fifty feet from the barn. The gap
jumped by the fire gives an idea that
wind must have been blowing at good
gale. At Oakes it was quite calm in
the afternoon.
The buildings that were burned on
Main street have been nothing short
of a fire trap for many years. It has
often been spoken of that if fire caught
in any of the buildings it would likely
take the main part of the city. The
wind was most favorable this time or
we doubt if business block of the
Main street would have been standing
today.

Rose, located on the extreme north
west corner of that block was saved.
The Aberdeen fire department was
summoned to assist in quenching the
fire, and five members of that depart
ment, with about twenty citizens hur-
ried to the scene at about three o'clock
on special train provided by the Mil
waukee railroad. The Aberdeen boys
brought along 1000 feet of hose, but
owing to the low pressure of the water
they were not able to render rs effec-
tive service.
Mr.. Lowell says he does not under
stand how the fire originated. He and
another man was in front Of the
building hitching up team to 60 into
the country, when noise from one of
the horses in the back end of the barn
attracted their attention. On investi-
cation it was found that the rear of
the barn was on fire and the horses
had already become suffocated from
the smoke. The horses could not be
saved and four of them belonging to
the barn burned to death, as well as
fine team of horses owned by Ed.
Hafey, a farmer. The latter team
had recently been purchased for $3.50.
The firemen and all the citizens of
the town fought like demons. 1t must
have required desperate efforts to
save the building of Mrs. F. F..
Bergendahl and the adjoining frame
buildings belonging to Arthur Wilson
and Gus. Geschke. The only brick
building in the block is next to Geschke,
that of Ed. N. Leiby, the druggist.
The heaviest losers are Randall Bros.
who occupied a two story frame
building. They have been in the
general mercantile business in that
same building since 1888, and the
counters and shelves were loaded to
their utmost with new and old goods.
The only insurance carried by them
was $1,000 on the stock of goods. The
barn on the rear of the lot and ad-
joining Lovell's, also fell prey to the
flames. as well as barn belonging to
Arthur Wilson, back of his store.
J. A: Nathan conducted hardware
store just west of Randall Bros. The
building was not large, two story,
and Mr.. Nathan had occupied it about
two years. The billiard hall of VIM.
Heckelsmiller, blind man, occupied
the corner. This was one-story
structure, and to the rear and between
Lovell's barn was a residence, occupied
by Patrick Bolar.
Alonzo Griffin, who had purchased
the old Sherman House, just last year,
was making splendid Improvement
on the premises. Besides remodeling
the entire house, and making il modern
in its accommodations, he had built q
new residence at the east which was
not completed. Fred Mehring's resi-
dence was small two story affair and

Of Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be
healthy and strong, but a great many
women, unfortunately, are not, owing
to the unnatural condition of the lives
we lead. Headache, backache and a
general tired condition are prevalent

relieve these conditions m rush

ly for them, and containing-nobody
knows what. If they would just get a
box of Brandreth's Pills, and take them
regularly every night for a time, all
their trouble would disappear, as these
pills regulate the organs Of the femi
nine system. The same dose has the
same effect, no matter how long they
are used.
Brandreth's Pills have been in USE
for over a century and are sold il
every drug and medicine store, plair
or sugar coated.

Cure for HOG Cholera.

After many years of experimenting
for the cure Of hog cholera the De-
partment of Agriculture has worked
out a method which gives promise OF
being an effective remedy. The meth
cd consists in the injection Of serum
from the blood of an immune hog, after
the immune has been treated similarly
with the serum from hogs affected with
the disease.
DR.. Marion Dorset, of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry, who has worked out
the process, has had it patented In the
name of the department and given the
invention without price to the coun-
try. In this way the possibility of any
one monopolizing the new treatment
will be avoided. 1t Is estimated that
the money loss from hog cholera
reaches $15,OOO.OOO annually.

Imnortina Less champaiane.

Apparently champagne drinking in
the United States is on the wane. Both
the quantity and value of that bever-
age imported into this country last
year were less than in the preceding
one, and practically no greater than a
dozen years ago.
This is only n of the several sur
prising features of a statement issued
by the bureau of statistics On the
"ebb and flow of the commerce OF
the United States in 1906" The figures
show that 394,727 dozen quarts OF
champagne and other sparkling wines
we're imported in 1906, valued a
$5,855,425, while in the Immediately
preceding year the number of dozer
quarts was 4O1, 514, valued at $685.,
S51.

Record Price for Land.

