PRACTICAL PROHIBITION.

A Great Kentucky Distillery Burned-
Twenty-Five Thousand Barrels Of Whisky
Destroyed-Loss About $500. 1000.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug la-Twenty-
i've thousand barrels Of burned whisky
at the Kentucky distillery yesterday
caused one of the most disastrous fires
that ever visited the city of Louisville.
| A rough estimate made at noon. while
the flames were still roaring furiously,
placed the total loss at fully $500. 900.
1t was all caused by carelessness on the
part of colored man who was assisting
the watchman in moving some barrels
to reach one in the storehouse that was
leaking. Placing the lamp on the floor
to better attend to his work, he climbed
on top Of one of the piles. But mis-
step started the leaking barrel down
and when it struck the lamp the whisky
and oil together started blaze.

out completely.
The loss of the pork packing company
will be about $4,000. The losses arc
nearly or quite $500. 900 on the distil-
lery proper and the destroyed whisky.
This loss is divided among twelve
whisky firms for whom Julius Bark

Distilling Company manufactured
whisky. These firms are the Kentucky
Distilling Company. Max Hoefheimer,
S. Lehman & Sons, j. NJ. Miller & Co..
Bernheim Distilling Company, Victor

Co., Kentucky Blue Grass Distilling
Company and j. c. Marks & Co.
These twelve firms had among them
in the warehouse 23. Il; packages, most
ly in barrels, or 1, 100, III gallons. This
whisky is valued at 100000 in round
numbers. The machinery and other
contents of the building brings the total
of the distilling company's loss up to
100000. This is irrespective OF the
loss to the Government in unpaid taxes.

are easily and rapidly made by having
the material cut so as to have only three

This is done by having the bottom

will do 4 inch thick. The ends are of
4-iuch hemlocks cut So inches long
and 81 inches deep The piece for the
bottom and sides is 7 inches in length,
and the width includes 81 inches for
each side and 81 inches for the bottom,
a tota. width of laH inches. In making
these boxes the ends are set up end
ways, and one side fastened to each end
piece; the ends are then laid upon rneir
upper edge, and tho bottom bent around
the corners of tho ends and tightly
nailed, after which tho remaining side
is fastened. The cornors of the sides
and bottom split enough to admit of the
necessary drainage. This makes a
cheap and quickl made box, the cost
of the material depending entirely upon
the local price of lumber and labor

Points About Sowing and Pianting-GrOw'

Points About Sowing and I'ianting-GrOw-
Ing for Market.
A point upon which writers and grow
crs can not in all cases agree Is that
touching the relation between early
Feed sowing and early seed ripening.
In our gardening operations we have
been of the opinion that it has been
profitable for us to SOW our seed
.early. and have strong, stocky plants
for outdoor setting. Last year con-
firmed this idea, as on our early
plants we had fair pickings of ripe fruit
from Fori's Early Advance by the first
OF August.
The seed was sown under glass the
latter part of March; the plants were
taken from the seed-bed and pricked
into boxes inches deep and 20 inches
square. They were planted about one
inch apart each way, and could grow in
Ehcm two or thr6 weeks. At this time
they were again transplantcd; as rule
we planted them in soil placed several
inches deep on the greenhouse bench.
The plants were now put 2H inches
apart each way, and would remain about
three weeks, or until the first week in
May, when they were transferred to the
boxes illustrated herewith, which shows
a tray of six compartments, each OF
which holds one plant. This tray now
appears as it is after the plants have
been planted in the field. one side-piece
90 being taken off, SO that the earth
about the roots is not disturbed in re-
moval. The plants stay in here until
the weather permits of outdoor plant
ing. These trays are feet in length
by inches in width and 81 in depth.
The pieces at the ends and in the CEN
ter are preferably of soft wood. like
pine, 4 inch in thickness, for ease in
drawing the nails which hold the nova

The autumn winds are wang sadly wailing
The woods are fraught with moaning and with
with sghs;
In gullies deep the fallen leaves are trailing,
The somber clouds have darkened all the skies.
The maple groves fll'd with yellow glory;
The sumac leaves have turned to red and gold
While stands the naked oak, all aged and hoary,
Guarding the forest like knight Of old
The lark no longer sings within the weadow;
The swallow skins no more across the lea;'
Nor robin sings within the gove's deep shadow,
And all the land is dismal as can be.
o tell me, Nature, wherefore all this sadness.
0 tell me, woodlands why is all this woe
And tell me, meadows, where is all thy gladness?
And why, o winds, ye wall so sad and low?
"Alas the land is full of means and sighing,"
The wind replied coming DER the wold;
"For all Of Nature weeps for summer dying,
And sadly mourns-rhe year is growing old p
All, thus with life when it is fast declining,
And silver hairs woven 'mong the gold;
For all the past we never cease repining,
And sigh to think that we are growing old!
