Death on the Rail.

A terrible accident is reported to
have occurred on the Chicago, Bur.
lington & Quincy road one day last
week, about one mile and half west
of Ilillsdale, in Mills county. The
Glenwood Opinion, to whom we arc
indebted for the item, states that "as
the east bound freight, No. 16, was
passing the Skaggs farm, young
man named Allen Briggs attempted
to climb onto the. train with the evil
dent intention Of riding down to
Hillsdale. He stood by the track and
as the train came up he grasped at
the first car but missed it. He sue
ceeded in getting partial hold on
the second car, but was drawn under
the wheels and two trucks passed over
his leg, crushing it terribly, all the
way from the foot to the thigh. He
was warned by some persons stand
ing near not to attempt to get ON the
train, as it was going too fast, but he
either did not hear or paid no atten-
ton to the warning. He was picked
up and carried to a house near by
and surgical aid promptly summoned
but the young man never recovered
from the shock and died seven hours
after the accident. He was a single
may about eighteen years old and was
an cstimable and industrious farmer.
The accident was solely the result of
his own carelessncss, as the train men
knew nothing Of it until after it had
occurred.

About Seed Potatoes

Too many farmers seem to have the
idea that anything will do for plant
ing, and though the bug, or the
blight, or the drought affected great
part of the potato crop of the United
States last year, SO rs to suspend their
growth before maturity, still, as the
fair-sized potatoes which matured
their growth, so as to be suitable for
seed, are so dear and scarce, and
there are SO many potatoes too small
and poor to sell at all, farmers will be
tempted to use them for seed this
year more than ever before, when, in
fact, they are less suitable for seed
than the small potatoes of most any
other years growth; for though it
may possibly answer occasionally to
plant the small potatoes selected from
the large ones of good crop that
was well matured, still other potatoes
of the same size, which are small be-
cause their growth was stopped at
that size of their development from
any cause, are very inferior to them
either for eating or planting, and
they are as inferior for seed as the
shrunken kernels of any immature
grain would be. The good practical
farmer will attend closely to this in
selecting any other seed that he uses,
and though he prefers to harvest
some crops before they have fully
ripened, still he will leave, as much
as he wants to save his seed from to
fully mature before harvesting it,
and though the potato is SO strong a
grower that even the smallest and
poorest seed will make something of
q growth, it will be found necessary,
as with any other crop, to use good
seed, and give it good treatment for
obtaining good paying crop.
To have potatoes in the best con.
dition for seed, besides being well
matured they should be kept fresh
and kept from sprouting, If possible,
until planted, SO as to give the crop
the advantage of the first growth
from the potato. A volunteer growth
from the potatoes that had lain in the
ground over winter are always the
rankest and strongest growers, and
in years of the potato rot, such pota-
toes were the healthiest, but to use
for seed potatoes those that from any
cause had not fully ripencd, or that
have been kept too warm so that they
would have to be sprouted once or
twice before cutting for seed, or that
were cut SO long before using as to
get wilted and dried up before plant
ing, would be using seed that would
be in very bad condition, and should |
be avoided.

other hand, cremation is becoming
