TWO Eirss AL Na.hua.

Nashua, Aug. 5.-Two large barns on
the Thomas Burgess farm, about three
miles south of Nashua, were burned
about noon Friday. The farm is ten
anted by Ms Juhl. who lost over 100
tons of hay in the fire. How the fire
started Is not known, but is thought to
have been from spontaneous combus-
ton from the new hay. The loss on
the building will be about $4,000, part
ly insured. Juhl carried 5000 insurance
on the hay.
At about the same hour threshine
machine, two loads Of grain and a
straw stack belonging to John Knapp
three miles north OF town, were de-
stroyed by fire, thought to have been
started from an overheated pulley on
the straw carrier.

ernment by the college and the state
dairy commission.
This picnic included the membership
Of the cooperative creamery at Al
coma and it was held at the farm OF it's
secretary, J. B. Hofius Each month
it will be held at different farm so
that the members may learn what IS
being done by the progressive dairy
men of the community.

are both educational and social. The
first meeting was a success in spite OF
the busy season and it has aroused in
