The work that can be done on the
land during the present month is usually
small, as it is the one month in the year
when, if We are to have any winter we
are pretty certain to get it: yet in the
ma jority of years there are days even in
this month when plowing can be done and
the clearing up OF land intended to be
cropped can make progress. if only labor
can be secured. The New Years holiday,
however, largely prevents any reliance
being placed on the hands till towards
the close of the month 1t is well, there
fore, not to attempt much beyond sec
ng that abundant supplies Of feed are
kept on hand at the barn convenient for
feeding, so that il any hard weather
should set in there will be no fear OF
the stock suffering. If the weather be
mild and the land Cry enough ploWln2
should be done, so as to lessen Work

done thoroughly. Plow deep, and where
possible and the subsoil is good clay

CONFUSION OF COMMON NAMES.
In some section of the South the Ber-
muda is called the wire grass In the
sandy, piny woods sections the name
wire grass is applied to tall grass that
grows all through the open pine forest
This is Aristida stricta, and is in no rela-
ton of the Bermuda. On the Maryland
and Delaware Peninsula the '.wire grass
is considered g great nuisance. In the
Southern part OF this region this wire
grass is the true Bermuda out of it's
proper latitude, but in the northern part
of the Peninsula the Bermuda and the
Northern quack or tWitch grass comes
in and is associated with the Bermuda,
and the farmers fail to distinguish be-
tween them and curse them both as wire
grass They have "a similar habit of
spreading by running stems, but the
Bermuda is finer in all its parts, Tor the
coarse Quack will run straight through
a potato, while the Bermuda will not.
The qUack has a flower head somewha t
similar to that of rye grass, white the
head of the Bermuda is like the delicate
SpOkes of a little wheel and is more like
the bead Of the crab grass, but finer.
But IN all the northern part CT this region
the Bermuda is out of place and can
only be a nuisance. Those who want to
see Bermuda at its pest should see it III
Central Georgia. where it fairly takes
the place that blue grass has in Ken
lucky. This confusion in common names
should be corrected and The name wire
grass be left to the Aristida of the pney
woods, which differs from other grasses
in its dry nature, as it Will burn elike
tiHder in the height of its summer

They show that the young plants when
crushed with water produce prussic acid.
This, as is we'll known, is one Of the
most rapid and deadly Of poisons. The
investigators show, however, that the
poison only exists in The young shoots
and is not found in the seed the older

poison does not exist as a free acid but
is produced by what is called a hydrolytic

stockmen. for many deaths of animals

the plant gets older the damage seems
to disappear.

iected to.

City Solicitor George e. Davidson. Of

day afternoon and went before Judge
Ambler with a petition asking that
Mayor w. A. Weaver and the board of
public safety of that city be temporari-
ly enjoined from appointing and cont
firming John w. Wyman as chief of
police.
Mayor Weaver and Attorney J. H,
Brooks also came to the city to oppose
the granting of an injunction. The
matter was argued at some length be-
fore Judge Amber.
! Weaver Is the Prohibition mayor of
East Liverpool. Since he took posses
sion of the Office. Wyman has been act
ing temporary chief and the mayor de-
sires to have him regularly appointed.
This is opposed by strong ele-
ment in the city. especially by the sa'
loon element, 1t is claimed.
The grounds upon which the injunc-
ton has been asked is that there has
been solicitation for the appointment.
and also that the applicant is not a
member of the regular police force.
Wyman was formerly sheriff of Co
lumbiana county. and marshal of Fart
Liverpool for IL years. He is Re

AIR LETS co
At GENOA
Noise OF Explos 8 o n
Alarms Residents
Of Canton.

With roar that was heard for miles,
compressed air In large main of tho
East Ohio Gas Co., near Genoa, several
miles west of Canton, let go about mid
night Saturday. The explosion tore up
large tract of swamp through which
the main passes and turned a portion
of the pipe upright in the ground.
Cantonians were awakened by the
noise and many believed that an earth
quake had occurred. The sound lasted
some time and resembled distant thun-
der.
The 1S-inch main in which the ex-
plosion took place runs from the gas
fields of West Virginia to Cleveland. 1t
will be completed about October 1, and
no gas has yet been turned into it.
Every five miles the pipe is tested with
air pressure Of about 200 pounds to the
square inch, much greater than the
pressure of the gas, which will be turn
ed into 1t.
Officials Of the East Ohio Gas Co.
claim that it Is not unusual for mainJ
to blow out when being tested with air,
A gang of men was sent out early Sum
day morning to repair the damage and
the work was completed Monday. Tests
were also made at the crossing of the
main and the Pennsylvania road to
protect the company against another
let-so.
1t is claimed by the company that
the explosion could not have occurred
had the pipes been in solid ground in
stead of swamp.
