modelled.
(special 10 THn T1MnsO

East Chicago, Ind, March 2.-Follow-
ing the middle Of April Indiana Harbor
will have an official municipal fire de-

ing, the remodeled structure formerly
occupied as the electric lighting plant
This has undergone a thorough reno
walton and been suitably partitioned

the city horses and large room for the
engine and general equipment. The
sleeping apartments will be on the north

itect and A. II. W. Johnson of East
Chicago the contractor.
To Remove Old Buildings.
To further improve the appearance of
the premises a number of old and de-
lapidated buildings are to be removed.
The old barn wherein the city horses
were heretofore stabbed, will be moved
as viii also the present fire station. An
old house which also occupies a por-
ton of the lot, will be removed and re-
modelled and will be occupied as a
dwelling by the barn boss.
The new fire station is the one piece
| of property retained by the city after
disposing of the electric lighting plant
| and the water works to the present
company. It is a particularly good
| building, well built of brick, nd is well
adapted and centrally located for the
purpose I'd which it will be put. Not
long ago the city purchased the fire
apparatus used at the White City in one
of its fire exhibitions and this consti-
tutes the apparatus to be installed II

BLAST IMPERILS 20
Illinois Company's Furnace
Explosion of Gas Hurts
Many Workers.

In spite of an array of officers and
lawyers of the Illinois Steel company
in South Chicago. who sought to carry
out the corporations policy Of sup
pressing all facts in cases of accident,
1t was proved at the corners inquest
yesterday that Joseph Morovack was
killed Sunday morning in an explosion.
The company denied that there had
been an explosion. but the testimony
revealed the fact that there had been
one which wrecked Blast Furnace No.
10, the largest at the steel company's
South Chicago plant, and that eight
men were injured. It was also brought
out that twenty other workmen were
nearly asphyxiated by the gases that
belched from the broken furnace, and
that there have been three such explo-
sionss at the plant within four months.

SHACK OWNERS GUILTY
Foreigners Admit That They
Had Broken the
Laws.

Six of the seven foreigners arrested
last week on charges of having violated
the Gary building ordinance, pleaded
guilty in Justice Hubers court this
morning. Their cases were continued
until next Friday in which time the
attorneys will look into the constitu-
tiona1ity Of the ordinance which the
foreigners violated. AS it now stands
there is no fine attached to 1t and it
is probable that the town board may
draw up a new ordinaDce this after
noon
The case of Ignatz Piddle was dis

FARM NOTES
Keep the harness oiled.

Dust is the greatest enemy to whole
some milk. Keep down the dust in
the milking stables.
Weed out the scrubs and breed for
type; but be sure you have a definite
idea as to what type you want and
why.
The growing Of legumes in older
settled agricultural communities is no
longer a matter of choice; it is a ne
cessity.
If the cows teats have a tendency
to get hard, keep a bottle of yaseline
handy and use it occasionally to soften
the parts.
The old brood SOW should be kept
as long as she remains vigorous. She

reaches the enormous number OF
100000. The production varies from
40, 100000 to 100000 tons during a
season.
If the farm is 100 acres in area it
will be found more profitable to sell
sheep for mutton rather than to sell
them to other people to get ready
for the market
There is nothing like plenty of good
fresh air in living and sleeping rooms
whether the rooms be for the occu-
pancy OF man or for animals. This
holds good for both winter and sum

KING ROAD DRAG IS SIMPLE
One Of the Most important improVers
Ever Made-Lasts Longer with
Steel Face.

The King split log road drag is one
the simplest and most important
improvers ever invented. BY using a
drag of this kind after each rain the
road may be easily and chaaply kept
in good condition all summer. The
most successful road masters COM
mence when the tops of the frost hobs
begin to get dusty in the early spring
months, and before the ground gets
hard enough to form Gods. 1t must
De dry enough on top so the mud will
not stick to the steel scrapers. 1t
is one mans business TO watch the
condition of the road and use the
scraper when the time is right.
The drag is easily made from log
split in two in the middle. The log
should be eight feet long and the
halves pinned together with two-inch
rounds as shown in the cut. A board
is placed on these rounds for the driy-
er to stand on, as some additional
weight usually is necessary to make

the scrapers cut deep enough. Some
ines the logs are used without steel
facings, but an old piece of steel wag-
on tire. saw blade, or some other
suitable material may be picked up in
the blacksmith shop and pressed into
service. The drag does better work
and lasts longer if faced with steel.
One chain is longer than the other
to permit the earth to slide along the
face of the scraper towards the center
of the road. The use of the drag
smooths the road and rounds it so the
surface is even and the water runs off
quickly after a rain. These are the
reasons for the good work accomplished
by tool so simple and cheap.

