It is e'lually true that many tires, pioballyone half of them, could be •voided by a little curs and thought. Surely, as a people we should be ready and willing; to take up iJiis Kuipire call and preserve what we produce. By way of example reference is nnde to barn tires. I-<st year in Ontario alone over *><)0 barns were destroyed, involvinK a liiRs of more th:in one niilliM» dtjlliirs, of which »ix hundre.l 'liouhand dollars was on produce, implemcnls, md live Stock. If by A b'llf care we can eave one half of this loss we kIiouKI bo doin^ the ciiuivaleiit of ihit much extra produc- tion, and who is there Winona us who is W'lt prepiieJ to d i liis "bit' on this line '. Three very simple suggestions are thrown out which if adopted will •,'() a I'jno way to accompbhh the result : â€" 1st. Install li<;htning rods on harn.s and save tires from lightning. The D.-parlment of Ai{rioul(ure, I'arliameiu Buildiii(!s, TcTroii'o, will furnish any one with a pamphlet showing bow the rods t-hould be made and erected. It is an rtbsolute fact that barns properly roddcd and ((rounded are not liable to be struck by li'ditninsJ. liiid. The crops should not be put in until it 18 certain they have been properly Cited. Evidence is d.iily â- jccuniulating that the heavy clover crop.s of last year did nut receive full ami proper caic and resulted in the liiuii; ot barns from spontanejus combustion. Many doubt thi.s theory but rccogni'ioii of the cause if growing very rapiilly. â- ' I'rd.

Kire is alw lys the enemy ot the humiii race, but m wartime it is a traitor in camp, a foo in the treiiehcs. Not only is the waste of fond b} tire an nnmitiuaied calamity, but any tire waste is just that much of a burden at a time when the last »,lraw may break the eamel's back. While .Jos. Nusbitt, oldest son of Mr. John Nesbitt, Centre Rotid. Caledon,wi« engaged pultinjj a new crib in a well on the Ciark farm across the Cenntre Uoad from the home place, last Thuisdiy, the top of the wall caved in, buiying him to the w;;i.sl. The young man, who was about twelve feet below the surface, was in a very [irccarious position, being lirmly iiniirisoned by the heavy mass of earth which gripped his limbs like a vise. Fortunately the plank on which he was standing was strong enough to bear the extra weiglit. Hid it giveu wjy he would have been hurled to the bottom of the well and probaiily either crushed to death or drowned. It took the neighbors who gathered four hours to release him from his perilous position. They accompliiheu it by letting Uobert Chambers down witli a rope to dig the earth a>\'ay. Nesbitt cut and tore his hands badly in vain endeavors to dig away enough oatth to pull himself out. lie was bicly bruised andshaken up, but there were no bones bioken mid he is making a speedy recovery under the caie of Dr. Thomas.
