Supervise the putting out of the fire under the boiler yourself. Keep a good- sized chemical fire extinguisher and plenty of water handy. If a straw-blower is attach- ed, a sprinkler system will keep down the dust, prevent dust explosions and fires com- ing out of the blower mouth. Smokers and Matches~You have sense enough not to smoke around the barn, but What about the hired man or the boy with the cigarette? Do not allow anyone helping around the barn to carry matches.
