Serious Fire. - Fire which for a time threatened the entire business section on King street here, was dis- covered about 9 a,rn, Tuesday in the men's furnishing store of T. W. Palmer & Sons. Although the upstairs is used as a dwelling place by members of the Palmer family, the fire was not dis- covered until Mr. Palmer came down to open up his place for business at 9 o'clock. When he opened the door the store was found to be filled with smoke. ITe immediately turned in an alarm but the flames had gained such headway that little could be dome to save the personal belongings or any of the stock. Fanned by a brisk wind, the flames threatened for a time to reach nearby buildings, but the valiant work . of the villagers and members of the fire- fighting force with the engines kept it confined to the Palmer store. It was nearly noon before the fire was got- ten, under control. The building, which was owned by J. W. Ortwein, was almostcomplete- ly destroyed and the stock was ruin ed. 'Che building and stock were part- ly covered by insurance. The fire was thought to have start- ed from an overheated stove,.

(Contributed by Oniarto Dopa awe nt of agriculture, 'Toronto.) High<effnciency at a very low shel- ter or building equipment most Is more easily obtained in swine rear- tug by the use of the Colony house system than any other method. , expensive Piggeries a Blunder Physically. On farms where but one or two brood sows are kept and these have to rustle around the barnyard and hunt part of their food and arrange their own sleeping quarters beneath the straw stack, one-aeldom sees dis- eased, unthrifty or crippled pigs. In. contrast to the "little aecuntaroda- (ion" that the farm yard affords, we have the pig palet=s or expensive pig- geries. The hoit of the expcusivc• structures -do no better tar us than the barnyard tticuonly .one or two brood sows and their families art' considered. ?daily of these structures have proven to be much too heavy. a charge to marry, in that the results were frequently unsatisfactory and that there was always au interest charge against the investment. Sanitation es Important as Feeding. veryimportant fac- torSanitation is a for in swine rearing, in fact just as much so as feeding, During the summer period when swine are given the freedom of fields or wood lot - natural conditions - the question of sanitation bas not to be considered, but just as soon as the pig is en- closed, or kept under conditions that are Jetting away from nature the question of sanitation at once be- comes apparent, and If neglected trouble follows. The pigs are healthy when out on the clean fresh soil, and the farther we get them away from such surroundings the more likely we are to have trouble. The colony house has been used by many farmers and breeders with success, but its use can be extended to every farm where pigs are kept. In the milder sections where the tempera- tures are not below zero for very long periods the colony house can be successfully used during the entire year to the complete exclusion of the expensive permanently situated large Piggery. Expensive Buildings a Mistake Financially. Swine are kept by the majority of, farmers with the intention that pro- fit shall result from the undertaking. The chance of making a profit is in- fluenced by a number of factors, one of which is the overhead or equip- ment charge anainet the operation. If a farmer bus a 02,000 piggery building then the first $200 received front swine sales each year goes to paying Interest un the building in- vestuien:. It the atone number of swine could he produetd In buildings coating bttt el00 thein the amount that would have to be taken from the yearly swine sales to pay over- head or Interest on building equip- ment would be only $10. The greater the building equipment per animal unit, the greater the portion of sales receipts that, must go to pay for that building equipment, The barnyard reared pig will have but little charg- ed against him under buildings or shelter, but the barnyard capacity is generally limited to one litter or the family of one sow. Many farmers desire to keep more than one sow, hence the necessity for building equipment of some sort especially for the use of the swine. Piggeries hav- ing accommodation for the litters of four to six sows will require an eight pen buiiding with feed room ac- commodation costing if fairly well constructed not leas than $1,600, or at the rate of $200 per pen. An equal amount of money would build five colony houses and a fdeding stied with storage cement floor and hurdles for yard divisions, A very good colony house can be built for $100, or a cheaper structure can be put to- gether for half that amount, With the increasing eost of building ma- terial and labor and a correspond- ing paring down of profits in swine rearing the colony house will be a greater factor in the future than It has been in the past. 1f you are interested in colony houses or other shelter for swine write to the De- partment of Agriculture at Toronto. -L. Stevenson, Toronto Mineral Feeds Prevent Breakdown In Swine. Through the feeding of mineral supplements to swine it ass been found possible to prevent much of the lose exuded by breaking down of hogs before or when they are . sent to market. Hogs that are given nkimmi'.k, tankage or leguminous pasture com- monly possess strength of bone suffi- cient for heavy feeding. Feeding additional mineral supplements, how- ever, increases the strength o1- bone.. Bonemeal flavored with about ten per cent, of tankage and fed at the rate of one pound per day for each 100 pounds of live weight fulfills the necessary mineral requirements. The need for feeding mineral sup- plements comes under. artificial con- ditions, as when hogs are confined in dry lot, or where they receive but lit- tle legumunlous roughage, and for pure-bred breeding animaIs. When selecting potatoes for seed see that the potatoes are thoroughly ripened, and exercise the, greatest care to avoid any Injury to the tuber. HMO FARM HELPERS Girds 4Work.

