One of the shafts of a buggy occupied
by two young ladies broke as they were
crossing the Douglas avenue bridge
yesterday afternoon. and the clicking
and pounding OF the shaft frightened
the horse and he ran away. The buggy
being pulled by one shaft rolled from
one side Of the bridge 10 the other, and
if anyone had been in front of the thor
oubhly frightened animal there would
have been a bad smashup. Just west
of the bridge one Of the wheels struck
the street car track, upsetting the rig
and throwing the two young women out
The horse broke away from the buggy
at this time and was captured farther
up the street. The young ladies were
badly bruised but not otherwise in
jured. They refused TO give their names.
but said they lived about twenty miles
southwest of the city.

rotation of crops, the use of farm
manures, and the growing of clover,
conserves the humus of the soil.
7. When bare summer following is
practiced, heavier loss of nitrogen
occurs than when wheat is grown
continuously. Summer following fav-
ors the decay of the humus and the
loss of nitrogen. While larger crops
of wheat are produced after year
of fallow, this increase is followed by
a heavy loss of the total nitrogen
of the soil. Summer following rap
idly exhausts the soil of it's nitrogen.
s. When the nitrogen and humus
of the soil were conserved by the ro-
tation of crops and the production
of clover, an increase of 20 bushels
per acre of corn, and Sc bushels of
wheat we're secured.
9. Wheat is not an exhaustive crop
when it is grown in a rotation, but
when it is grown continuously the
fertility of the soil is impaired. 1t
is not the crop itself that reduces the
fertility, but it is the lack of sys-
tematic methods of farming which
cause the decline of fertility. Old
wheat soils readily recuperate when
some humus forming materials are
returned to the soil. By the rota-
tion of crops, the use of farm ma
nures and the cultivation of clover
rhe heavy losses of nitrogen and hu-
mus from the soil can be checked,
and larger yields and better quail
ity of wheat secured.

Agricultural Education.

"Do graduates of agricultural col
leges easily secure positions? If so
what are some of them, and what
salary do they pay?"
So asks a correspondent of the Chi
cago Rural Voice and Editor Burke
answers as follows:
"Our correspondents question may
be answered broadly by the statement
that it is doubtful if graduates from
any professional or chronological
school to-day are in such immediate
demand at good wages as are grad
yates from the agricultural colleges
of the country. To be more specific,
we may say that the Wisconsin Col
lege never yet has been able to sup
ply the demand for graduates, espe-
cially those from its short course,
and we are advised the pay reaches
all the way from $40 to $50 month
and board, at the start. Iowa sent
thirty-three of it's agricultural boys
to fine positions at the close of the
last school year; Ohio Agricultural
College makes the fine record of hav-
ing now engaged in practical agri-
culture 80 per cent of it's graduates.
To be still more specific, we know
! of one graduate of Cornell who STEP
ped from school into a thousand-a-
year job, and who was raised to 81
400 salary the second year; another
agricultural student, we are advised,
is in charge of China's agricultural
educational work at a high salary,
and still another purpose. The
young man who graduates from an
agricultural college, determined to
and capable of putting to practical
account the knowledge he has ac-
quired, is as certain of a good posi-
tion as anything on this earth could
be-"

Some General Observations on Farm
Improvement.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

1m p1ONCAACA|'
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Owners of lands cannot be too
careful of the soil. The silica and
other properties are easily carried
off by heavy rains and floods, never
to return without great trouble and
expense. Deep plowing is only one
way to prevent their escape. Side
hill ditching, terracing, and horizon
tai blowing, with subsoiling, will
prevent floods from washing off the
soil, and will retain the fertilizers
applied or gathered from the rains.
Lands properly cared for will pro-
duce some crop to shade and enrich
themselves if not taken off; when
removed, something else should be
substituted to prevent barrenness.
Good farmers will always have some
remunerative crop on every acre of
their lands, not only for what they
bring in, but for their preservation,
a part of which should be plowed
under as the cheapest mode of fer
tilizing.
Stock and poultry raising is made
most profitable by allowing the ami
mails and fowls to gather their own
food when the lands are dry; be-
sides, they distribute their excre-
ment without cost. To improve the
fertility of the lands is a two-edged
sword in acquiring wealth; while a
part goes into the purse, the remain
der is retained in the soil for future
use.
Good roads on the farm are as i'm
portant as elsewhere. But water
carriage is generally cheaper than
hauling, especially so when most con-
venient, and as many productive
fields lie near streams or canals
made for draining, both of which
may be utilized and more economical
than transporting long distances
over steep hills and bad roads. Mil
lions of acres of unimproved swamp
or bottom lands in almost every
State might and should be made to
produce something more profitable
than malaria and musqitoes, and one
II
engines can market produce and lum-
Der at small cost.
Soiling stock on rainy days is bet
ter than tramping lands or using dry
or concentrated food because more
economical.

Mr.. W. w. D. Edmiston, of New

tanning only little more than six

stacks of hay that, to put them at a
very low estimate, will weigh $500
pounds each, or a total of 10000
pounds on the plot. This hay can be
easily cashed in the meadow at $40

Concluded from last week.)

