will absolutely protect in al
cases; but the cases are rare in
which a properly constructed
lightning rod will not furnish
protection.
A lightning rod, to be efficient
must be of sufficient size, must
have good conducting power,
must he put deep enough in the
ground to reach permanent mois-
ture, must be in close metallic
connection with the building to
be protected. and must termin-
ate in one or more sharp points
and be properly braced. It may

self. say of three-quarter round
iron, with close connection be-
tween each section adapted to
the shape of the building in close
metallic connection with it and
terminating in a sharp point or
points. Most farmers, however,
prefer buying their rods rather
than going to the trouble and
taking the risk themselves. Any
company that advertises in our
columns is reliable and will be
glad 70 give information to our
readers on this subject.
While you are putting up a
Lightning rod on your barn, put
one on the house; for however
valuable your barn may be, your
family is worth far more than
the barn and all that it contains.
Then while you are about it, or
at least the next time you repair
your fences, ground all your
wires every ten or fifteen rods
at least. This can be done by
simply running a small wire into
the ground as far as you can and
stapling it to the post, putting it
in close metallic contact with
every wire on the fence. Having
done this. you may feel reason
ably safe.

The County Farm.

The County Court at a recent
session decided to dispose of the
county farm upon the recon-
mendation of the May term
grand jury. AS the Cape Re-
publican, that Watch dog of
the Treasury" is having spasms
over the course of the court in
this as in other matters, we pub
lish the report of the grand jury
on the condition of the county
farm. 1t must be remembered
that very few. if any, able-bodied
men seek admission there and
all farm hands have to be paid.
The grand jury in its report said:
"As per the Courts instruc-
tions, we have visited the county
farm and made an examination
of the buildings thereon. which
we found clean and newly white
washed. There are no COM
plants of inattention or i'll
treatment of the inmates. The
farm contains over two hundred
acres, and seems to be deterio-
rating, as a farming proposition.
We have investigated the income
received from the farm and ex-
penses to run it, and believe it
would be a wise move if the
county would dispose of the
farm and buy twenty or thirty
acres of land, put good buildings
thereon, suitable to the present
need and go out of the farming
business.

Lightning Rods.

From Wallacc'~ Farmer.
A Missouri correspondent
writes:
Since harvest and after barns
have been filled with hay, there
have been a number of losses by
lightning. Does a barn full of
hay draw lightning; does any
thing draw lighting?"
1t has been known ever since
the time of which the memory
of man runneth not back to the
contrary" t h a t in sections
where large quantities of hay or
grain are stored in barns there
is more or less danger of these
barns being struck by lightning.
The loss from lightning in the
month of August was one of the
fears ever in the mind of the
Pennsylvania farmer in our boy
hood days. The belief was.
and there was probably good
scientific reason back of it
that the vapor arising from the
heated hay or grain furnished
an excellent conductor for the
electric fluid at this time of the
year, when lightning storms
were frequent.
The thing to do is this and in
all other cases is to protect your
barn and your house by lightning
rods, and your fences by ground
ing the wires. We do not say
that any kind of lightning rods

Banks and Trust COMPANIES.

No depositors in any bank or

ION OF Bank Commissioner John
h. Swanger has lost a dollar of
his or her deposits since ct.
1907. Mr.. Swanger had super
vision of all banks and trust
companies te cept National
banks) when he was secretary
OF state. He was appointed state
bank commissioner, with au-
thority to supervise ali state
banks and trust companies when
the laN creating that office be-
came. effective in January, 1909.
The Democrtie senate refused to
enact legislation which the State
Bankers Association and Mr..
Swanger regarded as essential
to successful bank supervision.
yet the Office as been so success
fully conducted that depositors
in banks and patrons of trust
companies have been well pro-
tected and banks and trust COM
panies have been managed bet
ter than every before in the
history of the state. From June
30. 1909, to June 80, 1910 de-
posits in state banks and with
trust companies increased to the
extent of $36, 641, ,5O3.12. Two
state banks suspended during
that period for liquidation and
fif.y-nine new banks and trust
companies were licensed to Go
business. There has been bank
scandals and the people have
manifested extreme confidence
in the stability and safety of
state banking institutions. Like
every other department of the
state government under a Re-
publican governor the banking
department has made a splendid
record. The fact that in the
banks and trust companies, un-
der the jurisdiction of Mr.. |
Swanger, depositors have more
than $7S3, 900, 600 to their credit
indicates the Importance to the
people of the work he is doing. |
And the fact that not dollar
of such deposits has been lost to
depositors in banks under his
Supervision shows that he has
been keeping close watch on
banking conditions and tranac-
tions.

mer, who emigrated three years
ago from a good farm near
Wellsville in Montgomery coun-

Missourians to remain at home
