A FOREST FIRE LAST TUESDAY

EohESI fAnh hASI fO GSOAx
At noon Tuesday fire was discovered
in the forest southwest of Custer and
reported to the forest Office. A force of
men and tools were promptly rushed to
the point by Supervisor lines.
The blaze was found to have started
from a prairie Ere near the ranch of
James Perry about thirteen miles south
west of town. By hard and skillful work
the foresters, who were badly handi-
capped by strong westerly wind, sue
ceeded in getting the fire under control
about 4 p. m, at which time approx
imately two hundred acres had been
burned over. A large portion of this
area was covered with a fine stand Of
young timber, az Of which was killed
out by the flames.
On account of the present dry weather
and high winds great care should be ex-
ercised byall residents of the forest zone
toprevent fires as blaze under present
conditions is difficult to control.
The new equipment of the forest SER
vice for fire fighting is great improve
ment inasmuch as force of men can be
put into action in very short time after
fire alarms are turned in and hereafter
this will doubtless prove valuable fac
tor in the saving of timber.

SEVERAL TESTS FOR
DETECTINa A BAD EG g

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside several contributors tell how to
test the freshness and fertility of eggs.
One contributor says that of all simple
egg testers the tumbler egg tester is the
best. He goes on:
take wide -bottomed glass tumble r,
fill half full with water, and lay the egg
in it. If the egg is fresh it will lie flat
on the bottom of the tumbler. If the
egg is about three weeks old the big end
will be raised slightly above the pointed
end. If the egg is three months old it
will stand on the small end, and if older
than three months it will rise to the
surface"
