FIRES. 



Freeport, N. Y. — There was a serious 

 fire at Charles Leaker's place on 

 Thursday night. December 12th. The 

 wludmill. potting shed and about 

 twenty feet of one house were de- 

 stroyed. 



Norwood, R. I. — Fire, believed to 

 have been set by boys in the nursery 

 adjoining, threatened the greenhouses 

 of Mrs. N. D. Pierce on December 

 10. The damage was confined to a 

 small amount of nursery stocli. 



Somersworth, N. H. — Fire, water 

 and the cold seriously damaged the 

 greenhouses and stock of William H. 

 Wilder, 175 Green street, Somersworth, 

 N. H., early in the morning of Dec. 

 13. During the progress of the fire, 

 which was discovered in the boiler 

 house at midnight, Mr. and Mrs. 

 Wilder narrowly escaped suffocation 

 in the building. They entered the 

 greenhouse to get some garden hose, 

 only to find that the flames had cut off 

 their escape through the boiler house. 

 In the blinding smoke Mr. Wilder 

 found an unused ventilating door, 

 which he forced. The boiler house was 

 totally burned, also the front of the 

 largest hothouse. Much glass was 

 broken by the streams of water, caus- 

 ing the total loss, by the almost zero 

 temperature, of the plants in that 

 structure. The damage is placed at 

 about $1000, of which $400 was on the 

 building.

 New Things 



The old fertilizer 

 formulas are giving 

 way to the new. At 

 every farmers' meeting 

 lone subject should be 

 the fertilizer formula 

 that will furnish a balanced ration to the crop and keep up the fertility 

 of the soil. To do this the fertilizer should contain at least as much 



POTASH 



as Phosphoric Acid. Our note book has condensed facts essential 

 in farmers' meetings and plenty of space to record the new things 

 that you hear. Let us send one to you before your Institute meets. 

 A supply of these is furnished by request to every institute held in several states. 

 We will be glad to send a supply delivered free of charge to every Institute, Grange 

 or Farmers' Club Officer en request. It contains no advertising matter.
