SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION

Accepted as a Fact In the Hay Barn
and Provided Against.
There are some things to be accept
ed on the evidence we have" accord
ing to Henry Stewart, ''for it is diff
cult to prove them by actual eye
knowledge" This he would apply to
the so called spontaneous combustion
of hay in a barn or stack. He says in
Country Gentleman: 1t Is probably the
case that no one ever saw a barn Of
hay taking fire from its own internal
heat, due to the fermentation and de-
composition Of the carbonaceous mat
tiers of it when in damp condition.
But there is great deal Of evidence,
anquestionably true, which goes to
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1899-08-09

"a" IA ton OF moist or
mere damp hay is not only possible
and even easy, but that it Is possible
to put in hay in such manner that,
under the right condition Of the wealth
er, it will certainly heat to burning
simply by internal fermentation and
oxidation Of it's carbonaceous matter.
l have seen hundreds Of mows and
stacks Of hay in my life the center Of
which, when taken down for use, has
been of a dark brown and in some in
stances black and actually charred by
the heat.
1t is a frequent occurrence that ships
are burned by spontaneous fires occur
ring in the coal bunkers. The fact Is
that damp carbonaceOus matters, as
well as oily stuff of the same kind, will
oxidize so actively as to take fire.
Secondary fermentation will not pro-
duce sufficient heat to cause combus-
ton, so that it is a wise precautiOn to
have this first fermentation 60 on in
the hay in the field, with the hay in
cocks. The form Of the cock is best
tail and slender, for in this form the
cock will shed heavy rains and yet
keep dry, if the top is protected by a
common hay cap, while low, broad
one is impossible to keep dry even
from few hours rain.
The drawing shows the right shape
Of a haycock and the manner of max
ing it self shedding Of the rain with
cap one and half yards square Of
common sheeting. If these shaped
cocks are necessarily out in the wealth
er, they will be safe against weeks of
| wet, If such a misfortune should hap
pen to a farmer, for the cap on the top
will turn the water there, and the
sides, well raked down, will shed all
the drip. Hay put up in these cocks
will cure perfectly, with no risk Of
harm, and once this first fermentation
is over there will be no secondary one,
for dampness afterward will be due to
water only and not to the sap Of the
| grass, which is sufficiently carbona-
ceous to start the requisite fermenta-
| ton for the production of heat. A Sec
ondary wetting of the hay will cause
mold. but not any fermentation of the
hay by which heat will be produced.
l am so sure Of the possibility Of
! spontaneous combustion of the hay
| that l would be very careful to avoid
the risk Of it by the simple method Of
| having this fermentation go on in the
| field in safely made cock in which
| there is not more than 400 pounds Of
hay.

patient is dying he may give him an
anasthetic to make his death as easy as
circumstances may permit. But II the
physician goes further and deliberate
ly shortens life he is criminal.
1.-THE law never measures the amount
of prospective life in human being,
nor does it scale nature of the punish
ment to meet the period life has short

While our system Of Jurisprudence
continues it will be unsafe. II not crimi-

proof obtained at the autopsy that II
he had not taken life 1t would have de-
parted by natural causes in few
