For years he was crippled by rheu-
matism and some time ago had his
right hand amputated to overcome the
ravages of cancer. He finally succumb-
ed to tuberculosis of the lungs, follow

diet. and before the addition of for
maldehyde to the milk was discovered

FIRE ON RECEIVING SHIP
Flames in Coal Bunker Threatened
the Hancock.

the Hancock.
New York, Oct. 1S.-Fire was de-
tected on the United States receiving
ship Hancock at the New York navy
yard. It is not known how long the
fire in the Hancock had been burning
when discovered, but judging by the
progress it had made it must have been
several hours. A fireman had occasion
to open a watertight compartment
compartment leading to a coal bunker
when he found that the place was filled
with smoke In spite of the utmost
exertions, it was several hours before
the seat of the flames could be reached
Meantime, the smoke invaded every
part of the ship, and at one time it was
almost overpOwering in the officers
dining room. By shifting large quanti-
ties of coal from the bunkers, the fire
men got to the seat of the trouble, and
after hard work the fire was completely
put out.
The Hancock is the most important
receiving ship in the navy, usually hay-
ing a thousand sailors and newly en-
listed men aboard waiting for assign
ment. The cause of the flames is
shrouded in mystery.

EnrIn Notes.

Keep all young animals growing and
gaining.
Avoid working horses in the rain as
much as possible.
Ground feed is better than whole
grain for growing colts.
Sweet food for hogs is better than
that which Is fermented and soured.
All rubbish and prunings from the
garden aud orchard should be burned
A failing appetite is generally the
first indication of an animal being
out of condition.
Coal ashes, as well as wood ashes,
should be saved and applied on wet,
heavy soils,
Convenences for watering and feed
ing stock are items In saving time,
labor and feed on the farm.
Corn and oats, half of each. ground
together. make one of the best kinds
of feed for cows in milk.
The best way to get rid of the cur
rant worm Is TO dust the leaves with
white hellebore.
In nearly all cases, the best animals
are the offspring Of mature parents on
both sides.
BE ready to cut clover when the
largest number Of plants are in bloom
and are turning brown
1t should be the aim Of every breed
or Of horses TO raise wcl-bred and
well-trained animals
