NATURE'SHINTS TO FARMERS.
Beneficial Hints Given by Nature IL the
Farmer Would Only Heed and
Use Them.


Nature gives the farmers hints Oh
farming that would be of benefit to
him if he would but use them. In the
way OF irrigation, we see the best plan,
where water is scarce. Almost daily,
in the draws or valleys, here in the
west, after having washed out ditch,
it is gradually filed with sand and
gravel by both wind and water. max
ing one of the best undertow irriga-
ton plants and one of the cheapest.
The moisture coming from beneath
does not leave sediment to cake on top
of the ground to kill the plant or
shrub. In the way of cultivation, the
wind gives him quite lesson by
mulching the vegetation with dust. 1t
may overdo it when it gets on tear;
but even then it shows the way to hold
the moisture in the ground as by Dig
ging in the piles of dust he will lind
moisture close to the surface. Even
the much-dreaded grasshopper gives
lesson in cutting back the limbs of
trees, making them lower and bushier-
topped. shading the ground better and
less liable to be injured by high winds.
The writer thinks that man with
common sense and some Judgment, by
experimenting on these lines, might
adapt himself to existing circum-
stances and country easier than he
could change the country to his notion
OF how things ought to run. 1t might
not make millionaire of him quite as
mt I, a. -sxr
the country, and would thank old
mother nature in the end for her hints;
and if he could improve on them he
would be well paid in dollars and
cents. The man who comes out here
to farm as they do back east is gone.
or at least good part of his
money is. He experimental on too
large a scale-a hint to the wise is
sufficient. Try little of theory, and
see how it works in practice, before
rislSing too much. Try little YOUR
self before condemning, as you may
succeed where others fail.
1t is often by old ideas newly ex-
pressed that we get out of the old ruts
and take the new road of progress BY
hitching the old horse, mind, to the
cart, action, the driver thought, can
haul load of results that will astonish
the natives. 1t has been said of old
that there is nothing new under the
sum-" Steam and electricity have been
from the beginning of creation, and
now. after centuries, it is controlled by
a lever OF button in the hands of man.
To the farmer living close to the door
OF natures work shop, why not peep in
and see If there is not something she
has prepared for your especial use?-

into the curve. The inner wheels leaped

was the shrill screech of steel grinding

Suddenly the runaways righted them

the curve, and still on the rails, came

somewhere deep down in his chest.
For moment neither Rankin nor his
fireman stirred. The danger. once
averted, was the more terrible for being
unexpectedly renewed. They had lost
their chance of jumping, for the train
was now backing at runaway speed.
There seemed no possible way of es.

well make a run for it,"
The speed of the telegraph cars had
been somewhat checked at the curve,
Rankin's plan now was to drive back
under full steam to the upgrade mile
away on the opposite slope. Here the
runaways must slacken their speed. 1t
would be a desperate race, and Rankin
felt that the chances were against him.
What if his own train should jump the
track. or what if he could not keep away
from his grim pursuer?
Rankin leaned from his window and
looked back along the line of reeling red
cars, which seemed to run in trough
of dust. And then he stretched farther
out, with the perspiration starting
fresh to his face. Behind there, just
around the edge of brown butte, was
the fieecy white smoke of passenger
engine. The division superintendent
train was coming. He had not dreamed
that train could be so near. At his
present speed he would drive into it in
less than minute.
Rankin swung back to his place. His
train had attained nearly the speed OF
the runaway cars. He deliberately
pushed the throttle forward and shut
off the steam. The indicator finger
leaped to figure that would have made
a master mechanics blood run cold;
but he must save the passengers.
Larson looked up questioningly. Had
Rankin lost his senses?
The telegraph cars were now scarcely
100 feet away. Their grease boxes had
taken fire, and were blazing up like SC
many smoky torches. They rocked and
Jared and roared, as if eager for the
onset; and yet Rankin slowed his train.
The front of an engine has no bumper
for receiving heavy impact. Rankin
knew that if the cars struck the pilot
with any force the load of poles would
probably be driven forward and brush
off the whole top of the locomotive
cab, crew and all-and an explosion
might follow the collision.

the alleged New York swindler failed
TO appear In court yesterday to answer
10 the charge of swindling Charles
Sweetzer Of Chelmsford out Of $2,50O.
and his bond of $1,000 was defaulted TO
the commonwealth. His nonappearance
was no surprise, as It was known that
after he had been taken to Boston from
Brockron, where he was last arrested.
he had been liberated again from the
sheriff's custody and had left for parts
unknown. Reed up to the time of his
departure had deposited as bail for his
appearance at Cambridge, Clinton,
Brockton, Framingham and this city a
total amount Of S1S,5OO.

A man named Mclean appeared in
Brockton Wednesday and offered TO fur

oail at $4,000, and Mclean furnished the
,ash, asking that Reed be given into his
custody. He said he wanted TO take
Reed TO Gardiner and surrender him.
