as he said, 'just Smelling out the

eating, a few empty shells were filed
with mashed potatoes made very hot

effectual, for by the time they forgot
the taste Of these pepper eggs they
were so busy and happy all the day
long that they had no further desire
to eat their own eggs. A load or two
Of clover hay was brought from the
barn and stacked at one end of the

Vigor in the Flock.

One Of the CAUSES of deterioration in
a flock is the practice of breeding from
pullets every season. A season or two
may not show any injurious effects, but
the constant adherence to the keeping
of early pullets and the retirement Of
the, hens is sure to det=riorate the
flock in the course of time Yet large
majority Of those who keep poultry sell
off the old hens (or hers { My ,wo years

The child lived but short time, and

About two months ago a young man
named Patrick D. Cassidy, who resided
at No. 219 Mott street, this city, died
from the results of a folding bed acct
dent which happened last summer.
Cassidy was twenty-three years of
age, and a steady-going, hard working
fellow. One night On his return from
Coney Island he invited friend to
spend the night with him. Before re-
firing they INDUCED in a pillow fight,
during which the friend, Just for fun,
saw his chance to close Cassidy up in
the folding bed which had been low

Western Horses.

Good horses are cheaper in some
parts of the West now than dogs are
in the East, for there are few dogs not
owned by some one, while the horses
cannot be given away. All over the
West horses have been astoundingly
cheap for some time, and 50 or So has
been good price for good animal.
A hundred head of ranch horses
sturdy, unbroken broncos from Wyo-
ming-were sold in Denver for 500
and the freight recently. It is reported
that a big stock farm in Idaho turned
more than $50 ponies adrift to shift
for themselves during the winter, as
it was cheaper to do this than to pro-
vide for them. The firm could not get
even dollar apiece for them.

Soil for Potatoes.

Let us select If possible, a piece Of
sandy loan well supplied with humus,
and the better it is provided with this
element of fertility, the better for the
crop; If the soil is lacking in this we
cannot expect to obtain large crop I'M
less we supply this important ingre-
dient. How are we to do this? The
quickest way (but not the BEST is to
haul upon the field a heavy coat Of
well-rotted barnyard manure. A bet
ter way land here is where the clover
comes in) is to first see that there Is
a fine growth Of clover upon the field.
Cut this clover the last of June for
hay, and allow the second crop to re-
main upon the ground. Our friends,
the dairyman will tell you to cut this
crop also and feed it out, returning it
to the field in the shape Of manure,
but they care more for the cow than
for the potatoes. Leave it upon the
ground, and if you have cows that
must have clover hay, buy some of
some one that thinks it just as we'll to
cut the second crop, and in the spring
put all the manure you can spare on
top of the clover, and be sure not to
forget the contents Of your ash house
and hen house, as these are especially
valuable in furnishing the necessary
potash and phosphates Plow this IN
der, and you have field ready to plant
to potatoes.
About the only improvement I can
suggest to this is to put your fertilizer
upon the clover in September, plow it
under and sow thickly to rye and when
you are ready for potato ground next
spring you will have a thich mass Of
green thirty inches high to turn under,
and your clover will be rotted and we'll
mixed with the soil, and in this way
you obtain the necessary humus Or de-
composed vegetable matter required
for your plant growth. You will also
! have large quantity Of green m1teriu
beneath the soil VIII CHI will retain and
give moisture to the growing crop, a
point that is very ess cntial u section
where there is a lack Of moisture three

