Attic of Building.

Salem, Or, July 2s.-Fire, which
probably origiated from an electric
light wire, buried the woodwor out of
the attic of one OF the central wards of
the state insane asylum yesterday Just
before the noon hour. The fire was
confined to the one ward, and was at
no time in danger of getting beyond the
control OF the fire fighters. The two
fire companies, composed of asylum
employees, aided by the Salem fire de-
partment and by convicts and guards
from the psnitentiary, saved the build
ing. The loss is due chiefly to damage
from water seeping through the floors
and ceilings. Superintendent Cal
breath thinks the damage can be re-
paired for $4,000, though it may cost
IS 600.

Iy fed to dairy COWS. Two rations were
fed carrying practically the same
amount of dry matter. In one ration
over 80 per cent of this dry matter was
derived from sllage, and less than Is
per cent was derived from grain. In
the other ration over 81 per cent OF
the dry matter was derived from grain,
no slIage being fed. The COWS fed the
sllage ration produced 967 pounds Of
milk and sos pounds Of butter fat a
hundred pounds of dry matter. The
cows fed the grain ration produced Sl.S

fat a hundred pounds Of dry matter.
The cost of feed a hundred pounds of
milk was $06S7 with the silage ration
and $1.O5 with the grain ration. The
cost Of feed hundred pounds Of butter

Lime and Salt Keep Eggs.

The water-glass method Is not tne
only one of keeping eggs in fairly good
condition for quite a long period. Some
wears ago the Rhode Island Experiment
Station tested a number of different
methods, and found that salt brine ana
lime water stood second only TO wafer
glass as a preservative. The eggs were
held over a year in the pickle, and all
came out good. The station reported
as follows. The surface of the liquid
was crusted, and considerable SILT hau
settled to the bottom Of the jar. the
shells of the eggs which were sunken
in this silt appeared very fresh. The
exteriors of the shells were clean and
clear. The air cells were not increased
in size. The whites and yolks were
normal in appearance. The whites beat
nm nicely. but had slightly saline
taste. Several used as dropped eggs
appeared to be nice, but had signify
sharp taste. This old-fashioned method
OF preserving eggs is thus again proved
effective.
