Many farmers have undoubtedly OBJ
served that heavy dressings of stable
manure produce these effects. The
cause is that the stable manure is
not well balanced, containing as IL

enough phosphoric acid and potash
III the excess of the nitrogen is Off

Fire at Blakely.

Tho Iilibridges are farmers and
stock men, located on the main road
in Blakcly borough. Their barn was
struck about 740 o'clock and entirely
consumed. The lightning struck, with
a terrific report, which could be heard
for great distance. There were
three horses in the barn. besides the
other stock. and while the blaze was
yet confined tn the upper part of the
barn an attempt was made TO save
the animals. They were found lying
on the ground, either stunned ~ al
ready dead from the shock. All ef-
forts to stir them were frutless and
as the loft was giving way and the
flames covering the sides of the barn,
the attempt was abandoned. The
other animals in the barn We're re-
moved, but "A number of wagons and
farming implements were consumed in
the flames.
Within a hundred feet of the burn
ing structure was a large barn owned
by the same man containing one hun
dred mules and for awhile it was
feared that this, too, was doomed
The Wilson Hose company of Peck
Vile early responded to the alarm OF
fire and seeing that the barn which had
been struck could not he saved, de-
voted itself to preventing spread OF
the blaze.
The company was successful and the
mule barn escaped with slight
scorChing of its ides and roof. The
| total loss is about $4,000.

for II is only individual acceptance of
the universal salvation of Jesus Christ

"For both saint and sinner the water

ercise of will that the gates are opened

life?' is the natural question OF the

sorrow are ofttimes the prices we must
pay TO ultimately obtain these joys of
soul"
