Fire Escape for Horses.

A large packing concern In Califor-
pia has installed an automatic means
for opening the doors of its horse sta
BILE which allows the horses to escape
ct any time of the day or night IL
there is danger Of fire, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The device
is operated much the same man
ner as an automatic sprinkler. When
the temperature in the stables
rises to certain point . weight
is released which falls on q lever
that in turn releases all the doors
simultaneously. At the same In
slant certain noises are made me
chanically which brighten the horses
from their places. The releasing lever
is occasionally operated by hand to
give the horses fire drill. Each
horse soon learns to trot from its stall
when the door opens and the alarm
sounds.

the most valuable use OF the lcgume
is for green manuring, according to

cause of its rank growth 1t is in high
favor as a green manure. The roots
are large and aerate the soil in
greater degree than either alfalfa or

after both, sweet clover and alfalfa,
claim that the former contributes
more to the fertility than does the all
faifa. 1t Is claimed that sweet clover
seeded with oats makes a satisfactory
growth after the oats are harvested
and will produce the following year
