MOST FIRES PREyENTABLE;
HOW 10 STOP DESTRUCTION

4 4 ~ k.t 4 4 4 4 4 4
Millions of dollars worth, of, agricul-
tural wealth is, destroyed annually by
fire in the United States. The United
States department of agriculture, in
emphasizing the fact that all fires, ex-
cept those of incendiary origin, are pre-
ventable, summarizes the points which
the farmer must keep in mind, as fol
lows:
All matches are a possible source Of
danger.
Smoking or striking matches in
barns or stables should be prohibited.
Pouring gasoline or kerosene on a
~smouldering fire endangers life and
property.
Open flame lights should not be used
in a garage or other building contain
ing a gasoline engine or stored gas0-
line.
Never test for gas leaks with a burn
ing match.
Every open fire should be watched
until it is out.
Fire attracts children; children
| cause many fires.
All oiled rags should be kept IN a
| metal c0ntainer with air-tight metal
cover.
The floor beneath stoves should have
metal covering.
The fire hazard should be considered
in locating new buildings.
Woodwork should not come in con
tact with any chimneys.
Remember that responsibility for
| fires rests on individuals.

Give Pasture A Chance.

"The one thing to watch at the pres
ent," says Mr.. Blackman of the Iowa
State College lis not to start pasturing
too soon on the new grass. 1t is a
common practice for the farmer to find
himself short Of roughage and to turn
the cows out as 0 O as any grass APP
pears. Pastures as a result never get
the start they need to be of any use
later in the season and the pasture
yield is greatly decreased"
THE new psature is not very good
since it is of a very watery composition
and men would do better to buy rough
age if necessary to give the pasture
a chance.
''In central and northern Iowa pas
lures are not generally ready until
the middle of May"
las soon as the cows are on pas
ture and the milk flow increases then
the grain ration can be dropped until
the hot weather makes it necessary
TO supplement the pasture and keep
