IL Houses
Completely
Destroyed
Brick Yards Were
Not Injured By
The Flames

Fire broke out in the village Of
Hammond. about twelve miles from
here this morning about 1880 O'Clock
and for time 1t looked as If the en-.
tire village would be burned down
Eleven houses were destroyed.
The origin of the fire has not been
determined. 1t started in Frank Han
ford's house. Those whose homes
were consumed are: Frank Hansford,
Frank Eiason. Goodwin boarding
house, D. L. Rutherford, Arthur Cur.
rey, H. L. Vandergrift, G. H. Fuller,
Harvey vandergrlft, William Heron,
]. W. Collins. Ernest Griffith.
The first news of the fire mere was
received ty Mayor Neely VINO notified
Chief Reed. Chief Reed called up r.
1. Bretts office and informed them
that the village was on fire. Mr.. Brett
went to Hammond on train 70.
Wilbur Graffius communicated with
the fire department at Grafton and
found out that it had no equipment
that could be attached to the water
line of the Hammond Fire Brick Com.
pany. It was tie same with the Fair
mont fire department. The depart.
ments from both cities were willing to
send men and do what they could.
There were plenty OF men at Ham.
mond to do what was necessary.
The loss has not been estimated. It
is partly covered by insurance.
All of the houses belonged to the
Hammond Fire Brick Company. Two
of them were two story houses, the
boarding house and Frank Hansfords
home. The others were four roomed
houses.
TIE brick plant will resume opera
tions tomorrow as though nothing had
happened. 1t was not on fire and was
not in danger at any time. The brick
plant is protected by a two inch waite:
line and has hose to reach every de-
partment. The company did not have
enough hose to reach to the buildings
that burned.
Mr.. T. I. Brett, general manager Of
the company, is real hustler and
soon the fire losses at Hammond will
only be a memory.

A curious question In evolution was
once put to scientist prominent In the
service Of the government. why Is
It." some one asked. chat horses shy
and donkeys do not?"
The answer was to the following eff.
feet:
The ancestors Of the horse were &c.
customed to roam over the plains.
where every tuft Of grass or bush
might conceal an enemy waiting ir
ambush. In these circumstances the
must have time and again saved the
lives by quickly starting back or else

that 80 many years Of domestication
have not eradicated II.
On the other hand, the donkey Is de-
scended from animals that lived among
the hills. with the usual precipices and
dangerous declivities. and from these
conditions, 1t would appear, there re-
suited It's slowness and sure feotedness.
The donkey's ancestors were not. then.
so liable to sudden attacks from wild
beasts and snakes. Moreover. sudden
and wild starts would have been pos
itively dangerous TO the donkey's for
bears Consequently they learned to
avoid the characteristic trick Of the
horse. The habit Of eating thistles, Pc
culiar to the donkey, seems also to
have been inherited from Its ancestors.
In the dry. barren localities they In
habited there was often very little
food; therefore they learned to eat the
hard, dry and even rrickly plants and

1t is interesting to see how hens
take to the nest. Those outside see the

Agricultural Legislation In Mississippi
At recent session of the Mississippi
legislature a number Of acts were
passed with view to promoting the
agricultural interests of the state.
Among these was an act authorizing
each county In the state to build an
agricultural high school and pledging
a state support fund Of $1,000 annual
~ for each school meeting certain
specified conditions. Fifteen counties
have already located schools. The
first of these was Noxubee county,
which has voted tax levy Of mill
upon the taxable property Of the coun-
ty for the support Of its county agri-
cultural high school at Mashulavflle,
an inland village twelve miles west Of
Macon. This school will have an in
come Of $1,000 from the state, $1,000
from the public schools merged into 1t
and $4,000 from the county. making
an annual income Of $1,000.
The legislature also authorized
boards Of supervisors to appropriate
money for premiums to boys engaged
IN corn growing contests. Such con-
tests were organized I'm FIVE counties
last year and In twenty-three counties
this year, with over 1900 boys en-
gagged In the work. There are also
about 500 girls organized in home cul.
ture clubs. Exhibits are nrst held In
the home counties, after which those
taking prizes are sdown at the state

TRAP NESTS FOR HENS.

Clever Continuance Which Gives the
Layers Privacy.
The trap nets described In this arti-
Gle are self regulating. When once set
they require no more attention through
the day. The hen when she wants to
lay enters nest at the lower opening.
The door closes automatically behind
the hen, which prevents any other hen
or anything else from bothering her
while on the nest.
There is partition about eight
inches high which divides the interior
into two equal apartments. The hen
on entering the box, or reception
apartment, the frst time in search OF
a nest is as sure to want to see what
is over behind the partition as daylight
and dark come In fact, she is hunt
ing place Of seclusion and little
darkness. On seeing the nest over be-
hind the partition she jumps upon the
partition board to get over in the nest,
which releases small spring that
holds the shutters In place above the
entrance door, when the spring which
holds the shutter In place is released
