This week the Times-Advocate has
on exhibit a stalk of pats that meas

EIRE DESTROYS
THRESHING
The large bank
of Henry Hodgins,
of Corbett, on the towhiline between McGillivray and Steph^i townships,
was completely destroyed by fire,
with its contents and new thresh
ing machine," the lattch1 owned by
James Germotte, on Saturday after
noon. The loss included the entire
hay crop and a number of hogs that
were ready for’ market. The loss,
which is heavy, Is partially covered
by insurance. The fife originated
from some unknown cadse in the in
terior of the threshing machine,
which' was sitting outside the barn,
during the threshing of ’alsike clover.
The flames were carried,; up the blow
er, which had been blowing the straw
and chaff into the barji, and spread
rapidly, the barn being quickly des
troyed. Mr. Germotte . had left the
Hodgins barn only a short time be
fore to go to a farm near Grand
Bend, where another of his machines
was working,. The man left in
charge of tlie machine tried to get
it away from tire, burning barn, but
stalled the tractor, and the thresher
had to be left behind.
