BIG FIRE LOSS IN

Loss During 1916, Accord

WASHINGTON. March "A loss

was caused by fires on the nation
al forests in 1915. according 70 sta
tistIcs compiled by the forest serv-
ice Although there was more than
the average number Of fires. the loss
is the smallest that has been sus-
tanned from fires since the national
forests were established. a favora-
bic season i'm the regions where the
most severe damage is usually sus-
tanned is given as the chief reason
for the relatively small loss.
A total OF 299. 377 acres Of gov
eminent land was burned over. In
addition 20 this. the fires covered
123.160 acres OF privately owned
land in the national forests, where
timber valued at SS6,21f was con-

tai area burned was located in the
national forests Of Arkansas and
Florida.

OF these small fires. according to
the forest service, might have de-
veloped into serious conhagrations
had they not been extinguished in
their incipiency.
The average cost OF fighting each
fire was approximately half that OF
former years. Lightning was the
chief cause OF the drese and was re-
sponsible for % per cent Of all those
which occurred. The causes of rs
per cent were unknown, while care

There was a slight increase in the
fires of incendiary origin, as well as
those started by sparks from loco
motives. With the exception of those
caused BY lightning all the fires
were due TO human agencies One
fire in Idaho which burned 10000
feet OF timber was caused by the
carelessness of a 10-year-old boy.
The season was one or particular
severity in the southwest, as well as
parts OF Colorado and Wyomins
whore local weather conditions
created at times a grave situation.
In Washington heavy loss was
caused by fires which started in in
accessible places and which the
rangers were unable 20 reach for
several days because of the lack OF
trails.

HOW To PRODUCE
EGGS IN WINTER
Proper Method and Care in
Handling Birds viii Increase
Supply in Scarcity"

Poultry owners who wish to OBJ
tain satisfactory production Of eggs
during the fall and early winter
should arrange to hatch pullets in
March or April. Birds Matched at
this time will be well matured in the
fall. Furthermore. a greater pro-
portion of them will go broody early
in the spring. thus completing the
circle necessary for production in
the fall.
PuIlets matched in the spring can
be induced to lay more abundantly
in the winter If they are properly
fed. housed. and handled. On the
average general farm. very few eggs
are secured at the time when eggs
bring the highest prices. 1t will pay
the poultry owner. therefore, TO de-
vote a little trouble to providing
his birds with the most favorable
surroundings for the winter.
The house should be thoroughly
cleaned. dLsinfected, and made tight
before the cold weather sets in. If
the house has a dirt floor, it is well
to remove three or four inches of
dirt from the top and TO replace this
material with dry gravel or sand. on
cement or wooden floors four or five
inches of fresh straw or litter may
be thrown down after the floor has
been cleaned.
Ventilation is another important
factor 90 consider. The house should
be tight on three sides, but for the
fourth muslin curtains may be used
for from one-thiTd to One-half its
extent. IN any case, there should be
some ventilation in the house, even
on the coolest nights. Fowls will
stand considerable cold air. pro-
vided it is dry. and ventilation viii
keep the air thoroughly dry in the
house. on the other hand, drafts
are likely TO cause roup and other
trouble.
Many farmers. in feeding their
birds. overlook the fact that beef
scrap or some similar feed is very
essential during the winter months
If a good supply of eggs is 10 be OBJ

feeding beef scrap is in a mash
made of -three parts corn meal and
one part each Of wheat bran. wheat

i'm place of the beef scrap, but if the
supply is limited some scrap also
should be fed.

would add at least IS years to the
average human life.
Health insurance is bound to af-
ford a very powerful and pervasive
stimulus to employers. employees and
public men to prevent illness by the
use of health-saving devices in the
same way that the "workmen's com
pensation" insurance recently adopt
ed in the United States has caused
the adoption of all kinds of accident
preventing appliances.
Just as employers have installed
safeguards for dangerous machinery
in order TO reduce the cost of work.
mems compensation. so in order to
reduce the cost of health insurance
they will supply, for instance. bet
ter sanitation, ventilation and light
ing, more physiological hours Of la
Dor and fuller consideration for the
special needs of employed women
and children.
The employee, on the other hand,
Will be likewise stimulated TO well
come and to utilize factory hygiene
and improve his own domestic hy-
giene and individual hygiene.
Both employer and cmploye will
cooperate with the general public
in securing public water supply, bet
ter sewage systems, better milk.
meat and food laws, better school
hygiene, more Fairgrounds and
parks and proper regulation OF liq-
uor and other health destroying
businesses.
One important effect OF such at
tention to the health of the work
man will be the prolongation of his
life and especially of its earning
period. Fewer workingmen will be
thrown on the scrap heap in their
40's, with all the tragic consequences
involved TO their families, as well
as to themselves.
Health insurance will also operate,
as it did in Germany, to stimulate
the general scientific study of disease
prevention, the future possibilities
of which, though unknown, are
surely enormous.
But prevention of disease and dis
ability is not the only prevention TO
be effected by health insurance. 1t
will indirectly but powerfully tend
10 reduce poverty because il will
tide the poor man over his illness
and prevent him from getting en-
tirely down and out"
We may also expect health in
surance to help prevent strikes, for
it will provide the means of bring
ing employers and employees to-

DYNAMITE PROVES BIG
AID TO THE FARMERS

In the current issue of Farm and
Preside a writer points out some of
the various uses of dynamite on the
farm as follows:
On my farm we cave found that
there are many jobs which come
along In the course OF a year which
the stored4Up power in a stick of
dynamite will do quicker and cheap
er than we could do ourselves We
have uAed many tons Of il. and with
few exceptions the results obtained
have been excellent. There is little
danger in the using Of dynamite
in fact, absolutely no danger what
soever, provided one first realizes
that he is handling an explosive and
then uses good sound common sense.
When I came on the place /
found a plot OF about two acres off
TO the south from the house and
barn. The soil was a rich loan. and
il was getting all the drainage from
my coward and stables.
Il believed that it would make a
fine truck garden, but there were
bout 200 stumps on the lot. With
the help OF one man / started i'm 10
clean the lot with the use OF dyna-
mite. tt took us three days. and the
cost of the dynamite we used was in
the neighborhood OF $50.
I'VE followed the rule a pOunO
of dynamite for every foot IN the
diameter OF the stump and i'm most
cases the stump was removed with
a single charge. On three or four
stumps we used a double charge.
The explosive was in each case
placed as near directly under the
stump as possible.
a few years ago I planted 500
apple trees and used powder for
blowing the holes Their growth has
far surpassed some which were set
in spade-dug holes st the same
time I have had 20 remove fruit
from these trees every year 10 pre-
vent their coming into bearing.
a similar experience with grape
vines has convinced me that trees
and shrubs viii do much better
where the explosive is used either to
MAXI the holes for the original
plarung or. in case they are al
real planted. break mp the soil
about the growing trees"
