Now is the time to take precautions against fires from
the locomotives. While the railroads try to keep their
right-of-way free from imflamable material, the farmer
should also co-operate in safe-guarding his grain fields by
plowing furrows or cutting a swath or two^ to keep any
right-of-way fire from entering the fields. The fires that
originate along the tracks are not always caused' by loco­
motive sparks, but no matter what the origin, those fires
cause loss to both railroad and farmer, and they should
work together in an effort to prevent loss.

The high cost of production this year makes the care­
ful grading of potatoes (and all vegetables) of more than
ordinary importance this season. This grading should be
done in the field by the producer—not at the buyer’s ware­
house. Shipping diseased potatoes with the sound, the
decayed and the immature with the marketable, and the
failure to classify to meet various demands result in
further decay, and deterioration and loss of quality. Poor
grading causes a glutting of the market, with certain loss
to the producer, the shipper, the dealer, and all concerned.
“ Do you know,” said an Aurora man the other day,
“ that the man who accumulates wealth is the man who
sees one hundred cents in a dollar—not a handful of
cigars, a theatre ticket, or something else that he can
swap the dollar for?”
There’s nothing quite so useless in this world as a freight
car when it’s empty and motionless, and there’s nothing
quite So useful as that same car, loaded and moving. The
more it’s loaded and the faster it moves the more valuable
it becomes for everybody concerned. Now read this again.
No one has yet proposed to call a special session of
the legislature to amend or repeal the dog license law.
It is possible the public doubts even the repealing ability
of that august body.
