When Fire
Ravaged Chicago
A Renaissance of Nearly Half
a Century Ago.

1t was forty-six years ago, namely,
on October 8, 1871, that one of the
greatest fires of modern times started
in the rapidly growing city of Chicago
Chicago was then practically wood
en- city, even to the sidewalks, and
when, as tradition has it, Mrs.
OLeary's cow kicked over lantern
in stable in the lumber section of the
town, it was not long before a conflag-
ration was raging beyond the power OF
the city's fire department to control.
The fire was not checked until an
area of 1-3 miles had been burned,
over 17,450 buildings were destroyed,
with a property loss of S196,000,000;
100000 people were left homeless and
$50 lost their lives.
All this terrible situation in Chica-
go is wildly brought to mind by a
group of pictures now exhibited in the
window of Finney's Confectionery on
919 Main street. Mr.. J. S. Zeller, the
local agent of the G1ens Falls Insur-
ance Co., has placed these pictures on
exhibition there. The insurance COM
pany intends to issue a series of these
great fire scenes, which are as au-
thentic as it can obtain. Many Of the
scenes were drawn at the time by rep
resentatives of such illustrated papers
as Harper'S Weekly.

FAIRV|EW PEOPLE
DEPRIVED OF STREET
CARS FOR EVENING

Residents of Fairview and the north
half of West Richmond were deprived
of street car service from 1 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon until $50 O'Clock
this morning.
The trouble was caused by the
grounding of high tension wire which
furnishes current to the Fairview line
as the result of an automobile strik.

north side of the National road at the
dangerous curve half way up the hill
which leads west from the temporary

INSPECTOR ENL|STS
BOYS TO TRAP FLYS:
SCHOOLS INTERESTED

Food Inspector George Mckinley moi
only believes in swatting theh fly but
also in trapping the pesky insect.
Today Mckinley was notified by Su
perintendent Giles of the public
schools that he would enlist the boys
in the manual training department OF
the high school to assist Mckinley in
his campaign by the construction OF
number of fly traps, to be distribute
ed over the city. ,.... -...
'Now is the time to begin the fly
determination campaign" Mckinley
said today. II am appealing to every
business concern, every civic organiza.
ton and every householder to join in
the movement. The more traps put
out the less flies there will be. l
think every business house will aid
in the movement by placing traps in
front of and in the rear of their places,
and the householders can do great
work if they will place traps near
garbage and trash recipticles.
these traps should be placed not
later than the first of next month to
catch as many flies as possible before
warm weather increases their num-
ber."

PICTURES TELL STORY
OF CHICAGO BLAZE

Tradition has it that the Chicago
confagration was the result of a
balky COW, owned by Mrs. O'Leary.
The COW kicked over lantern in the
stable and so started the fire that got
beyond the control of the Chicago fire
department. Some idea of this ter
rible conflagration can be gained from
a group of pictures shown in the win
dow Of Finney's Confectionery on
Main street Mr.. j. S. Zeller, the To-
cal agent of the Glens Falls Insurance
company, has placed them there on

WRONG METHODS OF
FEEDING ON SUNDAY
Serious Disorders Often Caused
by Overlooking Animals Which
Are Working Hard.

More work horses are sick on Mon
day than on any other day in the
week. This is good evidence that
something is often wrong with the
method Of feeding on Sunday, de-
clared Dr.. G. w. McCampbell, assocl-
ate professor of animal husbandry in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
"One form Of illness to which the
work horse is subject occurs so often
just following the Sunday rest that It
is popularity known as Monday morn
ing Sickness" said Doctor McCamp-
bell. "This trouble Is noted most fire.
quently in those cases where horses
are working hard, require heavy feed.
ing, and are given the regular feed
on Sunday while they remain idle In
the barn. This is a serious disorder
often resulting in death.
Another common disorder among
work horses on Sunday and Monday
Is collie. In most cases 1t is caused by
heavy feeding while idle, but it may
be caused by a cold, sloppy bran which
is a sure trouble maker. A warm,
steamed bran mash to which a liberal
amount of salt has been added is often
beneficial.
when the horse is working hard
his Sunday feed should be of the same
kind and quality as that which he re-
ceives on other days, but the grain por-
ton Of the ration should be reduced
one-half. II a small pasture Is avail
able and the grass is not too plentiful,
1t would be well to allow him to spend
the day there, especially If he can have
access to shade"

HEEL FLIES PESTER
CATTLE IN SUMMER
Parasites Cause Lumps on Backs
of AnimaIs-Ker0sene Oil
Will Destroy Them.

(By GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado Ag-
ricultural College, Fort Collins. Colo.)
Several letters have been received
lately respecting "lumps" on the backs
Of cattle. One party made the impor-
tant discovery ~ that "wOrms had
eaten big holes through the backs Of
his cattle and were found at the bot
tom eating their way"
Cattle can do very nicely without
these parasites, but the parasites can
not live without their hosts. These
parasites are the larvae of the heel fly.
This fly is about one-half inch long
and looks something like a small black
bee. The flies poster cattle during the
summer months and deposit their eggs
on the hair around the heels and hind
legs. The flies are unable to bite, but
cattle are instinctively afraid of them,
and will run with their tails high in
the air, to the nearest water hole,
when they approach. The eggs are
taken into the stomach by cattle lick
ing themselves, and there they hatch
and the tiny larvae migrate through
the body to their favOrite habitat. BY
spring or early summer the grub is
full grown and makes its escape
through an opening which it has made
and through which it breathes and
discharges its excrement. Falling to

to. corn or kair, and receive the
best cultivation possible.
Twenty-Five to so per cent Of
the wheat land could be disked
after cutting and planted to

having the two crops overlap.
Plant cOwpeas for their feed

Save the manure and apply
five tons an acre.
Make this a banner year fO-
chickens and swine.
More attention should be given
to raising turkeys.
