The Canada Conflagration.
On the evening of the 10th, I was en
gaged about a mile and a half from
home, with Mr. Bryan Daley and his
three sons, in a swamp about a halt mile
south-west of Mr. Daley’s house. Me
had cleared a road across the swamp
from N. \V. to S. E., and were busy car
rying water and extinguishing whatev
er lire was carried to our road by the
wind which was very high. We like
wise kept two axes going, clearing the
road of tLe branches of falling tress, as
they were falling too fast to allow us
time to cut their trunks, the fire having
undermined their roots. A little after
dark a fierce gust of wind carried the
fire across our road in a number of pla
ces, and set the swamp in a blaze. —
Some of us got out by running across
the track of fire while others of us tried
a race with the fire across the swamp, in
which we were successful. We had not
time to congratulate each other on our
escape, but to set to work with all speed
to clear the sheds of sleighs, wagons, bug
gies, and harness of all descriptions,
drawing them into a potato field with a
horse belonging to Mr. J. Foran, which
happened to be standing in the stable;
but the unfortunate animal, when let go,
started for home at full speed, and after
m tne n dies tiear vta-ftno
I„ lea. time then it taka
to the barn, 200 yards distant, and
in one instant it was in a blaze. —
We now fled to the bouse with what wa
ter we had in our pails. The water that
had been drawn half a mile was in bar
rels, which were too close to the barn
to allow us to get at them, owing to the
heat. T was left to guard the house
from the numerous sparks, which rained
about like hail; and I succeeded for
more than half an hour in extinguish
ing the flames as fast as they kindled,
while Mr. Daley’s three sons dragged
the clothing and part of the furniture
into the rdjoining field. At length my
water gave out, and the roof of the
house taking fire, I fled for home, little
thinking of what was before me. 1 had
to run across the direction the wind was
blowing down a narrow strip of ground,
between two fallows not one hundred
yards apart. Back of the fallows, to
my right, was a dense swamp. My eyes
being blind with dust and smoke, I did
not see that Mr. George Simmons’
buildings were nearly all burned, until
I got near them, and was stopped by a
strong log fence, which was all in a
blaze. It was now that the black reality
of the danger of my wife and four small
children broke on my mind. Right to
the windward of Mr. Simmons’ house
the road is crossed by heavy mead >w,
which is skirted on both sides by brush
and fallen trees. This was all in a blaze,
and just behind that sto< and my house in
the midst of pine stumps, each <me of
which I knew to be by this time a flam
ing torch. 1 stood bewildered for a
moment. To proceed was certain death,
and going back was leaving my little
ones and wife to the howling tempests
of fire by which they were surrounded.
I looked around and now discerned my
own personal danger. The fence that I
had crossed but few minutes before was
all on fire, and both fallows were taking
fire. Thus I was shut in by blazing
fences to be roasted between two fallows.
The instinct of self preservation drove
all other thoughts from my mind. I
ran into a patch of potatoes where there
were no stumps, and going as near to the
fallow to the leeward as the flames would
permit, I commenced digging a hole
among the potatoe hills; but I had not
got it very big, when the flying fire,
smoke and sand became unbearable,
and placing my arms across my face so
that I might breathe through my shirt
sleeves, I stuck my head as far as I
could into the hole, my body and feet
being stretched out to the leeward.—
The storm of burning cinders and sand
and smoke that dashed over me no hu
man tongue can described, nor any one
imagine except they came through it
themselves. I had often to hold my
breath for some time, when a gust would
come, although I had my mouth and
nose covered with my shirt sleeves, that
I might not suffocate. The heat from
both passing cinders and the two fires
was awful, and the hole I dug, kept fill
ing up with sand, and when the wind
would slacken some, I scratched out the
loose sand and down with my head again,
having my eyes shut all the time. Now.
a more dreadful suffering awaited me.—
I had four small children, the oldest.
Margaret Jane, aged seven; Flora, aged
five ; Abe Lincoln, aged two years and
seven months; and Mary Ann, aged ten
months—all left to the care of one not
very strong woman in a clearing studed
over with pine stumps. My heart would
sink when my imagination pictured
Nancy (my wife) and the four little ones
bearing before the tempest, avhieh howl
ed with an unearthly roar, as if gloat
ing over the prey it was certain of se
curing. I could almost imagine I heard
their cries of ‘‘ Dado, ” as the fiery flames
laid hold on their clothes. I could pic
ture out no feasible means of escape, I
lay for more than an hour, when the
storm abated, and the wind changed, a
cooler breeze came from the North west.
