BIG FIRE At GRIDLEY, ILL.
Two Entire Squares Burned over.
With Losses that Aggregate
Eighty ThOusand Dollars.

Gridley, ILL.,, May 1.-Two entire
business blocks facing Center street
were burned yesterday afternoon.
causing Il less very conservatively es-
timated at $4,000. Mrs. H. Cohn, wife
of a clothing merchant, started to
burn n pile of rubbish at 1850 o'clock
She lighted it and went away. The
fire spread to the butcher shop owned
by William Settle, a brisk south wind
carried it across Center street to the
new Commercial hotel, n from
there it jumped to- the new Gridley
state bank.
BY this time it was seen that the
whole town was in danger, and a call
for aid was sent to Peoria, which re-
pended with a steamer and a hose
cart. Before their arrival the fire had
DESTROYED two blocks of buildings and
had practically burned itself out.
Among the heaviest losers are Nc

YOUNG DAIRY Ma-HEK3.
why They Should Rc Carefully
Nursed and Petted and Fed Up to
Their Full Capacity.

The practice on the Brown Bessie
farm is to have heifers drop the hrst
calf at about two years of age, says
ii. C. TAYLOR, in Rural New Yorker. L
the heifer is well grown and indicates
early maturity, a month, or even TWO
months, earlier would do no harm. A
Jersey or Guernsey comes to maturity
earlier than the beef breeds do, ana
should be bred nearly a year younger.
1t is certainly much better for the
dairy breed heifer to begin her lie
work as soon as the age OF two years.
If she is well grown as she should be
at two years, she is all right to begin
business. If allowed to go another
year, she will be liable to become quite
fat, and her dairy tendencies will be
diverted toward the production OF
beef. am of the opinion tina a he1fer
will develop into a better COW at ma
turity by coming to the pail at two
years of age. If a heifer should be two
years old any time from December 10
to January so, and vas well grown, L
would breed her to freshen the early
part of November previously. This In
Wisconsin would bring her to milk be-
fore very cold weather, and she would
do much better than to freshen in WIN
ter weather. Again, if she was to be
two years old in February or March, L
would carry her over until the warm
weather of spring, which would bring
her to &c months old. The very best
time for the Eeifer to do justice to her
self is to bring forth her first calf from
May Is to July /. The very hot wealth
er from July Is to September Is is a
very undesira BILE season for a heifer to
freshen. Hot weather n flies, many
times short pasture, and always a very
busy time with ether farm work, cause
the young mother to be neglected. L
am pleased with results we have OBJ
tanned from feeding heifers a good al
lowance of oats and bran for two
months before dropping their first
calves. 1 believe this is a wise prac-
tice and will result in no harm. The
time of year She freshens is not so inn
portant, after all, as the kind of treat
ment, care and nursing she re-
ceives at the hands of the owner for a
few weeks after she freshens. This is
really the time wien all the skill and
! judgment of a Fainstaking and wise
dairyman shoulG be brought into use
and the young mother carefully
nursed and petted and fed up to hel
full capacity of assimilating.

TREMENDOUS RAINFALL.
N Great American Desert, Where
Rain In Almost Unknown.
Thoroughly DPenched.

Salt Lake City, Utah, May For
over thirty-six hours almost the en-
tire Rocky mountain and inter-moun.
tain regions have been soaked by a
rainfall that in many places has gone
far beyond all recorded storms. The
miles of wastes forming the deserts of
Utah, southern Nevada and northern
Arizona and New Mexico have received
a drerching the like of which has new
er been known. Places that have bee
dried up for years are filled with wa
ter, streams that have almost entire
ly dried up in the past years of
drought are now raging torrents, and
tow-lying farm and grazing lands are
covered with water. In districts
where irrigation has been the only
means OF bringing moisture to the
fields, the serious problem now IS how
to keep the water out, and reports OF
broken ditch embankments and Hood
ed farm lands are numerous.
In Salt Lake the precipitation
amounts to nearly three and one-half
inches, and for entire blocks in the
low-lying southern and western por-
tions of the city are flooded. No seri-
Gus damage is expected to result,
however. The storm, it is believed,
will result in almost incalcuable cene-
fit to the entire region affected.

preparation for a bed the fresh
nanur and long litter are collected
from stables and drawn together to
the location of the bed, where it is
placed in a conical pile. As the

down by treading on it, the treadlng
being repeated as the bed is raised a
few inches at a time, until the pile is
finished off to a point at the top.
After a few days it may be noticed
hat the pile is heating by seeing
steam rise from it. 1t is then custom
airy to handle over the manure, shak-
ing it out and again making 1t into a
pile and tramping it down as before.
In two or three days the signs of heat
ing will again be evident, and 1T is then
ready to be made into a bed. The bed
should be made large enough to eX-
tend at least a foot outside of the
frame at the sides and ends. In throw
ing the manure into shape as the pile
rises in height every few inches 1T
should be beaten down with the back
of the fork so that the material will
be of uniform density. The bed should
be two feet or two and one-half feet In
depth. The deeper it is the steadier
and longer continued will be the heat.
Win the bed is finished evenly on

The bed is now ready for use, and
seed sowing in it can commence. In
the management of a hotbed constant
reference must be made to a shaded
thermometer kept inside, and air
must be given sufficiently to keep the
temperature down to about 20 degrees.

MAKING A HOTBED.

The making of hotbeds is a matter
SO commonly understood as perhaps
scarcely to require going INTO at this
time, yet the following from NIck,
dealing as it does principally with the
roper heating of the beds, may not
come amiss to those interested in
starting cabbage, celery, lettuce, etc.,
in early spring:
The ordinary hotbed consists OF a
pile of fermenting stable COW
cred with a frame and glazed sashes, IN
which is a layer of fertile soil. The
bed should be located where it will be
easy of access. but it should be on dry
ground and not where water could flow
over the ground and about its base,
even in wet weather. 1t should also

Summer Feeding from si1o.

I have found corn sllage very help
full in carrying the dairy COW through
a droughty July and August. Many
dairymen grow corn for this pur-
pose, cutting and feeding daily from
the field. After three years expert
ence with the silo for summer feed
ing, I must say that I prefer to grow
corn a year ahead, harvest it all in n
day, then when the busy harvest sea-
son is upon us we do not nave to spend
one to two hours a day cutting and
hauling from the field, but can feed
our dairy in ten minutes from the
silo. Results in milk yields have been
quite satisfactory. The June flush
cannot of course be maintained but
I have found silage with a little grain
much better than a larger amount
of grain alone. Milk yields are not
only better, but more cash is kept on
the farm.-C. G. Williams, in Farm and

two and three year trees. In setting

to accommodate all the roots, throw
in enough well p~ulverized soil to
cover the roots we'll, and hen pour
in about one-half gallon of water to
settle the dirt firmly around the
roots ard exclude all the air, hen

Proper Time for Spraying.

Prof. Stinson says the time to
spray depends largely upon the sea-
son. The fungus attacks h fruit
soon after it is formed, and h mix

should be applied early. An applica-
ton given just before the trees bios
som is important, and the second
soon after the blossoms fall, not
later than a week. The third may be
applied from IL to 20 days after,
owing to the weather. If consider
able rain falls after the second spray
