Hither the owner must be deprived of what may have been the fruits of '20 of the best years of ills life, or the Insurance company will be called upon for a check, which lias to come out of the premiums paid by himself and other property owners. If there are many llres, tho Insur ance rates Increase. In mutual com panies, which carry n large proportion of farm Insurance, the lncrense Is Im mediately felt. In a recent year there wore more than ."8,000 farm llres In the United States, entailing a loss of more than $1S,000.000, of which 33 per cent was held to have been prevent able. Strive to Prevent Fires. Prevention of llres was made a special subject of consideration In churches, schools, public gatherings, and farm organizations for an entire week this October. The farmer, with the accumulation of many years tied up In his buildings, may well make every week lire-prevention week. According to the United States De partment of Agriculture, practically every lire Is preventable, except those caused by lightning or of Incendiary origin. Even when the best preven tive measures fall and fires break out, preparatory measures will put tho farmer and his neighbors In better shape to subdue them. Every fire must have an initial flame, whether It be from a carelessly thrown match or cigarette, an ex plosion of kerosene or gasoline, an explosion of grain dust In n thrash ing machine, or sparks from a sooty chimney or passing engine. Matches never should bo left loose or within the reach of children. Put them In noncomhustlble containers ond have a pocket match snfe. Better yet, ii'-e safety mulches, which can bo scratched only on the bow Smoking never should bo permitted around the barn or in tho vicinity of inflammable matter. Matches, cigar or cigarette stubs never should bo thrown where they can do harm. Kerosene and gasoline nro useful servants, but destructive when let loose. They should be rigidly confined nnd never allowed to mix or change places. Kerosene lamps should be solid of base to prevent tipping over. If they aro of metal, there Is no danger of their breaking and spilling oil. The wick should fit tightly to prevent vapor from the bowl reaching the (lame and Igniting. They never should be filled in the presence of an open flame. Gasoline cans should be easily dis tinguishable from kerosene cans. It Is better to store the gasoline In n buried tank. At least the tank should be away from buildings. Vapor never should be allowed to escape In n close room or where there Is any fire. Stoves Cause Many Fires. Overheated stoves and dues causo many fires. Chimneys should be bullt. A Moment's Carelessness May Hogging Down Corn.. Hogging down some of the corn to an economical way of harvestlnj. It. !

They should bo cle.-tr of the woodwork and should ul ways he kept clear of soot. Stovepipes should never pass through Inaccessible places like a closet or garret. If they must pass through tho wall, see that the stove pipe hole Is provided with a good "thimble." Where walls and ceilings are near the pipe cover them with metal or asbestos. Every stove should have a piece of sheet metal under It to protect the"' floor from hot ashes and live coals. Never leave inflammable rubbish near buildings. Remove It. If It must he burned, pile It In small idles, so tho bhi7o never can get out of control. It Is best not to have the children near the lire. This is perhaps a hardship. At least they can be kept from play ing with the fire. When new buildings nre to be con structed proper spacing and tho liberal use of concrete and mnson work will reduce fire liability. Smoke houses should never he built so that hot coals can start a blaze. Hot ashes never should be dumped In Inflam mable receptacles. Fire-Fighting Equipment. In the way of providing .Ire-fighting equipment much can be done without great outlay. Barrels of water on the roof and pails of water kept standing In convenient places will possibly save disastrous loss. If there Is an ele- vnted tank or a force pump, a hose connection will be found Invaluable In time of need. A ladder that will reach the roof should always be available for Immediate use. Sand should be kept hnndy to throw on gasoline and oil fires; water only scatters them. There are n number of simple chemical extinguishers on the market, some commercial and some homemade. With the present widespread use of automobiles, a rural fire compnny, equipped either with motor pump or large chemical extinguisher, or both, can eas'ly he organized and equipped. Every farm fire suggests preventive and protective measures that should have been provided. Take a little time nnd provide them In advance. Poultry Like Corn. Corn seems to be the grain most de sired by poultry, but too much hns a tendency to put on fat rather thun produce eggs. Cuthbert Berry Favored. Cuthbert Is one of the best red raspberries, but as a rule the reds are not as hardy as the blackcaps. Better Quality Needed. Better quality Is needed with the live stock on many farms. Purcbreds Are Best. The purebred sire Is better than tho grade. So Is the purebred female. Reduc e a Fin Property to Ruln ! Most Expensive Sire. Yfce most expensive aire Is the wu. Plant Has Peculiar Property. Pitcher plants catch In their "pitch ers" not only Insects and spiders In Immense numbers, but also, occasion ally mollusks and crustaceans and even true frogs and lizards. Some species of lnects are adapted for liv ing with Impunity In the pitchers, where they feed on the remains of the captured Insects. DON'T FEAR ASPIRIN IF IT IS GENUINE Look for Name "Bayer" on Tablets, Then You Need Never Worry. To get genuine "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" you must look for the safety "Bnjer Cross" on each pnekage and on each tablet. The "Bayer Cross" means true, world famous Aspirin, prescribed by physi cians for over twenty-one years, and proved safe by millions for Colds, Ilend ache, Earache, Toothache, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Neuritis, and for Pain In general. Propor nnd safe directions are In each unbroken "Bayer" package. Advertisement. Women Porters In London Market. In the famous Coent Garden llower market in London, the work of car rying Is done largely by women por ters. A somewhat odd recognition of their work Is received annually by these llower porrs In the shape of n shawl and tw .o 'ons each, a gift from the duchess of Bedford. Cutlcura for Sore Hands. Soak hands on retiring in the hot suds of Cutlcura Soap, dry and rub In Cu tlcura Ointment. Remove surplus Ointment with tissue paper. This Is only one of the things Cutlcura will do If Soap, Ointment and Talcum are used for all toilet purposes. Advertisement. Roads Speedily Resurfaced. Closing London's busy roads for several days while they were resur faced was Inconvenient nnd Interfered seriously with trnllle. A now method permits the rond to be completely re paired and opened to traffic again three hours after the repair crew goes to work. Tar Is vaporized In n trav eling cart and pumped through the sprayer at high pressure, which forces It deeply Into the bed of the .ond. While tho tar Is still hot, there are men following behind the sprayer to sprinkle fine gravel over the surface, nnd ns soon ns the tar hardens, which takes only three hours, ns stated above, the road can be thrown open for traffic. Popular Science Monthly. Famous Persons. Somebody who writes for the Argo naut bus collected a number of Insig nificant fncts about significant persons. Oliver Wendell Holmes us d to carry a horse chestnut In one pocket and n potato In another to wnrd off rlieu mntlsm. Edgnr Allan Poe slept with his cat and was Inordinately proud of his feet. Robert Browning shuffled his feet so constantly that he wore holes In the carpet. Sardou Imagined he had u perpetual cold. Count Tolstoi was very rich, but he wore the cheapest clothes that he could buy. Ernest Re nan wore his finger nnlls abnormally long. Detroit News. His Resolve. "Why do you always send flowers?" "I'm not going to have her share my candy with other guys." Why guess about it When you can know about it? Guppose a guide said "This way there's a safe and pleasant aad to your destination, with no risks or . troubles on the way," and "That way there's a road that a good many have stalled on and turned back from, but you may get through." Which would you take? Postum is a thoroughly agreeable and satisfying meal-time drink, and you're sure that it's perfectly safe for health. Coffee contains drug qualities which dis turb and harm the health of many. Postum or coffee? Which road? Why guess when you can know? Postum comes In two forms: Insunt Postum (in tins) made Inaumly in the cup by th addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) toad by boiling for 20 minutes. Sold by all grocers. Postum for Health "There's a Reason" OFFERED LONG YEARS Finally Relieved by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Itavcnswood.W.Va. "Forsovenionj? years I suffered from a female trouble ana lnnnmmation so that I was not ablo to do my housework. I consulted several doctors but none seemed to give mo relief. 1 read in a paper about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound so I decided to try it, and before Uic first bottle was gone I found oreat relief bo I continued using it until I had taken eight bottles. Now I am very well and can do mv own housework. I can gladly recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine to Buffering women." Mrs. BeutiIA LlEMNG, R. F. D., Ravens wood, W.Va. The ordinary day of most housewives is a ceaseless treadmill of washjng, cooking, cleaning, mending, sweeping, dusting and caring for little ones. How much harder the tasks when some de rangement of the system causes head aches, backaches, bearing-down pains and nervousness. Every such woman should profit by Mrs. Liering's experi ence. Remember this, for over forty Years Lvdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been restoring health. The Good Listener. A young woman has risen to fame on the American stage by a peculiar route. The story of how opportunity came knocking tit her door and found her In has Just come out In a news paper Interview. It Is simply this: She "listened her way" into stardom. In the background of many a man of genius you will find n good listener usually a woman to whom they could pour out their minds. Four such may bo nnmed: Balzac, the novelist; tho composers, Wagner and Tschalkowsky, and the nrtlst, Michelangelo. There Is no question hut that the good listening of four remarkable women fertilized the minds of the gifted men. The records nre In their letters. Good listening is r lay confessional. It Is one of the fine arts. Ambition as Motive Power. The right ambition can mold the na ture of Its mentnl push. Country boys have risen to financial pedestals and rail-splitters to national leadership. The right mentnl push put energy Into action when needed. Such men hnve left names to encourage our youth. Every youth hns a right to picture himself In high station. It takes only continued effort Intelligently directed to put him there. The vision of It Is the first mental push toward that end. When every effort expresses the mo tive of the Individual he will strive for the noblest conduct. That means put ting the right push Into the mind nnd developing according to the noblest purposes In life. Grit. New Branch of Engineering.
