cunard Liner Pannonia Took or
Spanish Vessels Passengers and
lowed Her to Port.

Hamilton. Bermuda, Nov. 1.-THE
Spanish steamer Balmes. with its cot
ton cargo on fire, was towed into St.
Georges Harbor by tugs and conveyed
by the Cunard lined Pannonia. The
Cunarder had on board 1913 passengers
of the Balmes, taken off the burning
ship in mid-ocean after answering the
wireless calls for help.
When the Balmes came to anchor
IN the harbor its matches were lifted.
Great clouds of smoke belched forth,
but powerful pumps soon sent tons OF
water into the hold and drowned out
the fire. The steamer is in good
condition except for the damage done
by the water and the fire in its cargo
The Pannonia continued on its way
to New York.
The fire on the Balmes was discov.
cred Wednesday night at II o'clock,
while the steamer was blowing east
ward on it's trip to Cadiz, Spain, from
Galveston and Havana. The flames
were in hold No. and spread rapidly,
the smoke penetrating to the engine
room and the stokehold. The second
engineer and several members of the
crew were partly suffocated, but stuck
valiantly to their posts.
The wireless operated, by direction
of Captain Ruiz, then began sending
out calls for assistance. The call
reached the Pannonia, some 1870 miles
to the north, bound for New York. and
Captain Robert Capper answered. The
British cruiser Suffolk also answered
the Balmes' plea, but its message was
indistinct.

The control and eradication of hog

Hogs must have pure water. Hos
cholera is like typhoid, The English

was spread by the great number Of
hogs that drank from ponds Tie
farmers that gave their hogs well

NURSERY TREES.
Proven That They Do Not Exhaust
the Land Of Its Fertility.

All experience proves that crop Of
nursery trees does not exhaust the
land of its fertility, says T. Il. Peyton,
Cooper county, Missouri. In fact, it is
generally considered that land from
which trees have been moved is in the
very best condition for a crop of wheat
or potatoes.
The best nursery lands are those
which contain basis of clay, and
these are the ones which soonest sui
fer under unwise treatment. The land
is kept under high culture. and is.
therefore. deeply pulverized. There
is practically no herbage on the sol,
TO protect it during the winter.
The soil, deeply broken and robbed
OF its humus, runs together and ce-
ments itself, and IL then requires
'rest" in clover or other herbaga crop
to bring H. back to its rightful condi
ton.
