me FIRE IN one OF the MOST dangerous
Districts in Boston.
BosroN, Jan. 49,, 8 A. M.-The immense
lumber aud planning mill on Albany stree
owned by J. F. Paul g. Co., and occupied
by that firm, and about twentY-one wood
working firms, was burned this morning
The fire originated in tie boiler room,
which occupied detached building in the
rear, and quickly spread into the main
block, Jumping with great rapidity to the
roof. Ii then swept through the three
upper stories, which were filled with dry
lumber, and his portion of the building
was soon mass OF flames.
DANGEROUS DISTRICT.
The district is one Of the most dangerous
in the city, owing to the large number of
lumber yards and planing mills in the
vicinity, ami three alarms were sounded In
quick succession. Besides the boiler house
and large mill Paul e. Co. occupy several
other wooden structures, but the fire was
confined to the two former buildings by hard
work. The main building is.sfive stories of
brick and nearly 100 feet in length. The
fire is still burning flercely, but it is under
control. 1t is impossible to estimate the
loss, but it will be heavy, as the large mill
and boiler house will undoubtedly be en-
tirely destroyed.

the Bank of England had recently been

deemabe in silver as soon as the necessary
authority could be obtained. Silver
bullion is one-eight Of penny per ounce
lower to-day. The Bank of Eng4
land discount continues at &
per cent. The prevailing opinion
seems to be that the present report is based
on the revival of an old story that Mr..
Goschen, chancellor Of the exchequer. in
tends to introduce bill in parliament ask,
ing the banking authorities to issue notes.
1t Is admitted that there are indications
which would seem to justify the conclusion
that Mr. Goschen really contemplates the

CONFERENcEs HrIn

During the parliamentary recess, it ID

conferences with leading bankers of the
metropolis, asking the adyisability of
authorizing the issue of notes of small
denominations. In these conferences the
question Of issuing notes of the value Of 10
shillings as well as 2I has been under
discussion, and the understanding is that In
case such notes are issued they are to be-
made redeemnbe in silver coin. Another
significant fact is that in view of the likeIfS

FARM NOTES.

Tic food value Of butter Is about me
half that OF Its market value.
6The hog cannot thrive on an exclusive
grain diet. 1t requires bulky food also.
1t will be better to have a nice lot OF
fodder near the barn when the first now
comes than to have it buried out in the
field.
The younger an animal the greater Its
proportionate growth and gain in
weight.
There Is a watermelon farm at Adams
Park. Ga, which consists of 500 acres
and produces 400 car loads Of melons
yearly.
Plant deciduous trees and shrubs II the
ground is not frozen; they will start
early In spring and get ahead Of warm
weather.
1t takes considerable care and time to
prepare the soil for garden purposes, but
1t must be done II we expect good crops.
Think of that next spring.
The men who make the most money
from farming are not the ones who work
the hardest or the most hours, but those
who manage with the greatest wisdom.
Many farmers in Butler county, Neb.,
are feeding their potatoes to their hogs,
believing that it will pay better than
hauling them to town at prices from 10
to ID cents a bushel.
Inherent defects should be avoided.
The poultry ~fanciers have had a crooked
breastbone or a wry tail on u sire trans
mitted to all the chicks. Aim to avoid
dcformities or cnfeebled constitutions
in birds or animals.
The winter covering of strawberry
plantations may be safely DELAYED until
the ground has frozen hard. when a
wagon can be driven over the beds and
the covering material more easily dis
tlibutcd than if put on earlier.
1t is said of corn that 1t is one of the
hest foods for fatteniug hogs, but is
starvation diet to pigs. The reason is
that while corn contains the elements
that produce fat IL is deficient In mineral
matter and other elements essential to
growth.
Feed chopped scrap beef to the hens il
you wish them to lay. When eggs are
as high as at present it will pay to buy
meat for the hens. The cheaper por-
tons will answer, hut it should be lean.
Liver and fresh blood are also excellent
reproducing foods.
The ration that gives the best results
is that which is balanced so as to afford
a proper proportion of the elements nee
cssary for the production of the articles
sought, whether meat, milk or eggs.
Matured stock requires food for produce
ton as well as for the supply of itself.
Instead of washing the sheep, thus
rendering the animals liable to colds and
disease, it is now proposed in some sec
tions where sheep are raised in large
numbers to establish wool-scouring
mills, to which the wool may be carried
and washed before bailing. 1t is a move
in the right direction.

Republicans in Missouri.

Some Of the MissOurians who are seek
ing Office have prepared n little tabular
statement which they are submitting
whenever the query is raised, ''What
has Missouri done for Rcpublicanism?"
Their reilly summarized Is in short as
follows:
/. At the election In 1883 only five
states In the union cast more republican
votes than Missouri.
2. Missouri cast more republican, votes
in 1855 than any southern state cast
democratic votes (hy southern state is
meant one that seccded).
3. Missouri cast more thas half MS
many republican votes In 1SSS as all the
New England states combined (whole
number of votes for Harrison east In
Missouri, 23G 600; whole number of
votes cast for Harrison In New England,
54l ,00n),
l.. Missouri gained $4,000 republican
votes from 1884 to 1883, a larger per cent,
OF gain than any other state q show.
The condensed argument in behalf of
Missouri's claim to considerable more
patronage than she has received up to
date is being widely circulated by the
Missourians, aud they hope 1t may prove
effective. They feel that the alminis-
tration ought to be convinced of Mis-
souri's superior inducements In the
matter OF candidates for Office. ''Tlc
president ought to recognize the fact"
said n of them, ''that Missouri is one
of the most promising democratic states
Ia the union, with . little careful cult

may easily be made republican Ia lsVa'
