many hand engines are ,to be had s
cheap—one-fourth their cost—simply be -

mansays a. team of horses must always
be ready for it, engineer and proper stat

half (loan boys trot with the -steamer on
Friday he must be reconciled to the sav-
ing of so much at least as a team. The
engineer is essential. A good ordinary
engine driver can handle the steamers.
Look how efficiently a stranger handled
our engine at the first fire in Owen Sound
ten. days ago, and saved an immense
amount of propeety with the engine.
Pay the engineer say $5 to $10 each fire
$100 per yeler at the outside will thus be
the full cost of maintenance. The hose
men, &c., are invariably volunteers. Dr.
Coleman winds up by saying "don't vote
for such an expensive system of fire pro-
tection." With the above facts he will
now admit, if he has .any business ca-
pacity, that the steamer is actually in
dollars and cents the cheapest system by
far he can vote far. Prove it by illus-
trationa-Dr. Coleman has property val-
ued as insured for say $8„000, he pays 1 t
per cent. or $120premium per year, with
steamer he will get it for It or $100 per
year; in five years he will save $100;
during thatitime the tax for the engine
on the abo've property eamild be likely
$10 to $20 at the outside, the balance
goes into his pocket, independent of the
security and satisfaction derived from
the steamer., also an indacement for cap-
italist' to settle here, preservation of the
town and its healthful growth all accru-
ing from such protection. Very respect-

—view of the octurrenee of sun-
stroke during the heatel term, we give
the following simple rule, which will be
fotind to act as a certain preventative:
Remove the lining out of your bat, and
substitute one of orange yellow and an-
other of crreen ; the material may be
either silkorpaper. The most powerful
rays of the sun can then be endured
without the fear of tunstroke. The in-
jury does not, as many suppose, proceed
from the ray of heat, but, as has been
proved, from the chemical ray. The
green color will arrest the former, and
the orange the latter. ,

next twelve mouths, as could be got
last March. It is now admitted that
hay and other kinds of fodder will be
most abundant this season, thus insuring
a much larger yield of milk and butter
than usual. The best time to pack but-
ter is in September or October, just
when eheese factories stop working for
the season: To do so now, before the
heat of the sunener has fairly set itt, re-
