Bisback, on the Bay- field ,goad, ;just south of. town,was destroyed• by fire, which also de= stroyed' all his season's -'crop of grain; . and `hay. Fortuinately, °'no stock was in the barn, except a span of horses which •he was at,tlte.:time getting ready , for ,the morning's work. But the fire spread so rapidly that nothing could be done -to save i•:. Early Tuesday morning this week, between three and four o'clock, the barn of-MVIr. J. T. Turner, the other Side of the raitevey on the .Huron road, west of town, was totally des- troyed; together with what it cnn- tained. When the..fire was discover- ed it had -made such headway that it was impossible to do anything. The Clinton fire truck was run out but the blaze was'•beyond any eontral by that time. Thee barn was not filled, as most of the season's crop was housed in another barn, but there was some feed, a number of farm implements and also a threshing machine belonging to Mr. J. .Camp- bell. No stock was housed in it, In both the above cases no cause can be assigned for the fire. No fire was near the 'buildings. In the lat- ter ease no one had been near the building for: some days. The loss will be heavy in each case, although partly covered by insurance. If these barn fires are the result of causes within themselves, such .at? self -heating, farmers would need to take extra precautions to guard a- gaittst them. Barn fires have caused a heavy loss to farmers in Ontario during the past few weeks and far- mers can ill afford such losses at the present time.
