FIRES ON FARMS CAUSE BIG LOSS Numerous Disastrous Conflagrations Could Be Prevented With Ordinary Care. ' i LIGHTNING IS LARGE FACTOR Frequent Inspection of Buildings Should Be Made and All Rubbish and Inflammable Material Removed. (Prepared by the United States Department ot Agriculture.) Farm fires cost about $20,000,000 a year?$18,106,710 in 1918. Of the fires that year 33 per cent were from causes classed as preventable, 37 per cent from partly preventable causes and 30 per cent unknown but believed to have been largely preventable. With Inadequate fire-fighting equipment on farms, fifes are hard to control. Prevention is the best way to deal with them. Defective chimneys and flues took t(^l to the extent of $1,902,031; sparks om roofs, $1,181,171; careless use of riBches by smokers and others, $1,on,987; petroleum and its products, $732,067; and stoves, furnaces, boilers, nnd theijr pipes, $074,908. The largest item listed as partly preventable Is lightning, $3,933,950. Inspect Premises Frequently. The Department of Agriculture advises a frequent looking over of the premises to see that the buildings are in the best practicable shape to prevent and resist fire, that inflammable rubbish is cleared away, and that habits of safety be instilled/in the handling of matches, lamps, stoves and kerosene and gasoline. Gasoline has come to play an Important part in farm life that special care should be tnken to see that it is not stored in Inflammable buildings and is never opened in the presence of uncovered flame. If lanterns must be used In barns, they should be kept In good condition, set or hung in a safe place, and never filled or lighted in the barn. Kerosene lamps should be exumined to see that the burners are in good condition and should never be left where they may be upset. Kerosene and gasoline receptacles should be kept apart, and should be so different as to avoid possibility of a mistake. Numerous disastrous fires are caused by thrashing machines, both by scattering sparks and embers and by dust explosions in the separators.' All smokestacks should have spark arresters, and the ground around the boiler should be kept clear and wet down, if necessary. Grain-dust explosions are largely preventable. The department has made exhaustive studies or rne suoJect and Is prepared to recommend adequate safeguards. Serious losses arte cnused by sparks from locomotives, which Ignite dry A Fire-Fighting Outfit for a Country Community. wooden shingle roofs and start many fires In straw, stubble, and grass during dry seasons. If a railroad runs through the farm It will pay to plow a few furrows along the right of way as a firebreak. In Ram rtr (larann IIB'WI wiuvov ... ?. .vva Ordinary friction matches should be kept safe In receptacles, away from children, and never carried loose. Smoking In barns and garages never should be permitted. Fire marshals of western states report greater fire losses in grain and straw the past season from carelessly thrown matches, engine sparks, and automobile and tructor backfire than ever before. Buildings may be made safer by seeing that the chimneys are without cracks and free of soot, which may take fire and scatter sparks on dry roofs. Flues which may become hot should be covered A'ith asbestos and any near-by walls and ceilings protected. There should be a sheet of metal under every stove. Out of all the losses by lightning not one was on a building protected hv licrhtnlng rods. It Is now definitely known that lightning rods afford protection. If Installed Intelligently they reduce the risk from lightning almost to the vanishing point. Precautionary measures will do much to cut down a loss that takes millions of dollars out of the possession of rural Americans every year and leaves nothing In Its pluce. Prevention Is better than regret. TIME FOR CUTTING TIMBER Insects and Fungi Which Attack Wood Are Less Active in Fall and Winter Seasons. / Fall and winter ure best for cutting timber. Insects and fungi which attack wood are then less active. Seasoning Is slow and there is little excessive checking. It Is easier to haul logs on sleds than on wheels, and labor suitable for woods work *s usually more available. I STORE SURPLUS CORN > FOR BIGGEST PROFIT Problem Solved by County Agent In Alabama Community. \ Farmer Is Well Repaid for Time Spent in Carefully Shucking, Shelling and Sacking His Crop-JOthers Were Careless. (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) Improvement of the methods of gathering and storing and in the time of murketing corn, where there is a ' surplus, has been one of the problems handled lately by a county agent In Alabama. He reports that In 1920 three men In a community near Qantt unconsciously proved the very point he wo8 anxious to make. Each had about 200 bushels of corn for sale. One sold his from the field at $1.20 per bushel. The second farmer stored his In the old way and sold It for $1.75, although It was gnawed by rats and eaten by weevils. The third man brought his 200 bushels in, shelled, in good even weight sacks, with no weevils, and re ?mvea 'o. tie naa suuciteu. Biieueu Seed Corn Properly Sacked. , / and sacked Ills corn at spare times during the fall. He had learned from the county agent how to kill the weevils. The only expense he went to, although his corn brought so much better price, was for sacks \and the weevil exterminator. He said the shucks were worth all that for roughage for his cows. This gave him $100 more for 200 bushels of corn than his neighbor who sold the same day. ORGANIZE BULL ASSOCIATION / Success Depends Great Deal on Cars In Forming?County Agent Can Give Assistance. Success In the operation of a co-operative bull association depends a great deal on the care than is used in Its organization. To begin with, those Interested should obtain as much Information as possible regarding the plnn of operation and should consult with the county agricultural agent. He may be able to give valuable information from experience, or at least will know where It can be obtained, and he can help greatly fn starting the / organization. If a county agent Is not available, write to the state agricultural college or to the United States Department of AjJricuIture at Washington, D. C., either of which will bo glad to give advice and assistance. It Is advisable, If possible, to visit some nearby bull association In order to study the methods of operating, for the more Information there Is available the better will be the prospects for a well-organized and successful association. YEARLY YIELDS FROM SHEEP Compare Practically the Same as Cat tie and Swine if Kept on Suitable Land. , Yield of lambs and wool depend / largely upon the breed of sheep selected. With ewes of any one of the medium-sized mutton breeds the United States Department of Agriculture points out that 1^.5 per cent of lambs can be raised, and 150 per cent Is not Infrequently reached. The wool clip - * ? ^ 11 nrvnn A a nor owp vanes irum < u> ii The larger mutton breeds yield more, as do also the fine wools, but the value per pound of the latter has In normal times been less on account of the greater proportion of grease. In com-. parlson with cattle and swine, sheep can be made to yield practically the , same net returns on the value of the land, If well cared for, and If kept on lands reasonably well adapted for sheep raising. SAVING SWEET POTATO CROP Better Storage and Disease-Preventive Methods Arousing Widespread Interest. The work of the United States Department of Agriculture for better utilisation of the nation's sweet potato crop by better storage and diseasepreventive methods has aroused widespread interest throughout the sweet potato producing states, which Include more than 20 of the 48. The department has published three farmers' bulletins useful to those Interested in the production, harvesting, storage and marketing of sweet potatoes, which can be had on request. They are: No. 970, Sweet Potato Storage; No. 999, Sweet Potato Growing; and No. 1059, Sweet Potato Disease. VENTILATION IS IMPORTANT Carbonlo Gas Constantly Forming In Poultry House Must Be Carried Away at Once. It doesn't take long for the air lo a poultry house lo become poisonous and unhealthy. Carbonic acid gas Is forming constantly and as the air becomes laden with this gas it must be carried out by a proper ventilating system und replaced by pure, fresh air.
