Washington Apprehensive.

Washington, D. C.-Great apprehen-
sion is felt here over the situation in
Florida, where the second great hur-
ricane of the season is raging. Next
to the typhoon of the Orient, these
hurricanes, which have their origin in
the Caribbean sea, are the most ter
riIc in the world The most notable
one engulfed Galveston. The expo
sure of the men on the Flagler road
is such as to excite great concern.
This railroad, unique in railroading, Is
built out over the keys for hundreds
of miles and the men who are work
ing upon it will receive the full force
of the storm. Shipping has been
warned all along the coast from Mo-
bile to Charleston. Prof. Willis Moore
of the weather bureau is certain that
great loss of life and destruction OF
property will follow.
Just before noon the barometer al
Wey West recorded the remarkable
low reading of 1854 and already at
that point the wind had reached hCr
ricane force. In the opinion OF the
forecasters the storm will cover the
entire Florida peninsula, but viii, be
felt in less degree west Of the Appa
lachicola river.

MARTIAL LAW Is PROCLAIMED
AT KEY WEST.
LOSS ESTIMATED At $4,000, 900
The Entire East Coast of Florida ls
Devastated-Lives of Thousands
Of Workmen Arc
Endangered.

Key West, Fla.-As a result OF the
hurricane which struck the southern
coast of Florida, Key West is a mass
OF wreckage and the damage to prop
erty is estimated at 100000. Mar
tiaI law was proclaimed by the mayor
and at o'clock the Key West guards
were patrolling the city.
The United States government has
been asked to despatch troops here
without delay. Chaos reigns on every
hand and few people remain in their
homes, hundreds of which have been
either totally destroyed or damaged.
The storm reached its height at 1
o'clock when the wind had an estt-
mated velocity of 100 miles an hour.
This was a hard, steady blow from 8
a. m. to p. M, when the wind began
to die down, and at 4 p. m. the center
of the hurricane had passed this
point.
While the hurricane is the worst
that Key West has ever experienced,
the local weather observer said that
the indications are that the entire east
coast of Florida will suffer terribly.
Out of one hundred vessels in the har-
bor, but five remain at anchor, the
others either having gone to sea or
have been washed upon the beaches
The streets along the water front are
a mass of wreckage.

Where Is the Dog kept2

Nothing so annoys or makes a dog
ugly, snappish and uncomfortable as
claiming him within limited space.
Constantly and vainly endeavoring to
get free. the dogs disposition in
short time changes and he grows al
most useless on the farm, says Farm
Journal. It's true that good dog in
side of dwelling is worth two out
side, where acquaintance with passers-
by is easily made, and would-be rob-
bers have opportunity easily to fix the
animal; but a reliable barn dog is
best employed in running about, keep
ing order. watching the stock and
prepared to alarm the household when
strangers appear. Such a dog is a
safeguard against pilferers; but
chained to a kennel his efforts are
hampered and he is absolutely worth
less as watchdog and a perpetual
trouble and nuisance to his owner.

Mind a Hurricane.

Miami, Fla.-The gulf storm is grow
ing more furious here and the wind is
driving from the south at a great rate.
The sky is overcast with sulphur
Gus yellow, houses are being unroofed
and limbs blown from trees.
All efforts of the officials of the
Florida East Coast railroad here to
get into communication with the men
on the roads extension on the keys
of the extreme southern peninsula,
have been in vain.
Between $500 and 5000 workmen
are employed on the construction on
the lower keys, where there is slight
protection from the fury Of the storm.
Gravest fears are entertained for
the safety of these men, the appre-
hension being intensified by recol
lections of the hurricane of 1905, when
14O men lost their lives and great
damage to property was done in that
section.
1t is said that the construction
camps are better fortified now and
1t is said that the engineers on the
work have been preparing for a big
blow for a number of days past.

Elevation of Hog House.

It is only natural that the climate
and soil which will best favor the
production of any live stock are those
in which the same stock is found
wild, in his natural state The hog is
found where vegetation is abundant
and luxuriant, where he can find shell
ter in winter and shade and plenty
OF water in the summer. writes ]. T.
Bridgman, in Orange Judd Farmer.
While he is a heavy feeder and
thrives best where he can find luxur-
liant pastures, roots, ETC., he is not a
ranger and cannot endure great
amount of travel at one time. AS
hogs are notably affected by extremes
Of cold and heat, the character of
their shelter will have much to do
with their successful rearing. The
above being true, we will naturally
do best with hogs when we have ar
ranged their home and feeding
grounds, to a certain extent, at Ieast,
such as he would choose for himself
in his wild state. Proper shelter is

root cellar is located under the feed
ing room for storing roots; the stair.
way is located under the main stair
above.
The floor of the feeding room is
dropped eight inches and covered with
stock boards. The entire floor con-
sists of eight inches of cement. The
feed room is also used as a slaughter
house. A galvanized iron vent stack
is placed over the cooker to carry
away the steam, and good brick fue
is built in the corner, as shown. The
house is sided with drop siding, and
lined on the inside with six-inch floor
ing. Each pen has a small window
and one door leading to the driveway,
also one leading to the yards. A slid
ing door, shown at B, closes the drive
way from the feed room. A good
tight floor is laid in the loft, and a
5xS-foot open door left for passing
down bedding and for ventilator.
All hog men have their own ideas
of arranging the feed and water
troughs. However, a good plan is

Starting Sheen on Grain.

When about to feed sheep on grain,
If it has not been fed them before,
they must be started on corn grain
cautiously, especially If corn is a prin-
cipal factor in the food to be fed. We
have great faith in using oats as a
principal portion Of the grain food
when starting the feeding process. A
little bran will be helpful, but it is an
easy matter to use too much of the
latter
Two or three weeks should be taken
to lead them up gradually before they
are put upon feed; otherwise the ap.
petite may be destroyed, and it may
take several days, and even two or
three weeks, to bring the flock back
to that condition in which they will
be able to consume food with a proper
relish.
