$500 Fire at North Brewer

$500 Fire at North Brewer
The house of Hugh Nicholson at COS
North Main street, North Brewer, was
totally destroyed by fire Thursday
night, with a damage of $500, fully
covered by insurance. The fire broke
out at Ills o'clock and owing to the
distance and consequent late arrival
of the firemen a bucket brigade was
formed, but was found impossible to
stay the flames. Adjoining buildings
which were in danger at one time
were saved, among which were the
Methodist Episcopal parsonage across
the street. The house was unoccupied.
The buildings consisted of a story
and a half frame building, ell and
shed. The fight against the fire was
made most difficult owing to the alb
sence of hydrants in that part of the
city.

PLACE FOR HEN TO SCRATCH
Dat Straw Found TO BE as Cheap as
Anything Else in Long Run-5uck-
wheat Is Too Fattening.


There are a number Of different ma
terials which furnish an excellent
place for the hens to scratch in, says
a writer in the Poultry Journal.
Leaves are probably the stuff most
used by the small poultrymen. These
are good if gathered when perfectly
dry. They must be put into the pens
every few days, because the poultry
will break them into dust by their
continual scratching. / find oat straw
about as cheap in the long run, be-
cause it lasts quite while and fur
nishes some feed If fed before thresh-
ing.
Some of my neighbors have tried
feeding buckwheat as a scratching
material and feed combined. Buck
wheat is too fattening and should be
used only occasionally Corn husks
make an excellent scratching material.
Shredded or cut corn fodder does
very well il there is nothing else on
hand. | do not like any form Of
meadow grass or swale for scratching
material because it mats down toe
much when cut and not enough when

RAPE. PASTURE FOR THE HOGS
Very Rank Growth on One Acre May
Supply Feed for Twenty-Five Head
Seed In Spring.

(By DEAN MUMFORD Of the Missouri
Experiment Station)
A good growth Of rape will supply
pasture for 10 to 20 hogs to the acre
A very rank growth may supply feed
for rs head. Where the feeding is
to extend from 10 to IA weeks it is
advisable to pasture rape at the rate
of 10 to IL head to the acre
The favorable time for seeding rape
is in the spring as soon as danger Of
hard freezing is past. 1t will furnish
pasture from the middle Of May until
the third week in August. Rape will
Withstand light frosts, but not hard
freezing. The best results are OBJ
tanned when oats and clover are sown
with it. Sow from five to seven pounds
Of rape ahead of the drill and then
drill in one-half bushel of oats and
six to ten pounds of clover seed to
the acre The rape and oats will serve
as cover crop for the clover and
usually good stand of clover will be
obtained that may be pastured with
hogs the following year.
II rape is not grazed too closely in
Tune and July, SO that the stalk OF the
plant is eaten off, it may grow up
and make fall pasture 1t should never
be pastured SO closely as to destroy
all leaves on the stalk, and stock
should not be turned on until the
plants are from IA to IS inches high.
Complaint is sometimes made by
eeders that scabs and cores form on
he ears and backs of the hogs on
APE. The remedy is to move the
nogs to another pasture for a ehort
lime and then dip them or apply sui
1hur and lard to the sores.

Side View Of inexpensive Dairy House.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The department of agriculture as
the result Of a great demand for In
formation relating to the construction
of dairy buildings started line of IN
vestigation through it's dairy special
lists for the purpose of developing the
basic principles of such construction.
In order to make the work thoroughly
practical, these studies were extended
to the planning and actual supervision
of construction of number Of dairy
buildings In different sections Of the
country. Few localities will require
or even permit Of the same treatment
SO far as exposure, size, form, or
building material are considered, but
the problem of light, floors, ceilings,
etc, are nearly alike in all cases.
Stable for "a Cows.
The plan shown is designed for "a
COWS, and allows ample room for calf
pen and box stalls for bull and COWS.
also space for feed room, hay chute,
wash room and silo The amount Of
space allowed for the various pur-
poses will meet the usual require
ments. The arrangement of the
space can be adapted to the needs of
the particular location.
Special Features Common to All Well
Planned Barns.
The width OF this barn is 81 feet 4
inches outside. This allows ample
room for the stalls and passageways.
While the length here shown is 70
feet inches, this depends on the
number of cows to be handled The
side wills are built of brick or CON
crete up to the window stills, the bal
ance Of the walls being frame The
end walls are constructed of brick or
concrete up to the ceiling A parti-
ton extends across the barn so that
the cow stable can be entirely shut
off from the rest of the barn.
Windows.
One Of the faulty points in ordinary
barn construction is the small amount
of window space usually allowed. This
plan provides approximately square
feet for each COW. 1t will be noted
from the elevation that the windows
are sliding sash extending to the cell
ing, making them nearly twice as
high as they are wide. This arrange
ment will admit much more light than
the same space if the windows were
placed otherwise

The manger is planned to be 2 feet
