In some manner tho herd of twenty-two horses broke down the fence and strayed down the track in front of an express train. The loss is estimated at five thousand dollars.

Palmer of Fort Wayne in looking over the records in his office finds that September 5, 1913, one year ago today which happened to be Lab. r Day, was the hottest day in tlipt particular year. The mercury reached 94 degrees at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of that day, which is a good many degrees higher than the mecury was at 3 o’clock yesterday. Farmers are commencing to fill their silos. Corn is used mostly for this purpose and it can be used advantageously up to tlie time it is killed by frost. It is better to get the silo filled before frost comes, how ever, as the silage is much better if put up while the loaves and stalks are green. Quite a good many silos have been built this summer in the county, and it is not too late yet for others to be erected.
