PROTECTION OF STOCK
How to Make EffectuaI Lightning
ArreStor on Fence.
Effective Safety Device May Be Made
BY Using Ordinary Fence Wire
Place Ground Wires About
Ten Rods Apart.
a. ]. RRIDGEMANN

An astonishing number of stock are
killed each season by lightning, and
not few human beings, and in almost
every case the dead stock is found
near wire fence. There is no doubt
but that large portion of this stock
and human life could be saved by
grounding the wires of the fence. but
as this calls for a large-sized, rather
expensive wire or iron rod, it is seldom
done.
An effective safety device may be
easily constructed as follows: ANY Or
binary smooth fence wire may be
driven four or five feet deep in the
hardest soil-at either depth the wire
is sure to be in damp, wet soil at all
seasons of the year, Two L by 12-inch
boards, four or five feet long, are
sbeped like a flight of steep steps (as
shown in the accompanying illustra-
tion).
The step-shaped potches should be
about six inches in height and one and
one-half inches deep; in the top CEN
ter of each step a small groove is cut
Gas shown by the darts leading to b
These should be one-fourth inch wide
and about one-eighth of an inch deep
so that when the two pieces are fas-
tened together each step has a one
fourth-inch hole its entire length.
The grooves should be as smooth
and straight as possible, but can be
cut with an ordinary pocketknife il
no other tool is at hand.
Fasten the lower ends Of the boards
together with a small bolt Gas shown
in the left-hand tigure) hold the top
together with the left hand, set the
device where wanted and drop the

Lightning Arrestor.

wire in the top hole; drive down to
the wood, lift the device and place the
wire in the next hole, and so on I'M
til the last hole is reached.
In this manner a very small wire
may be driven in the ground without
bending, and only six inches of same
is above the wood at one time. Splice
the ground wire and connect same to
each wire of the fence and you will
have a frst-class lightning arrestor.
The distance apart these ground
wires should be placed is a question
the writer places them every eight
or ten rods.

HOME RULE FAILURE
Government Admits Inability to Garry
Out Plans

London, July 25.-The Daily News
reports that David Lloyd George, in
view of the failure of the Irish nego-
tiations, in which he was the chief
agent offered to resign his office.
"The Premiers attitude" says
The News, "is understood to be that
if Mr.. Lloyd George resigns he
should consider himself obliged to re-
sign also. The matter is now being
discussed
There is no doubt that the events
of the past week, eliminating in the
Irish fiasco,' adds the paper, have
weakened the Coalition Governments
position
London, July 24.-Premier Asquth
startled the House of Commons this
evening by threatening general elec.
tion over the Irish question.
The threat was made at the conclu
sion OF debate on a motion for ad-
| iournment made by John Redmond,
the Nationalist leader, who said he
| wished to call the attention of the
members of the House to the rapidly
growing unrest in ireland and the de-
plorable effect resulting from the Gov.
| ernment not having carried out in its
entirety the tentative agreement for
a temporary Government in Ireland.
Mr. Redmond's motion followed an
| announcement by the Premier confirm
ing publicly the suspicion that the
| Cabinet had been unable to reach a de
cision on the Home Rule Amending
bill. The stumgling block appears to
have been the retention in the Imper-
ial Parliament of Nationals repre-
| sentaton in undiminished numbers.
The Premier declared bluntly that the
Government had no intention of in
Producing any home rule for Ireland
bin with regard to which there was no
substantial agreement among all par
ties, and 1t was in the course of an
appeal to the Nationalists not to throw
away the opportunity for bringing
home rule into immediate operation
that he made his threat of going to
the country with the whole matter.
Just before the motion of Mr.. Red
mond was voted down. Mr.. Asquith
directly addressed the Nationalists, de.
nying that, any partiality had been
shown to either side during the nego
tiations. He said the exclusion of the
six Ulster counties from the operation
of the Home Rule act was, to his
mind, the greatest give-andtake ar
rangement ever made in the history o
ap Clitical controversy and he asked
: the Nationalists not to break off tht
negotiations.
The expressed determination of The
Nationalists to resist any modification
in the terms of the agreement, and tn,
declaration of David Lloyd George
who negotiated the agreement, tina
, the Government would not force new
} proposals on the Irish nation, wer,
the outcomes of the debate.
The situation in Ireland thus re
mains where it was, with the add
tional factor of the unrest brough
about by the disappointed hopes of
settlement of the issues, In the al
