Food Value of Glover Hny.

Farmers. as a rule. do not appreciate
the full value of clover as hay. Tim
othy hay costs more in the market than
does clover. which has led many farm
ers to believe tina timothy has n high
er nutritive value than clover hay.
They assume that as the city l%iverylnan
or horse owner buy timothy in prefer
enc to clover hat they are better
judges of the feeding value of hay thar
they are themselves.
Nearly all the hay sold in the city
market is sold to horse ownrrs whose
animals are used for light driving or
light work. In such cases timothy is
to be preferred not that it contains Il
higher nutritlve value, but for the real
son thai 1t carries less dust with it,
and there is less danger of the animals
eating too much Of it. II is also less
risky In the matter Of the heaves.
Glover can be easily grown, and yet
how few barns are filled with 1t. Toe
many cattle are fattened on corn aud
other hay-some add ~cotton-seed meal,
oil cake or similar heterogeneous concen-
trates to the ration, all of which pro-
duccs good results. but the rule on the
farm should be that as much nitrog-
enous feed as it is possible to
grow should be produced, and thus
save h expense Of large purchases Of
oil meal.
Glover hay Is an excellent roughage
to be fed fattening cattle in large guam
titles. Some feeders begin the feeding
period with two pounds Of clover hay
to every pound Of corn. The amount
Of hay IS reduced gradually. inc the
corn increased until toward the latter
part of the feeding period, when three
pounds Of corn are fed to every pound
of clover hay. Feeding clover hay to
that extent, 1t is hardly necessary to
give oil meal. except during the last
four weeks OF the feeding period.
Dairy COWS also thrive on clover
hay. and corn and clover makes a very
good ration for them. a good, thrifty
COW will eat % pounds Of clover hay
and G pounds of corr taily. Such a
ration would have a nutritive ratio Of
IL, which is narrow enough for milk
production.
But two or three pounds of bran and
four or five pounds Of corn, together
with all the clover hay a cow will eat,
is n still better ration. Where corn
fodder or other hay Is substituted for
clover hay, more heterogeneous concen-
rates and less corn must be fed

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an intiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is in1lamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which Is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness lcaused by Catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

TWO DIE IN BIG FIRE;
LOSS OF 100000
Elevator "B" of Illinois Central in
South Water Street, Chi-
Cago, Burns.
FIGHT ON BLAZE IS STRENUOUS
Striking of Structure by Lightning
Followed by Terrific Explosion,
Then Fall of Wall.

Two tiremen were killed, eleven per.
sons injured and Il loss Of $1,000 900
caused early Thursday by the fire that
destroyed Illinois Central elevator p
foot Of South Water street. Chicago,
A Gordon of firemen narrowly escaped
being caught beneath falling walls
wEiie dozens of others were overcome
by the heat and smoke.
Lightning is believed to have caused
the blaze which was blown cityward by
q heav.: wind from the lake. when the
flames burst through the roof and the
gale sent thousands of burning embers
and sparks flying over the loop dis
trict, imperiling big business houses.
Within an hour the huge elevator
was Il mass Of fire and looked like an
immense oven, as the sheet iron be
came redhot and the walls began to
tumble.
SO intense was the heat that firemen
were constantly overcome, and one
after another fell at their posts of
duty. 1t was seen to be impossible
to save the burning structure. Conse
quently the tircmen's main fight was
to prevent Il spread of the flames to
nearby property.
Firemen Cooper and McElligott met
death in the collapse of the south wall.
They were leading the battle at that
point. when somebody shouted a warn
ing. A rush for safety was made by
the tiremen, but Cooper and McElli-
gott were too close to the building to
escape being caught. Both were bur-
led beneath tons of brick and burning
beams.
Several other tiremen who narrowly
escaped a similar fate were seriously
injured, being struck by flying bricks.
The elevator stood between two
river slips n contained 491. 600 bush
els Of wheat and about the same
amount of corn. 1t was one of the
largest in the city and was surrounded
by big business houses. 1t was nearly
100 feet high and about $50 feet long.
For a time the flames threatened to
destroy the Illinois Central docks, the
Goodrich docks. the Wisconsin Central
freight house and other huge buildings.
The two freight houses caught fire
more than a dozen times, but hard
work by the firemen prevented their

1t costs approximately 81 $50 to buy
