Carrying Lights into Barns.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL: One
property is the lantern. l inclose a news
paper clipping describing device that
can easily be applied to any farm barn.
1t occurs to me that when the inspector of
an insurance company finds barn thus
provided it might deter him from cancel
ing the policy. Over-insurance, poor
chimneys and danger from carrying Ian
terms are the main causes that have made
farm insurance almost impossible, even at
the advanced rates. F.
Carrying lamp or lantern into barn
where there is hay is dangerous prac-
tice, however careful one may be. Better
cut an opening in the partition wall, or in
the barn door, aud insert a pane Of glass.
A bracket under this on the outside af-
fo1ds place to set the lantern, whence
its rays will light up the interior. Two
of such places can be made-one for the
feeding floor and one for the cattle quar-
tiers. Then there will be no danger from
an upset lanteln-a circumstance that an
nually causes the loss of hundreds of
barns. 1t is doubtless true that some
forms of lanterns are safer than others,
but have never yet seen one that was
not capable Of setting fire to barn, if
overturned or broken near hay. If one
will insist on the practice of entering
stables and barns with laDters, let cord
or light chain, with snaffle hook at the
lower end, be suspended in clear space
in the feeding floor, OF in the cattle quar-
tiers. and let the lantern be hung on this
Immediately on entering the barn, max
ing this rule and adhering to it. 1t is
much safer, however, to use some such
device as here described, and leave the
light on the outside of the building. W.
