A. G., Kimball was colled away last

The topic for the past week has been
the fire which laid a portion of the busi.
ness part Of town in ruins Tuesday morn
inc, April 20. The fire originated in
Malcomb & Millers grocery store. There
are many theories as to its origin, but the
truth will probable never be known, as it
was well under way when first discover
ed The entire stock was destroyed and
the building mass of ruins. They had
their stock insured for $4,000. The build
ing was fully insured. II was owned by
J. NJ. Sherman. The east wall lell oyer,
completely crushing In the jewelry store
of w. S. Golding. Mr.. Golding was not
carrying any insurance at the time and his
loss is great, not only on his buildings but
also on his stock, for many things which
were taken iiom his store were either lost
or damaged. Ee has the sympathy Of the
community and we trust they will come to
his assistance in this his time of need and
help him to start again. ]. f. June occu-
pied the room east Of the grocery store,
having a stock of shoes in It. His entire
stock was saved with comparatively little
loss. He is now in the Elmslie room. J.
II. Beattie's stock Of clothing was hastily
removed to the Doud room. II seemed at
one time that the entire corner would be
swept away, but the morning was still and
our people worked with energy, and we
can but feel thankful that IL was no
worse. Mr. Beattie and Mr.. June were
fully insured. Wstrust Il may be long
time ere we are visited by another such a
fire, but 1t might be well to keep the en-
gine in pood working order, for we know
not when or where Il may be needed. We
have heard of but one accident connected
with the fire-John Mathers was cut on

RUSHING For The LAND.

One of the chief explanations of the
increasing popularity of the northwest
of this continent for farming operations
is the diversity of country which it
offers. Nature has so fashioned it that
every branch of farming in the temper
ate zone has been provided with To-
cality. And the extent of country adapt
ed to agriculture is a revelation to those
who not many years ago thought that
Minnesota was the boundary of agrieul-
tural land and that wheat-growing was
doubtful even IN Minnesota. Beyond
Minnesota, across the boundary, the
Canadian territories of Manitoba, ASSN
iboia, Alberta and Saskatchewan are
claiming pre-eminence in wheat. in cat
tie raising, and in mixed farming.
Manitoba this year has outstripped the
rest of the world in the quantity and

MONEY IN PORK.
The Outlook for Hogs Brighter Than II
Has Been for Years.

Those farmers who read the papers
and try to keep up with the times
know that corn and clover make good
growth for pigs and good pork. II
SKINNED milk can be added, so much
the better; less corn and clover will be
required. 1t is pretty well settled, by
those who have tried it. that a hog
weighing from 20 to 100 pounds in
May will double its weight by fall
with no other food than the clover
pasture An acre of clover will pas
ture eight to ten hogs, an equivalent
of 900 pounds of pork or equal to $50
bushels of corn. But we would not
confine hogs to either corn or clover;
il they can have only one, by all
means give them the clover. 1t is bet
ter to combine the two and then oc-
casionally throw in little something
else to make a variety. The clover is
best relished when young and tender.
Hence it is better to keep enough hogs
to the acre to keep the clover well fed
down.
The destruction of hogs last year be-
cause of the short corn crop, the open
ing of foreign markets to our pork
products. and the short hog crop this
year, added to the naturally increasing
demand because of increase of popula-
ton, ali point to higher prices for some
lime to come. Our big corn and grain
crops this year will help out wonder
fully in supplying the demands Of the
market, as swine breed rapidly under
favorable conditions and modern meth
DDS of breeding and rearing produce
marketable pork in remarkably short
period. With plenty of feed and good
demand, no one need hesitate about,the
profitable production of pork until flu
ture signs. some way off, shall point to
the prospects of glutted market I'm
til then pork must be paying product,
and still more SO because of the higher
price of beef of the best quality. Sure
~. the avenues of prosperity appear to
be opening freely to our farmers, who
have been resting so long under cloud.
The farmer who has faith in the hog
may reasonably hope to now enjoy the
reward of we'll doing. -Colman's Rural

JOHNNY'S COMPOSITION.
He Tells All He Knows About Cats and
Good Deal He Doesn't Know.

He Tells All He Knows About Cats and q
Good Deal He Doesn't Know.
The cat is a very interesting animal.
He is small fur dog that meows, and
has whislxers and several other things.
He has four paws-two fore paws and
two behind ones-and a tail. He has
been known for many years, two of
him having been said to be on the Ark,
where he must have been tied up, or
what would have become of the rats?
Cats don't get to be cats until they are
year old, when they stop being kit
tens, which they are born as. 1t takes
a kitten several weeks to get his eyes
open, il he doesn't get drowned before
that time, and he scratches when he is
mad. My father says camels used to
be cats, but got their backs up one day
and couldn't get them down again. and
so became camels. / have never heard
camel neon. but / suppose they can,
because they can do most anything, hav-
ing seven stomachs and going many
days without water
The dictionary says a cat is carniv-
orous quadruped, but that does not
sound like a eat. The old Egyptians
used to be very fond of the cat, treat
ing him like a member of their own
family, and making mummies out of
him when he died. Some of these mum
mics still live. They used to hang peo-
pie for killing cats in Egypt, because
the cat was supposed to be q sacred an
imal, being sign of the moon, proba-
bly, because they are generally out all
night. We have a cat named Tom, and
he has six kittens, which he washes
their faces every day just like me.
Cats never fall out of anything with
out landing on their feet, which is why
their feet are so soft, and they have to
be killed nine times before they die,
and sometimes they don't even then.
They eat milk when tame, and when
wild they cry like a baby until some
body comes to see what is the matter,
and then they eat him, which is fatal,
and teaches people to mind their own
business, and not go seeing what other
peoples children are crying for.
A eats eye is a very queer thing,
looking like "a slot machine all day and
an agate at night, seeing better in the
dark than in the lights. like witches,
anu SoLic pSoplc uOh AihC lhCAh vi budt
account, but do.
The two best eats ever lived belonged
to Dick Wilmington, mayor of London,
who went out west and killeCs lot of
rats at dollar head. and took the
money to his master to get to be mayor
with, and Puss in Boots, who stole his
masters clothes and ate Il giant, there
bv making his master owner of the
farm and husband of rich girl, whose
father died and left it all to her
My cat can't do anything like this,
but he gets there just the same, and is
very gentle to my little brother, who
pulls his tail and doesn't have to wish
he hadn't
Altogether I don't know what we
should do without cats, especially those
that like to have them lying around
just as we do
Yours truly, JOHNNY.
