New York. Aug. i6-A 100000 siire,
which started, shortly before 2 o'clock,
this morning, in a 7-story left building on
the Bowery, provided spectacle for the
whole downtown East side. One hundred
policemen had their hands full keeping
back the crowds of tenement jewellers, who
surged half clad and panicky from the
narrow side streets and watched the
flames lick up the stocks of several manu-
faeturers of cheap furniture.
Several hundred men. who were guests
at a lodging house just adjoining, were
driven hastily from their beds and fled to
the streets with their clothing under their
arms
Two fremen were injured by flying
glass. Traffic on elevated and surface
lines was tied up until daybreak.

A number Of reasons are given for

Of the University Of Missouri recon-
mends this as the best practice in
most cases, for some of the following
reasons:

and put them in shape for resurfacing
and grading with the material so
broken up.
The scarifier consists OF nine spikes
spaced on a bar which is attached to
the rear end Of the steam roller. As
the roller travels forward the spikes
are forced into the surface, tearing
and breaking 1t up to a sufficient depth
to leave the whole mass loose and in
a condition TO be easily shaped up by
a grader. The spikes are raised and
lowered by steam, and steam pres
sure Is exerted to hold them in the
ground, giving a cushioned compress
sion. When solid rock Is encountered,
a piston working against the steam
permits tho spike bar to rise enough
to allow the spikes to pass over, but
forces the bar down again when softer
material is encountered. II is claimed
that no matter what position the roller
wheels take on an uneven road the
scarifier will follow tho surface and
tear 1t up to the same depth in the
low as the high places.

IMPROVED ROADS IN THE u. S.
Rhode Island, Smallest State In Union,
Leads With Percentage Of
49.14-Few Facts.

Rhode Island, the smallest state IN
the Union, with an area OF only 1,250
square miles, ranks first of all the
states in it's percentage Of improved
roads. Under the direction of Secre-
tary Wilson. a very comprehensive
statistical investigation OF the mileage
and cost Of public roads In the United
State has recently been completed by
the office Of public roads, United
States department Of agriculture. This
document reveals many interesting
facts. Thus, apparently, It is not be-
cause OF her small size that Rhode
Island is able to boast of 4914 per
cent. OF improved road, for Delaware
with an area of 1850 square miles, has
only e.22 per cent. OF improved roads.
On the other hand, Massachusetts,
with an area of 1915 square miles has
49 per cent of her roads improved or
very nearly the same percentage as
Rhode Island. The size Of the state,
therefore, seems to have little or no
effect on the pe-1entage of improved
roads.
The Investigations further show that
there are 2,1s9.645 miles OF public
roads in continental United States. OF
this vast mileage. only 190.476, or $50
per cent, are -lassed as improved.
AS stated above, Rhode Island leads
with 4e.14 per cent. OF improved roads,
while Massachusetts is second with
40 per cent. Indiana follows with
S6.7 per cent Ohio, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Kentucky, Vermont and Cali
fornia follow IN a descending order.

Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Minnesota, New Hampshire

EXPERIMENT IN COW FEEDING
Result ot Number Of Tests Made by
the North Carolina station on
Rations for MIX.

The North Carolina agricultural ex.
pertinent station recently concluded
a number of experiments 10 determine
the relative efficiency OF narrow and
medium wide rations. for milk produo-
ton. a report of which has reached
the department OF agriculture.
Eight COWS from three to SIX weeks
in lactation we're fed three periods Of
twenty-eight days each. In the first
and third periods the feed consisted
i've parts OF cottonseed meal. four
quarts wheat bran. three parts OF corn
meal and fifty pounds OF corn silage.
The nutritive ratio OF this ration was
about IA.
During the second period tho ration
was tho same as the above except
that 2.5 pounds Of cottonseed meal
was replaced by 2.5 pounds OF corn
meal, giving this ration a nutritive
ration OF about 1.57. The result OF this
test indicates that the narrow ration
produced rs per cent more milk fat,
and increased the fat test o.24 per
cent. and the live weight 80 pounds.
The milk yield was practically the
same.
