Five supers.itson..

"If a fire does not burn well" says
the old household superstition. "and
you want II to draw. you should set the
poker across the top bar OF the CRATE"
This is supposed to placate the gnomes,
whom 1t was formerly believed were
very jealous Of the robbery Of their un-
derground country OF It's coal treasures
and were very apt to take their venge-
ance out in preventing the Hre from
burning. It was the mystic form of
the cross thus made which was sup
posed to drive them away. Neverthe-
less 1t would not do to use the shovel
In this charm or the Ere would be sure

Thursday, September 4, 1902,

Albert Gotteschalk, Of Seth, dis
covered Monday morning that II of
his best three-year-old steers had been
killed in the heavy electrical storm Of
last Saturday. This source of loss to
stock raisers confines to be fruitful,
and no doubt will be until a non-metal-
lie substitute for the wire fence comes
into general use. The ravages of the
subtle fluid can, however, be greatly
decreased without going to the extreme
measure Of building a new and radically
different fence. The wire constituting
part Of the fence, usually forms with
some post to which il is attached a more
or less easy path for the passage OF the
static charge to the ground, and the
electricity, with its characteristic sub
tlety, will reach this place e iii has
first to strike the wire at a distance of
a hundred feet or more, which it fire.
quently does. If while seeking its des-
tination in this manner it comes in con
tact with cattle standing affrighted
close to the fence il causes the whole
sale Strengthening with accounts Of
which the papers are filed after any
storm in which lightning is much in
evidence. Now it is evident that by
placing the fence wires in connection
with the ground at short intervals the
distance which the charge will travel
over the wire will be lessened and its
liability to do damage proportionately
reduced. II a piece of heavy galvan-
lied iron wire, number nine will do, is
pushed into the ground along the sur
face Of the post a distance of two feet,
stapled oyer each wire on the post and
cut off about an inch above the top of
the post, a fairly good conductor will be
established, and by proceeding in the
above manner with each post all danger
Of lightning following the wire a dis
lance greater than one-half the distance
between the posts will be eliminated /;
in fact, it is not likely to strike the
fence at all, but the grounded wires,
which terminate in points and are on
Ederably higher than the horizontal
wire. The expense attendant upon the
installation Of this method Of procuring
assurance of the immunity Of your
stock from one of the dangers Of the
conflicting elements is not 80 consider.
