T7Oo much cannot be said in praise of the fire drill
system now in general use.
There was a fire in a big tenement house in
Brooklynsthe other day, next door to the Hebrew Orphan
Asylum. At a signal the 400 boys and girls in the insti-
tuition formed in fre-drill parade, and waited, without a
whimper, for further orders from their teachers. For
tunately the fire was soon smothered and the children
quietly broke rank and went back to their various little
beds.
A rather remarkable performance, you must admit,
when you realize that the youngsters were awakened
from sound sleep and were clad only in their little nighties
when they got in line.

On sod. a seed bed should be made
by breaking the land. and If there is
a considerable amount of grass roots
so that the sod Is rather stiff, the best
preparation is obtained by rolling the
sod down until it is perfectly fat,
when 1t may be narrowed to produce
a soil mulch at the surface. The milo
may then be planted with disk drill.

conditions, promise success, as both
have been successfully practised in
