Means of Distinguishing Fires.

In farming districts the means of extin-
gushing fires is SO very deficient that, as
rule, when fire gets started in building
its total destruction is the result, and that
too, when by the expenditure of few
dollars means might have been at hand to
extinguish the fire before much injury had
been done.
A fire on the roof may be discovered
when single bucket of water would put
it out, but for want Of ladder with hooks
to it, or perhaps for the want of any ladder
at all within quarter of mile, the fire
gets under such Roadway before it IS reach
ed, that tbs impossible to save the building.
Buildings are often burned for the want
Of sufficient number of buckets to carry
water to the burning buildings. No farmer
should be deficient in either ladders or
buckets, for the cost is so trifing that every
man who owns farm can afford to have
them
Fire ladders should be made strong and
should be kept where they can be obtained
without delay; at least one of them should
have hooks on it, and be long enough to
reach from the ridge to the caves of the
largest building; second ladder should be
long enough to reach from the ground to
the caves. Not less than dozen buckets
should be kept on every good-sized farm,
to be used only in case of fire, and should
be marked fire buckets; but how very few
have single bucket expressly for fire pur-
poses; so when a fire occurs they do not
know which way to turn for bucket to
carry water in.
There should be on every farm good
force pump, and hose enough to reach any
building with a little practice stream of
water can thus be put on building in two
or three minutes after notice, and a good
pump will throw water from thirty to fifty
feet high. When it is thought force
pump of this kind cannot be afforded, the
next best thing is portable hand pump,
which with little practice, can be made
to throw water to the top of the buildings
without ladder. The cost of these is from
So to $40 each.-MaSs Ploughman