The Bird is the Cupid Farm Help. A meadow lark will eat each day weed seeds and insects in quautitY greater than its own body weight. Four ounces of weed seeds or young, grasshoppers each day on an avlerege for the year would mean the destruc- tion of over 90 pounds to a year. Twenty 'meadow larks ou the Lerm would consume a ton of weed seed during the year, A ton of weed seed gathered fromthe fields may seem like delivering a large order, but a little flock of meadow larks will do it. Are such birds worth protecting? If you saw a little meadow lark perched be- side a hundred pound sack of weed seeds, the gathering of which repre- sented hie year's work, don't you think your heart would soften and you would apare the bird's life? The normal man who appreciates a good friend will not injure nor will he permit any. one else to Injure the insect and weed destroying birds of our meadow lands, The Robin No Mere Fruit Thief. Is the robin a cherry thief? No, this bird has a perfect right to satisfy his hunger by consuming a few cher- ries in season in the orchard where he works as an insect destroyer for six months of the year watnout any wage contract. The few cherries and other domestic fruits that robins take during June and July make up less than one-third of their food for that short period. During all the rest of the season, from March to October, the robin feeds largely on insects that infest the orchard and garden.. If it were not for the good work of the robin, many attempts at vegetable production would fail. Vegetable gar- dens and small fruit plantations are largely at the mercy of the cut -worm. Redbreast a Great Devourer of Cut- koi'ms. The robin is the best cut -worm hunter that we have, ilia daily capac- ity when the hunting is good and there are hungry nestlings to feed, is not leas than 300 cut -worms per day. Any bird that will destroy 300 cut -worms each day during the sea- son when the garden vegetables are getting' started is certainly worthy of the respect of all people. The taking of a few cherries or an odd straw- berry by the robin is just to change the taste in his mouth after consum- ing so many .wiggly worms, Be broad-minded, and protect the robin. Only the meanest of narrow-minded people will destroy such a useful bird.. Protecting,irr'nit From Birds. If every single cherry must be re- served for sale, and robins abound, cover the tree with wire netting or old fish net or else put up a cherry clack or old auto -horn In the tree. The period of cherry raiding is short, since the birds prefer the wild fruit and will go to the fenee rows as soon as they are ripe, leaving the culti- vated fruit. Protect the meadow lark from the boy with a gun, and protect the robin from people who do not 'know any better than to de= atroy a useful servant. The farm birds make life possible for us all. - L.

It is only a contented, willing, thrifty and competent wife that can Provide adequately for the needs of the farmer and keep social atmo- sphere of the farm so wholesome and pleasant that work becomes a joy to the family and to such help as may be employed. One of the shames of farm life is that such services are accepted as a matter of course, and that little, if any, recognition is given for the important place taken by the wife and mother in making the farm financially, successful and the home a tit . place in which to rear a family. One of the best definitions 1 have heard of an ideal farm is "A home witha farm business attached." If this view were to be commonly ac- ceptedthe plane of living on farms would be much higher than it now is, and the duties and influence of the home manager would be put on a par with the duties and influence of the farm manager. Then the farm bust- uess would become a partnership in fact, Meat Consumption F'igur'es.
