[From the Montreal Witness.] 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. ACj RICI laTTTlii :. 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.
