~ A MS1ST80HS FIRE Eighty Houses in Lacrosse, Wis., j Succumb to the Flames. One Thousand Men out of Work and 400 People Rendered Homeless. One of the most disastrous conflagrations that ever visited Wisconsin broke out the other morning in John Paul's mill at Lacrosse and swept southward, destroying the mill and several million feet of lumber belonging to Mr. Paul. Thence it swept to the yards and mill of C. L. Col man, destroying everything to the river and for two blocks to the southward. The flames leaped rapidly from one pile to another despite the exertions of the entire fire department. All the steamers were Drougnt into service ana an me power tnac could be obtained from the mill pumps, the city water works and the local hydrants. The scene about the conflagration became thrilling. Thousands of people thronged the streets, the sidewalks and ths housetops to witness the conflagration. The fire originated from a spark from the mill stacks or from the furnaces. In fifteen minutes the mill was doomed, and in thirty minutes it fell in ruins with all its splendid machinery. There was no staying the progress of the flames, which Jumped to the great pile of lumber and in an hour made a seething sea of flames against the heat of which no fireman could stand. Th^ wind was blowing fresh from the north and the flames moved steadily southwest. All efforts to stop them at dolman's mill proved futile. The immense structure was soon a mass of fire. The planing mill adjoining was also caujrht. The workmen and the fire department then turned their attention toward Ca^s street, where a force of men were set to work to tear down the lumber piles, that the flames might be stopped there. All hope of saving the immediate property was abandoned. A train of eight cars belonging to the Milwaukee and St. Paul road was consumed. At 2 o'clock it wa* evident that the larcre factory of Sejrelke, Kohlurs & Co. was doomed. The blaze broke out in the storehouse of the sash factory in Second street, causing a flame of fire one block in length. The four-story house and sheds burned with lightning rapidity, au 1 people cast of Second street be fan moving out. The fire was completely under control before 3 o'clock. The departments from Winnno \finn nn'l Snnvf-fl rAnrlpTW? *?Y/V>71pnt aid. A careful estimate of the loss piar*es it at $1,000,000. of which, as individual heavylosers, C. L. Colman is greatest, his loss beine: $400,000. with no insurance. John Paul's loss, mill and 5,000,000 feet of lumber, is estimated at $150,000, insured for $00,000. The fire la;d waste ten blocks, which included two of the largest lumber-yards in Wisconsin and some eighty small house?. Fully i 1,000 men are thrown out of employment and 400 persons rendered homeless. THE GREAT STRIKE, Statements of t.lie Knights of Labor and Jay Gould. There was a resumption of the railroad strike in the Southwest on the 5th, the following being the text of a statement issued hv tViA ?rpnf?r?1 Axeriifcivfi board of the Knights of Labor. "At the conference held in New York between Gould and associates and the general executive board the following was mutually agreed upon: "That the officials were willing to meet a committee of employes without discrimination, who are actually in the employ of the road at the time such committee is appointed, to adjust with them any grievance they may have. "The executive board, upon arriving in St. Louis, having been informed that Mr. Hoxie had refused to comply with the agreement as all parties to the conference understood it, waited upon him to ascertain his intentions of carrying out the same, and received the following reply: 'That only fifty per cent of the former force wou!*l be employed; that he would consider persona) applications only and use his own pleasure m acting on them, without the dictation of any society.' "This being in direct violation of the agreement the general board believes that the refusal was for the purpose of stock jobbing, using the organization as a veil to further their ends. We, therefore, recall the order given to the men to return to work, the road having made it impossible to fulfil the same. The matter now stands as it did before the order to resume work wa> issued?in the hands of those interested, and the general board will render all a&sistanc1 to cairy out the demand of the men lor justice.'" Mr. Jay Gould was interviewed in New York regarding the charge made by Secretary Turner, of the Knights of Labor, that Mr. Hoxie was not acting in conformity with the terms of the agreement entered into at the New York conference. Mr. Gould said: c+nnArrronliar'e nnt'/ic nf flio Vow x ut ovcjuvgtapu^i o UM/IVJ VA. tuu York conference show that there was no agreement, direct or implie 1, that the company 'would take all men back, with some comparatively few exceptions.' On the contrary, they show that not one of the committee expected the compauy to take back any men not needed or any who had had anything to do with damage to the property of the company or obstruction to the runuiug of its trains. Powderly said if the company would supply him with the names of the law breakers they would be expelled from the order. The whole oommittee was very positive that its orders to return to work would be generally obeyed, and asserted most positively that those who refused to obey its orders would be put cut of the order and, to use the exact words of one of the committee, 'kept out of it it forever.' A message from Mr. Hoxie was read to the committee, in which he said that only a portion of the men formerly employed would le required by the company on account of a reduction in business caused the stri'.ve, and because a large number of men had been employed to take the places of the strikers, who would not be discharged."

