The innocent looking silo has
come to be a thing of danger Hore-
tofore such n thing as suffocation
from the carbonic acid gas generated
in IA silo has not been thought of.
But three fatalities in silo on the
Marathon asylum farm near Wausau
Will be a warning To all owners of
silos to beware of the silo pit The
collection of carbonic acid gas in the
bottom of abandoned wells is well
understood, although deaths fre-
quently take place from this cause.
On the same principle no doubt, the
pit of the silo Is not wholly free
from danger, as that in Marathon
county has just demonstrated.
Three men descending into the par
TALLY filled silo were overcome aud
sutfocated by the carhonic acid gas
generated in it over night. Such
case has not before been known; but
1t proves that under certain condi-
tions sufficient gas may be generated
by the fermentation To render the
silo dangerous unless some method
Is devised to let the gas flow off be-
fore workmen descend into the pit.
As many farmers are filling their
silos at this time of the year 1t might
be suggested, as precautionary
measure, that n lantern be lowered
into the pit and the presence Of gas
tested before sending any one down
the ladder.

Destructive Farm Fire.

While threshers We're busily en-.
gagged on the farm of Mr.. Richard
Cooking, about two and half miles
northeast of this city, Monday after
noon, fire broke out, and immediate
ly got beyond control. Steam power
was being used, and although the
smoke stack was provided with the
customary screen sparks of fire We're
forced through and ignited the straw
pile, which the breeze famed into a
blaze, and the greedy flames soon
made sad havoc of everything with
in reach. Three barns, one quite
large, about 100 tons of hay, all his
grain and considerable machinery
We're reduced entirely to ashes. The
treshing outfit was that of Thomas
Collins, of this city, and his new sep
arator, costing several hundred dol
lars, was also completely destroyed.
Mr.. Cocking's loss is estimated at
about $500, with a tritle over $1,000
insurance.

So far as known, the fly serves
no useful purpose and does great
deal of mischief One OF the most
serious evils resulting from their ex-
istence is the transportation Of dis
ease germs from place to place, and
depositing them on human food. A
fly alights on infected substances
and then departs, carrying bacilla on
its feet. An ordinary house1y viii

Had our aldermen gone among
views relative to expending $50 per
month for pumping water, and acted
accordingly, the result would GER
tainly have been different. Nothing
but a big fire or fair week is likely
to run up bill for pumping to that
amount, for month, under the
method which has been in vogue
until there are more extensions of
and connections with the water
works. And does any one doubt but
what all pumping done heretofore
was reasonably we'll paid for ? Econ
omy should be the watchword.
