injunction papers upon Mr.. Heinze, the
latter slapped the officer and threw
the papers at him, and then attempted

WORLDS FAIR BUILDING BURNS.
Missouri Loses Handsome Structure
and Exhibits.

st. Louis.-The Missouri state build
ing was destroyed by fire Saturday
night, resulting from the explosion OF
a hot water heater in the basement.
Instantly the flames shot up through
the rotunda and the north wing and
cupola were a solid mass of flames
within 10 minutes after the explosion.
The principal loss is in the contents
of the building. The building cost
$145,OOO, and in the building were $751;
900 worth of furnishings, the most val
liable of which were portraits OF for
mer Missouri governors and supreme
judges. These can not be. replaced.
M. T. Davis, president of the worlds
fair commission, was in the building
when the explosion occurred. He said:
"The building as it stood, with all
the furnishings, cost in the neighbor-
hood of $225,OOO. There was not a
dollar of insurance. II we had endeav-
ored to sell the building we could prob
ably have realized more than $4,000"
Mrs. Belle Hall Small of Sedalia,
Mo-, one of the state hOstesses, rushed
into her apartments in the building to

Shocking Corn,

Shocking Corn.
One Of the great objections farmers
have to harvesting corn fodder Is that
the grain is seriously damaged by the
operation. In fact, they say oftentimes
1t will not germinate, and 10 always
more or less chaffy, light in weight,
and otherwise not equal to corn per-
mitted to remain in the field, or until
after several frosts. A casual exam
ination of the way the shocks are
made on many farms would convince
one that complaints made about get
ting an inferior grain might be expect
ed, for the shock will not turn water,
will not let water that happens to get
in to the shock out quickly, and Is, in
tact, so much on the ground that 1t Is
practically wet all the time. It is not
der and corn as to have a fine forage
from the fodder and still secure the
grain that Is in every way equal to
standing grain.
The corn crop is often cut too green.
Frequently the stalk becomes brown,
the blades turning yellow and the ear
still soft and full of sap. In such in
stances the cutting should be slow,
putting up quarter and half shocks
over the entire area, giving the inside
center Of the shock an opportunity to
dry, then later finish the shock. Where
the corn binder Is used the harvesting
should be such as to save the fodder
with as little damage to the corn 40
possible. This requires Judgment.
Then in shocking set four bundles in
the four corners made by the horse,
tie them tightly near the top, remove
horse and place a bundle on each Of
| the four sides in the center This
leaves a corner between the four bum
dies SO located that 1t may be made
to contain two bundles each. When
the center bundles are placed around
the first four eight bundles are up and
the shock is one-half finished. Fill

dies. The shock is small, well bal

apart at the bottom, permitting good
ventilation. The binder cuts such q
low. stub that the ear in the shock Is
high from the ground. In cutting by
| hand the careless shocker usually cuts
high stubs, then he throws the fodder
together. The high cutting causes the
ear on the stalk to be near the ground
or more probably on the ground, caus-
ing serious damage to the grain. Corn
