FIRE may COME FROM GLOVER
Danger in Putting Up This Crop
While Damp and Without
Proper Ventilation.
GEORGE c. MuNsoN.

Glover hay Is now being put up in
many parts of the country. Already
there are reports of overheatinS OF
clover hay. We have letters from many
parts of the country asking how to
prevent it.
In two cases in Hamilton county,
Ohio, and another near Paducah, KY,
it is reported that spontaneous COM
bustion took place and one barn was
burned. A Virginia farmer took most
of his hay out of the barn for fear of
combustion.
There is no doubt that not only clio
yer. but some other crops, as green
sorghum, will become so hot as to
burst into flame when air is admitted.
1t is claimed that alfalfa will become
so hot as to burn itself up, but there
are no we'll authenticated cases Of
this on record.
1t is believed that combustion is pro-
,duced by a fungus which is capable OF
developing great heat under certain
conditions.
If any part Of clover is put into a
large stack or into a barn in large
quantities before it is properly cured
and all dampness removed it is apt to
heat quickly and produce very high
degree of temperature.
The writer has seen hay so hot in
his fathers barns in Illinois that one
could not hold his hands in the mass.
but he has never witnessed a case OF
actual combustion.
He has seen, however, a large shed
on a neighbours farm destroyed by
fire when it was known positively that
no means of setting it on fire could
have been near it for days before.
Hot muggy weather will produce
heat in clover, particularly if it is
heavy and has been cut a little toe
green or has been rained upon. q
Glover should be tossed up into the air
if it is damp and be allowed to dry out
before being put into the stack, and il
1t is stacked green or put into large
close NOV it is pretty sure to make
trouble.
The only way to prevent heating is
TO cure clover hay very thoroughly. II
the weather is wet during haying time
the hay must be given air and cured
in some way. If it is a bad case put
alternate layers of straw or old dry
hay between the layers of new hay
IL the wet or uncured hay is
tramped down in solid mass in a
big stack or barn loft, look out for
heat.
To prevent heating the hay SHOULD
be distributed lightly over the whole
surface of the stack or NOV, and nc
big load should be dumped into one
spot
Hay gathers moisture very quickly
after shutdown. and the last load
brought in should Be allowed to remain
On the wagon over night and when put
into the barn next morning evidence Of
heat should be carefully looked for.
After hay has been put away rur
q long iron rod into it occasionally
and leave it there a few minutes, u
the hay is heating the rod will tell the
story.
1t is dangerous to open up hay tina
is very hot because the admission o.
air is almost sure to start combustion
II the hay is so hot as to make The
rod unbearable TO the hand the only
thing to do is to fill the water buckets
and send for the neighbors.

GET OUT OF THE RUTs

The best system of agriculture is the
one that will return the same net
profits and the most plantfoed to the
soil. 1t seems hard for us to get out
of the old ruts. Some farmers will dig
200 bushels of potatoes from an acre
of land and sell them for $50 and think
they have reached the climax Of profit
able agriculture. but he is like tho man
who paid $4,000 for farm and after
having dug $4,000 worth of fertility
out of it was obliged to sell it for
$4,000. There is no practical farming
that doas ~ aaaintain soil fertility.

TO STOP OUTLYING

Outlying is method Of land wash
ing that will ruin land quicker than
any other form. Owners of hilly or
very rolling land must be continually
on the lookout for little gullies and
take means to prevent their enlarge
ment. In dealing with this subject
the Illinois station says the common
practice is to scatter straw in the
draws or build dams across them at
frequent intervals. A coarser material
used with the straw gives better results
A better plan is to keep the draws in
sod even when the rest of the fields
are cultivated. Almost any grass that
forms a tough sod will answer the pur-
pose, timothy and redtop being quite
setisfactoru

Don't be in a hurry about releasing
him, for the longer he is III the trap
the better opportunity he has of cir
culating the news of his irnprison-

Unless his legs are broken or he is
otherwise injured it is best not to kill
him. Just let him go.
No danger of this one coming back

clear of that cornfeld all season.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK August 17--Irregularity
was the most conspicuous feature OF to-
days stock market. Prices rose and fell
alternately, mostly within a narrow range
a1tbouob some of the more active features
registered substantial gains at the opening.
The trading bore evidence Of bear pressure
and general professionalism, although close
observers expressed the opinion that stocks
are gradually passing into stronger hands.
This belief appears to be based largely upon
the operations of certain prominent brok-
erage houses well the continued
ease of money, further prospects of good
crops and advices from the leading railroad
centers which almost uniformly report in
dications of awakening business. At the
moment, however. it cannot be said that
traffic is more than holding its own but
the trunk lines well supplied with cars
and making ready for the prospectice I'M
provement.
Quite the most important development of
the day in railroad circles was the publ
cation of the annual report of the Harri-
man lines for the fiscal year The Union
Pacific system showed a net loss compared
with the previous year Of about $2,l1OOOO
while the Southern Pacific railway reported
a net decrease for the same period OF $S,-
368O00 In both instances, however, the
falling off was largely due to Increased
taxes, that item in the Union Pacific state
ment being 1875 per cent greater than IN
19O6-07 and Southern Pacific 1886 per cent
greater.
Both lines show material gains in net
earnings The pessimistic utterances of the
Rock Island-Frisco system dealing with
general railroad conditions in which the
statement was made that 100000 men are
out of employment excited some interest
but did not have serious effect.
As q whole the coaers held comparatively
firm, though Reading frequently under
pressure Smelling led the industrial stocks
making a sharp recovery from Saturday S
loss and the coppers moved In sympathy de-
spite another cut in the price of the metal.
The declaration of per cent dividend,
presumably for the quarter by the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey in place of a
previous disbursement of So, was the only
noteworthy feature of the outside market.
The vagaries of a well known market
manipulation from New England caused
some uneaslness in some conservative quar-
tiers, but elsewhere they were the subject
of good natured ridicule. Much the greater
part of the days business was done early
in the session, trading becoming very re-
stricted, while the list developed heavy
undertone. In the last half hour, under
the lead of Smelling and Reading, the
market grew strong and the closing was
active at the days best prices.
The general bond market was easy. Total
sales par value. s1,134,000.
Government bonds were unchanged on
call

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, August 17.--With suitable
weather for harvesting, the belief that
the northwestern movement will be early
and heavy, took a stronger hold on many
wheat traders on the local exchange and
they eagerly took profits or sold for short
account. The offerings were too much for 0
market without any great amount OF out
side speculative support and consequently
a decidedly heavier feeling prevailed from
start to finish. At the low point prices
were firm, ~ 30 TO IN below the best marks
for the day. Extreme weakness of the Min
neapolis and Duluth markets which appar
emily confirmed the good crop reports gave
additional impetus to the declining ten
dency here There was a moderate rally
from the low point but the close was weak
September opened % Nc lower to shade
and closed at 91%c.
Ideal weather generally for corn caused
free selling of that cereal at the start ano
resulted in a moderate decline. The slump
in wheat also inspired some selling but a
number OF damage reports from central and
southern Illinois and from Missouri tended
to offset this influence. The close was
weak. September opened " % NC lower at
1914 a 475Kc, sold between 751sc ana 10 9sc
and closed at 76kc.
Oats opened easy in sympathy with wheat
and corn, but later the market rallied on q
good shipping demand The market closed
firm. September opened Is q &c to u a 9sc
lower at 45%c to 45%c, advanced to 461sc
and closed at 1850.
Provisions were firm early in the day but
weakened owing to the break In corn and
wheat. At the close pork was unchanged
at $15.071s, lard was 2hc lower at $9.27h
and ribs were 5@7hc lower
