RuCk wheat in Orchards

There is no grain crop that can be
grown in orchards with better adyan-
tage than buckwheat. 1t is not ex-
haustivc, and its broad leaves Shade
the soil so that it does not make the
land dry as other grain crops do. Be
sides, one Of the effects Of buck wheat
growing is to keep the soil mellow, SO
that every rain will soak into the soil
instead of remaining on the surface
until winds and sun dry out the
moisture. 1t is the practice of some
orchardists to SOW buck wheat in or
chards two or three times each year,
blowing under the growth as soon as it
is in blossom or before. This fills the
soil with vegetable matter, making ii
very porous. 1t often turns the last
buckwheat growth to hume acid If a
wet winter follows.

REDEEMlNG HIM ; ELF.
Brave Engineer Who Atoncd for HIS
Error by a Fiery Death.

Men who are ignorant of fear are
rara. The bravcst are those VINO,
knowing the danger, do not finch when
duty calls The following act of hero
ism in the case of a railroad engineer
Is told in the Century Magazine.
August Sieg. the engineer in question,
employed by the Pennsylvania RAIL
road, met death by fire to save the pas
sengers behind him.
The train. composed of ten crowded
passenger coaches, had just left Jersey
City and was passing through the
Bergen Cut" when smoke suddenly
blew in through the open door OF the
smoking-car. and moment afterward
the engineer and fireman scrambled in
over the tender.
The smoke cleared for an instant,
and showed a roaring fire in the open
furnace and flames streaming back
from the cab. 4 sudden burst of flame
from the furnace had set the cab on
fire and forceu the engineer and the
fireman to beat n retreat
But in deserving the cab without first
doing something to check the speed of

was only question of time when the
whole train would be on fire. 10 leap
from it would mean death or manning.
for ii was rushing along at full speed.
People had crowded into the smoker.
Doubtless Slcg heard their mutteringS.
1t required only Il few minutes for him
to realize the situation. He sprang
through the smoking-car door, and Il
moment later had disappeared amid
the flames beyond.
Presently it was felt that the trains
speed was Stacking. and soon. with "A
lurch and a bump. it came to full
stop near the bridge over the Hacken-
sack.
The passengers rushed out. With
the sudden stoppage of the draft
caused by the rush of the train. the
flames from the cab rose straight into
the air. The head and shoulders Of a
water-tank on the tender. 1t was Sieg,
his face distigured, his hands burned,
his body blistered. He was taken to a
hospital, but his burns proved fatal.
In retreating before that first fierce
burst Of flame Sicg had been guilty of
grave error; but who will say that
he failed to retrieve it like hero!
