e. G. Bennett, state dairy commits
sioner, Of Carthage, Mo-, delivered
an address at the opera house Mon
day afternoon under the auspices of
the Missouri Condensed Milk Co., Of
this city. Due to a misunderstanding
Of dates and the busy times with the
farmer, the audience was not large,
but those present we're treated to one
of the best speeches along dairy and
farming lines that it has ever been
our good fortune to hear. Mr.. Ben
net urged a cooperation Of the bust
ness men and the farmers Of the
county. and urged them to get togeth-
er for their mutual benefit. He COM
plimented the city of Kahoka on i,av-
ing in their midst the only condensery
in the state OF Missouri and said It
was an institution of great value, to
the farmers OF this section, Of great
er benefit than "a creamery. The
speaker is interested in the Jersey
breed of cattle, but advised the
farmers here who are interested In
dairying and patrons of the milk fac
tory, to take up the Holstein cattle.
Mr.. Bennett said that the state of
Missouri was credited with having
about 100000 cows and that out of
this number at least one-third or
them were not paying for their feed,
In fact were losing money for their
owners He advised the testing OF
cows and the wedding out OF those
not paying, and the breeding up Of
cows to take their places which
would be money makers for their
owners. He said all the effort thus
required was just little attention
on behalf of the farmers. At the con-
clusion OF Mr.. BENEFITS fine address.
a temporary dairy association was
formed with Albert Esley as secre-
tary. Another meeting has been
called for Saturday, June IS, when
1t is expected to make the organiza-
ton permanent and add manv new
names to the fine list secured at Mon.
days meeting.

FIRE PREVENTION PLANS.

| The conference of state fire 1nsur-
ance commissioners in New York this
week will discuss many subjects aside
from regulation of fire insurance COM
panies by law, although that subject
will be especially prominent at this
conference in view of the recent de-
cision of The supreme court of the
United States in the Kansas case up
holding the right of a state to Ak a
maximum rate of insurance by law.
! This epochal decision, which for prac-
! teal purposes places fire insurance
| companies on the same basis as rail.
way and other public utility corpora
lions, will result. in speedy revolu-
ton of the insurance laws of most OF
the states, says the st. Louis Globe
| Democrat.
But, judging from individual ex-
ipressions of commissioners, much
time will be devoted to discussing
| laws tina. will directly affect owners
| of property. There is much sentiment
| in favor of standardizing fire marshal
laws. The experiences of states that
have an entirely separate fire marshal
states where the local f1remen are in
spec.ors and other duties are per
formed by the regular peace officers,
the only special officer being the state
fire marshal and such assistants as he
needs for general supervision. A COM
plete revision of building laws will be
urged in some states. The mainten-
ance of unsafe conditions should be
made a misdemeanor, in the opinion
of all the commissioners. While Fire
Prevention Day has been generally
observed throughout. the country. on
the anniversary of the great Chicago
fire, the general tendency to careless
ness is still marked. The United
States maintains its unenviable record
for number of fires and amount OF
losses by confagration.
The head Of the bureau for pre-
!ven.ion of fires in New York City is
advocating the enforcement OF an OBJ
solete statute in that state and it's en-
actment in other states to make the
owner of a building pay the expense
OF the fire department called to put
out fire in the same and also for
any injuries to fremen incurred at
the same when such owner has vio-
lated the law against maintaining fire
hazards. He says that this penalty is
enforced In France with excellent re-
suits. While this course will appear
drastic to some. who will argue that
I 1t is the duty of officers 20 enforce the
law against fire hazards in advance
of fire instead of penalizing the own
er after ne is already ruined. some
thing should be done to check the
criminal carelessness which has made
Americas fire loss the scandal of the
world. Boston newspaper, in dis
cussing how largely responsible for
fires carelessness really is, recalls the

LIGHTING THE PAssEN GE r
TRAIN.