I then rolled over on my s;d \ when 1
found my legs-had cramped, and after
some time I sat with my beck to the
wind, although I had hard work to open
my eyes. As soon as the fire w uld al
low I ran through the beaver mead vv,
blew the ashes off of a part of tire creek
took a hearty drink and found it very
sweet, although those who have since
used the water of that creek, find a
strong taste of lye in it. I sopn came
to where my house ouce was. and called
with some faint hope of hearing an an
swer ; but an awful silence returned no
echo to my voice. I w r ent in different
directions, and although I found sever
al people, no one could give me any cer
tain information about those for whom I
was looking In the morning I was
wandering disconsolately toward where
my house used to be. when I was start
led by hearing a well-known voice call
“Davy,” and looked toward where the
sound proceeded, I saw Nancy coming
quite near. Fhe had seen me some dis
tance off, but was not quite certain who
it was until she approached nearer. * I
stuttered wheu I tried to ask if the chil
dren we/e safe, and when' assured that
they were, I leave it to those who have
lest children to guess at my joy. We
Have to lament the uutimely death of
two of our oldest neighbors; one burnt
to death nearly a mile from home, the
other burnt in her own field, where she
had fled for refuge.

About Potatoes.
Not a little discussion has been in
dulged in by writers in various agricul
tural journals respecting the proper time
to dig. and the proper way to care for
potatoes after they are dug. Our opin
ion with regard to digging is. that, when
the vines are dead, if this occurs before
the frost kills them, the sooner the pota
toes are dug the better. They are then
supposed to be ripe, and after a potato
is ripe, if allowed to remain in wet earth
its quality is harmed. If the vines are
killed by frost before the tuber is ripe,
we should let them remain in the ground
as long as the frost will allow with en
tire safety. Potatoes ripen if they do
not grow, after the vines arc thus de
stroyed.
As to subsequent care, the mode
adopted by the best growers is to put
them immediately in a cool, dry cellar,
wide, with slat-bottom and sides, so that
tne air can circulate freely through the
mass.
In this way, unless they are poisoned
before putting in the cellar, potatoes can
be kept from August to April.
Speaking of Early Rose, a correspon
dent has recently dug several hundred
bushels which yield enormously, which
he proposes to keep until next May be
fore marketing.
Later varieties on the same farm will
not be worth digging.
How Good Farmers Save their
Money.
They take good papers and read them.
They keep accounts of farm operations.
They do not leave their implements
scattered over their farm, exposed to the
rain and heat.
They repair their tools and buildings
at the proper time, and do not suffer
subsequently threefold expenditure of
time and money. They use their money
judiciously, and they do not attend auc
tion sales to purchase all kinds of trum
pery because it is cheap.
They see their fences are well repaired
and their cattle are not grazing in the
meadows, or the grain fields, or orchards,
'J hey and > not refuse to make correct
experiments in a small way, of many
new things.
They plant their fruit trees well, and
care for them, and of course get good
crops.
'1 hey practice economy by giving their
stock good shelter during the winter,
also good food, taking all th it’s unsound,
half rotten, or partly mouldy, off.
They do not keep a tribe of cats or
snarling dogs around the premises, who
eat more in a mouth than they all are
worth in their whole lives.
Lastly, they read the advertisements
—and know what is going on, and fre
quently save money by it.
Successful farming is made by atten
tion to little tilings.
The farmer who does his best, earns
his money with best appreciation, and
uses it with best results. Such men are
the salt of the earth.
Weaning Colts.
We often, when traveling through the
country in the fall, see colts with a rough,
staring coat; eyes nearly closed, and a
watery matter exuding therefrom, with
a body shaped like a squash seed, which,
but a few weeks before, while running
with the mare, were possessed of a sleek,
shining coat, eyes bright, and a body as
round as a barrel. Now the question
arises, what is the cause of this ? I an
swer, in nine cases out of ten, it is im
proper weaning. Nearly every colt in a
farming community is allowed to run
with its mother until about four or five
months old, when, to suit the conve
nience of the owner, it is turned into
some distant field out of sight, and if
possible, out of hearing of its mother,
there to run and whinney, and worry,
until it brings upon itself a fever which
weakens the constitution, closes the
pores of its skin, and in brief, the whole
organs of digestion become more or less
diseased. All of this can be avoided by
a little care in weaning.
My way of weaning is this : When
my colt is four and a half months old, I
put a strong leather halter upon him and
place him in a stall, and put his mother
in an adjoining stall with a partition be
tween, so arranged that they can see each
other, and if possible, get their heads to
gether. The first day I let the colt nurse
twice; the next day once. I feed the
mare upon dry hay and dry feed, and
about half milk her two or three times a
day uutil dry. The colt I feed upon
new mown grass or fine clover hay. and
give him a pint of oats twice per day,
and in about two weeks I have my colt
weaned, and my mare dry. with my colt
1 *oking as well as ever. Wheu he is one
y • r old. ho has as much growth and de
v *ii,puiont of muscle, as oue two years
old weaned in the first described manner.
M hen the mare becomes dry. colt and
i are may be turned out together again
in pasture. —Rural New Yorker.
Frosted limbs and frost bites will
come in season. When first taken rub
the parts with ice. then cold water, then
water not so cold, very gradually increas
ing the temperature until it is comfort
ably warm. If this course has been
neglected and violent symptoms have
sepervoned, rub the surface with a mix
ture of turpentine and alcohol or ope
deldoek, after which apply a fermenting
poultice of rye flour and yeast. If the
parts break out, wash clean and dress as
for blisters, after which apply cloths
wet with a mild solution of sulphate of
zinc.
