Rad 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, against an employe of the Dominion Government in one of the Western Provinces, and Western papers are reporting that his speeches are the most brilliant that have been heard in the house.

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. 0 5gar For Preserving -buy St. Lawrence Extra Gra- nulated by the bag.

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, When a man has failedat every' thing else he can 'still become a critid.