The electrically lighted passenger
train is no novelty on any first-class
| road but there are few passengers
who can tell how the electric current
| is produced which keeps the electric
lamps burning regardless OF whether
the train is In motion Or not
F'irst-class passenger trains are not
only lighted by electricity but th/ cur
rent has been adapted to drive cleo
trio fans during the hot summer
months and, in one or two instances,
it is also used in the kitchen Of the
dining car where the food is cooked
over the invisible fires Of electricity.
In lighting passenger train pro-
vision must be made for supplying
the current whether or not the train
is in motion. To accomplish this a
stoarge battery is generally installed
in connection with the electrical gen.
orator. There are three systems in
use for train lighting. The first is
the straight storage system which
consists Of a storage battery large
enough to store sufficient current for
the needs Of the train in route between
terminals. or course this storage bat
terry has to be charged before each
trip. The lamps are lighted by mere
ly turning the switch which draws on
the current stored in the battery.
In the second system small gen.
orator is geared or belted to the
wheels of one of the cars. This gen.
orator supplies electricity directly to
the lamps burning when the train is
standing in stations or yards. This
system is rather more complicated
than the first but has the added ad-
vantage that the storage battery does
not have to be charged at the ter
In the third system a small genera
tor driven by Curtis steam turbine
engine, which secures steam from
the locomotive boiler. is used to sup
ply the current This tiny turbo-gen-
orator may be mounted on top of the
boiler or in one corner OF
the baggage car. 1t takes up but very
little room A small storage battery
is used in connection with this set SO
the cars may be lighted even if the
is uncoupled and re-
moved.
The advantages OF electric lights
for passenger trains are many. First
of all they eliminate the dangerous
gas tanks and gas lighting systems,
and the old oil lamps. which usually
set fire to the train in case of wreck.
The electric lamps do not overheat
the car during the warm days of sum-
mer and they do not vitiate the air of
the coaches making travelling uncom-
Portable for want OF good ventilation.

LIGHTNING A PROLIFIC SOURCE
OF FOREST FIRES.

Exhaustive inquiry has established
the fact that lightning ranks next 20
railroads as source OF forest fires.
Forest officers say that the increasing
care with fire on the part of the rail-
roads and the public generally tends
20 make lightning the largest single
contributing cause.
This statement represents change
of view from that held less than a
decade ago in this country, when for
est fires, though it was known that
trees were che objects most often
struck Trees are said to be oftenest
struck simply because they are so
numerous, and extending upward
they shorten the distance between
the ground and the clouds; further,
their branches in .ne air and roots
we'll into the earth invite electrical
discharges.
4 While certain trees are said to in
wife lightning, and others to be Inn
mune from stroke, it seems to be a
fact that any kind Of tree will be
struck, and the most numerous tree
species in any locality is the one
most likely to suffer.
Other things being equal, lightning
seeks the tallest trees, or an isolated
tree, or I one on high ground "A
deep-rooted tree Is better conductor
than a shallow-rooted one, and tree
full Of sap, or wet with rain, is of
course, a better conductor than dry
one.
Lightning sets fires by igniting the
tree itself. particularly when it is
dead, or partly decayed and punky, or
by igniting. the dry humus or dun at
its base. The forest soil, when dried
out, ignites readily, because it is made
of partly decayed wigs and leaves.
and 1t can hold a smouldering fire for
a considerable period. It IS probable
that most of the lightning set fires
start in the dun.
In the mountains Of southern Cali
fornia. Arizona, and New Mexico there
are likely to be each year number
OF electrical disturbances known as
dry thunder storms" They come at
the end of the long dry season, and
being unaccompanied by rain are very
likely to start many serious fires.
For this reason the forest service has
to keep up its maximum fire fghting
In those regions until the
rains are fully established. In the
plans and organization for fire fight
ing the service aims particularly to
catch these unpreventable lightning
set fires at .he time they start.

fact tina. when, early in the civil war
towns Of the north got rumors Of a
confederate plot to send incendiaries
down from Canada to wipe out com
munities, patrols were established
The great care exercised during this
period of alarm had IFS reward. OF
course, the mysterious plot never went
any further than the rumors, but
there were no fires OF any kind. 1t
would have been financially profitable
to the communities If the alarm had
been perpetual.
