PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24-The disastrous con-

last night. was got under complete control at
about o'clock this morning, after half dozen
firms had been completely burned out and some
fifteen to twenty other establishments seriously
damaged by fire and water. The books of the
firms who suffer the greatest loss are in the ruins
of the buildings, and it is difficult. up to noon
to-day to obtain reliable estimates of the losses
and insurance. The losses however. will no
doubt aggregate upwards of million dollars, and
nearly all the establishments were well insured

Corn tae Great American crop.

Corn, or maize, is the great American tillage crop. There is no other of half it's area. Wheat has nearly half and cotton a quarter of it's breadth It is sufficient to cover Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, with slice of Iowa in addition. Its area last year, though reduced by drought, was 51 per cent of that of all cereals together. and it's product was 55 per cent. It is now grown in every state and territory In the Union, though sparingly in those of high elevations. in the Rocky Mountain region. The supply as population in creascs is enlarged rather than dimin- ished. It was 25.5 bushels per head in t950 2G.G in 1SG0 29.7 in 1870 and 35 in 1aeQ.
 The crop, large as it Ia, is exported in small proportion. Only 4 per cent. of the production of seventeen years has gone abroad for market. The home market is 96 per cent. of all, and its relative abundance 1T scarcity makes the price. If source, the price is high, and foreigners decline to buy; if low enough to compete with foreign feeding stuffs larger quan- tity is exported. Neither Liverpool nor Chicago makes the price, but the farmers and country feeders, who use five -siXths of all. It is q crop of which railways carry but a small part. Less than one fifth crosses state lines Half is used for feeding for milk or flesh, one-tenth for human food and four-tenths for the food of working animals. For spirits scarcely l per cent. is used.
 The prospect for the present year is for the largest area ever grown of this dis tinctively American crop Aside from the area intended for grain there ere millions of acres drilled foB forage. the silo and the summer dairy. No other plant will produce so much nutritious feed on 0 given area. No ether Is worth 50 much for American tillage.

seIectinr send Corn.

Professor Johnson. of the Michigan Agricultural college, has practiced the following method of selecting seed corn for number of years with satisfactory results;
 When husking, the most perfect ears are selected and sent to the drying room. A second sorting follows, when all ears net up to the standard are rejected The corn is then tied up with wool twine in lots of fifty ears or more, or strung on wire with Smiths device for hanging up corn" The ears are then hung up in the drying room. The room below the drying room is heated by coal fire, and the chimney from this room passes through the drying room, thus securing a dry and even temperature First-Selection of perfect ears when corn is husked.

A Yenr of Plenty.

Corn leads the cereals in general inn portance and promised abundance of the crop. Spring wheat has not fully main tained it's high promise in June.
 Full estimates of winter wheat cannot yet be made, but the results of threshing so far as known promise a larger yield than was expected early In the season. Cotton has passed trough the season with but little injury from climatic changes, rust or insects. Pasturage in the main has been excellent. and in the states and territories forming the great pasturage belt exceptionally good
 The apple and peach crops are large, es- pecially in states where scarcity existed last year. It is satisfaction to know that importations of potatoes will not be needed, every state reporting a high av- craze. Hay is generally satisfactory clover standing high in quality. There has been a large increase in acreage of oats, and the crop is probably the largest ever grown.

BUTTER PACKAGES.
Description of Four Kinds of Packages in

General Use for Creamery Butter.
 There are four kinds of packages in general use for creamery butter Three of these are made of wood. the remain ing one is of tin.
 A form very commonly used Is known as the Welsh tub although it is made in America The Welsh tub is made of white ash and is bound with black ash hoops The slaves are made by machinery and the bottom is fitted in like barrel head Either five or six hoops are used. more generally five If only five two are placed at each end and one in the middle If six are used. three are placed at each end The weight of the tub is eight or nine pounds. and it holds fifty five or sixty pounds of butter
 The frkin is also largely used It is made of white oak. with hickory hoops 1t is headed. top and bottom. like barrel, and is the same size at each end being twelve and one half inches in diameter at the ends and fifteen inches in the middle. The slaves are thirty inches long The frkins are very often sawed in two and used as half firkin tubs, with white oak covers, which are nailed on. The frkin holds about hundred pounds of butter.

Viaccar Making.

Vinegar making is now in order in all sections of the country where there is a surplus of apples. Much vinegar is made from the juice of early apples, wastes of mills and repressings. Farmers who make vinegar in small quantities for home use, as rule cling to the old fashioned way of putting the cider into barrels or casks, filling them two-thirds full and letting them stand till the contents turn to vim egar, which usually takes about two years.
 The vinegar business carried on in 8 large way, however, necessitates some kind of a generator which hastens the process.
 The vinegar generator shown in the cut is an arrangement used by Charles A. Green, of Rochester, N Y, and was re- gently described and illustrated in Rural New Yorker.
 The design of this arrangement is to draw cider from one barrel to another, exposing it to the air and heat. The cider slowly drips from the upper barrel down the troughs to the other barrels. When the first barrel is emptied, another is rolled up to take it's place
 Another plan sometimes used, when it Is desired to make cider vinegar quickly, consists in making shelves with grooves, say an inch deep. through which the cider foTs backward and forward and then down to the next shelf and so on until in this way the cider is exposed to the atmosphere and warmth for an hour or more before passing into barrel or tank. Another plan is to fll barrel with oak shavings, run sharp vinegar through them, then run the cider through the shavings slowly. But it has been found that all methods of hastening the making of vinegar are inclined to affect the quality; that vinegar hastily made is sharp and stingy, but that it lacks body and richness of fruit tone, and yet the process can be somewhat hastened without re- sulting in any injury, as for instance with the generator illustrated
 To make vinegar in a small way the most practical mode, as has been inti- mated, is to put the cider in barrels three fourths full, leave out the bung and keer tue cider in warm place, the warmer the better up to 50 or S degs The authority quoted from advises, when one has cid vinegar barrels or casks containing mother" and some good vinegar thesl need not be removed. Simply put in the cider daily or weekly and draw it off as fast as made, and place in fresh barrels | This is the manner in which the best vinegar is made, and with the least | trouble. By this plan the vinegar i: being made continually with vigor Re member that vinegar is always growing stronger or weaker, and that if an old bar rel of vinegar has no new material supplied it may perish from idleness, it's stengtl and virtue becoming worthless.

Feeding. Apple Pompcs to Cox..

Chemical analysis shows that apple pomace has higher feeding value than turnips, beets or potatoes. But it must be fed judiciously in order to obtain it's full value. For instance, a COW cannot thrive on an exclusive diet of pomace; if left to help herself uIrestrained to load of pomace dumped down within her reach On the other hand, peck, say, of this substance per day, fed along with tho ration given to horned stock. will prove decidedly advantageous.
