SAFE HAYcocK. tion of moist or
mere damp hay is not only possible
and even easy, but that 1t is possible
to put in hay in such a 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.
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 dark brown and In some in
stances black and actually charred by
the heat.
1t Is q 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 stun of the same kind, will
oxidise 60 actively as TO take fire.
Secondary fermentation will not pro-
duce sufficient heat TO cause combus-
ton, 80 that IL IL wise precaution TO
have this first fermentation 60 on I'm

common hay cap, while low, broad
one IL impossible to keep dry even

The drawing shows the right shape
Of q haycock and the manner Of max
Ing It self shedding Of the rain with a
cap one and q half yards square Of
common sheeting. II these shaped
cocks are necessarily out in the wealth
er, they win be safe against weeks Of
wed, &c such . misfortune should hap
pen to q 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
win cure perfectly, with no risk of
harm, and once this first fermentation
Is over there win 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.
I am so sure Of the possibility Of
spontaneous combustion Of the hay
that would be very careful to avoid
the risk Of 1t by the simple method Of
having this fermentation 60 on in the
field in safely made cock in which
there is not more than 400 pounds Of
hay.

The Leafess and Triumph Radishes.
A comparison was recently made by
Rural New Yorker between the two
unique varieties Of radish-viz, Tri-
umph and Leafess. This showed that
both kinds are early and that there is
but little difference between them, the
Leafiess being about three days earlier.

RUM IN AFRICA
OF Europeans on Coast OF Africa
Are Due 60 Drink.

The Anglican bishop OF equatorial
Africa has created a profound sensation
by stating that IS per cent. of the
deaths OF Europeans on the coast OF
Africa are due TO drink. The excessive
thirst caused by the burning heat; the
unpalatable water, containing deadly
fever germs; the depression that comes
from lack Of civilized society, with a
feeling akin TO homesickncss there
from, are given as reasons which make
temperance difficult in tropical coun-
tries.
The leading testimony of the highest
medical authorities deserves respectful
consideration. We are told that strong
drink or alcohol in the tropics often
proves fatal 10 both the white and col
ored races, destroying both mind and
body, and that In coast regions like
that OF equatorial Africa, nothing short
Of total abstinence will assure immun-
lily from its dangers" In the face OF
such assertions II is easy 70 understand
why oriental religions forbid the use
Of intoxicants. 1t would be well IL our
American civilizers and Christianizers
would learn this lesson OF total alb
stinence from the "heathen."
Recognizing idleness as most potent
ally OF the drink habit. the British have
provided light games and sports among
their soldiers stationed in tropical
countries. America should not be slow
In adopting like measures for it's 30, 900
men in the Philippines and its several
thousands more in the West Indies,
who are keenly susceptible to tempta-
tions in their peculiar situation.
The European congress, recently in
session In Brussels, and called chiefly
60 consider means OF averting the dan
ger that threatens 20 exterminate the
native Africans as well as resident
Europeans. expressed itself as fully
awake TO the folly of having allowed
the importation of alcohol among the
Africans.
How slow the world is TO learn the
great truth, that all wrongs must at
some time be righted, and that, in the
event of mans Indifference, evil will
perish by tina divinely appointed meth
cd of its own INSTRUMENTATION
