4 HIGH PPEsSURE REQUIREJlENT

At every fire OF consequence where the high
force of the stream has wreuched the hose from
the hands of the fireInen, putting them in dan
ger and diminishing the immediate efficiency OF
the attack In other respects, with the excep-
ton of the Inevitable drawbacks experienced IN
the handling Of 4 new method of doing anything
the pd deluge has shown that the substitute
for the engines IS of great value. One expert
ence Of this wrenching loose of the hose should
have taught a sufficient lesson TO the fire chief
and his deputies, but the same story Of failure
TO control the hose accompanies the account of
the fires of Thursday night If ii found in
the first instance that two men could not handle
nozzle, more men should have been detailed
for that duty at subsequent fires.
We have a first class agency for fighting the
great scourge Of large cities, and 1t should not
be impaired by heedlessness. The Department
Of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity has con-
Quoted classes among the fiTemeu the iutrica-
cies Of the valves and signals. They are ap-
preaching efficiency IN that respect. The fire
chief and his deputies should be thorough In
their instruction of the men in the handling of
the hose after It hds been properly attached.

FOundered Horses.

A. s. Alexander, veterinary surgeon,
explodes the old idea that a horse can
become "chest-foundered." He says
that such cases are those suffering
from chronic founder (laminitis),
which affects the feet and not the chest.
In Outstanding cases Of foot lameness
the chest muscles may waste away In
sympathy, and that fact has led to
the "chest founder" idea. Such a horse
should be shod with webbed, dat
bar shoes, put on over dressing Of tar
and oakum, and a thick leather sole.
Then clip of the hair and blister the
hoof heads (coronets) of forefeet with
mixture Of one dram Of biniodide Of
mercury and two ounces Of cerate Of
cantharides rubbed In for fifteen min
utes. Wash blister Off In forty-eight
hours, then apply lard daily. BlisteY

Causes OF Roup.

When fowls crow at night, which is
the fact when the number quartered Is
greater than the capacity of the house,
they sweat. This sweating causes the
feathers to rot at the base, giving them
the very appearance of noting This
explains why so many flocks look
ragged in early summer
1t is a noted fact that the majority
Of cases where roup has become cpl
demic among fowls the latter were
crowded in tightly-built houses when
the weather is very cold and allowing
the houses to remain closed all the next
day. This creates a moisture which
generates dampness, and the whole
house feels very much like a vault At
night the house is more or less filed
with dampness emanating from the
fowls breath, but If, on the following
morning, the windows are opened wide,
this dampness will be dlspelled. This
is a great point In favor of the scratch
ing shed plan Of house.

DiskAng Alfalfa.

The work of dlsking alfalfa requires
a little bit Of skill. The disk must be-
set just so 1t will cut the ground suf-
ficiently and do as little damage as
possible. A little experience will en-
able any Intelligent man to do the very
best work In the field. There are times
and conditions when the spring tooth
harrow may do all right, but gener-
ally nothing but good sharp disk with
enough big horses in front and COM
petent man on the seat can do the
work. l use only the smoothing har-
row In the early spring, but after each
moving | use a disk or spring tooth,
whichever think best, always finish
Ing with a spike tooth, so as to leave
the field in the very best possible con-
dition for the growing crop. 1t is q
real pleasure to see the alfalfa start
out anew and grow about one inch a
day on an average.-Denver Field ana

rrnnnnlnnt,nn.

Az the time approaches for removing
young plants from the fats in the
house or from the hotbed outside, an
extra amount Of airing must be given
to harden them. Plants which have
started indoors or under glass are
more or less tender and viii not be
able to thrive under the rigor of early
spring planting without treatment.
They must become hardened, or accli-
mated, to the new conditions
At least a week before transplanting
remove the sash entirely from the bot
bed during the day and allow abund-
ance Of ventilation at night, except
when heavy frost threatens. This will
give the plants practically an outside
temperature for the greater part of the
day and they will grow stronger and
harder thereby. At this time also less
watering should be given to check
growth and make the plants more re-
sistant to the cold. All plants can en-
dure lower degree of temperature un-
der dry than under moist conditions.
Most seedlings are transpIanted di-
rect from the fat or hotbed to the open
garden when they have attained
height of from four to six Inches or
more. When facilities are at hand a
better way is to first transplant them
to cold frame, which is the same az
a hotbed without the heat. In the cold
frames they become accustomed to low
err temperature and are still protected
from frost of nights and on cold days.
A still better way is to transplant the
young plants at the appearance of
their second or third set Of true leaves
to two inch flower pots.

which 1t drops by gravity into the bags.
AS the grain descends the bags are
shaken at regular intervals by an ar
rangement attached to the pulley. The
bags are in this way automatically
lifted off the ground trife at each
turn of the pulley, allowing the grain
to settle, filling the bags to their ut
most capacity. This does away with
the ordinary laborious method formerly
