DESTROYED
By Fire Was School House
In Jefferson Tp.
At An Early Hour On Wednes-
day Morning

Greersville, Ohio, March 1.-THE
Pleasant View school house, located in
Jefferson township about one and one
half miles west of this place, was
burned to the ground some time dur
ing the early hours of Wednesday
morning. The cause of the fire is
unknown. The structure was we'll
built and was comparatively new. The
building will entail considerable loss.
The school house was insured for
5000.
When he went to open school for
the day Wednesday morning, Teacher
Harley Vance of Mt. Vernon found
only smouldering heap of charred
timbers and ashes where the building
had stood. The pupils, who arrived
a short time later, we're sent back
home. The origin of the destructive
fire is mystery. 1t is known that
the fire had not started at IL Ucloch
Tuesday night because persons re-
siding in that neighborhood had been
along the road which passes near the
school building at about that time. 1t
was the second school building that
has been burned from the same found
ation. The first was destroyed sew
eral years ago.
Arrangements to take care of the
school classes have not been COM
pleted, but it is expected that school
will be held temporarily in an old
school house which stands near the
site of the one which was destroyed.

ole in providing sumcient amount

plants. SO far as known, but little
damage Ia done to either plants or
roots by this kind Of feediRg. The In.
sects grow 40 slowly that the drain
they make upon the plants attacked is
hardly peroepuble-
Life History and Habits
The adult insects may be looked
for In Ohio In late May or early June
Under normal conditions they are
most likely to appear npmerously dur
ing the last week In May but the bulk
of the brood may come little earlier
OF little later than this, according 70
seasonal conditions. The brood usual
ly lasts for ive or six weeks, disap.
pearing rather suddenly and very com.
pletely during early July.
The eggs hatch In six or seven
weeks after being deposited, the
young escaping from the egg-nests In
the twigs and dropping to the earth
The larvae feed on the roots OF trees
and plants for seventeen years when
they mature, pupate. and emerge
through surface holes about as large
as a mans little finger. Sometimes
they reach the surface several weeks
ahead OF their normal time to appear,
and they construct mud chimneys''
over the ground, delaying emergence
until the proper date and proper
weather conditions are at hand. Many
thousands OF the insects may ascend
from under a single good-sised tree.
Remedies and Preventives
OF Damage
Young orchard trees, newly planted
out, or only transplanted for two or
three years, may have their trunks and
larger limbs wrapped with paper dur.
ing the egg-laying period to prevent
damage, and the unprotected upper
limbs and twigs may be enclosed with
mosquito netting IL not too expanded,
or they should be sprayed with Bor.
daux mixture or lime-sulphur wash
for partial protection. An excess of
lime or little Portland cement In
these sprays is probably desirable.
In most cases it will be best to omit
pruning during the winter and COM
ing spring, since all the wood availa-
BILE is needed to secure as much dis
tinction as possible of the eggs. The
surplus damaged wood can be cut out
and burned while it contains the un-
hatched eggs, or this may be done
the following winter.
All paper, netting, or spray, design
ed for protection, should be on the
trees by the goth Of May in southern
Ohio, and by the 1st Of June In the
northern part of the state to antict-
pate the coming of the insects.
For further details regarding this In
teresting insect, send to the Agricul.
tural Experiment Station, Wooster. O.,
for Circular 142.

WINTERING THE LIVE STOCK
Profits Are Greatly Reduced by Cling
ing to Old Cows and sheep long
Past Their Usefulness.

