site should always be se-
lected for pear culture. Better drain-
age is thereby procured and the trees
ripen their wood earlier in the fall,
and are, therefore, hardier than on low
soils, and the trees are longer lived.
Fungus growths trouble them less 10
these conditions.
In Germany, where they quitted
ways of wastefulness long ago, in a silo
was found a little of everything—tur-
nip tops, carrot tops, green corn, green
mustard, grass and autumn sown clo-
ver. The cattle relish this, and there
isno ill flavor in the milk, Let us
learn to waste less.
—Corn fodder may not be equal to
good hay, but corn fodder cut into
short lengths and improved by the ad-
dition of ground grain, will be relished
by all classes of stock. In winter it
may be steamed or scalded, so as to be
fed warm, and will prove valuable in
enabling the hay to go further.
A writer says that many fail to un-
derstand, while yet it is the fact, that
when cows are on good pasturage is
when they need salt the most. The
better plau is to keep a supply in a
convenient place where they can help
themselves. One advantage with rock
salt is that it does not waste to any
great extent if left exposed.
—The owner of a small farm who
keeps only one or two cows, is more
interested, or should be, in having
choice animals than those who own
large flocks. Oue good cow will serve
the purpose of two inferior ones, and
where space is limited every additional
quart of milk or pound of butter is
quite an item with the keeping of a
single animal.
—DPedigree does not make the ani-
mal better, but it is proof that the an-
cestors of the animal were superior for
their special purposes, and if the an-
cestors possessed excellent characteris
tics the descendants ehould likewise in-
herit them. “Blood will tell,” and it
issafe to breed from noted strains.
With stock that have no pedigree
breeding is guesswork and groping in
the dark.
—Sour slop will be eaten by hogs
for want of something better, but they
will not eat as much of it as they
would of more wholesome food, and
will be more liable to disease. Slop ig
not objectionable, but it should not be
kept until it is sour, filthy and of dis-
gusting odor. Pork from such food is
not as solid and firm as that produced
from corn and a variety of food that is
more acceptable.
—DMelon growers have a new ene-
my to guard against. Those in some
parts of Delaware found large holes
pecked in the melons and were at first
unable to decide what was responsible.
Watching the patches closely they
found a colony of crows walking over
the field at early morning and pecking
the melons just enough to make them
unsaleable. One hundred melons were
thus destroyed in one field before the
thieves were recognized and driven
away.
—There are but few farmers who
have less land than they can properly
cultivate. The endeavor to utilize too
much land causes the farmer to spread
his maoure over a larger surface than
should be the case, the consequence
being that he performs more work
than is necessary to secure larger crops
on less area, The averags production
of wheat and corn is not one fifth what
it should be, and more land is used
than is required, which entails greater
expense proportionately, and a corre:
sponding diminution of profit in pro-
portion to capital invested and the
number of animals and implements
kept.
Flames Fatal Work.
Forest Fires Wiping Out Thriving Towns in the
West.— Nothing Left of Hinckley, Minn.—At
Least 150 Bodies Have Been Recovered There
or From the Nearby Vicinity—Graphic Des-
cription of the Scene as Being Told by a Lady.
--Aid Being Hurried Forward.
St PAUL, Minn., September 2.—-The
town of Hinckley, Minn., was complete-
lv destroyed by forest fires last night.
From 150 to 200 lives were lost. The
loss of life at other points will probably
swell the total to 400 dead. Bulletins
from Minneapolis, Minn , says that the
damage by fire has not been exaggerat-
ed. Duluth reports that millions of dol-
lars worth of property has been destroy-
ed and that 800 lives were lost. Relief
trains have been sent out from here and
St. Paul. A train of sufferers is expect-
ed here soon. In Wisconsin the towns
of Barothatte, Granite Lake, Cumber-
land, Pineville, Comstock and Forest
City have been burned. Seventy-five
houses were destroyed at Shell Lake and
Spooner is threatened.
THE TOWN OF HINCKLEY BURNED—
THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF A LADY. |
Str. Croup, Minn., Sept. 2.—The’
first report of the terrible loss of life at |
Hinckley was received here early this
morning from Pine City, and a message
to the Great Northern officials here said
that Hinckley had been burned, the
Great Northern round house being the
only building left and that thirty lives
have been lost. At noon a second tele-
gram placed the dead at nearly 200, and
word was also received to be prepared to
render assistance. The Great Northern
isdoing all in its power to reach the
fire-stricken town, Ever since yester-
day afternoon work trains have been
engaged in rebuilding burned bridges
and all the men that can be used are be-
ing rushed to the front. Three large
bridges are down. At 6 o'clock the
road is clear to a point four miles west
of Mora and within about fifteen miles
of Hinckley, but the officials do not ex-
pect to get into Hinckley until tomor-
row. It is thought here that the town
will be reached quicker from Pine
City.
The scenes at the front where the
work trains are engaged are frightful.
Onecrew reported that they saw the
flames sweep down on a house close to
the track. The place was enveloped 1n
fire before the people could escape. The
workmen were powerless to render any
assistance, although they were so close
that they could hear the people scream-
ing as they were being cremated.
Newspaper men are irying to reach
Hinckley over the Great Northern from
here, but it is not thought that they
will get there before to-morrow. All
telegraphic communication is shut off.
The Eastern Minnesota train which
came here from Princeton last evening
is still in the Great Northern yards, the
company keeping the passengers at the
hotel. They will not get away before
to-morrow.
A messenger from Hinckley who
reached Mora says that 148 people were
found dead and that the new town of
Pokegama is wiped out.
EVEN WORSE AT .SANDSTONE.
Sandstone, Minn. Sept. 2.--The situa-
tion at Sandstone is even more appal-
ling than at Hinckley, except in point
of numbers. Of the 200 people in the
town, one-fourth are dead.
Otto Stafferfeldt reached here from
that place to-night. He says the people
were just preparing to leave when the
fire closed on three sides, and pot a
single person saved a thing except his
clothing. About 160 went to the river,
and 50 or 60 were burned to death.
At 4 o'clock this morning he saw
over 40 bodies charred and burned, ly-
ingon every side. The people who were
saved are living on potatoes and car-
rots left in the ground.
Mr. Gilroy, conductor on the East-
ern Minnesota road, says all bridges
have been burned. One gentleman
found 47 dead bodies at Sandstone, ly-
ing uncovered in the sun. The people
are destitute of everything.
25 WISCONSIN VICTIMS.
Baronelte, Wis., Sept. 2.—Twenty-
five persons have been burned to death
by the forest fires in this vicinity.
At Shell Lake 70 houses have been
swept away by the flames.
Where a Man Daren’t Sneeze in Public.
BerLIN, September 2.—A mechanic
named Betloff was sentenced on Friday
to pay three marks or pass three days
in jail for having soeezed loudly at
night in the street. He was arrested
just after the sneeze as he was entering
his lodgings in the Zimmer Strasse.
The charge against him was ‘‘gross
misconduct,” and despite his plea of a
cold, it was sustained fully by the
court.

