Sunday evening last at about
four or five o'clock, a dense cloud
OF smoke was rising towards the
skies, increasing in volume every
minute. Then came weird cry of
hre! firel and the flames began to
shoot through the air in quite a
thickly built portion of the town.
The alarm brought out the people
In large number who on seeing
the large volume of smoke thought
it to be a large conflagration, but
fortunately this was not the case.
The fire originated in mysterious
manner in a small corn crib in the
Promises of the Castillo Hotel, in
which was some hay, which &C.
counts for the large volume of
smoke. The fire was easily con-
trolled and extinguished by the
use OF buckets. This little fire de-
monstrated again that there is SOM
ethingwrong in the management of
the steam engine, as it was nearly
If not over 20 minutes when steam
enough was raised to start the en-
CINE. This, was due, said Mr..
Liable, who run the machine, to
some one unacquainted with the
engine, filling the furnace with a
two small quantity of kindling
and too much coal at the start.
The wood should be prepared in
the furnace and the Fire boys
should be given n lecture ON how
to start the fire in the engine.
Steam can, and has been raised in
seven minutes. We do not see
what can prevent steam to be rails
ed in ten minutes. Would not a
quantity of pine-wood cut in small
pieces be of help to start the fire,
we believe yes, and would advise
a trial of this. Let the boys try
every week until they learn how
to raise steam in not more than
ten minutes.

CHICAGO, March 7.-Sales of cattle were gen.
erals at an advance of about 1Oc. Some lots
changed hands at former prices and others at
an advance of 15c. There was an active de-
mand for shipment East and for export and
with local slaughterers also buying literally
the 1900 head in the yards scarcely met the
requirements Of the trade. Cows and bulls
advanced quite as much as the better class of
shipping steers, the former not comprising as
large proportion Of the receipts as for some
time past. Sales were largely at &. 256t3 for
cows and bulls and at S3.7504 So for steers,
though the extreme range of quotations was
u .25G5.4O. The few loads Of Texas cattle re-
ceived found buyers at an advance equal to that
noted on native cattle, values ranging from S20
423 Veal calves were scarcer and firm and
stockerS and feeders were quiet.
HOCS.-Ihe opening advance of sc. was soon
supplemented by an additional advance of
nickel, the beet light sorts going to S., and
Is. 05G15l0 being freely paid for choice mediums
and heavyweights. Buyers were willing to pay
not many trades at lower figures, though few
culls sold as low as S2.5004.25. From 1875 to
s4.95 were the ruling prices for common to good
light and @4.9065 for medium and heavy.
SHEEP-Sheep sold at full prices at the
start, but the receipts turning out to be some
1000 head in excess of the first estimates the
na~ket became easier later in the morning and
tn average Of prices was little lower. Quota
tins for sheep ran from S3Q3.50 for culls to
Il. p for extra qualities. Lambs were salable
at S5Q6.75. Some poor and common stock was
left over.

FARM And HOME.
THE DESERTED NEST
FORESTS AND STREAMS,

Bare are the boughs, save.;o their tips still cling
The fragrant orioles deserted nests,
Its tattered fragments IN the breezes swing
In idle mockery of its summer rest.
The patient weaver, at her labors busy
Has walked Us often with the morning light, -
Or darting downward from her summit
dizzy,
Flashed like meteor across our sight
Sombre in hue, like Portals leaden casket,
Once filled, like that, with most precious
prize,
1t hangs in air, broken, ragged basket,
Its contents scattered under sunny skies
Beneath the sheltering foliage closely shaded
1t Stunned the pryIng schoolboy's eager gaze
While the slim twig to which It's deftly braided
Offered no foothold for the squirrels ways
Naught cares the bird for her deserted dwelling.
Free as the air on which she spreads her wing
Her breast ere now with warmer breezes swelling
Perchance another melody she sings.
So with ourselves, through many cline and ma
ton,
In search of wealth or fame we wander wide.
Knowing for years no settled habtation-
To 10 one spot IN earth's fair surface tied
Still, as the bird with summers sun returning,
Finds the old tree which TO hang her nest
So we, hearts for chilGhood's pleasures yearn-
ing,
Seek the old home, our wanderings ore, to
restl
'Pllgrims on earth. with no abiding city,"
Through what far planet are we yet to roam?
Where shall we rest when heavenly love and
pity
Shall end out tolls in our eternal homer

Insects mi arious to Grasses.

a very large number of insects live and
develop in grass and meadow lands. Some
live on plants above ground, others on the
roots below and some even in the stems of
the grass itself Clover also sustains a
large number of species on root, stem,
leaf and flower. Each year the number of
insects increases until finally the grass
runs out. Cut worms feed on the grass
and clover above ground, wire worms on
the roots below. The cut-worms that are
injurious usually become about half grown
In the Tall. winter In that condition on or
just below the surface sheltered by the
grass itself, and resume their feeding
early in the spring as soon as vegetation
starts.
Wire worms usually live more than one
year IN the larval states, and as rule in
ter among the roots IN that condition.
When they are fully grown they undergo
their changes to pupa and image quite
early In the summer, and then the beetles
remain under ground during the winter.
Prof. Comstock, of Cornell station, has
found that blowing between July 20 and
Sept. 20 SO disturbs these alternating
beetles that the insects die and do not
emerge during the following spring.
Prof. Smith, entomoiogist of the New
Jersey station, believes that large per-
centage of insect can be averted by good
farm practice, and recommends to pillow
late in the fall whenever possible. In
bulletin No. IS he repeats his advice to
use kainit whenever practicable as effect
I've against both cut worms and wire
worms. The authorities quoted agree as
to the value of fall blowing for the de
struction of insects, but Prof. Comstock
reported poor success with kainit as
against wire worms

The Incubator.

The incubator if of improved self-regu-
lating kind is very handy for growing
early chicks. IL is used exclusively by
those who make t ne growing of chicks for
ear Y market a business, but it may be
used with profit by farmers, who know
that the earlier chicks are Matched the
better winter layers they will prove next
season. 1t is impossible to get fowls that
will set early enough. Later in the sea-
son the incubator may be put away for
next year, and the Matching be done by
hens in the old-fashioned, natural way. A
hens time is not so valuable as that of the
person who will necessarily be obliged to
give the incubator-hatched chicks a good
deal of care.