His f advance encountered a breastwork of 1 rails, behind which the enemy were en- s deavoring to rally their broken bat- J talions. Without a moment's hesitation a Hatch ordered a mounted charge, and r the horses literally tore the barricade to 3 kindling wood, and soon Union and Con- I federate troopers were mingled together e in dire confusion.

The two powerful men c closed in deadly conflict, striking, thrust- ^ ing, parrying with the rapidity of light- i nine. Urging their horses together, f they grasped each other's sworis with i the disengaged hand, and wresting from i the other his weapon, they renewed the conflict each trying to kill the other with his own captured blade. It is difficult to say who would have conquered in _ this peculiar combat had not a Union * trooper shot the gallant Rucker through ^ the arm, and, disabling him, forced his ^ surrender. Rucker spent the night at T General J. H. Wilson's quarters, where r he received all possible attention, and was sent nent morning to a hospital in ^ Nashville.

'' ] { Pumpkins as a Crop. ] Pumpkins may be made a most valu- 1 able crop for feeding cows and are invaluable for swine, a 5 they are healthful 1 and fattening and provide considerable 1 nitrogenous elements in their seed which r offsets the want of these in the corn. The r diuretic effect of the seed is also useful ] as assisting to carry off impure matter t from Ihe blood. This effect of the seed, t popularly supposed to be injurious to 1 cows, is only so when the seed is eaten f in excessive quantity, as when it is thrown out from pumpkins prepared for f irying. An acre of pumpkins planted c without any other crop may be expected t to yield twenty to forty tons, according a to the fertility of the soil and the culti- t vation given. Six and seven feet apart ( is a good distance for the hills. This t gives 1,000 to the aore, and five sixteen- r pound pumpkins to the hill is not an un- } common crop under favorable circum- < stances. The common field pumpkin is the best kind, beinc soft and easilv t broken, and having no hard indigestible ? rind, as the chee.se pumpkin has.?-New t York Times. s ( Don't Punish the Cow. T Does your cow cringe and curl and ap- ? pear nervous and fidgety when you sit s 3own to milk her? Does she keep step- 1 ping, and occasionally raise her foot to he top of the pail, much to the peril of ? ts contents, as well as to your own peace * )f mind? If so do not give her a "piece c )f your mind'' in the shape of a heavy * jlow with vour fist or milking-stool, or a ? iick with your hard boot, but just look s it your finger nails and see if they are < lot getting long and sharp. If they are, ^ oare them down the first thing you do; c ;hen begin carefully and quietly to draw ;he milk. Cows seldom kick unless they * ire hurt in some way or expect to be hurt. E Men's fingers are not all shaped alike, ? lome having short, stubbed ends with * lails that wear off as fast as they grow; ^ )thers have long, slender fingers, with a iharp nails to 'correspond. Some milkers r ceep their nails pared close, while others c >ay but little attention to them. Long, a iharp nails cause a great many cows to a ebel against being milked.

How to prevent all the s i _ 1 1 luuve mat our puur uunjus uuvu lu biu- ? er: Do not allow the smith to use a t :nife on the foot of your horse at all; fc imply rasp the foot off just enough to jet an even bearing, then apply a tip. or f t thin flat shoe; should you use the tip c lever rasp the heel down at all; should a ou have your horses' feet shod with n )lain flat shoes, keep the heels down low a nough to get a frog pressure; three nails f >n each side are enough to hold it in v >lace on any driving horse until the shoe {i s worn out. Never allow the smith to e asp the outside of the foot at all. If 'ou will follow these instructions you p vill save many a horse from going lame, a f you let the smith cut the sole and frog I o suit his will and pleasure, then fill it p vith nails, rasp it off until it is as thin as f rnper, you must expect lame horses, and e r/\n ruil! tV>r?m Onlxr iViinlr ?

In bad eases, p vhen the bark is shriveled, nothing will v enew vitality but burying the entire v ree, root and brahch, in a trench, having horoughly soaked the soil in advance, e f not the best rule, it is at least safe to si ransplant deciduous trees soon after the h ;round is reasonably dry in early spring, c nd evergreens later but before growth a >egins. Magnolias may prove an excep- s ion to the first, owing to their soft sue- ^ ulent roots being susceptible of decay fc vhen not growing. No use digging deep holes for trees; ^ he small feeding roots keep close to the a uriace, always waiting ior iresn nutri- (. aent and moisture. Make the hole wide f, f you wish, and fill in with good mellow a oil, but only sufficiently deep o allow the tree no stand pre- j, :isely as before removal. Deep a ides are an injury in many cases, as the t, resh soil will sink after heavy rains, tak- fj ng the tree with it, and thus bury the ^ oots several inches lower than is re- ^ [uired. Rich soil at an unnecessary deptli u nclincs the roots to run deen in search if nourishment, and thus debars them rom proximity to the air. ? It is not so difficult to transplant oaks 1 ;s many persons suppose, provided care ?. >e taken not to mutilate the roots in dig- I jing.nor to permit them ttf"dry when out >f the ground. Exposing roots to the air \ or an unnecessary length of time is sure Sl leath to almost any tree. Oaks are real- ~ y as easily moved as any forest tree, prodded they have been frequently trans- ^ )lanted, beginning with the seeding, of Jr ay two years' growth, and performing 1 he operation every two or three years, n place of the original solitary taproot hey will form a mass of rootlets and mc.ll filvrnc wliirVi- inenrca flip lif*? nf llip ree.

