STATE FIRE MARSHAL'S DUTIES.

The fire marshal law recently passed
by the legislature and which has become
law should. be of interest to all proper
ty owners. Below is a synopsis of the
law.
The most important duty of the lire
marshal is to create universal impress
sion that swift pursuit and inevitable
punishment awaits any one who burns
property for revenge or to defraud. lie
is also given power to correct conditions
which are liable TO cause fires that are
discovered by his inspectors or are re-
ported by citizens.
The fire marshal law pl Divides that the
cause, origin and circumstances OF
every fire occurring in the state in which
the loss exceeds $25 90 shall be reported
to the fire marshal. The report of a lire
in city having fire department is to
be made by its chief; if in city or vii
lage by the mayor or president of the
board; if in a rural community by the
town clerk. The officer is required with
in two days to especially make investi-
cation as to whether such fire was the
result of carelessness, accident or de-
sign"

SUSPICIOUS FIRES.

If there be circumstances which suggest
probability that the fire was started
Intentionally by some one, no matter
how small the loss, the state fire marshal
must be notified at once. If there are
no suspicious circumstances the officer
must within one week furnish to the
fire marshal written statement OF all
the facts relating TO the cause and origin
of the fire and such other information as
may be called for by the blanks furnish
ed by said fire marshal
The penalty for the failure of the
clerk, mayor or fire chief to 80 report a
fire is fine of S25 to 5000.
For the making Of each report town
ship clerks and municipal officers who
do not receive "a stated salary are allow
ed - 90 and ten cents mile to and from
the place of the fire. This money is paid
to the reporters of fires at the year 8 end.
Fire chiefs and mayors receiving stated
salaries get no fee. In few days blanks
and instructions will be mailed to these
officers Upon their active sympathetic
aid the success of the new fire marshal
department largely depends.
POWERS or THE FIRE MARSHAL,
The fire marshal, his assistants or
deputies may take up the investigation
Of any fire ut any time and exercise all
the powers of court. They may com.
pei the attendance of witnesses and the
production of books; may administer
oaths, make arrests, and punish for con
tempt by fine or jail sentence They
may separate witnesses and exclude at
torneys during the examinations. The
fire marshal must reduce all testimony
he takes to writing, furnish copy of it
with all other facts of value to the pros
ecuting attorney Of the county and fol
low each case until it is disposed of.
The fire marshal or any of his assist
ants is given the right, at all times of
day or night to enter building in
which fire has occurred, or the build
ings near by for the purpose of examina-
ton and may "at all reasonable hours
enter any buildings or premises for the
purpose of investigating fire dangers
MAY REMOVE DANGERS.
The fire marshal or his assistants may
direct that any building which is go
dilapidated rs 10 be fire danger shall
be- repaired or that dangers from com
bustlbles or explosives be remedied. The
owner who fails to comply with the or.
der of the fire marshal can be punished
by fine of $40 to $50 for each days
neglect, by suit brought in the municipal
or Justices court.
The necessity of having state depart
ment for the investigation Of suspicious
fires lies in the fact that successful work
in that line can only be done by those
who have "a special training in the pur-
suit of incendiaries; training that
officers charged with other duties have
no time to acquire,

MILK..A PRESENT DANGER,

One of the experts in the bureau of
animal industry in the department
presided over by "Tama Jim" Wilson
makes a startling statement. Dr.
Shredder has been conducting an ex
tended investigation of tuberculosis in
cattle and this is one of the alarming
conclusions to which it has led him:
The terrible destruction of human
life by tuberculosis is almost invariably
caused by drinking infected milk not
by breathing the dried sputum, as is
popularlS supposed. and the havoc
wrought by impure milk is so great that
the government would be amply justi-
fed in levyipg special tax, IL neces-
sary, in order that every COW in the
country should be tested for tubercu-
losis, killed if found infected, and the
owner recompensed for his loss.
What replies are the legislatures OF
states and the health boards and coun-
ellis of cities to make to this bold dec
laration, coming authoritatively from
an acknowledged authority?
Will they continue to establish tn
berculosis hospitals, make stringent
quarantine regulations to prevent the
dissemination of communicable dis
eases and overlook what DR.. SHREDDER
asserts is the leading cause of infec-
ton with the great white plague
Compared to tuberculosis and typhoid
fever, smallpox is as sore finger to a
railroad horror.
Herds should be tested. The pur-
veyors Of milk need watching and reg
ulating. Who has not seen on windy
day the bicycle milk delivery on its
way with a moist tin measure hanging
among the cans at the handlebars? All
the mingled denominations of the street
blow against the measuring cup and
stick to it's surface, wet with the last
measurement Of the portion of the GUS
toner a block away. When that cup
goes down into the can for the next
pint of milk what does it not carry
Of possible infection?
The use of the tuberculin test and
appointment Of milk inspectors who
have some knowledge of their duties
and desire to perform them in the in
terests of the public appear to be SIM
ply the common precautions that ne
elected constitute criminal careless
ness.

