night about midnight, in the rear of the
First National Bank. It was first dis.
covered In stable belonging to Hail s.
Poor, wholesale grocers. The fire spread
with great rapidlty, communicating TO
CathCarts dry goods store near by, and
to the millinery establishment Of Mrs. j.
d. Legg, then to the store of Hall & Poor,
which was completely gutted. Cathcart
& Lygas' store was saved before the fire
had done much damage, though consid-
cradle loss was incurred in the removal Of
stock. Hall & Poor saved very little Of
their stock, the flames having communi.
Gated to aquantity Of kerosene oil, render.
ing the heat unbearable. BY the super.
human exertiOns ol the flremen, the
flames were confined TO Hall & Poor's.
The loss ranges from $4,000 to $780,

about $4,000. The insurance on their
stock il not known at this date, but II is

How to Milk.

The Rarai American says: 1t is q
fact that poor milker will spell almost
any COW, and there are but few people who
are aware Of the fact that in the mere
process Of milking, great difference is
made in the yield Of Il dairy COW. The
ability to bring COW to the largest
yield Of milk, varies greatly with diff.
terent mixers, as many persons who
consider themselves good mixers, arc
in reality very poor ones. Owing to
the fact that large proportion of what
COW gives at milking, is secreted
during the process OF milking, it must
naturally follow that unless the COW is
in quiet, contented state of mind, and
satisfied with the mixer, the usual sc
erection Of uewsupplies during the milk
ing will not take place II is generally
owing to this cause that cows often
times hold up their milk, as it is term
ed, and this can not be obviated so long
as the COW is in restless state of mind
and dissatisfied with her mixer.
AN exchange says that, six years ago,
Scotch dairywoman did most of the
milking Of herd of nine cows. She
was the best and quickest mixer that
we ever knew. The cows gave au un.
usually large quantity, and continued
their milk later than usual. The next
year the same job was mainly done by
less skillful hands, aud the result de
monstrated that the loss was at least ten

demand for labor in every branch of

mechanic must abandon hand labor aud

eaten up in expenses. Hay may be
made aud put 10 the barn by machinery

The old style Of crop is half ton per

this difference for his profit eight dol

mer. He began by draining four acres,
in which he put down about 4 900 feet
Of tile, something over 60 rods to an

apart. The work was done in very
thorough manner, the bitches being
four feet deep; pipe tile, with collars,
we're laid, the mains being three iachcs
in diameter, and the latterals an inch
and three iourths. The collars, BY
holding the ends of tho pieces evenly
together, give every piece u chance to
run its full capacity of water. A tight.
ly stretched cord was used for regulat.
ing the grades of decent, an operation
which always requires considerable care
and some engineering ingenuity. AL.
though the whole work was done 10 the
most thorough manner, and obviously
somewhat more expeusively at the start
than most understanding, yet the in.
crease 10 tho crops has paid the owner
at least 20 per cent. on the Investment,

Another farmer in the same county had
two acres of land, previously unfit for
cultivation. drained in this thorough
manner, that yielded him 1875 bushels
Of corn in q year, or at the rate of 623
bushels per acre.
