ADVICE FOR FARMERS.
Secretary of Agriculture Sends Out
Warming to Growers.

Secretary of Agriculture Sends Out
Warning to Growers.
Observer Todd handed the following
clipping TO a reporter for the Eagle yes
terday and said that the facts stated
therein should be brought before the
farmers and others interested in fruit
trees Mr.. Todd sometimes takes great
delight in being of great service to fruit
growers and agrculturalists in other
ways than the prediction Of weather.
Secretary J. B.. Thoburn of the Okla
homa board of agriculture gives warming
to the orchardists of Oklahoma regarding
the probability of late frosts, a warning
that is just as beneficial to the same
class of citizens in southern Kansas.
Mr.. Thoburn says that every man with
an orchard should have his spraying
pump ready to defeat the ravage of late
frost; with the liberal use of his pl1nip
any morning before the sun comes up,
the trees may be washed and the fruit
saved. The water ribs the trees and
blooms Of the frost and saves the fruit
from damage.
He says that people living in towns
MAY use their lawn hose with sprayer at
tached on their trees with like results
and that garden plants-beans. corn, to-
matoes, etc.-may be easily saved in the
same manner
Mr.. Thoburn quotes one illustration
A friend of his had half acre of straw
berries in fun bloom; there was a late
May frost which would have completely
killed the berries for that year The
farmer arose before daylight and with
the aid of his sons. turned the water
from two windmills into the strawberry
patch There were not 100 blossoms that
could be seen above the flood Of water.
but that farmer was the only man in
the county to pick berries from his own
patch that season

Thorough Experiments I'm All Phases
of Irrigation Work VIII Be Under
Government Experts-Dr. James
WithycOmbe, OF the Agricultural
College, Will Lend Valuable Assist
ance i'm the Work.

The Deschutes Irrigation and Pow
er Company has placed its entire seq
regation of 100000 acres at the dis
posal of the government and 20 acres
will be chosen for a government ex-
pertinent station.
Two experts will be sent out from
Washington. under contract TO remain
for at least three years, and constant
experiments will be made in the prop
er application of water and the grow
ing of different crops. to bring about
the best results on that particular
soil
In three years of this work the
proper manner of cultivation and the
use of resources of the country and
the agricultural world will be brought
about
The government is cognizant of the
extent OF the territory to be reclaim
ed by irrigation in Crook county. and
in this decompOsed lava formation,
waiian islands. and considered the
richest in the world, the best results
are expected.
This station is to be established at
once. and active work will be carried
on next season. There are so differ
ent methods of irrigation now in prac-
tice in the United States, and the ex-
periments will be so carried on as to
show which system gives the best re-
suits in that soil.
The station will conduct a scientific
and practical study of the soil under
actual farming operations, and the
fact that the work will be conducted
under the direction of so eminent an
expert as Elwood Mead insures re-
suits of the highest value to the coun-
try.
DIR. withycombe. director of the ex-
pertinent station of the Oregon agri-
cultural college. took an interest in
getting the station established. and
will lend valuable aid as the work
progresses.

DEAD MAN RUNS ENGINE.
Passenger Engineer sat Upright in
His Cab, stone Dead. for Miles.

McCook. Neb., Oct. 21.-A Burling-
ton passenger train was thunderinS
through the darkness on its way from
McCook 10 St. Louis late last night
while the engineer sat upright in his
seat. with his hand gripping the throt-
tie. dead.
The engineer was James O'Connell.
The train had reached a point some
distance from here and was running
at a high rate of speed. when the
fireman happened TO glance at the
engineer and observed that a pallor
had overspread his face and that his
body appeared rigid. The fireman
went over and touched the engineer
and was shocked TO discover that he
was dead. and evidently had been
dead for a number of minutes.
The fireman ran the train back to
McCook, and, when another engineer
had been supplied it went on to St
Louis. Had the engineers death not
been discovered and the train stop
ped before II reached a station II
was approaching, 1t would have col
lided with a train coming from the
opposite direction and lives would
possibly have been sacrificed.

woRID's RECORD LOWERED.
New Jersey Woman Sets New Pace
on the Typewriter.

Trenton, Oct. 21.-The worlds
typewriting record on actual practical
work has been broken by Mrs. Mar
garet Cunningham. stenographer in
the office of the supreme court here.
She wrote 21.0S9 words of legal de-
cision. requiring the utmost care, in
six and one-half hours actual time,
and not a single correction had to be
made ON the 81 pages covered.
The record is remarkable and dis
counts one made short time ago in
the Washington patent office by Miss
Olive r. Cameron of Tennessee, who
wrote $4,000 words in working day
of seven and one-half hours, using
only one sheet at a time.
Mrs. Cunningham was compelled to
make eight manifold copies, which
necessitated handling 51s sheets Of
paper and 3ee carbon sheets, nearly
eight times as many as used by Miss
Cameron. Mrs. Cunningham has been
highly complimented not only by the
justices of the court, but by the whole
staff of attaches.

GROVER CLEVELAND SPEAKS.
Will Preside Over Business Mems
Parker League.

New York, Oct. 21.-There was an
unusual air OF hustle about the dem
ocrGtic headquarters today caused by
the activity in completing arrange
ments for the mass meeting in Car
negie hall tonight, under the auspices
of the Business Men Parker and Da-
Wis Association. The announcement
that former President Grover Cleve-
land is to preside has caused more
interest to be taken in the demonstra-
ton than has attached to any of the
political rallies held in New York so
far during the present campaign.
Though the former president has
made it plain that he does not intend
to deliver a speech it is generally ex-
pected that he will have a few words
to say in expression of his views on
the issues of the present campaign
and of endorsement for the national
ticket. The principal address Of the
evening will be delivered by John G.
Carlisle, ex-secretary of the treasury.
