Since its organization the AgRi-

the School of Agriculture on its
membership list and a dozen and
more of farmers of the community,
in all 81 members at present. The

OLD BRICK YARD STRUCTURE
BURNED

Fire, which started about mid
night last Sunday, destroyed the
frame building housing the old
brick kilns, located on the Andrew
Tufte farm at the southeast limits
of the city. The brick yards have
long been abandoned and the sheds
themselves were of little value, but
traction engine and separator, be.
longing to David Green and a
seeder, owned by Joseph Johnson,
which were stored there, constituted
loss amounting to over $500.
There was no insurance on any of
the property.
The manufacture of brick on the
site was commenced over thirty
years ago by C. G. Knowles. Peter
Till, of Belle Plains, Mimi, built up
the first yards there in 1894, and he
sold out to Hooks & Evans, of ST.
Paul, and they operated it until in
1890, when the plant was destroyed
by FIRE. In 1899 Geo. Theo. Smith
purchased the property and rebuilt
the kilns and sheds and operated it
for about three years, since which
time it had been idle.
The origion or the fire is unknown.

purpose is the promotion of inter-

agricultural problems of the day.
1t serves also to give it's members
experience in public meeting work
and in carrying out a variety of
functions incident to promoting any
line of activity. These matters will
all be mentioned in the course of

1t is an opportunity for large
piece of helping and the members
will be ready TO do full service. In
this the club will work in conjunc-
ton with the local committee of
the Farmers Fair and Institute
that conducted the meeting last
December.
At its last meeting the A. R. F.
C. voted to hold its meeting at the
time of the proposed Stock Show
and arrange an evening meeting
and banquet for all interec -ed in
the Show and others. The plan is
to make admission general and
each pay for his own plate at the
banquet. There is to be a speaker
of authority on farm animals that
evening. This is a good time for
men of the farm and town who are
interested in agriculture in general
to join the AgRiFallian Club and
help in its work and enjoy some of
its good things. w. S. WELLES

whole.
The first meeting was held the
latter part of November and was
an oyster supper to all members,
given by the officers of the club.
The next was an open meeting with
everybody invited. The program
of that evening was quite attractive.
Since that time there have been
meetings each month on the third
Thursday night. In general these
meetings have been pretty largely
agricultural in the topics discussed.
The chief event in the years list
for the club so far was the January
banquet in honor of DR. E A. Win
ship of Boston. That banquet was
prepared and served by the Domes-
tic Science Department of the Nor
NAL and the g 0 P. society. The
