Build Chimney
With Eye to Safety
Flues in Chimney Reach En0r-
nous Total Says RObt.
Hargadine

This department has frequent
ly called attention to the fact
that more careful construction
Of chimneys in the rural dis
tricts is absolutely essential to
the safety of the women and
children. They are the ones
who would be the greatest suf-
ferers in case Of fires from de-
fective f1ues, poorly construct
ed chimneys and property loss
from accumulation of SCOT in the
chimney.
Both dwellings and schools
should be subjected to deeper
concern than now is manifested
on the part of rural authorities
In the larger cities there are
building codes to control the
construction of chimneys, but
in the smaller communities, vii
lagos and isolated hamlets there
are no such ordinances-the con-
struction of chimneys depend
ing almost entirely upon the
man who erects the building.
The Fire MarshaPs depart
ment of Minnesota is anxious to
advise all persons as to the prop
err construction of these neces-
sary adjuncts to civilization and
with this end in view submits
the following recommendations:
(A) Careful and frequent
examinations of all fiues and the
correction of defects by owners
and occupants Of dwellings and
schools.
OBJ The elimination of
cracked fues which because of
disintegrating mortar leave
spaces for sparks to escape.
CO. Each community should
establish code making a stan
dard for chimney construction
and requiring that all chimneys
be lined with fire proof flue tile.
CD Compel all contractors
and others erecting dwellings,
schools or other buildings to
have all chimneys erected upon
the ground, and not half way
up the wall as in many instan-
ces.
The resident of the rural dis
trict almost always depends up
on himself or his neighbors in
extinguishing fires and for this
reason, if not for the more i'm
portant one of protecting the
lives of his family, the rural
resident should take extra pre-
cautions in eliminating the cause
of so many disastrous fires the
defective chimney.
This department has records
to show that the financial loss
from fires caused by defective
flues, chimney SCOT and sparks
from chimneys during the last
fiscal year in Minnesota alone
reached the enormous total of
$158,758, and it is safe to as
sumo that if the recommends
tions as suggested above are
adopted, this loss would be re-
duced to a minimum, and the
danger from the loss of life in
many of the residence and school
fires would be practically elimi-
mated.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The southern farmer who appre-
ciates the advantages Of raising him.
self much of what his family needs, is
certain to be confronted at the outset
by the problem of pastures. 1t is al
most impossible to realize a profit
upon any kind of stock without good
pastures and even If the stock is raised
primarily for home consumption rath-
or than for market, the first thing to
be done Is to establish one.
Hitherto the, South has been sadly
deficient in this respect because all the
attention has been given almost en-
tirely to cotton. The southern farm
er, however, can, II he will, have as
good pasture as was ever seen In
Kentucky or Missouri; and have 1t
than is possible in those states. For
permanent pasture a combination OF
bur clover and lespedeza and Bermuda
grass will afford good grazing for at
least ten months out Of the twelve,
for the Bermuda and lespedeza can be
grazed throughout the summer and the
bur clover from January until the Der.
muda comes on again. On light, sandy
soils near the gulf coast carpet grass
may do better than Bermuda. In any
case, however, every permanent pas
ture should have good proportion Of
some legume-either one of those al
ready named or. melilotus, vetch.
white clover or alsike clover.
No matter what combination is Sc
lected 1t takes time and work to pro-

vetches will do for horses and cattle
artichokes. chufas. sweet potatoes and
cassava for hogs. From December to
April oats or wheat and vetch make
the best grazing for dairy cows. Horses
and mules do not care so much for the
vetch but they will eat the grain until
the permanent pasture is ready for
them. One bushel of turf oats or wheat
and one peck of vetch seed are suffi
cient for an acre. II the rustproof oat
is used, the amount should be in
creased about one-half. Oats, however
play such an important part in sound
southern agriculture that 1t will pay
the farmer to study this question thor
oughly.
With little forethought 1t should
be possible for the farmer in the cen
trail and southern parts Of the South
to have fresh pastures for cattle and
hogs throughout the entire year. From
the following list selection should be
possible which will meet conditions on
almost any farm.
January and February-Wheat, oats
and vetch, artichokes. rape, bur clover.
velvet beans.
March-Oats and vetch. artichokes,
rape, bur clover, crimson clover.
April-Oats and vetch, rape, bur
clover alfalfa, crimson clover.
May-Oats and vetch, rape, red Glow
er, alfalfa, crimson clover.
June and July-Sorghum, cowpeas,
red clover, alfalfa.
August - Sorghum. cowpeas, soy

September and October-Sorghum

tatoes, corn, peanuts.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. soy beans, chu-

Observation-Disclosures, chufas. sweet

Through the use of such pasture
crops as these pork can be made more
cheaply in the South than In the corn
belt. 1t costs, it has been calculated,
from one-third to one-half less to raise
hogs when pastures are used than with
concentrated feeds alone. Moreover
the hogs harvest the crops without
danger of loss from rain and without
expense. and finally both the soil and
the hogs gain The soil Is enriched by
the legumes and the health Of the hogs

duce really good pasture. In fact
such a one requires as good soil, as
much work in it's preparation and as
careful handling as any field on the
farm. After the ground has been
plowed or disked and the seed sown
no grazing should be allowed until the
young plants become SO firmly rooted
that they will not be pulled out by
the grazing animals. When seeding
is done in the fall the field should not
be grazed until the growth Is we'll
started and no permanent pasture
should ever be grazed SO heavily as
to injure the stand.
After the pasture has been made,
there are two weeds which sometimes
make trouble, the bitterweed and the
garlic or wild onion. The presence Of
bitterweed is an indication that the
pasture has been grazed too closely
or has been trampled SO heavily that
the surface soil Is too hard and COM
pact for grasses and clovers to grow
The weed is seldom troublesome on
rich soil in good condition and rarely
so on a poor soil which Is not too
closely grazed. The use of fertilizers
or decreasing the number of grazing
animals will aid in eradicating it..
The destruction of the wild onion is
a more difficult matter. 1t can be
killed by deep blowing of the ground
in September or October, followed by
a very shallow blowing In the spring
and then planting the field with some
cultivated crop. However. this meth
cd cannot be followed in an ordinary
pasture where there are many trees or
in any pasture without destroying the
grass and so making the field useless
as a pasture for about eighteen
months. When pasture is not infest-
ed it should be watched closely and
any wild onions which make their ap-
pearance removed at once.
The permanent pasture should be
supplemented by temporary ones. for
which many crops are suitable. For
winter use the small grains and
