Horse on The Times which has
brought about the following comment
from our morning contemporary:
Fire Department Handicapped.
To fire yesterday the hose wag-
on from the Central station was haul
ed by the gray team used to handle
|! tthetliook and ladder wagon. This was
because one Of the bay horses attach
ed to the hose wagon was sick. Had
the fire been a more serious one, de-
manding both pieces Of equipment,
they could not have been gotten. out
with the dispatch that characterizes
the local fighters.
Sin tltesold days, an extra horse
was kept In the department to take
the place Of any regular animal
which might happen to be incapaci-
tated.. The new administration con-
Isidered the presence of the fifth AMI
mar an extravaganza and 1t was sold.
1t isssaid, for about $35 OF real mon
ey. Now. another Horse, which nee
essarily slassto be- purchased, will
cost not less than $3.50. All. of which
goes. to show tlat TASTY action on the,
part of amateurs is often costly.
'In3the meantime, let us hope that
luck"wfll favor the city, preventing
the breaking out Of a serious confla-
grafton which might result in giving
the local department the name now
suffered by those in nearby towns

SAYS GERMANS. LOST
MUCH VALUABLE TINE |
Correspondent Makes Trip Along
Belgian Front.

Brussels, Aug. 13, via Paris.-On
the report that operations on an ex-
tensive scale were imminent cor
respondent, by permission Of the war
control body, made q circuit along
twenty miles of the Belgian front,
visiting the extreme advance and
talking with the officers and men.
The Belgians are on the alert. as
important bodies of German cavalry
are making their way through the
country above Liege, proceeding in
the direction of Tongres and St.
Trond.
The impression Of the correspond
ent is that no heavy fighting is likely
in Belgian Limburg. where the Ger
mans have little or no infantry. By
the opposition offered by the Belgian
troops at Lege the Germans lost
precious time, which was profitably
employed by the French and British
in concentrating masses at conven-
lent points.

THE RASPBERRY PATCH
Old Canes Shonld BE Cut Out and New
Ones pruned i

just now the question which is cor
fronting the farmer is what treatmens
he is to give the plantations which
have borne berries this season. It has
been found that the best treatment IS
to cut out the old canes as soon as
they are done bearing. The new canes
should also. be cut to the proper num-
Der in each place, usually about five.
The material which has been cut out
should be carried out of the patch and
burned. In this way much decay and
other fungus trouble will be avoided.
There are also many insects in the va
rious stages from eggs to adult which
are destroyed by this practice. An
other thing that is gained is the better
development Of the canes which are
to bear next year. They get more sun
light by such plan.
When the canes have been cut out
and burned, it is a good plan to cul-
tivate between the rows, string up
the ground which has been tramped
by the pickers and putting it in fine
condition for the continued growth OF
the plants.-R. P. Speer, Formerly Of
University Farm, St. Paul.
