Disastrous Freight Wreck on
Rock Island at HOyt.

sections of freight No. 80 on the Rock

orders to meet the train at

effort was made to flag their train.
The first section stood on the main
track, but owing to the wind and snow
storm it was impossible for the rain
crew of the second section to distin-
guish the danger until it was too late.
Engineer Armstrong in jumping from
his engine had a leg broken.
The engine of the second section, No.
so, splintered the caboose of the first
section and lodged on top of it. The
caboose soon took fire and was burned.
Nothing was seen or heard of Nc
Leod after the time of the collision. A

few charred bones was all that was
found to tell the story.

Cow Peas.

Much has been said and written on
this important plant and much yet re-
mains to be written. 1t draws the nj
trogen needed from the air. Conse-
Quently potash and phosphoric acid only
need be applied directly.
A COW pea crow of $4,000 pounds of
green vines per acre will contain about
100 pounds of nitrogen, 81 pounds of
potash and 20 pounds of phosphoric
acid. Consequently three times as
much potash as phosphoric acid will be
required. A fertilizer composed of the
following ingredients may be used for
peas: Available phosphoric acid per
cent, potash 8 per cent Apply $50
pounds per acre and mix we'll with the
soil. preferably few weeks before
seeding.
Instead of the above the following
Acid phosphate, $50 pounds; KANT, 300
pounds. In lieu of the kainit 20 pounds
of murfate of potash may be used.
The above will give large and salts
factory returns, but the quantities
stated can be proftably increased from
so to 100 per cent.
If the fertilizer be applied in the drill,
covering belt about foot broad, and
be we'll mixed with the soil, saving of
about half the fertilizer necessary for
broadcasting can be effected The
trenches should be fortified to a great
depth. Potash and phosphoric acid are
drawn from the soil only. Consequently
it will be well necessary to properly
supply these materials from time to
time.
More than this, by growing and turn
ing crops of the legume family Glover,
COW peas, etc.) all the nitrogen that may
be needed for the present and the next
crop will be virtually grown drawn
from the atmosphere). There will be
a considerable surplus left over the re-
quirements Of soil crops, which will
serve for the permanent enrichment of
the soil. The humus produced by the
decaying vegetable matter will exert a
further beneficial influence on the soil.
l will state here that nitrate of soda
Chill saltpetre-is very convenient
material for supplying nitrogen direct,
but the cheapest nitrogen is produced
from growing legume crops and turning
them down. Therefore, if you would
enrich your soils economically grow all

tually done as aforesaid

CIRCUS EvADIRG LICENSE.
The Walter Main Show Cuts Ont Bareback
Riding and Pays Only $50.

There are two big circus combinations
in the State and at least one of them is
successfully and artfully evading the
heavy license imposed by the last Leg
iSlature.
The John Robinson circus. which has
been in this State for some three weeks
is paying the regular circus tax of 5000.
to the State, and which in most in
stances is 5000 for the county, making a
total of $500 exclusive of city license for
each days performance.
The Walter J.. Main circus is evading
this tax by cutting out the bareback and
other riding feats. The Main circus ex-
hibited in IIouisburg yesterday. Early
in the day Sheriff Kearney called VI
Treasurer Lacy and informed him that
the Main circus had been paying only a
$50 license in other counties, and that the
claim was made thatit was not liable to
the $500 license tax since the horseback
riding had been eliminated.
Treasurer Lacy had previously been
informed by General Manager Dale of
the John Robinson circus, that the
Main circus was only paying a $50 IL
cense and he wanted to know if he could
not escape the $500 license.
Treasurer Lacy informed Sheriff
Kearney to collect the $500 license if the
Main show gave the character of show
on which such license is imposed.
Sheriff Kearney only imposed TIE $50
license There were between 5000 and
1000 at the afternoon performance.
