PARIS FIRE FIGHTERS.
Efficient Department Is Conducted at
a Minimum Expense.

There were 2049 fires i'm Paris in
1908 2,167 in 1909, and 2,O3O in 1910,
writes Consul General Mason. The re-
turns for 1908 have been analyzed in
official reports and show that there
were 1874 fires where the loss was less
than 1,OOO francs ($193) i'm each case,
the total losses for such fires aggre-
eating $46,494 Fires in which the loss
was more than 1000 francs numbered
AIS. with an aggregate loss of $1,343,-
9l9. The total loss for all fires in
1905 was $L39O,41S.
The Paris fire department at present
includes 1,SO3 officers and men, or one
to 1919 inhabitants, the population be-
ing 2,S46,937. The cost of mainten-
ance of the department i'm 1909 was as
follows: Salaries, officers $64,2G9: men
S4O5. 800; material and apparatus
$l5S, telegraph and telephone, $l2.-
COS; all other expenses $56,491; total.
$696l51. The average cost an inhabi-
tant was about "a cents.
The department is well organized
and managed. and although its APP
paratus and methods are relatively
primitive and inexpensive as compared
with those Of fire departments i'm the
larger American cities, il does with
reasonable promptness and efficiency
the work that it has To do.
one Of the most effective units of its
equipment is an automobile wagon
carrying eight men, including the
chauffeur, and short sections of hose,
65 buckets one hand pump, three lad
ders 10 feet in length. together with
axes. hammers and other necessary
tools. 1t is quick in movement, and
is able to eXtinguish the vast major

safe construction of buildings and the

History Of Masonry.

II is impossible. of course. TO fix
exactly day and year and say II was
the birthday of Masonry It is just as
impossible to bark back to a day and

have, perforce. been content for the
most part with legend as to the ORR
gin OF institutions.
While II is a recognized truth that
the rites and symbols OF the Masonic
order are Of great antiquity, II appears
that the society as II is now consti

centuries old. For this we have
so good authority as the recognized
historians and students OF Masonry.
The fables which carry this fra

GROW ALFALFA ON DRY LAND
Excellent Plan to Select Strain That
Grows Coarse, Strong stalk--DrIlI
Seed Carefully.

In adapting alfalfa to dry farming
n very good plan is TO select strain
that grows a coarse. strong stalk. use
the same strain OF seed year after year
and thus adapt the plant to local con-
ditions. We would prefer TO pay
dollar q pound for seed grown several
years under such conditions than to
use seed at market prices that has not
been acclimated. The alfalfa seed

raj department foisted on us several
years ago is rot suited to high table
lands and does better In fields under

GOOD OATS FOR DRY FARMING
Best Plan to Sow Two Varieties,
kherson for Early Crop and swed.
lsh Select for Late.

(By J. f. PAYNE. Colorado Agricultural
College)
or the many varieties of oats
which we have tested on irrigated
land. the Kherson and Slxty-day have
generally made the best yields OF
grain. This has been because these
varieties are early-maturing. Usual
ly. the earliest variety of oats will
give the best results on unirrigated
land; but some years the drought
comes just as the early varieties are
heading or filling. They are then cut
short. 1t often happens that rain
comes just few days too late to
make the early oats fill well. In such
n time, q variety which ripens ten
days or two weeks later will be head
ing just at the right time to be bene-
flied by the rain which was too late
for the early variety. In this case,
the later variety will make a good
crop when the early one will fail.
With these facts before US. we can
see that 1t is a good plan to SOW two
varieties OF oats: Kherson for early,
and Swedish Select, or Colorado No.
81. for the late variety: then, II
drought strikes either variety, It may
give a small yield of hay. The later
varieties of oats will usually make
more straw than the early ones. so
they may be planted for hay. Land
which has been in corn the year be-
fore. and has been given clean culti-
walton. will usually furnish good
seedbed for oats by double-diskins
