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.

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.

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

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.
