Immediately on receipt Of the

went TO Alton by the train and the
estimates of losses were made up
after discussing each case with two
very well informed gentlemen. Of
course, the fire being still in prog

being little below fever heat, the
estimates are likely to be full high,
but they are made from the best
information obtainable.

Onions for Poultry Food.

There is no vegetable that grows OF
more value to the poultryman than the
onion. says American Poultry Journal.
doubtless it was one of the foods OF the
fowl in its natural state, as it is found
growing wild in several parts OF the
world. In Illinois and Missouri we
have found it, both in the woods and
praries. with sprouts short and crisp
early in the spring, that would lengthen
and tougher as the season advanced, TO
bear small seeding onion or button"
late in the fall. We never tried plant
ing any of the button" onions of the
wild variety, but doubtless if we had
they would have produced the same

onions that the "sets" of the cultivated
sorts do to-day. Be that as it may, the
onion of commerce is a valuable addi-
ton to the list of vegetables that are
considered good for fowls. At this sea-
son Of the year when the fowls are run
down by the heat of the autumn and
the strain Of mOulting, the onion will
be found first-class tonic. Where
there is bowel trouble, with greenish
drOppings, and dysentery, onions cut up

The Milk Can.

At a convention in Minnesota, ]. K.
Bennett said, among other things: "In
the care of cans, they are to be kept
clean and free from rust They should
be washed as soon as possible after
being used. Rinse first with cold wa
ter, then scrub thoroughly with a
brush both inside and outside, using
warm water-almost hot, or better, a
good soap suds, use it often anyhow.
Give particular attention to the seams
and don't forget the outsides. You
know the inside is often judged by the
outside. Finish with scalding water.
Turn your cans upside down long
enough to allow them to drain; then
leave them right side up, or on their
sides in the fresh air, and you will
have clean. sweet cans. 1t is very
common error to leave them over
stake or on board. This is serious
mistake. as invariably the cans will
sonr thereby. The hot air or steam
rises and has no escape, consequently
oondanses in the cans and sours. Much
MILK otherwise well cared for is often
tainted from no other reason. A rusty
oon should not be used, as it imparts
foreign flavor to milk.

there much promise that they will be

stock growers are looking about to find
some line Of work that is not over
done. No one conversant with the sit
uation has any apprehension about the
draft horse business being overdone
now. The only thing that at present
prevents genuine draft horse famine
is the general business depression that
exists throughout the country which
limits the demand. If the demand were
normal, the supply would be wholly
inadequate to it. The breeding of good
draft horses wherever one has mares
suitable for the work, is, therefore, SO
far as it is possible for anyone to peer
into the future, as good an opening as
the live stock grower can find.
