A Christmas Eve Blaze.

Last Friday night, about l0:3O, an
alarm of fire called out the fire de-
partment, and it was found that the
store OF Manning & Co. was on fire.
The hremen soon reached the scene of
the conflagration and had all their
hose on the ground ready for action,
but owing to some difficulty in sccur-
ing pressure, and the fact that the
hose contained several leaks, they
we're somewhat retarded in their pro-
gress. The firemen however soon
had steady stream Of water playing
on the flames, and by hard work kept
the fire within bounds. 1t was a hard
fire to fight, as the fire originated in
the attic, where it was impossible to
get at 1t in order to check it. The
building was in the main saved, but
the interior was Quilted to such an ex-
tent that it will require considerable
expense to again put it in proper
shape. The cause of the fire is sup
posed to have been from defective
chimney.
Manning & Co. carried an insur-
ance Of $1,000 on the building, inc]ud-
ing fixtures. and S65OO on the stock
At this writing Mr.. Manning informs
us that he is unable to say definitely
what plans the firm will take in re-
building. 1t is hoped by the TRIBUNE
that a substantial brick structure will
soon take the place of the old land
mark, as the business of this enter
prising firm really demands better
quarters.

"Crimson clover on fertile soil makes

zone of the best plans for hay and
winter pasture on poor uplands is to
sow fescue grass and cow peas. The
feScue will come up in the fall and
grow for grazing during winter and re.
seed in early spring. Cow peas NAV
then be planted and they will come off
in time for the fescue to grow again
during the succeeding winter. This
process can be continued as long as de-
sired. The pea roots fertilize the
fescue, This combination furnishes
abundant rich cow pea hay and excel
lent grazing In the winter and spring.
The only objection to this plan is that
the fesCue may not, on account of soil
or season, begin much growth until
late In winter or early spring"

Testing Seed Corn.

The Director Of the Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station says that corn for
seed may be tested In earth, in pan
or other vessel, in the house. If kept
warm and moist, not wet, this method
tells what proportion Of the kernels
will grow under favorable conditions,
but does not indicate the amount of
unfaVOrable weather the seed will
stand. To test the vitality of the seed,
the vessel of soil should be kept at such
low temperature that most of the
corn will not sprOut for nearly ten
days. If it will then grow, it is not
only alive but full of vitality. Other
devices may be arranged. A pan, as a
pie tin, turned upside down on the
bottom Of larger vessel, and over this
some cloths spread, makes a good de.
vice. One cloth should first be spread
over the upturned pie tin and the seeds
laid on this. The seeds should then be
covered with one or more thicknesases
of cloth. Both or all of the cloths
should hang down to the bottom of the
outer vessel, which should be filed
with water to point half an inch or
more below the seeds. The cloth, act
ing as a lsmpwick, keeps the seeds
moist. A person accustomed to test
ing seed corn can determine whether a
given sample comes with strong or
weak vitality, and whether or not it
would lay long in the soil before rot.
ting If this matter has been neglected
in the past, determine now to test the
seed In time this year.

About Permanent Grass Lands.

Professor Bennett of the Arkansas
Experiment Station says: "In making
temporary pasture for only one or
two years, the clOvers should be used.
1t is not profitable to sow grasses for
pasture unless the pasture is to remain
for greater period than two years.
The poorer soil of the farm, especially
where land is abundant, is no doubt
the best to be put in pasture, but it
must be remembered that poor, barren
soils will not make good grass pas
lures, though pastures, whether grass
or clover, can be made on poorer soils
than meadows can. If the soil be too
poor to bring grasses for permanent
pasture it can be quickly improved by
sowing Japan clover and grazing it for
two or three years, then plant and turn
under crop of cow peas and sow the
grasses and clovers that are to form
the pasture mixture. Japan clover
need not pTecede the cow peas if the
soil Is not very poor.
can permanent pastures should be
sown with mixed grasses for the reason
that mixed grasses ripen at different
seasons and grazing will be furnished
throughoutthey Hungarian bronze
grass, tall meadow ost grass, tall fes-
cue, orchard grass and red clover form
q good mixture that ripens at different
dates. If the soil is not fertile, tall
fescue and red clover will not succeed
and should not be planted. Bermuda
grass is the best summer grass for this
soil, but there is no other plant that As

grazing In winter and early spring.
But clover is said to do it successfully.

HOW MIlk is Affected BY Eood.

Answering a correspondent who in
quires about the effect of food on milk,
the editor OF the LiUe Stock Indicator
says the changes In the composition Of
milk are not to be explained in all
cases, for they often occur without any
cause that can be positively assigned;
very often they happen with no change
In the feed. Still it is not the
fact that the fat percentage always de-
creasss with turning on pasture; some
times it falls and sometimes it rises.
In the Minnesota herd record for 1893
will be found an instance of this, The
cows we're turned on pasture May AZ.

twenty-five cows was greater In April

Alfalfa and Sheep.

A Colorado correspondent of the
Breeders Gazette comments on the
alfslfa-sheep question as follows:
About three years ago lost seven
ewes running in a large field in the
space Of one hour. They were worth
800 head. The alfalfa was cut down
close with a butcher knife and only
filled bran sack. Since that time,
however, l have seen sheep psstured
on alfalfa in this neighborhood with
out much loss where they had access
to water sll the time, such as a ditch
running through the center of mar
row field, am going to try pssturing
some this year, but shall use some low
priced sheep-not my Shropshires.
~ had an experience with a eve
that blosted repeatedly lately. She
was an obstinate case, and though l
had cured her repeatedly with colchi-
cum had fully made up my mind that
she would balk me some time soon. 1t
is my custom to keep lime in my tanks
and water troughs, but had run out
and did not get any until about ten
days ago, since which time she has not
bloated nor have noticed any of the
other sheep unduly full
81 may mention method I adopted
in sowing alfalfa for seed which
think in many respects an advantage
for pasture. leave two drills of an
ordinary grain drill open and then
stop the others for two and a half feet.
This allows the sun to reach the plant
and the plant to bush out and spread
and to ripen thoroughly its seed. BY
this method you can water when you
think necessary without danger of
starting fresh growth from the bot
tom or having the plant lodge. l
turned q field of this kind into q hog
pasture last year and the hogs walked
mostly between the rows when graz.
Ing. was able to cut it three times
with moving machine, as they could
not keep 1t down. | stacked it in the
field and let them run to the stack. /
have never pastured a field OF this kind
with horses, but have noticed that they
do fairly well on thin stand and very
badly on a first.class one. This seems
reasonable enough, as in really thick
stand the moisture is SO excessive"
