Fire tanging" OF manure is de-
structive, and, although il is a
well-known occurrence in manure
heaps, some farmers do not try to
pr Mt or suppress it. Ii is sim ply
overneating of the manure, due to
rapid decomposition, a large pro.
portion of the ammonia being
liberated and lost. When fire
fanging occurs drive a crow bar
into the heap in several places,
and pour in cold water. What is
better, wet the manure and turn
the heap.over, adding dry eaAh
and plaster, placing the coarse
portions of the manure in the
center. Cold water absorbs ammo
MIA and prevents Its escape. and
unless it is used much of the vol
atile ammonia will escape while
the manure is beng handled. The
heap should not be kept wet, t,how-
ever, but slightly damp. which
will promote decomposition; but
overheating may always be CON
trolled by cold water.

If Rum Should Die.

dawn
And we should wake to find it was
no more,
How many dreadful things would cease
to be,
And blessings come which have not
been before,
If rum should die
How many gloomy faces then would
smile,
The drunkard's wife would cease to
mourn and sigh,
The drunkard's children, playing in
the street,
Would not at papa's coming hide
and cry,
If rum should die
The man who spends his money for
the drink,
Would now commence to lead diff
ferent life,
With no saloon to tempt him by the
way,
He'd carry home his earnings to his
wife,
If rum should die.
There would be better times through
out our land,
Murder and misery would soon de-
crease,
Almshouses and prisons, too, would
empty stand,
Instead OF drunken riots would be
peace,
If rum should die.
Our land would be delivered from its
foe,
Would be delivered from its greatest
shame,
A truly Christian nation to become
In deed and truth as we'll as IN the
name,
If rum should die.
Yes. all these many blessings would
result,
If rum should die; but, friends, it
never will,
Unless the citizens of this, our land,
Unite their energies this foe to kill,
And make rum to die.
1t ought to die, we know it very we'll,
But still the voters calmly let it
stay
Oh, let them from the lethargv awake
A nd at the ballot-box united say,
Rum, you must die.