LOSS IN PREPARING APPLES
Quite Considerable Amount Is Lost
by lmproberIy Picking and
Packing the Crop.

tB1 X. Il. RUSH NG)
The best method have ever tried is
picking into baskets. These baskets
should be about half-bushel round
baskets with drop handles.
The baskets should be smooth on the
inside-that is, free from strips
around the inside or bottom. They
should be lined with burlap to pre-
vent bruising, and short iron hook
should be attached to the handle to
suspend the basket from the limbs, so
as to enable the picAer to use both
hands
The great advantage in using the
basket ! find lies largely in the fact
that if the apples are carefully placed
in the same they are not bruised.
The worst objections | have to the
baskets are that they are not so handy
as the sack and that sometimes care
less pickers are disposed to toss ap-
pies into them as they set upon the
ground or hang upon a limb a few
feet away.
My experience is that apples packed
| from the table and Immediately placed
in cold storage Of they are to be put
into cold storage) will give by far the
better results.
This method adds two to four
months to the keeping qualities of the
fruit.
You cannot afford to let your fruit
lie under the trees or in building
for two or three weeks before you
barrel
Every days delay in packing and
shipping will lose you money and quail
ity in your fruit, and if you are not
the loser the party who buys it is.
Fruit grown in a warm latitude or
harvested during a warm September
or October must be quickly handled.
But when properly handled at picking
time, as | have suggested, there will
not be much room for complaint
A good barrel is essential if you
wish to store your fruit, have it keep
well and sell well. We suffer from
lack of good cooperage.
A tight barrel is the best, and the
better it is made the better results
you will have. There will be less loss
from shrinkage of fruit. from rats and
mice and other causes.
In my orchard | have eight pickers
and six sorters and bSrrelers in each
gang A good strong table, construct
ed of light, strong material, is pro-
vided.
This table is set in the center of 16
trees; sometimes. If the fruit is
scarce and the trees are very small,
or SO trees.
Four or six rows are carried forward
at once and the table is moved along
the center rows and set in the middle
of the square at each move.
/ usually have one man that nails
the hoops, the head liners, and takes
out the heads of barrels, as it prevents
loss in shipping and facilities in the
examination and inspection of fruit in
storage.
If you have good fruit and it is worth
money in the market to warrant
YOU in so doing, you should make two
grades: one a strictly No. | or fancy
grade and another which will take
fruit that is slightly defective but
good for immediate use, commonly
termed No. 2 in the market
Usually it will pay as well or better
to sell this No. fruit to the evapo-
rator or the cider mill instead of put
ting it in expensive barrels, and to
this add the cost of freight and com.
missions, getting no more and perhaps
not as much as you would have rea-
lized in bulk.

memoration will be observed by ex-
positions. both national and interna-
tional, and there will also be various
observances to perpetuate the memo
ries of the struggle against Spain. But
century leaves no animosity. Ar.
gentina is still peopled by the de-
scendants of the early Spaniards and
among the monuments to be erected
is one to Spain, writes Charles NJ
Pepper in the Christian Herald.
Argentina has much that makes 1t
of interest to the people of the United
States. In the first place there is its
size. While not as big as our own
country, it has more than 100000
square miles of territory.
Then there is similarity of pro,
ducts, In which it compares to our
own Mississippi valley. 1t is one OF
the greatest wheat growing regions in
the world, with unlimited possibilities
for future crops. One of the homelike
sights that an American sees in Ar,
gentina is the big steam threshers in
harvest time. Most of these thresh,
ers, too, are of American make, as are
nearly all the mowers and reapers.
Argentine has cattle ranches and
sheep ranches which compare with
those of Texas and Montana. Its beef
and mutton help to feed a good many
people in England and in other parts
of the world, while its wool clip is

England and Germany.
The history of the struggle which
resulted in Argentina securing its in
dependence is one of the most thrill
ing of the chapters in the revolt of
the South American colonies from
Spain. The struggle produced some
heroic figures. The greatest of them
was Gen. San Martin. He not only
helped to free the disconnected terri
tories or provinces which constituted
Argentina and unite them, but he also
bore supreme part in the enamel
patton of other sections of South
America. His feats in leading the
troops through the snowcovered pass
es of the Andes and down to the
plains of Chile are unsurpassed in
military annals. They scaled snow
clad peaks and cleared pathways that
1t was declared no human feet could
tread. San Martin led the victorious
army in the Pacific coast countries
till his meeting with Gen. Bolivar, the
liberator. They were the two great
military spirits. and it was felt GER
tain that their rival ambitions would
clash. But sooner than endanger the
liberties of the newly enfranChised re
public San Martin, who was the more
generous of the two. after an inter
view with Bolivar. returned to Buenos
Ayres. There he met the obstacles
that constructive statesmen often meet
in trying to reconcile and consolidate
discordant local interests. He became
n voluntary exile. and died at Bou-
logne, in France. One of the features
of the centennial celebration Is to be
the erection OF monument to him at
Boulo3ne
Another hero Of the Argentine
struggle was Gen. Belgrano, who was
second only to San Martin. A mag