In the same house resides DR.. Johnson,
a physician.
Mrs. Mason purchased a folding bed
at the beginning Of the winter and
when real cold weather set in the back
parlor was used as the sleeping ap }rt-
ment for the entire family, including
Dr.. and Mrs. Mason and their four
young children of which Eddie, Alden
and Cornelia slept on couch near the
folding bed while Lille aged seven
years, shared the folding bed with her
parents.
The folding bed was rather hand
some affair which served both as a
bed and wardrobe. In the day time the
wardrobe portion of the bit of furni-
ture faced front, while at night it was
reversed, the bed being let down from
the rear.
All went we'll until the fatal night in
question. About ten minutes after the
Mason family had retired for the night
bed fell forward or rather backward,
imprisoning DR.. and Mrs. Mason and
Lille.
1t so happened that Mrs. Mason, who
was very near the edge Of the bed. was
pinned down by the sidebcard falling
on her head, shoulders and Dicl1, caus-
ing injuries from which she died.
AS soon as the dentist realized what
had happened he did his best to raise
the bed, but could not bulge it. Mean.
while, Mrs. Mason and Lille had
awakened the other three children
who tried in vain to release their par.
ents and sister,
After f11l1v fiftooD r,ip,1+oS no n no or
ed DR.. Johnson was summoned. He
raised the wardrobe portion Of the bed
and the dentist and Lille scrambled
out but Mrs. Mason was unable to
move. and never even rallied. Lille
was badly bruised.
This is only one of the recent fatal
accidents caused by improperly con
structing folding beds, and as the cor.
oner's jury in Mrs. Mason's cIse ad.
vised, purchasers of such pieces OF
furniture should be very careful not
to buy those constructed on a pattern
which would permit of an accident OF
any kind.
Fractured Her Skull.
Another fatal accident occurred in
Buffalo not long ago. A slight girl
aged ten years. was the victim Like
little Lille Mason, Aggie Colaton, the
Buffalo victim slept with her father
and mother. She had climbed into bed
ahead Of her parents and was cuddled
up almost on top Of one of the pillows.
The bed was one of the common kind
which is opened by lowering from the
front.
Little Aggic had hardly stopped
wriggling about to find a comfortable
position when the bed of its own &C.
cord, arose from the floor slowly at
first, and then with a crash it banged
against the headboard before Mr.. and
Mrs. Coleton, who were standing near
by, could realize what had happened.
1t took but a moment to pail down
the bed and release poor Aggie, who
had uttered but one piercing shrek
when the bed closed.
Quick as the parents were in lower
ing the defective bed, it was too late,
for Aggie's head had been caught be-
tween the weight-box and the head

Then he complained Of pains between
MS shoulders and went to bed. The
next day the pain had disappeared, but
a week later it returned and extended
the full length Of the spine.
Young Cassidy never really recover
ed, and until his death refused to sleep
IN q folding bed under any circum-
stances. II. '.-, .'a
Thomas T. Garrity of Mott and
houston streets, who was q great
friend Of the Cassidys in relating the
story said that the injuries caused by
the folding bed hast summer undoubtly
caused the young mans death, as I'M
til then he had always enjoyed the
very best Of health.
H Caught a Chorus Girl.
For instance only short time ago
Carrie Oliver shapely chorus girl,
| who had been a member of Agnes
Huntington's Opera Company, and ON
the road with Francis Wilson and the
| Passing Show" met with serious &C
cident because her folding bed folded
up of it's own accord ana caught one
OF her limbs before she could jump out.
Carrie had retired but not feeling
sleepy, was reading a novel when
she felt the bed begin to lift up at the
! foot.
"The sensation was awfully odd,"
she said, in describing the accident to
the writer day or so ago, land at
first, l couldn't make out what was
the matter. I remained quiet a. mo-
ment, and not noticing a repetition of
the lifting up sensation continued
reading. Then, like Hamlet's father
ghost, it came again. 1t lifted consid-
erably higher the second time, and I
stralghtway made up my mind that
the best thing to do was to get out
and get out quick.
II dropped my book and attempted
to make a spring." she continued, "but
the bed got ahead of me, and closed
like a mammoth jacknife. In giving
the spring had fortunately thrown
my right limb over the side of the
bed, and when the pesky affair came
together it caught me about five inches
below the knee and broke the bone.
1t didn't hurt me so awfully much at
the time, and being able to free myself
by pushing the bed back down again
I rolled out on the floor, but to my
great modification I found that I was
!
the pain commenced and kept up for
| fair long after the doctor had placed
the. bone in its proper position once
more"
But to get caught in folding bed is
no joking matter with most people
who experience the sensation and the
results no matter what the results may
be, and two young men brothers, Har-
ry and Richard Stone, residing at No.
"a West Ninth street will never forget
their initiation into folding bed con-
tortions which happened one morning
last week.
The Stone boys are both within a
year or so either side of twenty-five
years of age, and the bed in question
is one of those folding affairs which
closes up twice before it is in daytime
position. In the center Of the bed prop
er is a hinge which permits it to be
