WII Know Better Next Time.

one day last week Harvey Marz'
tenant on the A. c. Huffer farm, near
Boonsboro, burned out a humble
bees nest on place near his barn.
where he thought he would stack his
straw when threshing. The bees left
and the day passed, and the grass
smouldered. In the afternoon the
threshing machine was moved to the
place. and the straw sent shooting
out on the spot where the bees nest
had been. The smouldering grass
ignited the straw and the fire burned
up a load of wheat, the wagon ana
the threshing machine, with loss OF
several Ii undred dollars.

Eog to Get a Better Price for Wheat.

ton 10 Oet q better TIICe TUT uncut
Mr.. \. Henry Towberman, Il well
known farmer of Augusta county,
saws he intends to get more than sixty
cents for what wheat he wishes to
dispose Of. His plan is to feed it to
fatteuing hogs, and at the present
price of hogs. it would make the
wheat bring from 80 cents to 81. He
saws his father before him tried it
when wheat was low and tried it sue
cessfullv. When the barn of Mr.. Sam
uel Tutwiler, in this county, was
burned, a large quantity Of his wheat,
though not burned, was too much
smoked and scorched TO be saleable'
He had it ground and fed it to his
hogs and thereby realized good
price for it. Mr.. Towberman says the
wheat should be soaked or ground
before it is fed. The only trouble he
sees in the plan now is the great
scarcity of pigs in this section. 1t Is
hard to find them for sale anywhere.

Cheap Fares From Chicago and Mis-
souri, River Points.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-A proposition was
submitted to the Western Passenger AS
sociation lines to-day to use $40 rate be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri River,
$40 each way in connection with the S65 90
rate from the Missouri River to the Pa
cific Coast, making the round trip rate
S85 so from Chicago to California for the
Midwinter Fair.
The Burlington to-day put in rate of
S65 90 to the Pacific Coast, travelling
limit of fifteen days, with final return
from the Missouri River to Southern
California points. The $50 80 rate from
Colorado common points to the Pacific
Coast will be $50 for the round trip. When
the cheap rates to the Worlds Fair were
recently made by the Western Passenger
Association, as the Rio Grande Western
was not represented, Colorado and Utah
points were exempted. The matter has
now been adjusted, and the same rates
will apply from that territory as from all
other points in the association's territory,
SWEEPING REDUCTIONS.
ST. PAUL (Minn.), Oct. 16.-The $500"
road announced sweeping reductions in
passenger rates to the coast to-day, to go
into effect Friday. \ cut has been threat
ened for some time, and was made possi-
BILE by the connection of the 800" and
the Canadian Pacific on coast business.
A rate of S65 to San Francisco and return
and $50 to Puget Sound points has been
announced, reduction from $50. 1t is
