THE FIREs.-FrOm what we cal
gather in relation to the burning of
Chellis house and of Rothschilds
property, we think the fire was caused
by an incendiary who set it to cover
the theft of the Rothschids' goods
Such appears to be the prevailing
opinion in Glover. The barn haC
been broken open once before this
winter though nothing was lost We
think. The paddock that belonged tC
the cart was found in the road the
morning after the fire. and when thu
fire was first discovered the barr
doors were open. How come then
open? The theory of the whole thin!
is that some one broke the cart open
riAed it Of the goods, carried them OF
and then set fire to the buildings t.
cover the theft. Mr. Rothschild wa
in New york at the time-gone to bu,
goods. A nephew was at home wit
his wife. The goods were not insur
ed. Glover has two or three famou
thieves. Would 1t not be well and a
compliment to their ability to loOl
them over?

FARMERS CLUB. - Club met at II
school house in district No. IA, accordin
to adjournment. Geo. B. Brewster in Il
chair.
f. b. Church. am not much acquain
ed with the subject we have for discussic
this evening. My practice has alwa,
been to feed potatoes to my stock in vii
ter, and am greatly in favor of feeding roo
in winter, and am not only in favor of
but think we should take great pains
raise roots for this purpose. Turnips, beet
carrots, &c, are most excellent to feed OF
to stock at any time of year, and more e
pecially in the winter season, when Gait
are confined almost exclusively to dry ha
and often poor hay at that. Roots ke
the animals in healthy condition, ma
them feel well, keep them growing if youn
and if old they come out of the stable
spring in better order, are better able
do the work asked of them, whether it
for the dairy or as field oxen. | am me
decidedly in favor of more extensive 70
culture and root feeding not only to o
cattle but to our horses. | think | c.
raise potatoes cheaper to feed out than al
other root crop. l do not believe in co
for fodder in winter. 1t is too expense
TO raise and too difficult TO cure
VIM l.. Locke have raised corn fo
der for two years, and think it pays well
raise roots, especially to feed out wi
straw; think potatoes better than turni
fed to COWS agree with Mr.. Church til
roots should be more extensively raised
purposes of fodder.