——The wheat crop of Minnesota
and the Dakotas will be the second
largest the three states has ever pro-
duced. It is estimated at 125,000,000
bushels. When this enormous crop is
added to the product of the other states
east of the Rocky Mountains, and the
enormous yield of the Pacific states, it
is venturing nothing to assert that the
total of the wheat crop of the country
will closely approximate 500,000,000
bushels.
——1Tt is said that the Germans are
now the best educated people on the
continent of Europe. This advance in
education has been made within the past
century, for previous to 1800 school
teachers were so poorly paid and so lit-
tle appreciated that they were often
compelled to sing on the streets in some
instances in order to earn a few pence
to supplement their meagre salaries.

Altoona’s water supply is lower
now than it has ever been heretofore.
The reservoir at Kittanning Point is
nearly empty, there is but little run-
ning in and consumers are limited in
their supply to four hours in the day.
The city authorities have made arrange-
ments to have water pumped into
Prospect Hill reservoir trom Mill run
which will to some extent increase the
supply.

bert, two promineat citizens of Ducans-
ville, became involved in a quarrel
yesterday over a question of municipal
improvement, while both men were in-

Bay Oil for Flies.
To keep out those nuisances, flies,
place a saucer containing a little oil of
bay on the window sill. Or coat the
doors and windows with any color of
paint yoa like, containing as little as 4
per cent. of oil of bay, which is not ex-
pensive, and can be had anywhere, and
nota single fly will enter the house.
Peach Ice.
To make peach-ice that is delicious :
One quart of sliced ripe peaches, one and
one-half gills of sugar, one and one-half
pints of water. Boil the sugar and water
until the syrup is reduced to one pint.
‘Wash the peaches fine and run through
a strainer. Add the syrup to the strained
fruit and freeze.
