DIED TRYING TO SAVE OTHERS
Tragedy in FarIy Morning Fire at
 Louisville

Louisville. Ky. July 27.-In a fire which early this morning destroyed the property of the Bagley-Graham Photographic Supply Company, Max Belovitch. a cigar maker and Police man James Pruden were burned 70 death in an effort to rescue two chil l. ren who occupied rooms above the store
 Shortly before midnight terrific explosion awakened everybody in the neighborhood, and among the first to reach the street in front of the build ing on Jefferson street near Fourth, and adjoining the offices of the Asso- ciated Press, was Max Belovitch a cigar maker living across the street. Hardly had the first explosion died away before he had dashed up the stairs in answer to a woman's screams.
 About the time he reached the sec ond floor. he must have fallen for when picked up only a few moments afterward his right side was burned to a crisp. Police Officer James Pru- den was found on the third floor suf- located. and seven fremen were taken from the ruins. Some Of them will probably die.
 At 1 o'clock it is rumored that six or seven persons lost their lives in the buildiug but this cannot he verified at this hour. Several are reported missing. and may be in the ruins. The fire spread with such rapiditv that even the fire fighters were non-plussed When the first crash came there was nothing but smoke, but in a moment afterward the place was a veritable furnace from floor to roof. The loss Is about $50.000.

Hard headed farmers will enjoy the cognitions of Aaron Cove on the mixed conditions of things in general, just as we'll as any class of men. MT Cove declares that half tho world seems to have found uncongenial oc- equations. Servant girls are trying to teach: natural teachers are tending store; good farmers are murdering law. while Choates and WebsteTs are running down good farms: and good farmers in turn. are farming still in Congress.

Moth Trap, Again

s. A Hoover. professor of practical agriculture at the Missouri State Nor mai. in his latest bulletin upon the codling moth says:
 Tt ls a very easy matter to rear this pest from tho 'wormy appIea found on and under the trees in June and July. The apples may be placed in fruit jars or other glass vessels. wher the worm passes Into the pupa state. In short time it emerges as a perfect inset If the moth ls taken from a Jar at night and placed in room where there Is a lighted lamp. It at once goes to the light and cir cles about until 1t falls exhausted. When rested it repeats the expert. ment
 Some people have the impression that the codllng moth IS not attracted 10 the light at night From repeated experiments know this view of the matter Is not correct Even when confined in glass vessel it makes great efforts to reach the light.
 "A curious thing about the larya of the codling moth Is that If placed in an empty bottle which is corked. 1t invariably bores into the cork. where 1t spins it's cocoon. When several oi them are placed in the same bottle, all of them will be found after a few hours in the cork. Some of them will bore clear through and throw some oi tn chips on the outside.
 This is at variance from the cX- perience of one of our most obserYant local entomologists. His observations have been published. It is indeed q new idea to hold that the codling moth will bore through cork to es' cape immisonment.-Los Angeles Times.

How Farmers Lose Money

Commenting on the work done by the New Jersey experiment station, which stands first in the country as an authority on fertilizers, the San
 Francisco Chronicle notes the con- stantly experimenting Tn this direction, and its investigations have greatly added to the definite knowledge oi chi, subject. It has recently been ,n- deayoring to approximately Tx the money value of the loss Of farmyard manures by exposure. Of course. this loss greatly varies. according 10 the kin. of exposure. a combination Of heat and heavy rains being far more serious than cool, dry weather On one lot that was exposed for l3l days, the loss Of nitrogen was iG per cent, of phosphoric acid 72 per cent. and of potash So per cent. In this only solid manure was exposed. Solid and liquid manure exposed for the same length of time lost U per cent. of it's nitrogen, @ per cent. of it's phos- phoric acid. and 2Der cent. of its potash The average loss in four lots exposed fifty. seventy-six seventy and l3l days. respectively, was 5l per cent. CT its nitrogen, 5ll per cent. Of its rhosphoric acid. and 6l.1 per cent lost over half it's fertilizing value, besides losing nearly half it's organic matter, which makes humus This was ma nure unmixed with litter. As to the money loss. the station concludes that if the loss in farm manure by expos ure was made good by the use cf fer tilizers at current rates in New Jer- sey. 1t would be equivalent to 9 cents per hundred of the milk of 5000 pound COW. The moral of this is either to protect the manure from the elements or to haul il out and blow 1t under as fast as made,
