Farming by the disk harrow meth
ods induces slovenliness and superb
ciality in the cultivation Of the SOIL
Vast areas of grain producing territory
are now worked almost wholly with
this tool, and the good old fashioned
blowing of the fields is a lost art.

pace which kills-more land, more land,

to freedom from disease, but better

way Of illustration we note that $50 or

suggested In these notes a year ago.

300 sheep by eight or ten adjoining

One eastern railway corporation is at
work trying to solve the important
question of future supply of ties for
the use of the road by setting out it's
right of way with black locust trees.
The roads have on the average not less
than four acres Of land available for
this purpose for each mile Of road and
in the level prairie sections even more,
and this land could be put to far better
use devoted to timber culture than to
be an annual expense to the corpora

Young Physician Meets Death
by DroWning--1ryIng to
Save Girl.

wild surf i'm heroic but vainefforts 10
save the life of Miss Merle Shannon OF
Williamsport, Pa, a bathing companion,
Dr. Joseph Melvin OF Carbondale. Pa,
gave up his life yesterday. The heroism
was witnessed by several thousand per-
sons on the beach and broadwalk, who
watched the life and death struggle of
the couple in the brakers.
The tragic occurrence took place at the
sea end of New Jersey avenue. The girl
was i'm the surf and was breasting the
waves considerable distance from
shore. when a powerful breaker lifted
her off her feet, dragged her from the
hold of Dr. Melvin and carried her into
deep water.
Not knowing how TO swim, she began
TO cry for help. DR.. Melvin, without
thought of personal danger and knowing
that he would be helpless over his head,
as he was but a poor swimmer. dehber-
ately went TO his fate. Dr. Melvin strug-
gled 10 the side IL the drowning girl and
caught her bathing skirt. He clung TO IL
for a minute or more, when another
breaker separated him from his hold.
Three life guards at the first alarm OF
danger hurried into the water. They
were Hugh Anderson, Charles Derrick
and Charles Beach. the two former being
stationed at the end of the jetty, which is
considered a dangerous point.
Anderson, with a. life line, reached DIR.
Melvin as he was tirn from the hold he
had on the skirt of his companion. DR..
Melvin became unconscious as the life
guard began TO work in shore with him.
The two other guards dived after the
disappearing form of the girl. but IL had
been carried away beneath the water and
could not be found
Energetic efforts TO revive respiration
failed. In the crowd which gathered was

work. unconscious that IL was her son
whose life was lost. She did not discov-
