$S0,O0O FIRE.
Rebuilt Oil Mill Again Des- troyed This Time by
 Fire.

At about Il o'clock Saturday night the fire alarm sounded and the fire proved to be the burning of the Oil Mill and the most dis astrous one in Brinkley for the past ten years.
 The Oil Mill which is owned by the Arkansas Cotton Oil Co.,, with Mir. I. L. Hathaway as manager, was destroyed in the cyclone of March Eth.
 A small army of workmen have been engaged in rebuilding the plant and it was to begin it's seasons run within 30 hours of the time it burned. The fire originated on the south side of the building. Night watchman Willis -Fitzhugh had made his regular rounds at 10:30 and the watchman's clock showed this.
 Within Is minutes after this time the fire was discovered by him detecting smoke thro' the building and he at once gave the alarm but the Oil Mill being out of the fire district and having inadequate water facilities of it's own the Fire company couldn't do much in the fight. Had the mill have had the protection of City water there would have been no trouble at all in saving 1t.
 The 400 -four hundred) ton of seed stored in the mill and on which they were to begin their seasons run Monday morning was worth $8,o00,000 about. The mill was insured for ap- proximately the full amount of the loss.
 The books and office fixtures were saved and within four or five hours Manager Hathaway had rented the rooms on New Orleans Ave in the Bank of Brinkley building and had it not been for Sunday work would actually have had his sign up at break of day next morning.
 The business of the mill will continue just as if nothing had happened. Their agents at various towns will buy seed for the Brinkley Oil Mill just as if nothing had happened. The seed will be worked by the com pany's other mills.

To REBUILD-A FINE PLANT.

To REBUILD A FINE PLANT.
 The company's Vice President MT. H. F. Eberts was on the grounds before the fire had been extinguished. It is an assured fact that the plant will be re- built and that it will not only he a fine and modern one,but one of Of the best in the south. It will be rebuilt in brick and will oc- cupy it's own ground initead of the site of the old mill which was on the Rock Island By pro perty.

The dairyman should feed always
according to the producing capacity
of the COW a COW producing two
times as much milk as another should
have twice as much feed. A man of
considerable experience in feeding
suggests the following rules:
Feed one pound OF grain 20 every
four pounds OF milk produced by Hol-
stein COWS and one pound of grain TO
every three pounds OF milk for Jersey
and Guernsey COWS The difference
being due 70 the Characteristic differ

many pounds OF grain per day as COWS
produce butter-fat per week.
