"A School Fire.


New YORK, November pa fire broke
out in the First ward public school, Long
Island City. )ne of the pupils of thsschool
he'd gone into the basement aud lighted a
gas jet. The wood work close to the jet
took frs and fame instantly shot through
q crevice in the floor. Over 500 children
were studying at their desks in tbs various
rooms of the school b1ilding. When the
children on the first floor saw the flame
shooting up through the boards they raised
abe cry of '.Firep' Instantly there was
panic in every room In the school bulldog.
The children rushed pell NELL from the mar
10 Y doors, crowding. jostling and striking
each other in their efforts to get out. The
children were piled up at the foot of the
stairwsys in heaps and all attempts to bring
order out of the confusion were at first
fruitless, but finally the fremen and
police were able to check the childrea,
although they had to contend with an ex-
cited mob of weeping mothers that had ap-
peered as soon as the news of the fire spread
out over the neighborhood. The fire itself
amounted to little aud as soon as it was ex-
an examination of the injured
was commenced. It was found that while
hundreds we're badly bruised and shocked,
no one was fatally or seriously hurt.

Farming,

Some of the farmers throughout
the county send in their report of
big yields of wheat, but most of
those yields were of per hundred
shcaycs. will give my experience
III raising wheat. and do not wish
any farmer friend to think that |
Am trying to make it appear that |
know more about the culture of
wheat than those who reported bio
yields. 1t shows that at least some
are trying to get out of the old ruts.
| have raised this summer from scN.
en- acres one hundred and eighty
seven $50 bushels of F'ullcastcr
Thoat. One patch was p acres on
which | growcd potatoes last season
this patch yielded % bushels or
36 4-5 per Gcfe The other was 4,
acres of oats stubbles, that viGluett
% bushels or q 40 bushels per acre.
The potato patch was sowed the
22nd of September and was just in q;
condition about like an onion bed
should be. Sowcd barely five pccks
per acre. The oats stubblcs was
sown few days before, but the
ground was not III as good condition
for rapid growcth, and consequent
ly did not tillcr as well. On the
potatoc patch | had III shocks of
ten shcavcs each, and made seven
good loads on lS foot ladders. The
oats patch looked thin, but it made
up in heads, had six ordinary load,
from this patch. The 4! acres were
cut when in the dough state and Il
bushel of this wheat weighs one
pound more per stricken bushel
than the wheat from the potato
patch which was cut when dead
ripe. | am convinced that wheat
should be cut before it is dead
ripe rs it will be more plump and
heavy. While this was being cut,
farmers passed the road and made
inquiries if il was fit 10 cut. ! was
II little suspicious myself about the
matter but it was an important les
son TO me. | SOW my wheat only
one inch below the surface and
barely that deep, use the drill reg
ulators, At first they got out of fix
quite often but ! got Norway strap
iron instead of the common strap
iron and that settled the matter.
Sold last season Fulcaster wheat
to some thirty farmers, and for
their benefit would say let your
wheat have rain if possible before
you shelter it, and it will tmesh all
right. 1t has an advantage proyid-
ing farmes make use of, that is as it
threshcs II little tough you can rake
it when the dew is off the stubbles
and your rakings will be rs nice rs

gravel in it. / make this statement

And now as the hunting season is
upon us let us give gunners little
good advice Never use your gun M
a club to kill crippled game with.
Never finger around the triggers
when you don't want to shoot. New
er lean on your gun or use it as II
rest. Never carry your gun under
any circumstance with the ham
mers down on the caps. Never car
ry it on the full cock except when
expecting game to rise. Never car
ry it with the barrel in horizontal
position. Never let it be pointed
towards yourself or any other per-
son. In going through II fence al
ways hold it before you as nearly
perpendicular as possible, with the
muzzle above your head. Never
load one barrel with the other eth
er on the cap or Mt full cock New
er take your gun home loaded.
