There must, indeed, be a very
living here now who personally reca
tacular fire of SO years ago, when
ton of Washington was about one
eighth what it is now and at
period when the excitement here
was about as intense as it ever
was or ever will be.
THE writer became very much
u interested in the picture and
sought the columns of The Star
for the particulars. This is what
he found under date of May 10,
1861:
This morning the fine new
building owned by Mr.. Samuel
Owens and known as Fields
Building was totally destroyed
by fire, the occupants not even
saving their personal effects. The
lower floors were occupied by Mr..
Owens as a merchant tailor and
by Mr.. d. j. Bishop, bookseller.
A Geographic Office was also in
the building, but everything about
the Office was saved. The upper
stories were occupied by Mr.. Field
as hotel. This building, it will be
remembered, was fired about a
month ago, but the fire was dis
covered before it had made much
Roadway.
About half-past fire was dis
covered issuing from the roof near
the center of the building on the
side next to Wizards Hotel. Mr..
willard Immediately attached the
hose to the water cocks in the
several stories of his hotel, and
conducting them through the win
dow extinguished the fire, cutting
a hole through the roof in order
to reach it more effectively. His
guests in the meantime were quiet
ed, and the alarm was about sub
siding when, just as the fire in the
roof had been put out, the whole
basement burst out in sheet of
flames, having been fired in sew
eral places.
Col. Mansfield Immediately sent
for Col. Ellsworth's Fire zouaves
at the Capitol, who made their
appearance in a twinkling, and,
manning the engines, mounting
roofs and climbing in at windows,
soon cleared the progress of the
fire and finally succeeded in ex-
tinguishing it.
when the fire was at its height,
a small national flag fell from the
rear of the building, attracting the
attention of a squad Of recession
lists in the vicinity, who nudged
each other, remarking, There,
there, that's the way they'll all go
before long The Zouaves imme-
diately caught up the flag and
waved it, amid considerable cheer
ing, while Mr.. Willard ran up from
his hotel two large flags, which
the immense crowd greeted with
perfect roar of cheers, the Zouaves
shouting, They shall never be
hurnti' 'Thev Shan't come DOWN.

Cow Not Unlike a Threshing
Machine.

Because a dairy cow takes raw
products like hay and grain and
converts them into milk, the Blue
Valley Creamery Institute likens
her world to that, of a threshing
machine, which will separate the
grain from the straw, so will a
good COW take from the feeds she
eats the elements required for max
ing milk.
If the threshing machine is fed
only straw, grain cannot be expect
ed to drop from the grain spout.
Likewise, if cow does not receive
milk-making feeds she cannot be
expected to put much milk in the
pail. AS milk is made up largely
of protein, in addition to butter
fat, sugars, minerals and water. a
cow must be fed feeds rich in these
particular elements. AS protein is
most often lacking in ordinary
form grown feeds, this element
needs to be furnished in every dairy
cow ration before the cow can be
expected to produce milk. That is
the reason why it is so important
to feed legume hay, such as alfalfa,
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1930-02-13

the clovers, soybeans, all of which
are high in protein. When these
legume hays are not available, pro-
tein can be supplied in the grain
ration by including protein-rich
concentrates like oil meal, cotton
seed meal, gluten feed, etc.
There is only one way to feed
milk cows economically and that is
to give them all the feeds they
need to keep in good condition, and
on top of that, all the additional
feed they require for making their
maximum production of milk. The
usual rule is to feed cows in milk
all the good legume hay they will
eat and give them grain at the
rate of one pound of grain to each
three to four pounds of milk they
produce in a day. Where silage is
available, still more efficient and
cheaper ration can be made up.

