position at Chicago, October 8 to 8,

hibited of the leading pure bred va.

Champion White Pearl, and many
Others to be named later There will
also be special prizes for the women
who may exhibit any variety of either
the yellow or white classes of corn
and special prizes for the best ten
ears of the yellow white, and red

encourage the improvement and
growth of corn in the sections where
the Dent corn is not extensively

and girls, prizes for the different
localities state prizes. and number
of other special prizes. IL you grow
any exceptionally fine corn this ysap

The lazy hen, it has been said,
bears the same relation to the hem
merry that the lazy man does in the
community. The only difference is
that the former does make good pot
pie. while the lazy man is good for
nothing.

Oats cut in the milk and cured as
hay makes the finest kind of hay. One
farmer says that last season his hay
crop being short he cut three acres
of oats for hay and found that the
stock ate it more greedily than any
other hay, and that 1t proved excep-
tionally good for his milch cows.

STARTLING FIGURES COMPILED
RYsNEW YORK JOURNAL OF h
COMMERCE.

Figures compiled by the New York
Journal Of Commerce show that dur.
Ing the month Of April the fire loss in
the United States and Canada amount.
ed to total Of s21,925.9OO. This was
an extraordinarily heavy amount, be.
Ing some sl0.0000O0 more than for
April, 1905. No fair comparison can
lie made with 1906. because the San
Francisco fire occurred during that
month.
During April this year, there were
3I5 fires where the loss reached or
exceeded $4,000 In each instance. The
fires for all four Of the months which
have passed this year show very
heavy gain over the fires for 1905 and
1906 Outside Of April.)
To meet this growing loss Of prop.
erty the movement toward iireprooi
construction in this country Is con
SANITY growing stronger. The Under.
writer's laboratories, recently finished
In Chicago, have been built as a mod
el for Areproof construction. Tests
Of all kinds are being continually car
ried on there with view TO ascertain
Ing what is most completely fire
proof.
The newest buildings to be con-
stracted in New York City also EN-
body the latest developments In fire,
proo0ng. and show what can be done
both in quick and safe construction,
The New United States Express Com
pany Building, for example. in addi'
ton 10 the steel structure and hollow
tile floors and partitions. replaces all
the woodwork by steel and noncom'
+, bustible metarlals.
! This movement Is extending to the
erection OF smaller houses. which II
/ has been found can be constructed Of
flreproof materials at very little more
expense than Of lntlammable stuffs.
