A Marnificent snectncie.

Brooklyn, Feb, 26.-Three alarms were sent out at 745 this morning for a fire which started in the apartments of Jeremiah Dunn, janitor of the city hall. The firemen experienced great difficulty in getting water on account of frozen hydrants and stream was not put on until S15. The hose burst a number of times, and before the firemen could at tack the fire it had spread from the top floor to the clock tower and cupola and the flames leaped skyward enveloping the statue of justice on top of the tower and making a magnificent spectacle. At S:25 the tower fell to the roof with crash. The large bell, formerly used as a fire alarm, was melted by the intense heat At S:30 the fire was under con- trol and confined to the upper floors. No one was injured.

On the home grounds Saturday the
New Bedfords defeated the Portlands in
well played game. Sullivan, late of
Cleveland, pitched for the home team.
He was wild at first and owing to that
fact the visitors were enabled to secure a
lead which the Portlands could not oyer
come. In the first inning base on
balls, an error by Sullivan, and Nyce's
clean single gave two runs for New Bed
ford Two bases ON balls, Delaney
making first on force, and double by
Weihl sent in three in the second. A
double and a fly to the outfeld allowed
one in the fourth, and single and a
triple in the sixth made the last.
Magoon in the second inning reached
his base on force, stole, and came in on
Terrien's hit. Leighton singled and
Slater made home run in the next. A
three bagger by Leighton, Spills single
and an attempt to put out gave the local

The CARE OF PASTURES.
Difficulties In Natural Manuring-Impor-
tanoe of Supplementary Crops.

Difficulties In Natural Manuring-Impor-
tanoe of supplementary CroPs.
"I have never known Of mans hav-
ing too much pasture in August. There
may be such cases, but to every one such
there are certainly 500 whose animals
would use to advantage more and better
pasture after midsummer. Ibelieve that
! am safe in saying that three-fourths of
the growing animals of the United States
fail to make any gain for a time in the
late summer and fall" " The foregoing
is an extract from letter written by
one of the wide awake farmers Of Illi-
nois to Country Gentleman, and urging
the Importance of green fodder crops to
use when the hot, dry weather dries and
shortens the pastures. On the subject of
natural manuring he says:
None Of our farm animals distribute
their manure over the ground as we'll as
is desirable for the enrichment of the
land. Sheep are the least faulty in this
regard. The hog is not inclined to de-
posit all of each evacuation in mass,
but hogs have an inclination to deposit
their excrement in certain parts of their
pasture, and always more Of the exere-
ment of all animals will be deposited
along their paths through the pasture
than away from those paths. Both the
horse and the OK deposit their manure
in mass, giving one small spot much
more fertilizer than it needs, while the
greater part of the ground gets none.
The grass under the manure is killed.
Far some feet around where the rain
carries the fertilizing matter there is an
excessively rank growth Of grass that
soon gets beyond the taste of the ami
mails and is scarcely touched during the
summer, while beyond this there is
scant growth, as the ground lacks fertil-
ity. The remedy is to harrow the field
with light harrow or to drag over it
heavy brush. / think the latter is pref
cradle, It will pay to harrow or brush
the ground at least once a month dur
ing the summer.
Much OF the manure produced in the
stables and feed lots will be used to the
best advantage if put on the grass lands.
It Is becoming more apparent each year
that manure is used to the best adyan-
tage on some green crop to be turned
under, in whole Or in part, to enrich the
land for grain crop. Certain it is that
manure judiciously applied to grass
land gives very good results. Manure
should not be put on grass land, especial
" during the spring Or summer, unless
it is quite we'll rotted and fined Coarse,
strawy manure may smother the grass
on which it falls, and it is impossible
to properly distribute it over the ground.
Ii one puts manure on the pasture just
before the ground is narrowed or brush
ed, the harrow or brush will fine and
scatter the manure, making the results
better, and of course there is no expense
whatever for this flning and scattering.
Well rotted manure had better be drawn
out on the pasture during the summer
than be allowed to remain in masses
about the stables.
Often isolated punches of weeds will
show themselves in a pasture otherwise
clean. Certainly these weeds should be
cut down, and the earlier this is done
the safer and better.

The Bunch Yam.


A farmer who has given both kinds of
them Gloss observation, having grown
them side by side for four years, writes
as follows to the Kentucky Home and
Farm:
I am ready to say that the bunch yam
is by far the best potato in existence for
Mississippi. Their uniformity as to size
is remarkable, there are no Strings"
among them, but all are regular in shape
and size, they yield much more to the
acre. The vine is short and gives them
decided advantage in working them,
but ! do conscientiously believe that the
vine will eventually bear ont, as the
vine seems to be growing larger each
year. The mnsbserieus objection to them
seems to have arisen from their lack of
keeping as we'll as other varieties.

Experiments In Corn Culture.

For seven years experiments in corn
culture, conducted at the Illinois station
at Urbana, indicate that medium matur-
ing kinds give larger yields than either
the early or late. White varieties have
given larger yields than the yellow, The
largest average yields came from the
plots planted from May 1 / to 1s Plant
ing the karnels one inch deep has given
better results than planting at any other
depth. There seems to have been no diff
ference between planting in hills and
drills, except that hills give chance
for better cultivation. Shallow cultiva-
tion has given better results than deep,
the average yield for five years being
nearly six bushels per acre greater. Root
pruning has always reduced the yield.
Removing the tassels does not pay.

THROUGH A BURNING TREsTLE.
A Freight Train Wrecked on tho
Lyons Branch.

The Central railroad lost about I'D feet
OF trestIe BY IRE yesterday morning. on the
approach to the Ogeechee river. on the
Lyons branch. about two miles west OF
Meldrim.
The fire was not discovered until about
o'clock. when a special freight train OF
twenty-three cars from Lyons for savan-
nah came along. and the engineer being
unable to stop in time went onto the tres
tie The engine ana tender got over all
right, but the trestIe gave way when the
cars got on 1t, and q number Of them fell
down into the fire.
It is not known how the fire started. but
the'only conclusion TO be deduced from the
indications is that il must have been set
on ire by a spark from the engine. There
was nothing whatever to indicate that the
IRE was Of incendiary origin. and officers
Of the road do not attribute it TO that
source
The trestle burned was not very extern
sive, being low and only short length of
II was burned. ii the engine had not gone
upon Il at the time. and the crews put TO
work stopping its progress it might have
bceH more uisdSLrOuS
Five cars Of lumber, however. which fell
through the trestle were entirely destroy
ed, while two others were turned over
The lumber was covered by insurance, as
We're the cars that were also destroyed, but
there was no Insurance on the trestle.
Several officers of the road went up to
take in the situation, and a special con-
struction train with pile driver and force
OF men was sent TO the scene as early as
possible. They were set to york repair
ing the trestle and It is expected that trains
viii be able to pass there this morning
All day, however, passengers were trans
ferred from one side of the burned trestle
to the other, while freight trains could not
pass at all The crew will be kept at work
right along until the road is in passable
condition
