A REMARKABLE SALE.

Everyone seems to be buying
'ewn swing, the delivery wagons CT
the Puddephatt Furniture Manufac-
turing company are kept busy all day
lately delivering swings. To get them
at lower price than other dealers
it was necessary to make contract
for a large amount and save freight
by having them shipped in carload
lots, but from the present indications
even this large number will not sup
ply the demand. They are selling good
lawn swings for $4.95, which is GER
tainly much lower than they nave ev
o- been sold elsewhere If you have
mt purchased one yet you had better
call them up, cid phone 3O1, new
phone 119. and have one sent out, be-
cause after this lot is gone they may
not be able to furnish them for $4.95.
Send your order to the Puddephatt
Furniture Manufacturing company,
because the same swing elsewhere
will cost you from 81 to $3.50 more.

WASTE OF HUMAN LIFE

ACCGruluS 10 Tie SldtlSllCS COiiSCteu
by the New York State Bureau OF
Labor. 6.40S accidents occurred last
year in eleven selected but not unduly
dangerous industries. Mr. Daniel T.
Pierce in Public opinion, May %. calls
attention to these statistics and says:
Accidents in other trades raise the
total of injuries tc workers in New
York state in one year to 1000 How
absurdly inadequate are the statistics
usually accepted Oh this point, is
shown by the fact that the state
authorities discovered 1922 accidents
in three months. while employers
never reported as many as 1,So0 ac-
cidents for an entire year. The fact
is that no one knows how many work
ing men and working women are injur-
ed in the course of their duties We
co net know this any more than we
know how much injury is done to in
0ividuals and to society by the en-
rloyment of child labor.
The mine is another torture cham
ter and grave for wcrkmen. Fifteen
hundred men are killed and $500 in
cured on an average each year in
the coal mines alone. These are the
| figures published by thegeological
survey. and are probably almost COM
plete, independent investigations in
| Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois
placing the coal mine killings at 1900
IN these three states.
In ether lines of industry there are
some particularly glaring instances
of work that kills. The cutlery
operative who starts at the age Of II
| is fortunate if he is able to work at
his trade until he is 35. Glass work
ers do not last so long. Lead poison
ing produces early death or decline
IL many kinds of work. An average
cf man a day is killed in tunneling
| the rivers around New York. So
the ghastly record might be continued
tc show that the making Of liylihood
under present industrial conditions
is quite as dangerous and almost as
wasteful as the career of the soldier.
Mr.. w. J. Client, author of the two
Icriginal social studies, "Our Benovel
ent Feudalism" and Mass and Class
has pointed cut that the Pennsylvania
coal mines furnish an industrial
Bull Run" every year In the bat
tile Of 1861, S14 men lost their lives.

Figuring on Sugar Beets.

Reports received show further in
creases in beet sowings this season in
the United States as compared with
those of last year. In Colorado, Utah
and Idaho, where the conditions are
especially favorable at this time, some
factories have reached the limit Of
their capacity and have been obliged
to refuse further contracts. Certain
factories in that section report 60 TO
100 per cent increased acreage, while
in other parts the area planted will be
aboct the same as in the previous sea-
son. the present indications pointing
to sn average of 80 per cent increase
in the sowings of the whole country
Based upon the favorable average
yield of 19o4-5, total production of
1885, 600 tons of sugar might be expect
ed this year, but with conditions like
those of 1904 the outturn would not
exceed 245, 900 tons of sugar. 1t must
be borne in mind, however, that SOW
ings in many sections are not yet COM
pleted and that final figures may make
a different showing The actual pro-
duction of sugar last season n9O4-J)
was 200,722 tons.-Sugar Trade Jour

Keepinp the Soil Rich.


A;r. Wright, dairy commissioner OF
Iowa, says, "In Iowa one of the laws
OF the land is that we must grow corn
and grass. Another is that we must
feed these crops to hogs and cattle.
If we don't do the first We cannot
do the second. If we don't do the Sec

Of the land, or of nature itself in near
ly all sections, or rather it might bs
stated little differently. If we do
not return to the soil some of the fer
tility taken from it, it will cease to
produce profitable crops. Even the
much Toasted soil of the Western
prairies is not a mine of inexhaust-
IDLE fertility as we used to hear il
called. The market gardeners of
Massachusetts and many others grow
neither corn nor grass, and feed Meth
er cattle or hogs, but they realize that
they cannot long continue to harvest
good crops unless they procure from
some source the elements that pro-
mote plant growth, and return them to
the soil. Farmers of Iowa are for
tunate In that their cattle and hogs
when sold do not carry away fertil-
ity from the farm as do grains, hay
and roots.

Care off Alfalfa.

SO new is the alfalfa crop to most
farmers that too much stress cannot
be laid on the Importance of cutting
the crop at the proper time. This sub
ject WIS touched upon in this depart
ment recently, but demands attention
again. One of the best authorities on
alfalfa raising says the late cutting
Of the first crop Injuries the plant more
than at any other time, and we have
found it profitable to cut alfalfa the
first time as soon as one-tenth IL in
bloom, even though the weather was
bad and we knew the crop would gpoil
in curing. The increased yields from
succeeding cuttings over that cut lSte
much mere than makes up for the loss
OF the first crop.
Alfalfa growers who are trying the
crop for the first time should bear the
above statement In mind, for as SHAT
ed, it is not only the injury to the sec
ond and succeeding crops or cutting
that should be avoided. but there 10
danger of such utter ruin to the plant
itself that the field has to be plowed
Under and reseeded. One can better
afford to sacrifice the first cutting than
to run the risk of losing the entire aet-
ting. In the matter of curing alfalfa
hay. bear in mind that the cut hay
must be protected from the rain, for
once well wet after cutting there is no
care or treatment that will restore its
feeding value Large owners Of al
falfa have not hesitated to have small
caps made so that the small cocks OF
hay can be protected in case OF need;
they find 3 pays If the two points
in raising alfalfa here given are fol-
lowed, one will have little trouble In
harvesting the crop.

Woman in Farm Work.

Many agricultural papers are advo-
eating the plan of asking the women
members of their families to assist in
the lighter part of outdoor farm work,
a subject which had better be let
alone. Any farmer who needs the
help of his wife and daughter in the
field would better be out of the bust
ness. Where is the farmers wife who
has so much leisure on her hands that
she can assist in the farm work prop
err?
If there are such women, turn the
poultry over to them and see them
make money. Farmers who are advo-
eating this outdoor work for women
would better look more closely into
the situation, when they will see that
what most farmers wives need is help
IN the woman's work of the farm
in the kitchen, in the dairy and in the
hundred and one things they have to
do, especially if there are small chill
dren in the family. Most men are lib

farm work, but mighty stingy when If
comes to hiring help to assist the over