Tt hould face east and south if possible, in >rder to catch the rays of the morning sun, ? tnd that the flock may enjoy the sua s varmth in the afternoon in winter. a Stagnant or damp soil beneath the henlouse is bad for poultry. They cannot be 6 cept heathy in such a situation. The best a oil for the hennery to occupy is a dry, andy or gravelly one. A wet. soggy h oiindation to the hennery is fatal to the s veil-being of the stock confined in it. h Light, warmth from the suns rays, thor- d >ugh ventilation, and an interior that can q ilways be kept dry, are the prime needs r or a good healthy fowlhouse. d Variety in food is an indispensable requisite of success. Fowls may be made to live when fed upon any single article ol liet, but profits under such circumstances ire not to oe expected, vanety in aiex promotes health, and health secures the ictivity of the reproductive organs. Fresh Water is indispensable. Foul water cads to disease. Fowls should never be allowed to enter )arns or siables, as they will foul more iav and feed than their eggs are worth, fheir domains should be entirely separited from those of horses and cattle, ^ot only are vermin from poultry some;imes communicated to liorses stabled in heir neighborhood, but' the specially ilthy afld offensive excrements of the owls defiles the hay and grains. A young and nervous horse, unused to owls, is often Inghtenea it, Dy accident >r otherwise, a cackling, scratching roop of hens finds entrance to his stable, uid he will resign his oats to the petty hieves and stand trembling while they levour his well-earned dinner. Be sure hat stable doors and windows are so aran?cd that neither domestic fowls nor )igeons can enter and annoy the rightful )ccup;mts. It is well to season lightly the food of ill fowls both young and old. The digestive organs of all animals abhor a lavorless article of food. Some sort of itimulant is necessary to gently urge the iigestive organs while at their work. A rery little suit, pepper, mustard or ginger, and other things of a like nature, is ullicient to trive a flavor to the poultry nusli or to the cooked vegetables. For feeding young chicks a few bread :rumbs soaked in milk are the best things or the first two or three days. Feed ?nly a very very small quantity. When hey get older they may have a variety of pains and vegetables. They cannot wallow large kernels of corn, but they an have cracked corn or small pop corn, billet seed is well adapted to young :hickens. One of the best things for chickens roin a week to six weeks old is bread, tot the ordinary household bread, but an rticle made on purpose for chickens. >Iix corn meal and wheat bran, neither he line nor the coarse bran entirely, but , little of both, with some fine yc or wheat flour to give it onsistency. Put in water enough to make dough, add a little salt and bake it in n oven as if for the family. This cheap >read can be used to great advantage for oung chickcns by breaking or rubbing t into crumbs or by soaking it in milk intil it becomes soft and can be eaten eadily. Never give too much food. Ulow your chickens to leave off hungry. Fhousands of young chickens are killed very year by gorging with rich food. For well-grown fowls a feed of whole orn at the evening meal is excellent, beause it digests so slowly that the fowls rill have something in their crops all light. The digestive organs do not lumber, but keep at their work the i-liole night long. In cold weather, (specially, the food in the crop gives trength and support and power to reist the cold of the small hours, when, if he crop was empty, the birds would not ie so well nourished. It is a good plan to boil fish before eeding to poultry, although raw fish, hopped fine, is not to be despised. Meat ,nd fish, when boiled, form a diet more early resembling the soft insects which re procured in a state of nature by the owls. If you boil the fish no other (reparation is needed if they are placed a a clean spot. The fowls will pick off very morsel of flesh from the bones. If a flooring of boards is used when the ioultry house is built, it will be advisble to cover the house with dry earth, f in a dry spot, the floor may be disiensed with and the earth may be used or the floor. The tainted earth can oca^ionally be removed to the depth of six r eight inches and its place supplied pith fresh earth. 11 dependence is piacea ;pon an earth floor, it must of course be little above the surrounding ground, to irovide good drainage. It is cheaper to mild the house upon a kittle knoll or rise if ground, or to raise & little mound of arth before the house is built, than to arrv the earth into the structure afterward.?

A notable housekeeper says that stockigs that have served their purpose and re not serviceable for poor persons, are iseful for iron-holders. They should be nt down the seam and smoothly folded, pith the foot inside. The edges should ie iirmly overcast with strong linen Sim nr\vor< for iron-holders arc dmirable. They may be made of stout ray linen in a bag shape. They are lipped over the iron-holder and tacked t the open end. To remove a glas9 stopper, drop some lyccriue in the surrounding crevice and fter an hour or two it will loosen. Nellie H. says: "When I wash dishes, ;aving on a clean dress, I draw over the leeves a pair of old clean stocking tops, cmmed at the bottom.
