There have been many theories to
account for the spontaneous combus-
ton of hay stacks. This phenomenon
is now ascribed to a microbe which
breeds in the close, moist atmosphere
OF the hay and causes a fermentation
which generates heat, and finally
ignition. Herr Benesch, who has an
experimental farm at Meirhof, has long
been making tests of hay under vari-
Gus conditions of moisture and pres
sure. During his experiments he dis
covered method by which farmers
can always be cognizant OF the state
of the interior of the stack. He has
devised kind Of long fork, by which
a sample of hay can be drawn from
any part Of a stack at any time and ex-
amined to see whether 1t is abnormally
warm or not.
