The opera deals with the landing of the

natives called him, who was to rule over
them. Many opportunities are presented
for the playwright and the composer, and
as both these gentlemen have already ex-

Machine and Is Thrown Through
Window of Cable Car.
James Sheehan, young man living at
1861 Bartlett street, met with probably
fatal accident yesterday afternoon.
He was riding on a bicycle down Twenty
second street, from Guerrero, when the
steering-gear broke and he lost control of
the machine. At Valencia street he col
lided with car IL with such force as to send
him head-foremost through a window of
the car.
There were several passengers in the car,
and the smashing of glass and Sheehan's
unexpected entrance through the window
caused a momentary panic.
Sheehan was taken to drugstore on
Valencia street, near Twenty-second, and
from there to his home. DIR. Coffey was
summoned and found that his head was
terribly cut by the broken glass, and he
had sustained a possible fracture of the
skull. He was unconscious last night, and
the chance of his recovery is doubtful.

Potatoes In Michigan.

reports contain the following: "patato

with the copious June rains, would give
the crop a good start, and the tuber-

cooler. For northern Michigan the
chart shows that the drought comes in
July, when it ism OF so injurious to the

CFrom the Kalamazoo Telegraph.)


The following statement is one of great
interest to many citizen of Kalamazoo,
and man as well known as Mr.. Wallace
should carry moro than ordinary weight
with our readers. Here it is as taken
down by our representative:

Co. doing business as timers, etc, at 106
Eleanor Street, Kalamazoo, in which city |
alsoreside. For the past nine or ten months
l have been having attacks of kidney com
plant, the pain in my back over my hips
was very severe at times; my urinary sys-
tenn was also in bad state of derangc-
ment, sometimes the urine was scanty and
then again the amount would be excessive,
and difficulty of passage always existed.
/ heard of Doan's Kidney Pills at time
when felt that / was going TO be sick,
but their use warded off an attack, and
am now feeling very much better; the
urinary organism has regained a normal
condition, and the terrific pain in my back
is much reduced in severity, while it is now
fast going away altogether. / am con-
tinuing the use of Doan's Kidney Pills,
with positive feeling that they will effect
on me a permanent and speedy cure.

Growing Strawberries,

have tried summer planting twice.
but have had poor success with 1t, and
would not recommend 1t unless you are
prepared to irrigate, says a writer in
Rural World"
Never let the weedssget a start, but
cultivate before they can be seen peep
ing through the ground. l use the
Planet, Jr., cultivator, and think it's the
greatest labor saving cultivator ever
made. In very rocky ground, and when
the plants are small, l usually take OH
all but three shovels, when rows are
cEse together, as this will prevent
throwing dirt or stone on the plants.
Where ground is free Of rock, would
recommend the Planet, Jr., with ten or
twelve small, reversible, and the pull
verizer attachment. The hoe Is an in
strument that can not well be dis
pensed with, and should be used fire.
quently and thoroughly, but be care
full and not hoe too deep.
One of the most important items OF
strawberry growing is the distance the
plants are apart at fruiting time. / be-
lieve that six or eight inches by one
foot in the matted row system will give
as good If not better results than to
have them closer 1t is easier to tell
how the plants should stand than to
make them stand just that way. l
think that as a rule berry growers are
too afraid of spending money enough
on their plantations to obtain best re-
suits.
The present season counted 260 ber-
ries and blossoms on a single plant that
had plenty of room to show what 1t
would do II it was given good chance.
Even II this plant would only mature
$50 good, large sized berries, and that
they would only fill one wine quart
box, who is there before me to-day that
would begrudge that plant even a
square foot of ground? The best and
cheapest way that l know of to get
your plants six or eight inches by one
Is to set your plants three by five feet
and cultivate both ways, and keep all
blossoms and runners off the plants
until they are we'll established, good,
strong plants, and then let only four
runners form on each plant. Train the
first two runners lengthwise of the
row, so that you will have single row
OF plants one foot apart, then let each
plant make two more runners, and then
train at right angles of the row, and let
| each one of these runners make two
plants, and keep all the balance of the
runners pulled off.
This will'insure you some very large
fine plants that will bear berries in
piles, instead OF a few little stunted
berries, as we often see in matted
rows where the plants stand not over
an inch apart. The greatest mistake
that l have made has been in allowing
plants to mat too closely, but l intend
to thin heroically in the future, and I
expect that every cent that l spend on
my patch will be doubly repaid me in
fine large berries that will sell at the
very highest market price.

S0rpt10n, and the plants cOnSe-
quently feel the benefit at once.
1t does not follow, however, that
liquid manures can or should take
the place OF all coarse manures, any
more than that the highly-concentrated
commercial fertilizers should run out
the barnyard fertilizers. The soil
needs both. One great advantage that
coarse barnyard manures confer upon
the soil is to separate the soil particles
and make them more porous. The
thicker and more compact soil is the
more does 1t need coarse barnyard ma
nures
But the value of the liquid manure is
frequently overlooked by farmers, and
more of this is wasted than saved. II
manure heap is located outdoors
where the spring rains can fall upon 1t
the water teaching through the pile will
soon form a puddle at the bottom. IL
allowed to stand a short time 1T will
get dark. Now apply some of this
liquid manure direct to a dozen hills
Of corn or any vegetable, and fertiliZe
dozen more equally good hills with
the coarse manure from the pile. Make
two or three applications of each dur
ing the summer and watch the results.
The experiment has been tried many
times, and the results are invariably
in favor OF the liquid manure. The
plants grow faster and thriftier and
produce larger crops. At the Iowa
Experiment Station some time ago this
experiment was tried. and the acre OF
corn fertilized with the liquid manure
yielded S2.02 bushels of corn, and an
other acre fertilized with barnyard ma
nure OF ordinary richness produced only
50.o6 bushels.
This represents roughly what farm
er is losing when he exposes his ma
nure pile so that the liquid part is
wasted. Every rain that falls on IL
washes away considerable of its most
valuable ingredients. This waste is
ceaseless. 1t continues right up to
the time Of applying the manure to the
field. If allowed to stand out all win
ter 1t stands to reason that more than
half OF the essence of the manure has
been wasted. Fortunately Of late years
this practice of exposing the manure
to the weather at all seasons of the
year has gradually fallen into disuse,
and only a few farmers of the old school
hold to ii. In the coward and stables
the liquid part of the manure is allowed
to soak into the earth, where 1t can
never be reached. On a large dairy
farm this waste is enormous. If one
has wooden or cemented floors OF
course the waste is checked almost en-
tirely, but not one in 10 have such
floors.
The hard earth floors, packed down
by heavy pounding, and covered with
a foot of chaff, will collect most of this
liquid manure in the cow stable. But
the absorbent must be renewed often
enough to keep all of the liquid from
going to waste. II the yard has a
slight incline the liquid will run off,
and can be conducted into receivers
placed at one side. During rain
storms the surplus moisture is great,
and a dozen barrels Of liquid can be
collected in this way. This will be
liquid manure strongly diluted, but 1t
can be poured over the manure heap
later in dry weather so that most of ii
can be absorbed. One loses little from
the COW stable exposed to the weather
by adopting some such plan as this.
