A FIGHT IMMINENT.
Poor Prospect of Settlement of the
Bush.Street Fire.

Attorney Van Ness. representing the
insurance underwriters interested in
Buyer & Reich's claim. intimated yester-
day that an understanding had been
reached by his clients, and no compro-
mise except for possible corrections would
be made. That means that the companies
have accepted the investigation commit
tees report as final decision and intend
to stand by il.
1.-THE committee has the matter in its
control" said he, land | suppose as |
have not been notified of any difference of
opinion the underwriters have placed their
faith in the committee and will not recede
from this decision"
He said that the report of Expert Low
den, who examined Buyer e. ReIch's books,
shows loss not to exceed $4,000. The
total claim against the insurance COM
panles is $4,000. The firm has offered
certain explanations, and il they are
found TO be correct the amount of $500
will be increased to some extent.
An offer TO pay the amount fixed by the
committee Will be made, but If the firm
holds out for more it is likely that a law
suit will begin. Buyer IL Reich's attorneys
are determined to fight and the firm itself
shows no sign OF weakening.

1.-THE FISHES OF NORTH AMERICA
Part three of this splendid publication is
in no way inferior to its predecessors. 1t
contains two colored plates each of which
is worthy of a handsome frame. The COL
oring is true to life and the drawing is
clear and vigorous. AS for the text of the
book, 1t is sufficient commentator to say
that 1t Is from the pen of William G.
Harris, editor of the American Angler
With this enthusiastic sportsman the
preparation OF this work has been a labor
of love. he has caught, with his own
hook ana line, nearly all of the fishes
which the photographers have reproduced
with life-like fidelity, and his descriptive
matter is as breezy and sincere as the text
of ola Isaac Walton himself. When COM
pleted this book will constitute the most
complete as well as the most beautiful
record OF the fishes found in American

Poultry ParaRranha.

How many of us appreciate the true i'm
portanCe of the poultry industry of this
great nation asks W. NJ NJ. Barnum in
Indiana Farper. According to the last
census the valuation of the industry for
one year was S200.000,0 00 Over $500, 600
worth of eggs alone are annually shipped
to England.
Personal supervision is all that will an
swer in the poultry business; there are
too many important details.
The best birds are raised on the farm ::
but they are permitted their liberty and
thrive naturally
Sift little sulphur into thenesting ma
terial, which should be renewed as often
as once month.
Clean out the roosting room as often as
every other day. Horizontal perches are
the best.
The hen is an omnivorous bird: change
the diet frequently.
Clean up the barn floor and give the ref
use TO the fowls. Don't give everything
to the hogs.
Set down and estimate the amount of
capital and labor you have invested in
your horse and COW, and then the per
cent. Of profit you receive for it. II is a
fair sum we must admit. But lust 20 a
little farther and compare it with the
modest, unassuming hen on the same
identical basis. You will be surprised
at the revelation. The hen is by
great odds the best paying animal on the
farm. Treat her little more as she de-
serves.
Whatever you do, don't crowd your
poultry. Give them plenty Of "elcow-
room" or failure is reasonably sure to
follow.
Eggs contain about 81 per cent. of
water. Hens need cousiderab Die of IL, and
the quality will directly effect both eggs
and meat
Keep lime, crushed bone and grit con-
tinually before your fowls. IL is unwise
to neglect this or the dust bath.
Wire makes the best poultry fence but
have few widths Of boards at the bot
tom. II strengthens the structure and
avoids quarreliug between the birds.

A French method Of preserving cranes

II is said that if the water be renewed
from time to time, the grapes will keen

A high site should always be selected
for pear culture Better drainage is
thereby procured and the trees ripen
their wood earlier in the fall, and are.
therefore, harder than on low soils. and

Making a Good Seed Bed.

w. E. Farmer, in the Epitomist, says:
Most farmers now appreciate the i'm
portance Of making good seed bed for
wheat. The standard of the average
wheat bed is very high to-day, but i'm
provement along this line is ever open to
those who are longing for it, After the
crop of oats early potatoes, barley or
grass is harvested the sooner the land can
be prepared for the wheat the better. IL
is quite essential that the wheat plants
should get a good start before frost, so
that a protective mass Of leaves can
be formed over the whole field. In
this way danger from winter freezing is
removed. A well underdrained field will
largely remove danger from winter freez-
ing. Water standing in the soil continu-
ally is a constant menace TO the wheat
crop. Even with a perfect growth of
wheat IL is hard to prevent winter freez-
Ing and heaving in such wet soils. OF
two fields ready for wheat select the one
that has the best drainage. and half the
battle is won A well drained field will
also help the wheat in dry as well as IN
wet and cold weather.
The seed bed should be fine, mellow and
thoroughly level and even. Use plow and
harrow until this mechanical condition is
obtained. But do not imagine that this
calls for deep cultivation. As past eS-
perience has proven, wheat in the
fall needs only superhclal
root growth. A deep growth
is INJURIOUS From two or three
and half inches down is deep enough

II has been demonstrated that bond
issue Of not exceeding 100000 by the
county would put all the public roads in
splendid condition, and complete the
drainage of all the swamp lands in the
county in very short time. This issue
of bonds has also been recommended by
the recent grand jury Of the superior
court 1t has also been shown that the
present appropriations by the county for
road purposes, drainage. etc, were more
than sufficient to pay the interest on such
n bond issue, without increasing the
present rate of taxation; besides, all the
lands taken up and improved would add
to the taxa bic property of the county and
in a short time. instead Of an
increase in the rate of taxation, there
would be a reduction and sinking fund
created for the redemption Of the bonds.
