At $50 last evening fire broke out
In the Christy .clothes-cleaning shop
on Court street, and the little frame
building which it occupied is now
nothing but a blackened hulk. How
the fire started is not known. but 1t
is presumed to have been caused by
carelessness on the part Of the pro-
prietor. For a time last night he was
thought to be inside the shop, but
such was not the case.
Being very dry the little building
burned briskly and while the flames
were at their highest It was feared the
blaze would spread to the Carney &
Kennedy stable or to the old lodging
house at the corner of Court and
Johnson streets. However, the fire
men succeeded in preventing this,
though they could do little towards
saving the burning building.
The frame building in which the
shop was located belonged to Lot
Livermore.
Phone System Damaged.
The fire last evening disabled the
lower phone cable running along the
south side OF Court street, and as a
result 112 phones in the east end Of
the city were put out of commission
temporarily.

Value of Corn stalks.

The true value of foods to the farm
er is in the proportions Of protein and
ash (mineral matters) contained. If
corn Is exchanged for bran and bran Is
used on the farm as food for stock,
there Is brought on the farm more pro-
TEN than Is contained In corn, as well
as a larger proportion of the phos-
pilates (bone-forming elements) than
the corn contains. The manure from
bran Is also much more valuable than
that from corn, and when fair price
can be obtained for corn it may be to
the advantage of farmers to sell their
corn and buy bran for stock. When
the corn crop is planted the fodder
should be considered as one1haR the
crop expected. The crop Of fodder
from a field of corn should be equal In
value to the grain taken therefrom,
and yet the fodder is wasted and the
grain saved. In fact, If the fodder is
given no better treatment than 1t re-
ceiyes on some farms 1t would be
cheaper to drive into the fields, pull
the ears from the stalks, throw them
into wagon and haul direct from the
field to the crib, leaving the stalks
standing, than to expend labor In cut
ting 1t into shocks, with the additional
work Of husktng the grain after the
corn is shocked, as 1t will save labor by
50 doing, if the fodder is to be wasted,
especially as 1t is very disagreeable
task to husk the corn In the field in
cold weather

ALPS CLAIM II VICTIMS.
High Temperatures I'm Switzerland
Make Climbing HazarJous.

NAME climbing hazardous.
Seventeen deaths and thirty injured
make the casualty roll of the Alps thus
Tar in the mountain climbing season of
this year. The mountain guides expect
this number to be largely increased be-
fore the season ends, for the heat now
prevailing in Switzerland and the recent
earthquake epidemic have combined to
make climbing specially hazardous. Ava
lanches are continually forming and fall
Ing In the most unexpected places, owing
to the intensely hot weather.
The Simplon, always noted for the Sc
rious avalanches falling from the Glet-
schorn glaciers, was early in July the
scene of an immense fall of snow and
rock, owing to the bursting of a glacier
lake on the Bodmer, caused by the heat.
a somewhat similar fall swept down the
ST. Gothard line near Lucerne.
On the st. Bernard avalanches have
been frequent during the past fortnight,
and the dogs have been busily engaged in
seeking travellers who have been over
whelmed by snowfalls. Last week three
Italians were swept away on the Swiss
side of the pass. Their bodies have not
been found and may not be seen again
for years.
Scarcely less dangerous are the wonder
full ice avalanches or ''eislawinen," which
are among the wonders and perils of the
Jungfrau, the Matterhorn, the Piz Bep-
nina and the Aiguille des Charmoy.
These marvellous falls of glittering,
cleaning ice consist of thousands of spar
king tons of shattered and twisted seracs
or ice needles, which have fallen from
the glaciers and been precipitated down
the mountain by the heat of the sun and
the action of the weather. The huge
falls or cataracts of ice are a terrible
danger for the climber without a guide
who rashly ventures into their vicinity
after sunrise.

Early in October.
For the first time in history a Presi-
dent of the United States is going to
take journey on the Mississippi river,
not for the purpose of getting from one

its banks and to acquaint himself with

principle of seeing things for himself
Instead of through the eyes OF others.

Growtnr Protein Feed.

Protein foods, so essential in feed
ing live stock, can be grown far more
cheaply than they cost in the market.
On this subject Wallace's Farmer
says:
The experience Of the last thirty
years has shown that a balarced ra-
ton can be grown on the farm without
the purchase Of any feeds containing
protein, as, for example, bran, oil
meal or cotton seed meal. 1t has
shown that forty pounds of silage and
eighteen pounds of good clover hay
will make q fairly well balanced ra-
ton for an ordinary COW; in other
words, that ton of silage will furnish
half the ration of an average COW for
fifty days; and that an acre Of good
corn that will Yield fifty bushels to the
acre viii furnish from eight to Twelve
tons Of silage.
The farmer who has corn of this
character and clover, or clover and
timothy, or alfalfa meadow that will
yield from two. to three tons Of hay
per annum can easily figure on the
number Of COWS he can keep on a def
mite number of acres during the win
ter season. The number of acres of
pasture that viii be required will de-
pend upon the character of the pasture
and the season; but usually on the
care he takes of bis pasture.
Every dairyman who is keeping
from ten to twenty cows should,
therefore, begin to study the silo ques-
ton very thoroughly. This is one of
the topics that should be discussed
not merely at Institutes, but at the
firesides in every dairying community
The great obstacle in the way of the
individual farmer using the silo is not
the cost of building it. which, consid-
ering its capacity, is not as great as
the cost Of barn would be. 1t is
rather in the cost Of machinery neces-
sary TO convert the corn into silage,
and of the help needed at that partic-
ular time Here isAwhere co-opera lion
comes In.