The keeping of old cows and sheep
long past their usefulness will largely
reduce the profits of the dairyman and
farmer. The better method would be
to have them served, give shelter and
feed and when fresh sell the COW with
the calf. They may be cheaply win
tered on fodder. wheat straw and sec
ond-crop clover hay. Old sheep should
have been sold in the early fall for
what they will bring. II seldom pays
to winter them. Before the cows come
fresh they should be given a little
grain. say four quarts of wheat bran
and one quart of fiaxseed meal well
mixed together. Divide into two equal
parts; give one part In the morning
and the other half in the evening to
each one. This feed will loosen the
hide and greatly improve the appear.
ance OF the stock. Card and brush
them of every morning. This will re-
move the loose hair. The buying Of
thin cows and milked-out COWS from
dairymen who cannot afford to winter
such stock, is found to be a profitable
business by farmers having plenty OF
rough fee. such as fodder, straw and
second-crop clover and stable grasses.
The mild winter has been a great ad.
vantage to dairymen and farmers short
of grain and feed, as much less food
was needed to keep the stock. Econ
omy must be practiced; no grain or
forage should be wasted. Fodder fed
to cattle under cover, having the sheds
heavily bedded and lined on the north
side to keep out the cold winter winds,
may be wintered in good condition
The fodder will last longer and feed
more stock where fed in small quaint
ties in connection with straw and sec
ond-crop hay.

FEED MAKES PIG PROFITABLE
Good Feeder Keeps Improving Hs
Herd In Quality and individuality
GOOD Ration Counts

There are too many farmers and
even breeders who seem to hold the
idea that a pig can feed himself and
that their whole duty ends when they
have supplied the food. A good feed
or can keep improving his herd In
quality and individuality and is there
fore progressive and successful, while
the poor feeder may take the best to
be had, and In five generations be back
to scrubs. This Is the difference be-
tween good feeding and poor feeding
This is where the feeder has more
influence than the feed.
II is a clean waste to give the pig
90 or 80 per cent. of his feed In corn
or meal when perhaps not more than
one-half that amount is needed In
building the various structures OF his
body. The balanced ration Is what
counts. That 10 intended to be com
posed OF such materials as are needed
by the pig to build all of his growth,
TO furnish the bone and the muscle,
and all parts in proper proportion. 1t
ia shown time and again that two val
liable feeds, when combined, make a
better feed than either one separately,
because II comes nearer balancing the
ration.
1t is only OF late that the opinion
Is spreading among farmers In general
that the feeder is one OF the important
factors. both In the success OF breed
or and also that OF pork raiser. The
modern hog is an artificial product.
and is more readily responsive to good
treatment. or the reverse. than any
other farm animal. No matter how
much you may pay for pedigree OF
individuality, II you do not know how
to feed your hogs will be but little bet
ter than scrubs.

Cold Frame.

tomless box is placed and on top of
this box or frame are placed the sash
and glass. All should be close fitted
to prevent the entrance of cold air and
frost.
The surface of the manure is cover
ed with good rich garden soil to the
depth of four or five inches. The ma
nure will begin to heat within a week
after the bed is completed. The seed
should not be sown for several days
after the bed is finished. If very cold
weather ensues after plants have come
up 1t may be necessary to cover the
glass on very cold nights with blankets
or mating. 1t may be necessary to
shade the plants on the brightest sun
NEST days at midday when the air in
the botbed may become too hot. Do
not give the bed too much water,
which Is worse than too little. Plants
usually started in the farmers hotbed
are lettuce, radish, tomato, cucumber,
melon. eggplant and cabbage.

FEW CAUSES FOR POOR GRAIN
Fungi and Bacteria In Seed and Soil
lnJure and Destroy Roots OF Plant,
Says an Expert.

The introduction of harmful fungi
and bacteria into the soil is an i'm.
portant cause of deterioration OF
grains after continued cropping, de-
clared ii. Bolley, professor of bot
any, North Dakota Agricultural col.
lege, in a recent address at the Col
lege of Agriculture of the University
OF Wisconsin. Professor Bolley Is
one of the most eminent plant path
ologists in the country. his early
studies on the potato scab and fax
wilt, and his later investigations of
the diseases of cereals having made
him widely known among scientists.
He believes that fungi and bacteria
resident in the seed, and In the soil,
injure and destroy the roots of plants
and otherwise affect succeeding crops.
The remedy for this is not primarily
fertilization, nor a naturalization OF
soil toxins, but the combating of
fungi and bacteria and by means of
sanitary measures such as seed Sc
lection and disinfection, and crop 70
tation.
