CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY SWEPT BY Fl AMES Administration Dullding Im Destroyed Resulting In Loss of ?7r>,000 to ?100,000. President AnnounceK That Ihe Burned Structure will i>e Speed ily Rebuilt Orangeburg, Jan. 9.?Orangeburg was visited by one of the largest fires of Its history this morning when the large, wain building of Clafln unl vorslty, a negro college supported by the Northern Methodist church, was practically destroyed by fire. The alarm was sent 1? about 11.40 o'clock this morning and when the fire de partment reached the scone, the roof was a mass of flames. The origin of the fire is a mystery. When discover ed, the fire was. a soaring flame, ap pearing to have been burning some time. The main building was a three stery brick structure and a very large building. In this building were lo cated class rooms, girls' dormitory, president's office and other offices, dining room, kitchen in annex, etc. All of the students were gotten out of the building In safety. A large amount of the students' personal ef fects were saved and some personal property of the college, but the loss of personal property was great. Tin- large main building of the State college for negroes, which Is a four story building, was in close proximity to the fire, but at no time was in serious danger of destruction. About two years ago Badhatn hall, girls' dormitory of the State coljege, was detsroyed by fire, entailing a loss of about $20,000. There was a stiff wind during the fire, but luckily the wind blew in the most favorable direction to prevent spread of fire to adjolnlngbuildlngs. Although the firemen fought valiantly, the wind fanned the flames and the building was reduced to ashes except the kitchen annex, which was saved. The fire was no of the largest oc curring in Oral gehurg for a long time and the largest fire ever happening here in which only one building was deal roved. The building destroyed was valued at between $7;"?.000 and $100,000. The insurance carried upon the building amounted to $."it),000 and the amount carried on the furniture amounted to $r?,ooo. making a total of $r>r?,ooo in surance, Dr. I.. M, Dunton, presi dent of Claflln university, stated that the school would run smoothly along as plenty of room would be provided In other buildings for class rooms and dormitory accomodatlons. Dr. Dun ton stated that the administration building would be rebuilt as son as possible and that a magnificent struc ture would be erected to replace the one destroyed. The present Claflln university plant is valued at over $300,000 . Here is a remedy that will cure your cold. Why waste time and money ex perimenting when you can get a pre paration that has won a world-wide reputation by its cures of this disease and can always be depended upon?

At a poultry Institute, held by the Colorado agricultural college last summer, Prof. W. O. Chambers exhlb Ited a Rhode Island Red hen that has laid 200 eggs In one year. Prof. Chambers keeps from forty to fifty hens on a town lot and hat to buy all bis feed. He koopt an ac curate account of all expenses, anc last year for feed, louse killer, straw and all incidentals, the cost was one dollar per hen. He uses trap nests and keeps no hen that lays less than 120 eggs in twelve months. The av erage for his entire flock is a little over twelve dozen eggs a hen per annum. The average price in the open mar ket for the year for eggs hat) been 25 cents a dozen. This makes at market price an Income of three dollars a hen for the year?two dollars a hen mcve than the cost of feed whore all feed has to be purchased. Prof. Chambers ha? mads more than this amount because be has sold some of bis eggs for hatching. Ho ascribes hiB success to Intelligent feeding, good care and trap-nesting. His hens are given dry feed entirely. He gives a light feed of whole wheat and corn three times a day, scattering the grain in the litter. He keeps before his hens all the time in self-feeding hoppers a dry mash made of the following mixture: Pounds. Bran .200 Alfalfa meal.200 Corn meal.100 Shorts .A.100 Linseed meal.100 Meat, bono and blood.100 With this Is mixed a little salt and cayenne pepper. SOME TROUBLES WITH DUCKS Usually Caused by Ignorance and Be cause Nature of the Bird Is Not Fully Understood. When there Is trouble In raising ducks It Is usually because the nature of the duck is not understood. Ducks should not be allowed water to swim in until matured and then the market ducks do not need it, although it Is an aid to fertility, vigor and condi tion. It is quite possible to make FJock of White Peklns. money by raising and selling ducks without water. Do not try to raise chicks and duck lings together; the ducklings will soil the water till the chicks cannot and should not drink It, and will gobble up all tho food. The duck should be fed soft food and not too much grain. It has no crop, the food passing direct ly into the gizzard, hence the impor tance of having water at hand when the ducks eat. Make sure that they have an abundance of green food and sand. When ducks are kept dry, bed ded In a clean place, given plenty of water and the right kind of food, they grow like weeds, and rarely suffer from disease or lice, though lice wll occasionally infest them. IILWNOTECI Keep the chicks free from lice. They cannot grow well and fight lice at the same tlma. Old geese lay a greater number ard larger eggs and are more reliable than young geese. Young geese do not lay as many for tllo eggs or produce as many goslings in tho first breeding season as they do In tho second. Fresh air and sunshine nro the best disinfectants that the poultry raiser has at his disposal, and ought to be more often used In his work. The Indian Runner ducks nre not i very good sitters, although they are1 often Inclined to Incubate. Their eggs i are generally put Into incubators or under hens for hatching. Thero Is no doubt that If the guinea hen Is properly cared for at all times that it will prove almost as profitable as any of tho ordinary breeds of chick ens. Ducks are not very useful after the fourth or fUi.li year for breeding pur poses Hen? bred for laying, properly cared for and properly fed ought to produce 125 to as high as 200 eggs per year per hen. The ducklings should have a great deal of shade. Extremo hot wenthor will kill them. When chicks become very much crowded they are Muble to swcHt In tPrt bforiQf si night and take cold, be ' in. i I ''led. and this cause trouble Be Happy! Happy the girl, or woman, who has never suffered from any of the diseases of womanhoodl Or, If she has been a sufferer, happy is she if she has learned of the wonderful benefits of Cardui, the woman's tonicl Cardui is a gentle, tonic remedy, for women's ailments. It is a natural medicine?safe, harmless, purely vegetable. It has been in successful use for more than 50 years. It has cured thousands. It should do the same for you. Cardui woml^Tohic Mrs. Mary Neely, of Denver, Teno., says, **l think there Is no tonic on earth, as good as Cardui. I used it with the very best results. I had backache and nearly everything a woman could suffer with, until I took Cardui. Now, I feel better than I have for two years. I shall always recommend Cardui to other suffering women. I can't praise it too highly. As a medicine for weak, tired, worn-out women, Cardui is safe and reliable. Try it, today. Wrttt to: Udl*?' Advisory Dept.. Ctuttaaooia Medtclnt Co., Chattanoor?, Tenn.
