Miss Minnie McGraw, the former
librarian, met with serious loss yes
terday afternoon by fire. Last fall
she erected fine chicken house on
Bunker hill, IL by 90 feet, two stories
high, at an expense of about $1,000.
She went into the raising of fancy
poultry, and had several incubators,
an dabout 300 fowls, besides feed, etc
Between twelve and one o'clock yester-
day, while she was down town, the
entire plant burned to the ground. Only
sixty fowls were saved.
1t is not known what started the
fire, but it is thought to have been
one of the breeders. as two or three were
fired up. Miss McGraw carried some
insurance, but her loss will be consid-
cradle, besides putting her back year
in her business, which was very
promising one. She will have the
sympathy of her many friends in her
loss.

Peel peaches, cut in halves and re-
move seeds; arrange in wooden tub,
leaving hole In center for vessel that
is to contain the sulphur. If four
gallons of fruit is desired pare enough
fruit for six gallons. as this allows for
shrinkage. When fruit is in tub place
sulphur, at the rate of one teaspoon
full to each gallon of fruit used, in

cover whole tub closely for four hours.
Remove fruit and place in stone jars ;
