GILMAN FARMER ENDORSES
COUNTY AGENTS WORK

Just had my chickens culled out"
said Peter Ofstie, of Gilman, as he
handed the editor an advertisement
about some stock for sale; 81 had toe
many hens, so | got Seyforth to Gull
them out, and sold those that wouldn't
have paid their way this winter. II
] had picked them out for sale ID
probably have sold some good layers.
Got over $50 for some hens that new
err would have done me any good"
What's your opinion of the value of
a county agent to the farmers ir
Pierce county? Mr.. Ofstie was asked.
eff every farmer in the county cal
led on him as often as l do we'd need
three county agents." he said. cts
a farmers own fault if he doesn't
get good use of the county agent
I'm sure he stands ready to help any
of US. And he's we'll posted too"
Don't you find that the best farm
ers use the county agent most?
He laughed. Well, l can't say
about that, seeing l holler for help
from him so often. But l know that
if a fellow will ask help from the
county agent he can't help learning
more about his business"
Mr.. Ofstie is a good dairyman, We
who know him know that he is a bet
ter dairyman now than he was five
years ago, and we expect him to be
still more proficient at his business
five years from now. For he knows
enough to be able to learn more, and
to want to learn more. May his
tribe increase.-Spring Valley Sun.

WINTER FIRES

" ~ LIN hANA1ND
With early winter and cold wealth
er upon us and stoves, furnaces and
boilers going, extra care is necessary
to prevent fires, and so protect pro-
perty and human life.
Wisconsin's fire loss for 1924, as
reported to the state fire marshall,
was $40 ,431, $50. Of this great waste,
a loss of 81, 4OO,7O1 was due to heat
ig plant defects and mismanage-
ment,
Defective chimneys, unclean Chin
neys burning out, sparks from chin
neys on single roofs, defective
stoves, furnaces. boilers and fire
places, stoves, furnaces and smoke
pipes too near unprotected woodwork,
clothing hung too near stoves and
smoke pipes and placing asheo in
wooden receptacles or against COM
bustible walls are the causes assign
ed.
Let it be noted that there is moth
ing technical about these fire causes,
nor the remedies necessary to cor
rect them. The careful man, who
wants to protect the lives of those
dear to him, and his property, can
easily discover such fire causes and
can readily correct them. Newspap-
err items such as 'home in ashes"
Overcome by smoke" burned while
they slept" escape in their night
clothes" or escape cut off" all point
to some careless man, some guilty
conscience. Such fires can be pre-
vented. Answer NOW conscientious
ly the following questions, or the
coroner will answer them for you
later:
Is the chimney free from cracks,
loose brick and other defects, ard is
it clean?
Is any woodwork in direct contact
with the chimney?
Are boilers or furnaces set on
brick or concrete base?
Is the floor under stoves protected
by a stove board?
Are ceilings, partitions and walls
within two feet of the stove, furnace
or boiler protected with metal over
asbestos
Is the ceiling within a distance of
one and one-half times the diameter,
and the wall or partition within a
distance of the diameter of the
smoke pipe so protected?
Is there a ventilated double
thimble and asbestos around the
smoke pipes in partitions?
Is there a smokepipe running
through an attic or other concealed
space?
Is the smokepipe sound, well joint
ed and wired, properly fitted into the
chimney, and is it clean?
Does the wall paper come up
against any smokepipes?
Are the flue holes stuffed up with
rags or covered with wall paper or
wood
Is your single roof moss covered
and defective so as to become readily
ignited by chimney sparks?
Is the stove, boiler or furnace
sound?
Is the woodwork around hot air
registers and pipes protected?
Do you store ashes in wooden re
ceptacles, on wood floors, or against
walls, partitions and fences?
Is your boiler room clean, and kept
so?
Do you overhead the stove or fur
mace, or leave drafts wide open?
Timely repairs and cares along
these lines may save you dough
and woe.

situation is promised for the coming
game.
TALBOT and Tollabracht, tackles,
are in poor condition and injuries
have hit Jones, the big fullback.
Keefer also is suffering from bruises
but intends to play throughout the
Colgate contest. He ran thirty-f five
yards for q touchdown against Yalo
and his work against Dartmouth put
Brown into scoring position, where
q touchdown was lost when an end
was off side.
At the Polo Grounds in New York.
Harlan Carr OF Syracuse, third
among the eastern scorers, will meet
the flashy George Pease, Columbia
captain. Syracuse is u slight favor
lite in this game but must reckon
with the speedy Columbia quarter
back who has been creating history
since returning to the fray after an
early season injury.
Another individual test, that be-
tween Emerson Carey of Cornell,
and AL kruez Of Pennsylvania at
Philadelphia, has been set aside by
injuries. If they are able to play
there should be O. brilliant kicking
