Corn, soy beans, velvet beans, peas and peanuts should be selected and carefully tored. Seed may be scarce next spring. Don't fail to plant cabbages-while the fall crop is large, it is thought there will be a heavy demand for the spring crop. Don't fail to make your arrangements for seed potatoes. If Maine seed are used, have them shipped as early as safety will permit, so as to avoid possible transportation congestion. Don't fail to plant a few acres in wheat, and then plant other cover crops such as clover, rye and vetch. Don't fail to lay up stock feed for winter use. Fill the silos, cut sorghum and peavine hay, cut lespedeza for hay and seed. Don't sell your work stock. They are necessary for working farms. Don't fail to look over your live stock carefully. Select those animals which are productive and which ought to be kept, and sell those which are unproductive. Prepare the cull animals for early market, and save the room and feed for good stock. Don't sell brood sows. Since the beginning of the war the number of swine in all countries has decreased. In France, for example, in the three years just before January 1, 1917, the number of swine decreased 38.12 per cent; (luring 1915 the number in Germany decreased 31.47 per cent. Breeding stocks are being depleted and the situation is alheady critical. The possible in crease from one sow is 1,002 pigs in four years, on the supposi tion that all litters consist of six pigs, that all live, that half are females, and that each gilt should farrow at one year and every six months thereafter. Don't sell any heifer calves for slaughter; there is going to be a world shortage of cattle, and this country will have to supply the world's needs after the war.

New York, Nov. 11.-Now York city water frp'nt was the sene of an other disastrous fire today when the factory of the Washburn Wire Com pany, which was working on large car orders for the United States Gov ernment, was destroyed with an esti mated loss of nearly $2,000,000. The patrolman who discovered the fire said he found three separate blazes at different places in the factory, which was housed in a series of build ings extending from 117th to 118th streets and half a block deep on the East river front in Harlem. An investigation started by Fire Marshal Broppy has revealed that a score of Germans and an equal num ber of Austrians, only one of whom possessed a zone permit, were includ ed in the force of 1,000 employes in the factory. Only about thirty-five 'men were in the factory when the fire started. Fourteen nationalities are represented among the workmen, it is said. Summoned to Appear. Federal authorities have been noti fied of the failure of the company to obtain zone permits for its alien ene my employes and Fire Marshal Bop py has summoned Daniel C. Turner, general manager of the company, and a score of employes to appear before him tomorrow. The fire, one of the most spectacular of recent years, started shortly after noon and was not brought under control until 4 o'clock. The buildings ranged from two to six stories in height and only parts of two of them remain standing. Tenement houses nearby were emptied of occupants and it was only after the greatest struggle by fire men that the flames were confined to the factory. Five firemen were in jured by falling walls and a water tower was demolished under an ava lanche of bricks. Tons of barbed and other wire, placed on the sidewalks, preparatory to loading tomorrow, and scattered through the factory were destroyed. By Land and Water. The flames apparently enveloped the different buildings of the factory simultaneously. Fire alarms called out all of the fire fighting apparatus in a large district. s This was aug mented by a fleet of fire patrol boats and railroad flats equipped with high pressure hose. A series of explosions, caused when the flames reached oil accumulations in the machinery, added to the dan ger of the fire. Some of the explo sions caused floors and walls to col lapse, sending up great clouds of sparks that flew to nearly buildings. Stores of materials used in manufac turing iinsulation gave out a heavy blacr.k smoke which, with the terrific heat, kept the fire fighters at least a1 half block from thc factory. --0 FOOD)STFF~S CONCIEALED) Gods WorthI S73,000,000 in Warehouse I nreportedl.