mendaton made for this section of
the state, says Theodore Fenske,
of the Agronomy and Soils Depart
ment at the West Central School
and Station at Morris. Experiments
that have been carried on in CO
operation with a number of farm
ers in this territory show that on
some farms very beneficial results
are obtained from the use of COM
mercial fertilizers carrying nitro
gen or potash in addition to phos-
phorus, while on other farms the re-
turns do not justify the money ex-
pended. These results point out in
a striking manner the advisability
of trying out various fertilizers in
a small way before spending any
large sums of money.
The three elements used to the
greatest extent by feeding plants
are nitrogen, PHOSPHORUS and po-
fash. AS general proposition,
there is no need of purchasing nj
trogen in the form of commercial
fertilizer because the legume crops,
such as clover and alfalfa, have
the power of taking nitrogen from
the air and fixing it in the soil. BY
growing legume crops at regular
intervals in rotation, the nitrogen
supply will, to large extent, be
taken care of. Nevertheless, some
farmers in West Central Minneso-
ia are finding it profitable to use a
nitrogen fertilizer, especially with
corn.
Experiments, over a long period
of years, at the West Central Sta
ton, and a great number of COOP
erative tests on farms, show that
the elements most likely to be
lacking in this section of the state
is PHOSPHORUS. Recent experiment.
tai work conducted on farms in
Stevens County brought out the
fact that in some cases potash may
also be lacking. AS yet, the evil
dence is not conclusive enough to
warrant general recommendation
regarding potash.
Mr.. Fenske suggests that farm
ers who are interested in finding
out what their soil needs, try out a
bag of each of the kinds of ferti-
lizer they think might be Of value.
One strip should be left untreated
as a check. Another could receive
an application of treble superphos-
plate at the rate of one hundred
pounds to the acre. If potash de-
fciency is supected it might be we'll
to try complete fertilizer, one
with formula of about 2-12-14,
that is, two per cent nitrogen, IL
per cent PHOSPHORUS and IA per
cent potash, at the rate of one hun
dred pounds per acre. Other COM
binations could also be tried. If a
lower grade of fertilizer is used
the amount per acre must be in
creased in proportion.
Ordinarily the best way to ap-
ply fertilizer to grain or alfalfa
is to broadcast it. When used with
corn, a corn planter attachment is
desirable and the fertilizer is
dropped near the hill. In such cas-
es fifty pounds per acre will be
sufficient, although succeeding
crops do not show the response as

Minnesota Egg Production

During the year 1929 Minnesota
hens produced $4,000 dozen
more eggs than in 1928. On ac-
count of this increased production
together with a higher average
yearly price, the gross farm value
of egg production in this state was
estimated to be $2,524,OOO greater
than in 1928. This is shown in a
report just made public by N. ].
Holmberg, Commissioner of the
Agriculture, Dairy and Food De-
partment.
The estimated total farm produc-
ton of eggs for the year 1929 was
las, 975,000 dozen with a gross farm
value of $4O,292,OOO. In 1928 the es-
timated production was LA, FOG, 900
dozen with a gross farm value Of
$37, 10000. The weighted average
yearly price per dozen in 1929 was
1858 cents, compared with 26.1
cents for 1928.
1t is interesting to note that in
1929 the gross farm value of all
spring and winter wheat, based on
December 1 farm prices, amounted
to only $21,005,000; barley, $2S,512,-
600; flax, $13,509,OOO; and potatoes,
SEE, $4,000. When the farm value
of eggs produced is compared with
the above crops it shows the i'm
portance and magnitude OF the
poultry industry in Minnesota.

New Enrolment Record at West
Central School of Agriculture


According to figures just re-
leased by E. J. Volden, Registrar
at the West Central School of Ag-
riculture at Morris, the enrolment
at that institute for the present
school year has shown a decided
increase over that of last year and
exceeds that of any previous year
of the school. Up to the present
time Mr.. Volden says there have
been three hundred eighty eight
students registered for the school
year as compared with three hun
dred thirty two students last year.
Of the four State Agricultural
Schools, the Norris School leads all
excepting the Central School at st.
Paul. The increase in enrolment
is attributed to better conditions
on the farms and renewed opti-
mism in the farm business. Inter-
est in all of the Agricultural cours-
es offered at the School has never
been greater according to the
authorities of the farm school. This
condition is also true at the other
Agricultural Schools, at st. Paul,
Crookston and Grand Rapids.
Beginning with an enrolment of
one hundred three students in the
school year of 1901, when the
school was first established, the
enrolment figures of the Morris
School have shown a steady in
crease and it is expected that a
new record will be established next
year when the school will have in
creased dormitory facilities and
! the new Physical Education build
! ing will be completed. A survey of
the enrolment figures shows that
I not until 1918 did the enrolment
pass the two hundred mark and in
1924 the three hundred mark was
passed and Mr.. Volden states that
next year he anticipates the four
hundred mark will be passed. It is
also interesting to note that the en-
rollment in girls is decreasing as
years go by and at the present
time approximately one third Of all
students attending the school are
girls registered in the courses in
home training, music, commercial
training, and college preparatory
subjects. Until recent years only
approximately one fourth of the
students in school were young wo-
men. The distribution of students
now attending West Central School
of Agriculture covers a wide area
throughout western Minnesota
with number of the counties be.

In addition to the regular cour-
ses offered at the West Central
School, several short courses are
offered during the year and the en-
rollment in all courses during the
past year made a total of one
thousand forty six students.
