BOLT DESTROYS
FARM BUILDING

Brakeman Buildings Also
Fired When Lightning
Strikes Aerial.

One building was destroyed and
others narrowly evaded destruction
when lightning bolts visited the Fin
layson and Pine lake communities
during storms of the past week.
During the heavy rain storm Sun
day evening between $50 and 6
o'clock a bolt of lightning struck the
barn on the farm owned by Mrs. An
drew MikkoIa about three miles north
west of Finlayson, completely destroy
ing it and its contents of harness and
other equipment, and hay shed ad-
joining which had only recently been
filled from a stack out of doors. Mrs
Mikkola was alone ON the farm, as
her son, Fred Mikkola, was in Min
neapolis. She had just put the cattle,
consisting of five milk cows and six
calves. in the barn and had gone to
the house for milk pals, when the
bolt struck. As the telephone was out
of order she could not call help, so
tried to get the stock out alone. She
was successful in getting out the five
cows before the flames became too
close for her to re-enter the building.
The dense black smoke soon at
tracted attention from the whole coun-
tryside and a large crowd gathered.
The men were able to keep the house
from catching fire, although for a
while it seemed as if it would burn
too, but a bucket brigade kept the
roof wet until the danger was past.
Several men stayed to help milk the
cows and get the furniture back into
the house One small out building
was torn down to prevent other nearby
buildings from catching. Mrs. Mix
kola, who is past so years of age, by
quick action and bravery saved
her stock. The barn was partially
insured but no coverage was had on
the stock. 1t is not known at this
time what plans will be made to re-
build.
Brakeman Buildings Fired.
During heavy storm Friday morn
ing the barn on the Otto Brakeman
farm, on the south end of Pine
lake was struck by a cold bolt OF
lightning, which followed the radio
aerial from the barn to the house
setting fire to both buildings, but by
prompt work on the part of the fam
lily both fires were eXtinguished with
only a small amount of damage being
done. Mr.. Brakeman bought this
farm known as the Datwyler farm
about two years ago and has improved
il considerably since.

The cutworm morn lays her eggs

When the eggs hatch, the worms feed
for while and then enter the ground
where they make little nest for the

and feed on the vegetation available.
1t is recommended that the garden he

nests and many will be killed.
In the spring keep the land free
from grass and weeds and put out
