MINNESO NEWS.
A Close Can.

Albert Hall, o years old, escaped
death almost miraculously. With Is
number of boys he was playing about
the east end ofEthe steel arch bridge
In Minneapolis. Finally the boys de-
cided to climb under the end of the
bridge and catch doves. Young Hall
started under and shpped. He caught
hold of live wire with his left hand,
and the current began to burn the
flesh. He was suspended from the
ground about forty feet. The river
was near by also, and it was feared
that IT he freed himself from the wire
he would foil into the river.
One Of his companions, realizing the
predicament he was in, caught hold OF
his body and pulled him from the
wire. Albert fell to the ground and
came within few feet of rolling into
the river. He was picked up badly
bruised and taken to the city hospital,
where his hand, which had been
frightfully burned, was dressed. 1t is
not believed he is dangerously in
jured. Later he was removed to his
home.

It's not only necessary that the soil

cient vitality to send up a strong, viRor-

impossible to secure good, even stand.
one essential necessary is q vigorous
growth. The corn plant must make q
quick. vigorous growth from the start,
and while a rich soil prepared in. a
good filth is q great help in this, the
quality OF the seed is the starting
point. '-5
Our seed is carefully selected in the
fall, carefully dried out and then stored
where it is certain to keep dry and at
the same time be safe from vermin. I
never shell until time for planting. II
the conditions are such as they should
be Tor planting corn, the soil sufficient
ly dry to work steadily into a good
filth and then is thoroughly prepared,
there is no doubt but that a good, even
stand can be secured.
l have found by experience that it is
OF no advantage to plant corn when
the ground is wet, rough or cloddy.
Better wait until favorable conditions
can be secured, and then if good seed
is used not only will a good stand be Sc
cured, but the plants will make a good
start to grow, and then with good cul-
tivation can be kept growing. The
cost when a good crop is secured is
very materially reduced over that of
a poor yield, so that it pays to take
reasonable care to secure the best
yield.-N. J. Shepherd, in Farmers

Handle Poison. Carefully.

1t is q dangerous thing to have the
general run of farmers buying white
arsenic for spraying and mixing and
boiling 1T themselves. One has only
to inspect the ordinary farmstead to
see how careless the ow ner is about
things which require careful handling
and weighing. The refuse is thrown
in the yard or into a stream. Uten-
,sils are left where they were used.
There are farmers who are otherwise,
and if they have much spraying to
do, the white arsenic can be recon-
mended confidently; but I believe
that most people should buy their
poisons ready prepared, even if the
cost is somewhat greater.-Prof. L.
II. Bailey, in Farm and Home.

The history of the breed, as far a

were quite common in that neighbor-

key which used to run all over the

New Excuse Of the Fox.

4 Once there was willy old fox that
was too fond of grapes, and one day,
the New Years of all the foxes, he
,swore of from eating this fruit lest
his embonpoiut increase beyond reason
and he be called fatty, term of de-
Fision. But his appetite for the lucious
punches grew too strong and he hied
him to q grape arbor. A heavy bunch
Of grapes was hanging high up on the
vine. He jumped and jumped, but
could not reach them. After he had
exhausted himself to no purpose, and
he was sure he couldn't reach the
grapes he said: mo, will not eat
them. I made q resolution not to do

he went OF to tell his friends about his

says Charlotte Perkins Stetson, and
the remark finds ample verifcation in
the attitude Of the women of Mime
sofa who are using their efforts to
carry this measure to successful is
sue, with Charlotte Perkins Stetson,
herself, arrayed on the side of those
who wish to conserve and protect. But
strange as it may seem, this national
park project is meeting with savage
opposition.
This opposition comes from those
who are looking on the lumber with
covetous eyes-it is historic sentiment
against nickel, John Ruskin against
Jay Gould, life against death. The
men who oppose this park merely
want to saw up the trees, sell them
for a price and pocket the money;
they think but of themselves, and
have no care for the generations that
shall follow. Their shibboleth is,
"What are you going to do about it ?"
''The earth is for the people," said
VIM. Morris. 1T is ours while we are
here, but let us leave it, as we would
leave rented house, neat and orderly
and beautiful as we found it. Are we
vandals that we should ruthlessly de-
stroy and disfigure Gods property ?'
I have visited that beautiful tract of
land in Minnesota; know it's beauty,
and can guess it's value as place Of
rest and healing for the tired, over
worked sons and daughters of earth.
l know of no man working to carry
this plan through who will gain dol
lar by it. The men who oppose it are
out for the money. I hope the good
women and the unselfish men will win
and that congress will see that the
earth and it's blessings and beauties
is for all the people and not for the
few; for those who live now and the
many who shall follow us. =

Minnesota is interested in the recent

invalid, for similar law has been

the law (Which provided for the pun

as an infringement of the liberties
granted citizens by federal and state

Orchard Grass for Meadows.

I have tried orchard grass as mead.
ow and found it an utter failure un-
der various circumstances and several
kinds of soil. This is also the expert.
ence of other farmers. 1t is not diff.
cult to get a fair "catch," but the
plant has habit of forming punches
with bare spots between. When cut
early it makes harsh hay, if cut when
ripe it is coarse and stiff like rye
straw, and resembles broom sedge.
Stock will refuse to eat the hay un-
less starved to it. It requires four or
five bushels of seed to the acre at
a high price. From it's early growth
I think it would make good perma.

stocked hard and .1ot allowed to get
