There is general complaint that the
city fountain on Broad street is very
much out of place. 1t is generally
used, and only with difficulty, ashorses
either have to hold back the weight
OF wagon when coming down hill,
or pull the weight when coming up.
Yesterday while drinking horse was
pushed down by the weight of the
wagon which he was trying to hold
back. The fountain would be in a
much better place if on Fayette street
side of the Court House. -

SALEM'S $4,000 FIRE.
Fart Of Craven Brothers GLASS;
works DESTROYED. .

A tire broke out shortly before four
o'clock Friday afternoon in the
packing house at Craven Bros glass
works, Salem, and soon the entire
structure, which was large two-story
building, and the shedding adjoining,
were in flames and entirely destroyed.
The fire also communicated to one of
the large factories near by but, the
wind shifting and water being OBJ
tained, this was saved with only one
end burned out. There was consider.
able ware and soda in the packing
house and sheds, all ready for ship
ment. Fortunately the wind set the
tire toward the creek, on which the
factories are located else a serious
conflagration might have eIsued, az
the city is without water because of a
broken water main.
In the absence of city water, the
steam fire engine did good service with
water pumped from the creek. It is
supposed the fire was started by two
boys who were caught playing In the
packing house, and driven out just be-
fore the fire broke out. No one was
working there, the factories being idle
now. The loss cannot be ascertained.
as the Messrs. Craven are away from
home, but it will probably reach $S, 900
or $4,000, and is only partly covered
by insurance.

The Factory Running.

The j. L. Rice Shoe Factory is now
in complete running order, and every
thing is booming down there. The
Company's statesmen started out last
Saturday with full lines of Fall samples
and the factory will be shipping goods
to all parts just as fast as they can be

Big Fees.

Since July 1st., $205,535 has been
paid in Jersey City for liquor licenses.
About $40, 900 remains yet to be paid
on licenses already granted by the
Aldermen. Last year the license
money amounted to 1924, 200. Failures
in business and the closing out of un-
profitable saloons account for the de-

lameness of the joints and other all

it is to their seeking lofty perches that
young turkeys are usually affected

doubtful if roosts are at all necessary

tried the plan of providing litter for
the hens, and cleaning it away daily,
report that the hens keep in much bet

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

THERE is no use trying to save a
h'ighted pear tree with any application
for that purpose until all the affected
limbs are removed The same rule ap.
plies to black knot on plum and cherry
trees.
GRAPES will not mature after pick
ing, as fully-grown pears and apples
do: so if you wish them to keep well
they must be thoroughly ripened on the
vines. With proper care and handling
they may be kept we'll into the winter.
A NEW enemy of the potato vine has
made its appearance in Michigan. The
vine when attacked begins to wilt at
the top. In the hollow of the stem is
found a worm nearly an inch in length,
which appears to sap the life of the
plant.
Do NOT plant tree unless you know
how to take care of it. Some people
will plant expensive trees and shrubs
and find out how to take care of and
protect them only after the tree has be-
come the prey of some of its numerous
enemies.
A WRITER in the National Stockman
says that the speed of bees is greatly
overestimated. They do not fly when
empty at a greater speed than fifteen
to twenty miles per hour, and when
loaded do not make more than half
that speed.

1hey Assure Sufficient supply Of Pure
Water for Stock.
Having noticed several articles on the
subject of pure water for stock, and
knowing its Importance, and also that
there are many localities where it is
impossible to bring the water from
springs or depend on the small supply
from wells, would recommend a we'll
constructed cistern or number of els
terms connected together. Let us look
to the roofs of available buildings at the
first source of supplying water. Take
roof say OF 42X52 feet, including pro-
jections, and we have 2,1S4 square feet
OF surface. Allowing the annual rain-
fall to be 3S1s inches, building of the
dimensions given would catch, in a
year, SAIL gallons, or 1868 barrels,
which had much better be utilized in
this way than to be allowed to drip
into manure piles, thus washing their
goodness away. A cistern large enough
to hold 1858 barrels would have to be
20 feet in diameter and 90 feet deep,
but as the rain does not all come at
once, and it is not all used at once, the
dimensions need not be quite so large.

Leave space of about one inch behind
the brick work and every two or three
courses fill in the space thus left with
a thin grouting of sand and cement,
until the top is reached. AS soon as
the wall of the main cistern is up to
the smaller one join the outside walls
Of both and carry up together. Thor

THE HlDEBOUND HORSE,

How an Animal Afflicted with the All.
ment Can BE Cured.
This disease occurs often with the
horse and sometimes with the dog.
The animal as rule is always hungry
and thin, the skin sticking to the ribs,
fitted to the bones almost as tight as "a
drum. The disease is caused generally
by poor feed, or by the animal being a
greedy feeder and not digesting it's
food. A farmer who feeds poor, smut
ty food, and not very often, will get
his horse into the habit of plunging
his head into the nanger and gulping
food as if he were going to catch
train. In little while the horse be.
gins to look thin and does not act as
lively as usual and the owner doses
him with condition powders, but with
ont avail and it is not long before his
horse is run down. First, SAYS a
writer in New York Tribune, give the
animal dose of some good purgative,
and at the same time give him rest.
Then / would give about every three
days in his evening feed teaspoonful
of powder composed as follows: GEN
tian root, three drachms; sulphate of
iron, two drachms; which can be OBJ
tanned of any reliable druggist. When
/ say evening feed mean feed com.
posed not of oats and hay but of some
thing in the style of bran, fine feed or
middlings. When You have given about
five of these doses I would discontinue
them for about three weeks and then
give him three or four more. l tried
this on a very bad case and the animal
in less than month was new horse,
it having put flesh on her and life and
soul into her. When she was sick
think she was one of the greediest
feeders l ever saw eat, but now she is
quite calm when the feed is brought to
her and eats with ease and digests
every bit of it, so that everything that
passes her lips is of benefit to the sys.

F, AN EXCELLENT PLAN.


Benefits Incidental to Keeping Variety
Of Live Stock.
One Of the benefits derived from
keeping q variety OF stock is that farm
products can be used to better advan-
tage. In growing the necessary grain
more or less straw and fodder will be
secured, which, II properly managed,
will make cheap food, and where a
system Of rotation is carried on more
or less grass for both pasture and hay
will be grown.
With good shelter young cattle,
horses or mules can be kept in a good
condition during the winter with very
little grain if they can have plenty OF
fodder. and during the summer grass
in the pasture can be made nearly or
quite their whole feed. While hogs
will make fair growth with good pas.
turage it is generally profitable to feed
them some grain even during the sum-
mer. Cattle can be pastured during
the summer and fed largely upon fod.
der during the winter until they are
three years old, and if comfortably
sheltered will need but little grain.
With good pasturage they will be in a
fair marketable condition in the fall
when they are three years old.
Horses, mules and sheep can be kept
in the same way and can be made
ready for market with very little
grain. Hogs, however, must be fat
tened largely upon grain, and more OR
less grain is needed by the work teams
and milk cows. In raising grain for
them more hay and fodder than will be
needed will be secured, and by pur-
chasing mill feed to go with them all
can be used to good advantage This
plan admits of having a considerable
acreage seeded down to grass for
pastures and meadows and lessons the
labor considerably. BY feeding all of
the products out on the farm, with the
exception of the wheat, and buying
more or less mill feed to use in connec-
ton with the grain and fodder will
make great saving, and applying all
of the manure possible the fertility of
the soil can be kept up.
OF course everything that can be
used for feed should be saved and
every advantage be taken to secure all
of the food possible, and then feed out
to the best advantage in order to realize
the largest profit. Prairie Farmer.
