A DESTRUCTIVE PRAIRIE FIRE.

A destructive priaire fire swep pit
over considerable territory west and
southwest Of the city Sunday. The
fire stated farm a burning straw
stack on a farm about a mile south
of Robt. Lyugbye's, about nine
miles from the city. The fire covered
a strip anywhere from 10 rods wide
in places to over "A mile wide. The
straw stack was set on fire, accord.
ing to reports, either Friday or Sat.
urday by the man working for Geo.
Saba. At the time the straw was
fired the grass and stubble was so
wet that it vas supposed a fire could
not run on the prairie, but the wind
dried the grass before the straw
burned, which gave the fire a chance
to spread. On Sunday the fire
started across the country, burning
north and then northeast to the rail.
road track. SO far as we have heard
no buildings were consumed or dam
aged, but a large quantity of hay
went up in smoke. The loss is var
iously estimated at from d few humid
red to two thousand tons. The loss
of hay to the stock man is about the
most serious loss that could occur.
1t is not so much the money loss at
the market value, but it always
causes great Inconvenience, and
generally the loss Of hay forces the
owner to dispose Of a part or all of
his stock. as he is unable to carry the
herd through the winter. Thus the
loss Is always greater than appears
on the surface. Nearly every year
portions of the south or west part Of
the county experience such a disaster.
Later-Mr. Saba says that the fire
was not set by a hired man. On
Friday Mr.. Saba set fire to a small
straw stack. At that time the stub
BILE was wet and there was no danger
of the fire spreading. Saturday Mr..
S. went out to look at the straw
stack and found it entirely consum.
ed. There was no fire Jeff, not even
enough to make a smoke. Saba
then went to a farm he has rented
south of Lake Preston aud had no
knowledge OF the prairie fire until he
returned Tuesday.

SIMILAR TO HOG CHOLERA.

The farmers of Beadle county are
suffering some loss and are quite
seriously alarmed over a disease APP
pearing among the swine herds of
that county. The Herald Demo
crat says:
some complaint is made of a disease
not unlike cholera, that is proving fatal
to hogs in Beadle county. A large num-
Der of farmers have suffered loss, and
although various remedies have been APP
piled, the disease remains unchecked.
The disease is not hog cholera, although
it attacks swine with almost equal fatal
ity TO this old hog courage. The United
States department of agriculture has
just issued Bulletin No. - entitled Hog
Cholera and Swine Plague" which can
be secured for the asking, The bulletin
treats of the diseases of hogs, prescribes
remedies aud describes the disease with
accuracy. 1t is a very useful bulletin
and farmers should write the department.
and secure one of these bulletins before
the supply is exhausted.