RURAL SCHOOLS AND THE FAIR.

RURAL SCHUUlo ANU me fAtns
Friday will be school childrens day
at the county fair. That means that
school children under 10, when accom-
panied by their parents or teachers,
will be admitted free. But school
chiIdrens' days should mean a great
deal more than it does. AS it stands,
the children are admitted free and
somebody saves a quarter. Practically
that is all of it.
Here is opportunity for the rural
school. One of the serious handicaps
Of these schools is the lack of the
school spirit that binds together the
separate schools of the city with
common tie; that leaves Arnold school
say, in Marshalltown, an individual
Jealous Of it's own standing among the
CITY schools, but still more jealous OF
the fame OF Marshalltown high school
among its rivals in the state. What
brings the husky senior and the KID
from the ward kindergarten together
on conlomn ground? Precisely the
homoeenielty that the rural districts
lack and that schoolmen despairingly
predict can never be attained.
Suppose that on school children's
day at the county fair the pupils OF
the county were gathered. Suppose
they came on hay racks and in wag-
ons, "any way to get there" as schools.
Suppose at IL, O'clock in the forenoon
the rural schools, each marked by It's
own banner, cfficered by its own teach
er and led by the county superintend-
emf, fell into line on one side OF MAIN
street? Suppose that the town ana
nity schools Of the county fell in on the
other side. Can any one imagine q
more Inspiring spectacle than that pro-
cession Of the future America? Sup
pose that for that afternoon races took
back seat and the schools put for
ward their best, in field day contests
for county trophies? That spelling
match open to all schools In the coun-
ty, carried with it a school library In
a case marked with the name of the
winning school and the pupil who
won? Would this be worth while and
would it pay for one day better than
the lessons? And wouldn't it be a good
fair that afternoon?
Here and there over the county to-
morrow detected little schoolma am
will sit with two or three pupils putt
ing in the time. The others will have
gone to the fair. When the sub -direc-
tor learns that the best use that could
have been made of that day would
have been to have kept the school to-
gether by sending them all to the fair,
when the rural districts learn to cul-
tivate the school spirit and give the
children Of the different districts
common ground of pride and interest
consolidation will be far away.
Why not do in the county schools as
superintendent Palmer has done in the
city schoolsio Marshalltown, abandon
school work for one day and let every
body go to the fair?

Winter Pasture.

Winter Pasture.
There is nothing that horses and
sheep enjoy better than good blue
grass winter pasture. Some of our
readers may not appreciate the full
Significance of the term. winter pas
ture. However, we may say that in
southern Minnesota and Iowa winter
pilsturing of the horses is coming to
be a very common practice. Now Is
the time to provide for this winter
pasture, as the blue grass will soon be
making it's second growth. II it Is not
pastured from now on, it will throw up
a good growth of which about two
thirds will remain green to make
very nutritious and palatable pasture
for the horses to feed on during the
winter
farmer In Mitchell county, Iowa,
informs us that he has such a pasture
that is almost entirely Of June grass
wt.tsh he uses altogether for his
horses In winter. His practice Is to
shut out the stock from July l until
November l. He then turns in from
ten to twelve horses, which get their
entire living from these thirty acres
from that time until spring, when they
are taken out in as good condition as
they went in in the fall. We are ac-
quainted with another Iowa farmer
that provides his horses and 2-year-
old steers with the same kind of pas
ture. The advantage of having the
horses and steers together is that dur
ing the time when the ground is Gov
cred with snow the horses will paw off
the snow, which gives the steers an
opportunity to get at the grass.

Marketing Old Cows.

This is the time of year when 1t
is desirable to let go of certain per-
centage of the cattle herd. Chief
among this number are the old cows
that have outlived their usefulness in
the herd. The best time for the farm
er to unload this stuff is unfortunately
at about the time when the range
shipments are on. The time when
best prices for common stuff are
realized is after the first of the year
any time before grass comes. Usu-
ally. however, the farmer wants to
unload in the fall. There is always
sacrifice in fall selling.
Those who keep many cows are
