When outside temperattnes are be-

to have sepaeate :furnaces for heating

are likely to get mixed together, re-
mit -lug in inaccurately proportioned

asked Mr. Bowen, who was digging

"Not if it slays cloudy," he said.
"But if it clears, eve shall hare a

"If the flowers, wale Ic'ept warm,

Fire Protection on the Farm
BY HILDA RICHMOND.
While the best fire protection on
the farm will always be prevention,
such as perfeet chimneys, care in
threshing time, secure stoves, stove-
pipes that fit tightly into the chim-
neys and are protected by metal col-
lars, safety in handling matches, the
use of only perfect oil stoves and
lumps, still there is much to be done
in case fire actuully occurs.
Careless autoesta in su.nenee are
apt to throw lighted/ cigars anct match-
es by the roadside, railroad fires will
start Etnd sweep over fields .and for -
eats, and accidents will happen in
epite of all precaution. So it is well
to know simple rules for protection
and try to keep cool if fire does break
t.
One of the common causes of coun-
try fires is when fat boats over on. the
kitchen stove, When this happens,
many excited women throw water on
the blaze and cause it to spread. Salt
or ashes quickly thrown on the Inc
will smother the hlaze, but most wo-
men do not like a pail of aches stand-
ing about the kitchen. However, when
fat is tried out, or when doughnuts
are made it is well to provide the
ashes or a jar of salt, so that in case
any accident happens the remedy can
be at hand. A pall of ashes stending
in a tidy kitchen for a few hours will
not ruin the repatetion of any good
housekeeper.

Teach children the danger of fire.
Instead of trying to extinguish the
blaze, ueless they ere alone, the chit -
clime :aimed be tatmat to tithe an out-
cry at °nee. No fear of poniehment
shoe:el -detail them from reportieg the
trouble. On our farm, two' boys

vet° smoke, mid a smaller lad Nene

sheds by boy e smoking in the barn.
The boys were faightenea when they
saw what they had Acme and tried to
put met the blaze, but it -got -such
headwae that everything eves swept
away.
Piro, caused by poachers in the
woods, or by smirks from raihoad
engines, are best fought with the
plow. Burning ,a space in front of
the fire is also geed. At my old home
a feev rods from the wailread track-,
where the prevailing winds always
blew toward the houee and barn, we
never hate had a bad fire. There .have
been thnes when things looked bad,
but by telephoning for the • sod:ion
men and plowing a 'strip around the
dry inead,ows and keeping. the lawns
free from material that would quickly
take fire, we still have the homeetead
free Seam Inc. Of course, in dry wee -
they we always were on the lookout
to put out incipient blazes in -the
grave., an,d this no .doubt mem] the
day many times. '
So arch and every country family
should see to it that the members
know how to fight fire Em well as haw
to prevent it. Materials are RO high
and labor is se expensive that all
buildings should be saved from the
destructive blaze. With no fire pro-
tection such to the city must keep
up, country people must depend upon
themselves, so it is \verse then eolty
to go to pieces in an entergemy and
