As an. illustration of the dry, burntup condition of many pastures it might be stated that many farmers live in constant fear of fires. I saw a match dropped in a paddock last week by a cigarette smoker, who having lit his weed turned round to address a friend (says “Rusticus” in the "Otago Daily Times”). He had scarcely uttered halt a dozen words before the heat behind h*m caused him to turn. The dried-up grass had ignited in a few seconds, and before tho fire was stamped out a large patch of ground was burnt bare.
