A caroful examination of the dry

larger than would at first bo supposed,
It may bo said that tboso lands bavo
become too high priood to uso for
pasture, but unloss tbo land oan show
a not profit on tho orop in an avorago
year which will pay tho fixed charges
on tho land, then the oxoess value

bo used as a basin upon which to es
tablish land values or dotermino sys

HOW ABOUT AN IOK POND?

erate expense by tho average former.
A low place on tbo farm, sometimes
unfit for cultivation, if but 40 feet
squaro may bo used to excellent ad
vantage as a pond for ioo, It is not
necessary to oxoavato it moro than
two foet deep, When dug it may bo
puddled by herding a drovo of oattlo,
sheop, or bogs in it. When proporly
puddled, thoro nood bo littlo fear that
water will seop away. A pond was
oxoavated and puddlod at tho Univer
sity farm at Lincoln for ornamental
purposes whioh is never dry. It is
atimatod by tho agricultural enci
nooring department of tho farm that a
pond 45 feet in diameter duriug a

broke out at 12:30 o'alook in the ele

woro a complete loss, with 800 tons of
hard and soft coal. The loss is cover
ed by iusuranoe. Tho fire had gained
considerable headway when discovered
by John Collins, manager of thn ele
vator. An alarm was tonnded and
citizenB of the place responded, A
bucket brigade fought the flames aud
saw success in Right 'Until the Bur

out. The blazo broke out again, oat

stood only a few yards to the nortu of
tho coal sheds. Tho nearest well was
more than a.quartor of a milo distant.
A general alarm was sounded. Tho
publio sohool was dismissod and child

toward tbo firo, carrying pails of water.
Collins took the organization in hand
nnd ordered every availablo team and
wagon to be brought to the main part
