Although the weather bureau pre-

heard in the distance. At 11:45
a refreshing shower began falling,
which continued for some fifteen or
twenty minutes. While not enough

An OLD LANDMARK DESTROYED
Structure Was Erected Of Stone in
lS73.-Pardally Insured

A deeu uctive tire Visited the Falls
community on South Prong. about
three miles southwest of the city,
yesterday afternoon and DESTROYED
the home Of : i Hilburn. When
the fire was nrst discovered flames
were ioulng from the smokehouse
just to the rear of the residence. In
short while the flames made their
way to the residence despite the eff
forts of the neighbors to check them
The structure was of stone and was
two stories high and built by S. r.
Hilburn in 1878. By heroic efforts
the household effects of the first
floor We're saved, but nearly all the
contents of the second floor were
destroyed. A buggy house some two
hundred feet from the residence soon
caught and all efforts to save the
building were futile 1t was with
systematic efforts that the large barn
near by was saved from the mad
flames, although this building caught
from the burning residence some for
ty or fifty times.
Mr.. Hilburn was in the city at
the time of the fire and before he
reached the scene his home was in
ashes. Mr.. Hilbur1 says his total
loss on buildings was $500. and
81 900 on household elects He car
ried insurance through the Langs-
ford & Phillips agen..' TO the amount
of $4,000 on building. and $500 on
furniture, etc. Mr.. ii burn says he

LUMBERMEN WILL AID
In Conservation of Yellow Pine
Forests of Northwest


Washington, Aug 90. The in
terest being taken by practical lum-
bermen in the conservation of the
forests was illustrated at the semi
annual meeting of the Yellow Pine
Manufacturers association which
was recently held in Chicago. The
report of the committee on the con-
servation of the yellow pine forests
received much attention and was
adopted unanimously.
Among the chief recommendation
made by the committee in its report
was for the cutting by lumbermen of
their timber by two operations with
an interval of from fifteen to twenty
years, the ripe timber being re-
moved during the first cutting and
to leave from $500 to 5000 feet Of
standing timber on each acre. 1t was
shown by such method of lumber
ing that a decided advantage would
accrue to the lumbermen through the
increased growth and consequent gain
in timber which would be had be-
tween the first and second cuttings.
The association also adopted the
recommendation of the COMMITTEES
providing for the appointment Of
committee with power to act and to
expend funds with the forest service
on matters of education, forest fires
and taxation.

value of TiIIaxe.

The limit of production of an acre
OF land is measured as much by tbs
capacity of the man who tills 1t as
by the capacity OF the soil itself to
produce large crop. There are few
farmers who till one-half acre of soil
IN manner that will produce the
BEST and most profitable returns. As
rule the average farmer has a vague
idea of the value of tillage and proper
fertilization. Through the feeding of
the plants a soil may be rich or poor,
just as the farmer plans his rotation
and cropping system.
Many farmers have been handi-
capped because they have been taught
that clover and other members of the
legune family were the only means

nitrogen to the soil, but there are mil

man from his own actual experience

heavy wagons. time of man and team
valued at 20 cents an hour. 500: thir-
ty-two weeks, three deliveries a week.
tlve hours day, with heavy wagon.
time OF man and team valued at 90
cents an hour, 500, making the total
cost of delivering whole milk S196 for
the year. Cost of hauling cream only:
Twenty weeks, three deliveries week.
two and one-half hours day, with

valued at 20 cents an hour. $40: thir-
ty-two weeks, two deliveries a week.
two and one-half hours day, with
