A SAFE HAYCOCK.

ia tiOn 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 its carbonaceous matter.
have st.en hundreds Of mows and
stacks Of hay in my life the center Of
which, when taken down for use, has
been Of dark brown and in some in
stances black and actually charred by
the heat.
1t is frequent occurrence that ships
are burned by spontaneous fires occur
ring in the coal bunkers. The fact is
that damp carbonaceous matters, as
we'll 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-
tion, so that it is wise precaution to
have this first fermentation go on in
the hay in the field, with the hay in
cocks. The form Of the cock is best
tall and slender, for in this form the
cock will shed heavy rains and yet
keep dry, If the top is protected by
common hay cap, while a 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 q 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 misfortune should hap
pen to farmer, for the cap on the top
will turn the water there, and the
sides, we'll 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 would be very careful to avoid
the risk Of it by the simple method of
having this fermentation 60 on in the
field In a safely made cock in which
there is not more than 400 pounds of
hay.

yesterday. 1T may be interesting to
know that last year. they shipped over
5000 head Of stock to the Chicago markets.
and they got such fine prices that they
found 1t more economical to ship out
their steers and buy what meat they
needed than to kill their own beef. Be-
sides this there were two shipments OF
1000 head of horses eacn made last year.
1.-THE first attempt to better the grade
of Indian ponies was also made last year.
The pony herds OF the Crows are sup
posed to number about 10000 in all. Aug
ust Belmont paid the reservation visit
last season to buy up polo ponies. Tho
Indians would not sell him their best

The libel Of j. d. Jones against the bark
Prussia for something like $4,000 was
argued and submitted to Judge Hanford
in the Federal court yesterday afternoon.
An opinion will probably be handed down

This Is another of the cases growing out
of the exciting voyage of the Prussia to
Skagway. during the rush to Alaska In the
spring OF 1898. The libelant brings action on
two assigned claims. one from man named
Roberts and the other from the Lynn
Canal Commercial Company.
Jones claims that the managers Of the
Prussia contracted to carry a number of
horses and a good sized shipment of hay
to Skagway, and also transport a valuable
cargo Of lumber. 1t Is alleged that the

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the
board Of public works will on Monday af.

woodland park with Daniel Jones the
representative of Mrs. Guy c. Phinney.
The contract was submitted yesterday at

Humphrey. The two officials are to exam,
sufiiciency at meeting of the board to

One question arose at the meeting con-
corning the park purchase. This was as
to the lease now held by A. Peterson Of
the ground occupied by the greenhouse
at the park. This lease has eleven years
yet to run. The monthly rental is $50.
No objection to the lease will probably
be made by the city.