during the Middle Ages, we come to
the age when inventors began turn
ing their attention to machines to
tighten the labor of harvesting; to
time when competition was becom-
ing more fierce, labor more costly
and any saving of time gain to civ
ilization.
EARLY HARvEs TING MACHINES
In 1886 a machine was constructed
by William Pitt, of Pendeford, Eng
land, which was a header. A cylin-
der, fitted with rows of comlSlik
teeth, was placed horizontally on(the
front part of the frame, and made,to
revolve by power transmitted to it
from the wheels. AS the cylinder re-
volved, the inclined teeth caught the
heads of grain and carried them
over into the box of the machine.
The animal was, of course, attached
behind, a characteristic method of
hitching in all these early forms,
since it was essential that the grain
should not be trodden upon, and no
one had as yet thought of the side
cut.
In 1903 Mr.. Salmon, of Woburn,
brought ou a machine with several
new features, the most ARaRQrts1 s )
which was the cutter used. This COZ
sisted of a row of vibrating knives
acting over stationary blades, and
was the first vibrating cutter. It
was also the first to combine the re-
ciprocating and advancing motion,
and was the first hint at the third
class of cutters, or those with a re-
ciprocating knife. Numbers of new
machines we're brought out every
year, but none we're perfect enough
to be of very great value to farmers.
Up to 1881 there had been two
French, one German, thirty-three
English and twenty-five American
inventions recorded.
America was the birthplace of the
successful reaper. In no respect
have American inventors exhibited
their genius to a greater degree than
in the development of farm machin-
cry. They have emancipated the
farm laborer from a CALLING task and
made possible a wonderful progress
in agriculture. The number of in
ventors is very great, but as to which
should have more credit for further
ing the development of machines, it
is difficult to decide. Each profted.
by the new inventions of the other
and as the result of their combined
efforts in improvement we have the
wonderfully complicated, but per
fectly adjusted reaper and binder,
cutting a five to eight foot swath in
the heaviest grains, and leaving tho
bundles neatly tied and punched COM
veniently for shocking. And in the
immense wheat fields of the West
we have the combined header and
thresher which cuts the grain :
threshes and sacks it ready to b
hauled to the barn. These machine

The Influence of Wheat Growing on
Soil Fertility.


Soil Fertility.
The Minnesota Experiment Sta
ton is conducting a series of expert
ments for the purpose of demon
strating the influence of continuous
wheat growing on the fertility of the
soil. These experiments have now
been carried on for eight years, and
the conclusions reached are summa-
rised in the following statement. It
may be pointed out that whilst these
conclusions are predicated on the
use of clover as the recuperative
crop, yet that like results would
doubtless be obtained from the use of
COW peas, soy beans and vetches,
grown in the rotation in the place of
clover.
CONCLUSIONS.
1. When wheat was grown contin-
uously upon the same soil for eight
years, there was a loss of LOO
pounds per acre of nitrogen, about
300 pounds being utilized as plant
food and 1,4OO pounds lost by the de-
cay of the animal and vegetable mat
ter of the soil and the-liberation of
the nitrogen as gaseous and soluble
compounds. During the eight years
of continuous wheat cultivation
there was a loss of over 81 per cent
of the total nitrogen of the soil,
equivalent to an annual loss of 175
pounds per acre in addition to that
used as plant food.
2. When wheat was grown in rota-
tiOn with clover and oats, five crops
of wheat being removed in eight
years, later yields per acre were Sc
cured and the total loss of nitrogen
from the soil was reduced to 500
pounds or about $50 pounds in ex-
cess of that utilized as plant food.
When corn was grown with clover
and oats in a rotation and farm ma
nure was used, the total loss of nitro
gen from the soil, for eight years,
was less than 100 pounds in excess
of that removed as plant food.
8. When the oats and barley were
grown continuously the losses of nj
trogen from the soil were nearly as
large as when wheat was grown con-
tinuously.
4. When corn was grown continu-
ously the loss of nitrogen from the
soil was less than half as large as
when wheat was grown continuous
ly. When corn is introduced into a
rotation of crops, the losses of nj
trogen are less than if wheat were
grown.
5. When wheat was grown contin-
uously there was an annual loss of
over 1000 pounds per acre of humus
due to the fermentation and decay
of the animal and vegetable matter
of the soil. When wheat was grown
in a rotation with clover and oats, no
material loss of humus from the soil
occurred.
6. The loss of humus changed the

John Mitchell.

OF all the men who have had to do
with the coal situation John Mitchell
unqueStionably comes out with the
greatest credit. He has manifested
qualities that constitute men great.
He occupied delicate and difficult
position. He had to deal with public
opinion on the one hand and with ig-
norant, illiterate and unreaSoning fol-
lowers on the other. If he failed of
securing and retaining the confidence
of either element his cause was lost.
That he did retain the confidence OF
public and miners alike is the best
tribute to his astuteness and sagacity.

Operators Ready to Resume.

The superintendent of the mining
companies at Scranton, Pa. say that
as far as that region is concerned the
majority of the mines could be work
ed to their fullest capacity within a
week after the strike was off. With
the exception of few places men
have been at work right along clean
ing up falls, keeping the timbering re-
paired and otherwise preparing for
the day when work would be resumed.
All the mines, with one or two ex-
ceptionS, have been kept free of water
and gas, and inside Of ten days could
be in full operation.

Credit to Roosevelt.

In the midst of the rejoicing which
must fill all hearts, it would be unprof-
liable to distribute blame upon this
or that person or faction for the hard
ship through which the community
has passed, and must still suffer for a
considerable period until the coal
bins can be newly filled and the price
of fuel comes down to something near
it's customary level. 1t is fitting to
say, however, that President RoOSe-
velt has won new laurels from the on f.
come of the friendly intervention
which he initiated.

To Pay Salaries to Prosecutors.

Attorney General Taylor says his
plan to have prosecuting attorneys
paid salaries, instead of fees for con-
victions, is proving very popular. A
very important feature of such law
will be the removal of that which
places the blood of a man on the
hands of the proSecustor. He can
but feel that a conviction will mean
more money to him than a failure tc
convict and this mercenary feature
should be eliminated. The best exam
pie of the working of such law is the
method used by the United States at
tOrney. He is paid straight salary
for doing his duty. The fee system
has been abolished in several other
states, and wherever the salary plan
is used the greatest satisfaction has
resulted.
