One of the principal causes of barn fires `is lightning. Spontaneous com- bustion is another prolific cause of barn fires. There is, so declares the Fire Mar- shgll, a simple remedy .or preventa- tive for each of these, Investigations have protyed that barns pro err suprh'od with li r t t - wing rods roe immune. from lightning Iires, and • Proper cueing of the Crops before housing and a thorough ventilation of the banns will prevent spontaueou'e combustion, Hay, boat clover and timothy, an:h grain of all kinds should be well -•cured before ,being put into barns and some, simple but thorough system of Ventilation shourd bo adopted. Every precaution should let tske to prevent ]waste through firo. There has been some agitation late- ly to suspend, for the time being, :the Lord's' Day Act so that farmers :nay, in view of the great need of extra production, have full . advau- tage of all the time there .is to get in all the crop possible, This is a question which would sitiig to have been settled long ago but it continues to come up from time to time, We are not sure where the idea originated just now. Whether it was born of. a genuine wish to promote agriculture or whether it is but an- , other attempt, as we fear the good• people of the Lord's Day Alliance strongly suspect, to get in the `.'thin edge of the wedge" and throw the Sabbath open. However, that is not the question before the house. The question is, do the farmers wish to work seven days a week ? Speaking for a goodly number of lairtners we think wo can safely say they do not. The average farm- er: during theseed-time and harvest works from seven o'clock until six in 'the fleld, with anywhere from *three to five hours tacked on in "doting," six days per week, When Saturday night comes snob an one is usually glad to think that he doesn't have' to "go" quite so hard the fol- eowing day. In England at the beginning of the • war,. when it was found • that muni - •inns were so short and couldn't be ' turned out fast enough to supply the army at the front, the munition fac- tories were kept running seven days 'per week. But as soon as the out- ea- put. began to come` .11p it was decid- ed best to close on Sunday, giving the 'Workers 'one' day's rest in seven. It has been demonstrated over and over again that more and better work can be done, year in and year • out, b31 working six days and rest- ing the sevetnte, according to , the old commandment. , The powers that be will be well advised if they will pay no attention to any agitation to ;allow farmers to work seven days a 'week at least un- til a petition goes in signed by, the, farmers themselves. : They can work hard :enough six days in the week anti all the- help they would be likely to get_ from 'a city man who -motors out in liis white ducks on a • Sunday afternoon would hardly pay for the trouble of having him about. 1t.seems hard to get away very far just now from the great question =of production and the equally impor- tant one of food -conservation. •,The Daughters of the Empire, an ,,,The body of women whet since the beginning of the, war havle been doiag most important patriotic work, are now asking their members to ob- .serve two meatless and two potato - less days per week, Wednesday and 'Friday to be . the meatless days, and no veal or young lamb to be eat- en at all. That, Canadians could eat less meat •than. they- do and be all the better foe it .few people will deny >•tid pate: - 'Wien days are not by any, means unknown since the price of the humble tuber has taken to soaring, The idea of thus cutting down the consumption of food is of course so that it may be conserved for fnture use and the sllliply not unduly dim - :hashed. • In England meatless days were or- •tlered by the food controller but the order was afterwards rescinded be louse' it was found that the People -were eating too mech.-bread. When the potato crop is planted- it will be serving no good purpose at all to abstain from eating potatoes. 'They cannot be kept over and every • peck of potatoes consumed will save So touch of bread or other food stuff' witiob might he kept over. W at, the Daughters of the Empire rere every other householder in Can- adatshould try to bear in spin it that lto food should be wasted hut' . everything should be tttrhad to are count, ; To kill Off young lambs and calves is sand to be the most woeful waste and sitottldl be prohibited by law. ' There seems no good reason Why lambs should not be allowed to live until they are full groveh but dairy- men airynten say that if they are not glow- ed llowcd to: veal their calves many of there will be killed anyway anal in that We are a total lose, A calf that„ is, fed for tlsrce or, tour weeks and sold for veal will dress from righty to a hundred pounds of meat. This, it is clefinied, fs atsthly better than nothing, So milers it were pessiblc to tette each 'stook •and rear. it .tomaturity, and deirytneh declare they eatiltot do this with ell their calves, it 1ooles as if the Male- Ill,Of it Riegel 11 l to sett veal would be more wasteful than eating it. ,Gveryol:0 must" endeavor to look, an around a question 4f this kind and, r great as' WO renal)c ed before, the b cab Matter is to see that no food is wasted.
