The county teachere'asaodatioa met in Humphrey last Saturday, and Sup't Leavy reports the meeting an extra good one in many ways.

Miss Cogil, who was on the program for a paper, "The School from a Teacher's Standpoint," was not present, but her place was ably filled by D. C O'Connor, of Norfolk.

Last Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock, Mary, the little four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mm H. F. Mielenz, pulled the cloth from the parlor table on which rested a Urge lighted lamp. When the lamp broke, flames immediately spread to carpets, curtains, wall paper, eta, and to the clothing of the little girL Mm Mielenz aa quickly as possible, carried the child to the rain barrel which stood outside the kitchen door but before she could extinguish the flames Mary had her left side from hip down burned se verely, and Mrs. Mielenz burned both hands badly in saving her child. The furniture was entirely ruined and the walla of the room damaged to a great extent. An alarm of fire was sounded, but before the firemen arrived neighbors had succeeded in quenching the flames with water furnished by the bucket brigade. The residence, which is the third building north of the M. E. church, is owaed by Bev. Olcott. As the Nebraska hog is simply a machine to root the mortgage off the farm, or in other words, a good money making investment, it is well to look after .the quarters of the sows at farrow ing time. Most of the well-to-do farmers around Columbus have hog houses built on much the same plans, still there are hardly two alike in every particular. As nine out of every ton hog raisers prefer to have their pigs farrowed either in February or March it is well to construct the hog house in such a manner as to let the sun into each pen, as the sun's warm rays is to a small pig aa it is to a blade of grass. Of several houses visited within the last week where hogs are raised in large numbers, the building on the ranch of Ziegler k Gerrard at Monroe is by far the best seen. It is built tight and warm (Mr. Z. claims no frost this winter,) and the windows are so arranged as to let the sun into each compartment. The area is 18x50 feet with a steam cooker in one corner, which, of course, helps to keep the room comfortable. Any of our readers who think of building might get a few pointers by calling on Mr. Ziegler. In a paper read by J. C Stevens on "Nebraska's Water Supply" at the recent irrigation meeting held in Lincoln he made this reference to the Loup river: "The streams heretofore mentioned show that daring some seasons an infinite ratio exists between the maximum and minimum discharge. But now we come to a river where those conditions do not exist. I refer to the Loup in which this ratio ia aometimee as low ss 1 1-2 for the season and seldom reaching about four. The lowest actual measurement made on this river since continuous records were begun in 1895 waa at Columbus in July, 1901, which showed a discharge of 1,211 second feet. The greatest amount similarly found at the same station was on August 10, 1902, giving a discharge of 735 cubic feet per second. The ratio of this maximum to minimum for these streams in eight yeara is 6134. The ex ceptional uniformity in the flow of this river is nicely illustrated in a diagram published in the fourth biennial report of the state board of irrigation, entitled, 'Nebraska and Colorado streams, com parative mean discharges for six years. 1895 to 1900 inclusive,' showing at a glance the means for the six years of the mean daily discharges for the months of April, May, Jane, July, August, Sep tember and October of the Loup at Columbus, North PUtte at Camp Clarke, Arkansas at Caaon City and the Cache LaPondreatFortCoUiasL The agricul tural district in the neighborhood of Owsley, Colorado, depended entirely upon the Poadre river for its water supply, has a world-wide reputation.
