this week has been irregular, work
ing down the forepart of the session.,
but showing partial recovery towards
the close. Stocker and feeder stu
alton has been rather draggy, but
closing tone shows a slight touch of
betterment.
Bearish conditions existed in the
hog trade today. Run was only fair,
but all wires from outside ]centers
showed a sharp break. Locally the
trade worked out on a 1O@15c low
er basis than Fridays average. Tops
landed at $17.04, with the bulk of
sales from $17.15 @17.35.
No sheep arrived for the closing
session of the week and prices were
unchanged.

REDUCTION OF FIRE LOSSES
Lightning Does Damage In United
States to Extent Of About
100000 Yearly.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Lightning, especially in rural dis
tricts, Is a source of great danger and
is responsible for the loss Of valuable
property. The annual fire loss due to
Lightning In the United States aver
ages about $S.OOO,0OO, and by far the
greatest part Of this loss is in rural
districts. The only protection against
1t is the lightning rod. Many people
hold the opinion that lightning rods do
not protect building at all, and that
they actually increase the danger II
they are not properly installed. But II
is now definitely known that they af-
ford some protection In almost every
case, and II they are installed properly
and intelligently they reduce the risk
of loss from lightning to an almost
negligible quantity. From such statis-
tics as are available regarding damage
from lightning in parts Of the United
States and Canada where thunder
storms are frequent, 1t has been found
that properly installed rods reduce the
probability Of barn being destroyed
by lightning by something like 80 per
cent. and Of a house by as much as 80
or 90 per cent.
Farmers mutual fire insurance COM
panies In some instances take cogniz-
ance Of the protection afforded by
lightning rods and make substantial
reductions on the premiums charged
on rodded buildings, while others only
insure buildings which are rodded In
a manner satisfactory to them. Such
reductions will soon pay for the cost
Of installation Of the proper rods. In
view Of the fact that lightning Is one
Of the greatest causes Of fires in the
rural districts, all companies which
insure farm property against fire
should make q considerable reduction
Of premiums In favor Of buildings
which are protected by a satisfactory
system Of lightning rods, and the own
ers Of such buildings should be careful
to select a company which grants such
reductions.

Many weeds are propagated only by
seeds. Weed seeds are produced in
large numbers along roadsides. fence
rows, and ditch banks, in vacant fields,
and In waste places, and the seeds are
scattered by wind, water, birds, and
other agents. By cutting the weeds
before the seeds are sufficiently ma
ture to terminate. an enormous
amount of trouble and labor and loss
could be avoided; but only the most
progressive farmers do this.
