about 10 o'clock Sunday evening. At
about midnight Mr.. Allars also re-
tired. vt about ) O'Clock Monday
morning the two daughters were sud
denly awakened by the noise as of a
body falling. They sprang from bed
and ran to the room of their parents
to find their mother lying unconscious
upon the floor near the door. They
sounded the alarm down the hallway.
and guests soon came to their assist
ance and DR.. Speers was summoned.
He f,,und both Mr. and Mrs. Affairs in
a very serious condition, suffering
from asphyXiation. After hard work
they were partially restored and now
are on the road to recovery. II seems
highly likely that Mr.. Allars on re-
firing for the night. in the darkness
of the room, reached up to the chan
delier to turn on the electric light
and that his hand first came in con-
tact with the gas burner key, and
that that was turned wide open. But
for the fact that. on account of the
warmth of the night, a door and win
dow were left open, allowing a slight
draft of air to pass through their
apartment, the couple would undoubt-

Chief of Police Kittilsen has solved
the dust nuisance on the paved streets
it is believed. He is using the big
street sweeper in the day and has it
closely follow the sprinkling wagons.
The result is that there is no cloud of
dust raised andufhe brushes of the
sweeper pick up dust reduced TO a
mud consistency in an even more eff
fective maner than it is possible with
the large scoop shovels. Mayor Skin
ner's plan of having men go over the
pavement every day will probably be
followed with the aid of the sweeper.

Gently, where the reclamation Of q
farm from the stumps and the rocks
was the work Of an average lifetime,
and when all was done there remained
a soil so poor and impoverished that
only an annual dose of high priced
commercial fertilizers would enable it
to produce any sort of crop. The
west need never come to this; at least
it never should. If run down by negli-
gent and piratical methods of farming,
as much of this good western land al
ready is, it is still easily recuperated
by judicious stocking and clovering. It
is a grand heritage, altogether too
choice gift from the Creator to be

CONSERVATION OF MOISTURE.

CONSERVATION OF MOISTURE.
If we could see the process Of evap-
Grating the moisture from the earth as
readily as we can see the rain falling
and being absorbed we would find out
some strange things. We would see a
tree pumping barrels of water a day
out Of the earth through its leaves into
the air, would see hill Of corn using
up several pailfuls Of water a day,
would see the sun sizzling the water
out of the baked and crusty field just
as the fire licks up the water in a fry
ing pan, would see the moisture drawn
by capillary attraction rushing up from
the cool and moist subsoil to allay the
thirst of growing plant and tree and
feed the insatiate sun. But we see
none of these things, and. not seeing
them, we forget that they are and SO
blunderingly and foolishiy neglect
those simple mechanical means which
will largely prevent this waste of pre-
cious moisture. "

A SUGGESTIVE FACT.

There seems to be almost no limit to
the amount of money which the rail-
ways of the country. are willing to
spend to eliminate the curves and
grades from their lines of road This
fact is suggestive. If it will pay rail-
road to spend SO much to make it
little easier to haul a load of freight,
won't it pay to get rid Of some Of the
curves and grades in our agricultural
operations? One heavy grade on the
average farm is a poor grade Of stock:
another, trying to cover too many acres: !:
another. lack of systematic rotation of
crops, and one Of the dangerous curves
Is to be always trying to get crop
from the soil and neither feed it nor
give it needed rest; another is weeds.
Do you get on to their curve these late
summer days? Let's take. a lesson from
the railway corporations.

A BAD SYSTEM.

= .t . He 81 4
The too common practice of renting
farms from year to year is the bane Of
western agriculture. 1t will use up the
best farm in the country. 1t absolute
" bars any system of rotation Of crops.
the renovation of the soil by clover or
other legumes, and usually involves the
land skinning process of grain and hay
selling from the farm, continual taking
from the soil and returning nothing.
This system does more to impOverish
the farms Of the country than any
other thing. The wise farm owner will
insist on at least three year lease,
and. better, five, the growing Of clover
on certain acreage of the farm and
the feeding of the crops to some kind Of
stock. The average one year renter is
a skinner from away back, and the
farm is always the worse for his ten
ancy.
