RESERVES FROM SIX STATIONS OR
DERED TO THE SCENE.

The first alarm of the fire in the Tarrant
building was carried to the quarters of En-
gine Company No. 20, at No 160 Chambers-st..
by a who ran from the building few min
utes after noon. Captain Devanny who was
in command rang the gong and in a few sec
onds the fire engine and its tender dashed
around the corner. In few more seconds the
fremen had connected the engine to the hy-
drant under the elevated road close to the
building which was on fire. Devanny and his
men took the line Of hose into the building and
were going up the stairs to the second floor
when the first explosion occurred. The force
of the explosion knocked them downstairs. AS
they were gathering themselves up the second
explosion came and blew them clear out of the
building.
Devanny and several of the men of the COM
pany were hurt. The captain and the engineer
were hurt badly that it was necessary to
send them to the hospital. The engine was half
covered with debris from the falling walls of
the building. The horses, which had been un-
hooked from the engine, ran away, adding some
fright and confusion. Lieutenant Hauck, of the
company. had been ordered to send in third
alarm as soon as Captain Devanny saw what
building was on fire Hauck was sending the
third alarm when the explosions came. He then
sent a fifth alarm, calling all the available fire
companies in the district
After Devanny was sent to the hospital Hauck
took command of the company but the men
could not get near the buried engine. Fire
Chief Croker reached the scene in a few minutes
and took command.

CONSERVATION CROPS.
Growing Peas with Corn, Quite g
Popular Practice in Some Parts,
Not TO BE Recommended.

My first experience in planting peas
with corn was in 1895. About so acres
of corn were planted on very thin
land in rows six feet apart. The
ground was kept as level as possible
and when about half through cultivat-
Ing the corn, the peas were drilled in,
using about one-half bushel of seed
per acre. At the last blowing the
peas had a good start and were per-
haps foot high. This made a most
excellent crop of both seeds and vines.
The same season another field of good
land was planted in corn, the rows be-
ing four and one-half feet apart. At
the last blowing, when the corn was
about shoulder high, peas were sown
by hand between the corn rows. The
peas were so badly shaded by the corn
that they did not amount to much.
Another method was observed by the
writer two years ago. This was plant
ing corn and peas at the same time
and in the same row, following the
corn drill with the pea drill. The re-
suit of this was tfat by the time the
corn was in roasting ear the peas had
almost covered it up and in one field
that | saw, no corn was to be seen,
only the elbows of the stalks where
tie peas had broken the tops over. l
think the proper way to grow peas is
to plant them alone. To get the best
results they should be sown during
the latter part of May, on land pre-
and one-fourth bushels of seed per
acre. They can be harvested the lat
ter part of August and hogs and
calves turned in to pick up the waste,
then the ground is in the best posi-
BILE condition for wheat.-W. A. Cham
bers, in Prairie Farmer.

Horse Troubled with Worms.

A Kentucky horseman has we'll
bred trotting colt that lately appeared
to be troubled with worms. He con-
su.ved an experienced farmer and
horsemar c,bout it, who advised him
to use a little tobacco in his feed He
used the prescribed remedy, and since
then the colt has been passing a con-
siderable number of large, well-deyel-
oped tape worms. The gentleman who
gave the prescription says that he
never before saw horse troubled with
this species Of worm.-Rural World.

The Cultivation OF Flax.

l have raised fax for the last Is
years and l find the following to be
the best method: First, new ground
is better than old, and prairie is pre-
ferred. Old pastures are very good,
too. After prairie sod is broken up
it is best to run over it once or twice
with disc. Then sow your seed
while it is dry. Never SOW your seed
when the ground is wet as it will get
covered better when the ground is
dry. The rains will come and drive
the seed into the soil. 1t is well to
harrow lightly after sowing. You
can SOW on the prairie from the 1st
of April to the 1st of June and get a
good crop. Cut as soon as ripe, and
let it lie for two or three days if it
is dry. Then stack.-W. S. Young, in
Farmers Review.

DR.. Miller says a beekeeper should
be provided with about 100 sections
for each colony. He may not have
use for so many, but in a good season,
when they may fill rs sections or
more, there would need to be some ex-
ira, which will only be partially filed.
Many a pound of honey is lost, he
says, because supplies were not OBJ
tanned in time or in sufficient guam
tity. A pound of thin foundation is
about enough to fill 100 sections with
the full sheets, which he considers
better economy than to use only
starters, and as it costs but so to 60
cents pound, the difference between
the full sheet and the narrow starter
is but a small item.-National Stock

1t is claimed that pasture land that
is run down will be improved if a
crop of corn is grown upon the field,
but the beneficial effects from the
corn are no doubt more apparent
than real. All poor soils that are al
lowed to remain uncultivated until
some kind of volunteer crop Gt only
weeds) take possession will gain in
fertility to certain extent. Such n
system is known as "fallowing," or
resting the soil. Growing a crop OF
corn simply induces cultivation and
puts the soil in better condition, al
though the land will have already
been improved by the following.