The following from Orange Judd
Farmer shows what profits some men
to make farming:
Ten acres Of farm land in Christian
County, Illinois. sold for $4,000 a few
days ago, or $500 al acre. True, the
land lies just outside the city limits
Of the county seat, but it is not to be
cut into city lots. 1t will be used for
raising fruit and vegetables. In other
words, the purchaser, w. o. Simpson,
expects to make the interest on his
$500 land, and considerable profit be,
sides.
This shows what careful, intelligent
farming and gardening will do. If Mr..
Simpson can make money on his high
priced land, need his %neighbors on
farms equally productive feel discour'
aged? We in this country must prac'
tice Intensive agriculture. There Is
abundant evidence that this will pay.

Raising Seed Corn.

Ha1S1ng Seed Corn.
The best way Of raising corn for
seed, as followed in the West, says G..
W. Morrill, in Tri- State Farmer, is to
prepare a seed bed or testing ground
Of from one to two acres far removed
Srom other fields. To begin with, no
ear should be used which is imperfect
from which to select grains for the
e crop, selecting such type of corn
that you wish to grow, the work of
selection should be followed year after
year. selecting the best ears that show
an improvement over previous years.
Any plant that Is deficient In any re-
quirement should not be allowed to de-
velop a tassel, and especially a barren
stalk.
As to corn feeding. the seed plots
should not suffer for want Of plant
food. From field experiments with fer
tilizers on corn in the West last year,
on soils Of average fertility, a higher
per cent Of potash than ordinary fer
til.zer contains gave remarkable re-
suits and would undoubtedly give sim.
liar results On the average lands OF
Georgia. In Georgia last year were
used more fertilizers with corn than
was ever used in years before, and with
proper fertilizers and more attention
to the selection Of seed, and intensive
culture, there Is no doubt or reason
why the average yield of well-bred corr
should not be increased In the South
and especially Georgia.

influence of DenOrning.

Fourteen cows were subjected to the
tuberculin test by the Wisconsin Sta
ton and then dehorned. The milk of
these cows, as regards yield and com
position, was compared with the milk
Of cows dehorned but not t%uberculin
tested. of cows tuberculin tested but
not d%ehorned. and Of lows neither de-
horned nor tuberculin tested. The re-
suit showed on ar average a decrease
Of about 8 per cent in the yield OF
milk for the first few days after de-
herning, but a loss of only about 2 per
cent in the yield Of butter fat. De-
horning, therefore, increased the rat
content of the milk OPT per cent. These
results are noted as being In accord
with the results of Investigations at
other experiment stations which are
cited. The tuberculin test was appar-
emily without effect upon milk secre-
ton.

Storing Winter Apples.

Storing Winter Apples.
Many growers must be reminded OF
the Importance Of getting fruit to stor-
age as promptly as possible after pick
Ing. The United States Department Of
Agriculture has demonstrated that
fruit deteriorates more in a few days
between the time of leaving the trees
and the time 1t reaches storage than 1t
does in as many months Of storage at
a low temperature.
1t was formerly thought necessary
to put apples in piles in the orchard,
to Sweat" but this has been shown
to have been a mistake. Don't do this
but, on the contrary, send your apples
to storage at once, in refrigerator cars,
II the weather is warm and the dis
lance is great. Many of the best ap-
pie handlers want their fruit In storage
before night Of the day 1t is picked. II
at all possible, and there Is no doubt
that they are right in regard to this

Best Crop for Pigs.

In the spring and summer, rye and
clover are used for pastures until the
pigs weigh about eighty-tive to 100
pounds. Then barley Is added until
some early variety Of flint or sweet
corn is ready. Only a small field Of
this last is necessary, or an amount
sufficient to carry the pigs until the
field corn is denting. Then the pigs
are turned in small areas of the field
corr at a time. until they are fat. By
fencing in and using these crops in this
order the cost of growing pigs is re-
duced to a very low figure. We know
of several farmers who are following
this practice and are highly pleased
with 1t.

IT is true of all poor stock that 1t Is
never profitable, and it is especially
true of sheep. Weed out closely. The
most important point in successful win

with strong and healthy animals. Sheep
need not be cared for in a different
manner from most other farm stock,

Fixed Wages on Farm,

Fixed wages for a days work" is
not the proper mode Of contracting.
There is as much difference in a days
work between individuals as in the
value of the products of the farm. Nor
can any method be devised for deter
mining the value of a days work on a
farm until the labor has been perform
ed. Wherever work can be done by
the piece it should be the rule, though
this cannot well be the case on a farm.
