FIVE BUILDINGS GO DOWN

Topeka. Kas.. Oct. 2S.-Two persons were
injured and twenty more were more or

IT is supposed that the gas escaped from
leaking main somewhere in the block
and that after a sufficient quantity had
accumulated il became ignited, causing
the explosion. The buildings were in a
row on East Eighth street, and were oc-
cupicd by real estate office, three stores
and restaurant The second floors of all
the buildings wire occupied by roOmIng
houses.

Neither Ross nor Mrs MCDANIEL was
killed outright by the explosion, but both
were frightfully injured and died shortly
afterward at a hospital Brick and glass
struck the negro and Mrs Mcdaniel was
crushed by falling debris. The entire
block of five buildings was leveled to the
ground and only broken brick, scattered
lumber and twisted iron remain The
buildings and stocks in them are a total

Theory of Explosion.
Since the explosion. oil men at Cofsey-
VILE have questioned the theory that t
was caused by escaping gas. They are all
of the opinion that ii was a nitro glycer-
inc explosion, and the firemen who
smelled dynamite. So far as can be
learned neither nitro-glycerine nor dyna-
mite was handled by any occupant of the
buildings
The search of the ruins is still being
made tonight in the hope of finding the
little Chosen boy. who was in the grocery
store with his father when the explosion
occurred, and who has not been heard Of
since
There were many miraculous escapes
and ii is regarded as wonderful that at
least twenty people were not killed. The
explosion was heard five miles away.
This is the third explosion OF the kind
in the history OF the city.

W'interine Calves.

Some time ago an expert in the rails
ing of beef cattle, being called on to
give advice on the rearing of calves,
said that you must handle them from
the time they are dropped until they
are marketed so that they have a
good time. He meant. of course that
they should be fed and cared for in
such way that they would at all
times 1e healthy and sufficiently sup
piled with food to keep them in what
might be called round condition Of
flesh.
A beef calf six or seven months old
II properly raised until that time, may
be kept thru the first winter in fairly
high condition of flesh without extrav-
agant feeding. Corn stalks are not
enough, though the stalk field may be
used during the day time. A COM
Portable she'd at night, with mixture
Of grain composed of corn and oats or
corn and bran, will in all probability
put on pound and a half or two
pounds each day. especially if this is
combined with a good feed of clover
hay night and morning.
Salt boxes should always be at hand
and plenty of water available all the
time. If one has tank heater, so
much the better, because during very
cold weather young cattle especially
will do better when the chill is taken
off their drinking water.
The thing we would like to specially
emphasize is the Importance of giving
two or three pounds of grain night and
during the winter months.
There is no question but what the right
kind of calf will make such use of
this grain as to double it's value.

Care and Feed for HOGS.

| Save the ratings from clover hay.
! Mix 1t in the hog swll literally, as
| hogs that are penned up need rough
age to even up their otherwise UNI
balanced ration. An allowance of
! roots should always be given. Cotton
I seed meal is not q good ration for pigs,
bran middlinigs and a little oil meal
give better results. Skim milk is the
farmers best food; when fed with
grains it produces pork of good quality.
| 1t is better to give the hog consider
able exercise, if a firm lean meat is
desired. Pigs narrowed in September
will take on tlesh as fast in winter as
in summer with the same quantity Of
food, provided they have dry, warm
bed With plenty of dry straw to lie
in when COLL 1t is better not to
allow them to lie in manure pile or
around the strawstack. Allow them
to run out for exercise at their own
will and give them milk and middlings
as a part of their ration. Hog growers
should remember that hogs are the
farm scavenger. and to be successful
breeder one must rely upon this char
acterfstic of the animal To prevent
disease, keep them under shelter dur
ing bad weather, give plenty of good
water. handle them carefully, and keep
their pens and troughs clean, as the
health of the animal and the quantity
of meat he produces increases in pro-
portion TO cleanliness of the food and
surroundings. 1t Is better to kill
few of the young pigs at birth than to
allow the sow to suckle too makly, as
lack of milk and the effects of cold
weather cause the weaker ones to die.

Keen Them Senarate.

In caring for hogs it is the easiest
way to have them all together In one
yard. Then you, have no fences to climb
over and no odd lot TO carry corn or
drink to. However, in hog raising, as in
many other things. the easiest way is
not always the best Keeping all the
hogs, big, little and the average size
together is certainly not the best way
arN more than it would be best to have
the children of all ages in the same
class at school In the first place, we
have found that the brood sows had
better be by themselves and have had
our best luck by keeping them so. In
the second place, there never was
bunch Of twenty or more pigs so even
that there We're not certain small ones
that needed to be by themselves. BY
nature, the same as with people. some
pigs are faster eaters than others, con-
sequently they get more than their
share. The slower eaters must be by
themselves to get their share

John cowNIE's WISE SUGGESTION.

A Board of Control bulletin lately
issued contains an excellent article b,
Hon. John Cownie on our industrial
schools. He insists that in addition
to common school education, nc
homeless boy or girl should be allowed
to leave the institution until they have
mastered good trade or at least have
been taught to do something whereby
honest living. Il have often been ask
ed by boys about to leave our indus
trial school to find them employment
says Mr.. Cownie, land on inquiry as to
what they were fitted for the answer
would be, We'll, / have worked in the
laundry or in the bakery, the tailor
shop, the kitchen, the shoe shop, or on
the farm or perhaps it would be, I
have been playing in the band But,
while such work is essential in the
institution, unfortunately it is often
difficult to find employment for boy
at any of these occupations, especially
as conditions on the outside are en-
tirely different from what they are in
the institution"
Mr.. Cownie would cut out the obso-
industrial schools and substitute 9TH
ers wherein ordinary experiences offers
a secure livelihood. He sees small
sense in teaching shoemaking. He
would teach bricklaying, plasterng,
plumbing, steamfitting, steam and cleo
trical engineering and insist on thor
ough understanding and practical
ability in some one of these before
the pupil was discharged or gradual
ed as Mr.. Cownie prefers to put it.
This is the practical. hard, Dutch
common sense that has made John
Cownie prominent in the state. Why
should the state of Iowa make cob
bier, snatching precarious living from
a decadent trade, when it may send out
a bricklayer worth from 81 to Sc day,
cents an hour, or an electrical engi-
neer, whose possibilities are limited
only by his capacity? The instruction
at the industrial schools should center
on one necessity-the ability of the
inmates to earn good living when
sent out into the world. That ability
is the surest defence against tempta-
ton toward criminal life. The willing
or enforced idler drifts into wrong do
ing as the sparks fly upward. Men

Iowa and Congress.


Iowa is essentially live stock

is the production of horses, cattle, hogs

interest of the Hawkeye state to MAIN

Iowa has been sending talented CO.
