TWO ARE KILLED
BY STORM ON LAKE
BUFFALO LOSES HEAVILY AND
SHIPPING SUFFERED TO THE
EXTENT, POSSIBLY, OF 100000.
FIVE VESSELS 5EAcHED.

Buffalo. n. Y, January 21.-So far to-
day only two deaths have been reported
as a direct result of the storm. These &C.
Cured at DunlSirk, where a IL year old
girl was drowned and Mrs. Henrietta
Soldwick was killed by flying debris from
a demolished ice house.
In Buffalo it is estimated that the
storm did from $l50o,Ooo to $20OO,oOo dam
age. At Niagara Falls damage to the
amount of $4,000 was done to the great
gcrce railroad, while in the heart of the
city buildings valued at $4,000 were COM
pletely demolished. From every city and
tewn along the lake reports of great
damage are received. Inland towns also
suffered considerably
The storm lasted almost twenty-four
hours. during which time the velocity
of the wind varied from twenty-five to
eighty-two mills an hour. The greatest
losses will be those sustained by marine
interests.
OF the twenty-three vessels anchored
under the lee of the breakwater near the
harbor entrance, five took the beach al
the foot of Michigan street in yester-
days gale.
All of these vessels are modern freight
ers of an average valuation of $5l 900
As most of them are still laden with
grain their total valuation Is not far
from $4,000 600
Two of the vessels are high and dry.

History as 1t Is.

From Life
The directors of the Great Melon rail-
road company were gathered round the
board. 1t was highly important meet
ing.
Gentlemen" said the president, I'VE
have as you know, accumulated a sur
plus of thirty millions of dollars. As
honest and painstalling men, it only
remains for us to decide the form in
which this shall be distributed to our
hard working stockholders, of whom /
ahem.-am one of the largest
AT this moment the superintendent Of
the road was announced.
Gentlemen, excuse me for interrupt
Ing you, but the fact is, strike has
taken place at the other end of the
road and is rapidly spreading. The en-
gineers complain that they have to work
nearly fifteen hours out of the twenty
four, which makes it impossible for
them to do their duty, thus increasing
the danger of severe accident. The
brakemen are paid starvation wages,
owing to the fact that the Ice Trust
"Of which l am a director" murmured
the president-the Coal Trust, the Meat
Trust-"In which we are all vitality in
terested," murmured the other directors
have put up the price of all neees-
stiles. Here are the demands of the
men,
The president, concealng his annoy
ance as much as possible, glanced over
the paper handed to hip, and then
said
What is your pleasure? Shall we
raise the wages of these misguided
men,
Never" muttered the other directors
unanimously.
Thereupon the president of the board
turned to the superintendent.
you have heard our reply" he said,
Make usual efforts to take care of
passengers and shippers, call on the
militia If necessary, and issue a mani
festo showing how we have worked
and labored to preserve harmony, how
unjust the demands of our employees are,
and how we will, If necessary, fight to
the death and put the dear public to no
end of inconvenience and trouble rather
than give up one iota of the rights to
which we are entitled under the constitu-
ton"

whispered. Gentlemen. | guess we'd bet

planted in hills ten feet apart each way
so that 1t was an easy matter to drive
team between the rows. This manure
was left in the center between the hills
in small piles about the size of a wash
tub. Every time the vines were cult
waited a part of this manure was worked
into the soil so that by the time of last
cultivation it had all been worked into
the soil. The result was simply wonder
full. 1t was one of the largest crops OF
melons | ever saw and the melons were
all of a superior quality to any others
on the farm. The vines continued to
bloom and set fruit until killed by the
frost. The yield of seed per acre was
nearly double what it was on the I'M
MANFRED part of the field.
The same careful preparation of soil
as recommended for cantaloupe will
answer for the culture of watermelons
as we'll, only the watermelon vines will
need more room and should be planted
ten by ten feet.
Watermeons do not require icing in
shipment. but are usually shipped In open
cars where there is ample ventilation.
Thousands of cars of watermeons are
shipped annually from the south to north
ern markets and the growing of these
melons has become a profitable business,
paying all the way from $50 to $3.50 per
acre.
Varieties.
Some of the best varieties of water
melons for shipment are Ferry's Iceburg
which in general appearance resembles
Kolb's Gem, but is a great improvement
over this old sort. Sweetheart, Triumph
Blue Gem and Georgia Rattlesnake, all
good sorts to grow for shipment For
home use or for nearby markets there
is no better variety than the Monte
i, Cristo
This fine melon is sold under various
names, as, Alabama Sweet. <leclSleys
Sweet, etc. This is a long. dark green
melon with very sweet red meat and
white seed.
In the northern markets there is quits
a difference in the demands for water
melons and cantaloupes, as here the buy
ers generally want all the watermelon
they can get for the money, so that size
counts rather than quality. Cantaloupes
are sold for the sugar and fine quality
they contain.
The watermelon growers, however.
should strive to combine quality with
size in their melons.
