In nine hundred and ninety-nine
cases out of a thousand, water,
applied in sufficient quantity,
eventually quench any fire. But
the thousandth case, when water
not only proves ineffectual, but us -
Wally kindles and nourishes the
fire, is a porfootly possible occur-
rence. The Boston Perak) prints
an account of aa1 extraordinary fire
at sea that shows how helpless is
man in fighting the flames when de-
serted by his ally, water.
When the freighter Hardy atean-
ed out of Le Troport, France, she
carried, besides the mineral water
in .her hold, a. number of small
wooden cases marked "metallic
sodium."
The Channel was rough. The
vessel rolled and pitched violently.
The captain saw that the ship was
.listing to port, and suspecting that
the cargo was shifting, sent a boat-
swain below to investigate. As the
boatswain entered the hold, he saw
that several cases of mineral water
had broken, and that the water was
swishing about in the hold. Then
suddenly he saw one of the wooden
cases marked ``sodium" burst into
flame. •
Immediately he gave the alarm,
and the crew rushed to their fire
stations. The captain directed the
men to play the hose into the hold.
As the first stream of water struck
the burning case,there were several
explosions, as package after pack-
age within the case caught fire. By
this time two other cases of sodium
had broken open, and their con-
tents, as they came in contact with
the water from the hose, burst into
flames.
The orew could not believe their
eyes. The more water they poured
on the fire, the more intense grew
the conflagration. Then suddenly
two cases flew into the air, crashed
against the overhead beams, and
spread out in sheets of fire, the
smaller pieces dropping back only
to bounce and dance' about, hot
balls of flame, in the half -swamped
hold.
Panie-stricken, the crew drnpped
the hose lines and fled above decks.
But the captain ordered the cargo
flung into the sea, and led his men
back into the hold, They succeed-
ed in throwing several of the cases
overboard. But as each case hit
the waves, it rebotuitled into the
air, a flaming ball. .
The superstitious crew was fast
becoming unmanageable, and the
captain saw that, in any case, he
must abandon the ship. He order-
ed the crew to the boats not one
moment too soon, for as the boats
rowed away from the blazing hulk,

Government in one of the Western
Provinces, and Western papers are
reporting that his speeches are the
most brilliant that have been heard

At home Mr, 1Yeolf is a farmer,

of Cardston, the Temple City 'of

belief, grave fears for the future

pressed.- Contrary to general be-
lief, Mr. Woolf is not a polygattmist,.

several loud explosions came from
the hold. Then there was one
mighty detonation; the freighter
broke in two, and plunged out of
sight.
The origin of the fire was, of
course, in the sodium. Sodium is a
peculiar metal, which oxydizee ra-
pidly when water touches it, and
flames as soon as the water becomes
warm, According to the chemist's
classification, it is the second mem-
ber of the alkali group that in -
eludes lithium, potassium, rubidium
and caesium. All of these elements
have the same characteristics as
sodium in greater or less degree.
The sodium should have been ship-
ped in hermetically sealed tan cans
enclosed in wooden cases. But the
rolling of the ship and the careless
stowing of the cargo broke open
soma of these cases, and the sodi-
um, which was not properly packed,
was liberated.

Not For Good Soils.
Green manuring 415 , a definite
farm practice may be recommended
only under pertain conditions. Ib
is profitable in upbuilding' poor
soils and in improving the physical
conditions of sandy, clayey and
adobe soils. In orehal"ds green
manures may, as a rule, be used
advantageously, as 'they de not
interfere with the fruit crops.
Green manuring, cannot be ea -
commended on good soils, .except.
at long intervals, when there (s
reason to believe there is need of
more humus or more nitrogen.
Where red clover or alfalfa can
be used in rotation the need of a
special green manure is seldom felt.
The reason lies in the fact wbout.
one-third of the weight of the
clover plant and nearly one-half of
that of alfalfa is in the root so that
these plants virtually produce a
green manure crop under the
ground in addition to the regular
orop of hay. Sweet clover is an-
other plant of this clear and of
wide adaptation as to soli and cli-
mate, but unfortunately the hay is
not readily eaten by cattle, so that
it is used in limited sections only.,
The Work Team.
The problem of feeding worst
`horses is One involving the econo-
mical production of energy and'
maintenance of health. ft is of
considerable importance to know
how much hay and how much grain.
a farm horse at hard labor should
receive in order that he may work
with the greatest efficiency and
economy. With high priced' grains,
it is very desirable to know the re-
lative value of different roughages
in order that economy may be
practiced in making up a ration for
work horses. In order to determine
some of these points a number of
experiments have been conducted
at the Illinois station, ten teams be-
ing used in the tests, with the fol-
lowing results ;
But little difference was observ-
ed in the value of clover and timo-
thy •hay when fed in conjunction
with corn, oats, oil meal and wheat
bran, the difference being slightly
in favor of clover.
The results show a slight saving
due to mixing ground grain with
chaffed clover hay, but not suf-
ficient to justify the expense.
Horses fed alfalfa and timothy
ate less grain and bay and gained
slightly mere in weight than those
fed clover and timothy while doing
the same amount of labor.
Twenty to 22 per cent. less grain
was required to maintain the
weight of horses fed alfalfa than
those fed timothy hay.
Horses fed corn and alfalfa ate
22 per cent. less grain than those
fed the mixed ration, and lost six
pounds more in weight per head in
eight weeks. The ration of corn
and alfalfa cost six cents less per
horse per day than the mixed ra-
tion.
Horses fed ground corn and eats
with wheat bran, oil meal, timothy
and alfalfa hay consumed nine per
cent. less feed and gained three
pounds more in weight per head in
six weeks than those fed whole corn
and oats with a similar tables.
Farm work horses at ?lard labor
should receive from oneand one-
fifth to 11-5 pounds of grain, and
from one to 1/ pounds of )say, per
100 pounds of live weight per day
in order that their weight may be
maintained.
1Kilk Utensils.
The best milking pail is the one
so constructed that it will reduce'
to a minimum the amount of dirt
falling into the milk during the pro-
cess of milking. The small top
pail may have some objections, but
its advantages are so evident that
it is rapidly being adopted by most
etf our prominent dairymen.
All milk utensils should }ate heaR-.
ily tinned and as free from seams
as it is possible to get them. All
crevices and seams should be flush-
ed full and smooth with solder. If
pails and cans of this hind cannot
be purchased, take them to a local
tinner and have him fill up all cre-
vices with solder. Wooden pans
readily absorb milk particles, mak-
ing it almost impossible .to keep;.
them sweet and clean. For this
reason they should have no place
in the dairy,
Thoroughly to clean milk utensils
they should first be rinsed with
cold water to remove all particles
of milk. Then they should be scrubt
bed with a brush in warm water
after which they should be steamtfi
or at laid rinsed in boiling water.
No wiping cloth should be used.
Sunlight is one of the best. disin-
fectants and when possible all uten-
sils should be given the benefit of
good sunlight and pure air,

thing else he can 'still become a
