him in surprise-"they act only ac-

Forest Fires.

OF all the foes which attack the
woodlands of North America no other
is so terrible as fire. Forest fires
spring from many different causes.
says Clifford Pinchot They are often
kindled along railroads by sparks from
the locomotives. Carelessness is re-
sponsible for many fires. Settlers and
farmers clearing land or burning grass
and brush often allow the fire to es-
cape into the woods. Some one may
drop a half-burned match or the glow
ing tobacco of pipe or cigar, or a
hunter or prospector may neglect 10
extinguish his camp fire. or may build
it where II will burrow into the thick
dun far beyond his reach, to smolder
for days or weeks, and perhaps to
break out as a destructive fire long
after he is gone. When the duff is
very deep or the soil peaty a fire may
burn beneath the surface of the
ground for weeks or even months,
sometimes showing its presence by a
little smoke, sometimes without Civ.
ing any sign of life. Even a heavy

kind, which often breaks out again
long after 1t Is believed to be entirely
extinct Fires which thus burn into
the ground can sometimes only be
checked by digging a trench through
the layer Of decaying wood and other
vegetable matter to the mineral sol
beneath. Ground fires usually burr
much more slowly than surface fires
but they are exceptionally long lived
and very hard to put out. 1t is Of the
first importance to attack such fires
quickly before they have had time tC
burrow far beneath the surface OF the
ground.

psirrlna in holland.

" TA0AtnIN0s
In an address TO Indiana dsiryuen.
Prof g. L. Mckay said:
No country is more interesting TO a
traveller who Is interested in dairyins
than li.ue Holland. The country Is
peculiarly adapted fer dairying. owing
TO It's cool. moist climate. The north
ern part Of Holland presents veTy
unique picture to the traveller. with its
small. green fields dotted here and
there with numerous wiadnills and
the large herds Of Holstein-Fresian
cows quietly grazing. The monstrous
long-armed vindmills. resembling an
old lighthouse above the sea. are used
for various kinds Of work. They grind
grain, pulTerize rock and manufacture
paper. but their most important duty
Is TO pump out the water from the
marshes into canals so it may find an
exit to the sea. otherwise the lowiand
would be submerged. Excepting
Greece and Great Britain. no country
has so many inlets as Holland. The
Hollanders, as a people, might be
termed little slow. but the govern
ment is certainly not slow in appre
ciating the benefits that the country
derives from dairying, as eight in
structors are employed, largely aided
by the government, whose duty it i:
to give free instruction wherever IL Is
required.
Everything pertaining to dairying II
kept scrupulously clean. even the COWS
in many cases being washed before
they are milked. have never seei

ness is next to Godliness," comes il

than that In any other part OF tn
agricultural district. In the dairy bel
of Holland, daiTying is the chief occu
patton Of the farmer, hence every car
is given to the production Of milk an
the care Of milk. The farmer, as
!, rule. does not try to follow any scient
fc method in feeding. Roots, hay an
oil meal are fed. The oil meal is use
only in the winter when cows are o

Marriages in the United States.

OF the marriages in general in the
United States it is discovered that out
of the 1000 considered 139 men will
have been married at least once be-
fore the celebration under considera-
ton, while the SCI Will have made
women in the case only ninety-eight

improving the Milk supply.

To improve the milk supply 1t is
necessary to reach the producer, and
he cannot be easily influenced. Our
city friends are continually demanding
cleaner milk, but little is done by
them to secure IL. IL is certain that
pure milk could be obtained in a
very short time IL the city people
went to work in an energetic manner
to get it. The producer cares little
for public opinion so lorg as 1t does
not touch him. Bat let an inspector
come to his place and demand to see
his cows and his sheds and say to him
that II these are not satisfactory, mis-
milk will not be received in such and
such place, he will begin to pay re-
spectful heed to the desires Of the in
spector. The most influential in
spector Is the one that stands between
the milk producer and his customers.
This kind of an inspector needs no
| legal power. He needs only the power
that comes from the consumers OF
milk. We believe that this is the way
the milk situation is to be finally i'm
| proved. It amounts to a boycott on
the dairyman that will not keep his
cows and his mixers and his milk
clean.

A continual wedding out should be
practiced in the dairy. Successful
farming is largely the keeping Of
weeds out OF the growing crops. Sue
cessful dairying is keeping the poor
cows out of the dairy herd. There
are other things to be done, bur this
is ore of the more important.
