Don't Do 1t.

The man who goes about his barn
with pipe Or cigar is recommended to
take out an insurance policy at once
from one of the old line companies.
We recommend the old line companies,
in such case, for two reasons: First,
such carelessness should be made to
pay as high as possible for its fun, and
second, such a man ought not to inn
pose upon his neighbors who form the
basis of the farmers mutual COM
panies. We saw man not long ago
smoking while he was currying his
horse in the stable. He said
he had done it for years and had not
had a fire yet 1t is possible
that a man might smoke in a
powder mill for years without causing
an explosion, but he would be very
reckless man who should attempt it.
1t needs but spark among hay or
straw to burn down a barn with the
probable loss of all there is in it.
Never do any thing which is likely to
cause a fire. If fire in the barn does
occur, there is one thing that is we'll
to remember. Horses are frightened
.out of their wits" by fire. You can
not lead horse from burning barn
in the ordinary way. The best way is
to blindfold the animal. This may be
done by throwing a coat or blanket
over the head.-Western Rural.
