We notice, from our exchanges, that ar
usual amount of damage has been done by
prairie fires this fall. The grass has beer
unusually good and rank this season, and
the continued scarcity of rain throughout the
entire fall has rendered it very inflamable.- =
These fires arc very easily started, and Of
tentimes the grass is set on fire by persons
who think themselves careful. Instead q
spreading warnings for the people to be care
full, let each one protect himself. Every
fence, rick and barn should be plowed around
to the width of six furroHs and all danger
from prairie fires will be obviated.
