A CASE IN PoINT--The great stock stable
ofG. Dawson Coleman, in Lancaster county,
Pa, was totally destroyed by fire Friday
night of last week The famous registered
herd of Jersey cattle, many of them imported,
fifty-two in number, were chained to their
stalls, and when the fire was first seen II had
attained such headway that no one of them
could be saved. Many of the cattle were
highly valued, some of the bulls costing
$4,000. The loss will be $4,000 or more.
Ifany Illustration was needed of the prac-
tical utility of Judge Watters's fire escape
fastener for stock in stables" it would be fur
nished in the above item. With the ordinary
methods of fastening stock in stables it is al.
most always impossible to release them in
case of fire, no matter at what stage of the
fire it is discovered; and to go among lot of
frightened cattle in burning building for
the purpose administering them is something
which even brave man might hesitate to
do. The consequence is that we seldom hear
of the burning of stable without the loss
of all the live stock contained in it, The
most important feature of Judge Waters in
vention is that, while as fastener 1t is easier
fastened and much more secure than the Or
binary methods, with it any number of ami
mails may be released almost instantly and
without going among them. We published,
week before last the opinion of number of
the most intelligent practical farmers of
Chester county, Pa, that this "device is sim
pie, durable and not expensive" and "worthy
of adoption by dairymen and feeders every
where" From the character OF the stock
destroyed as well as the gross amount of the
loss, no doubt this fire will be noticed by all
the agricultural papers throughout the coun-
try, and ifthey would improve the opportuni.
ty to impress upon the owners of stock the i'm.
portance of providing some way of releasing
them from their stables in case of fire, they
would be thereby doing good service not
only in the cause of humanity, but to the
pocket interests of their readers
