first the venture was considered very
hazardous, as this is principally farm

true Of hay. grain and potatoes.

was received for both flocks.
A number of new settlers have moved

at almost any season either as laborers or
renters Besides, this place needs num-

derstood that there will be no strong
effort made to place the capital stock
with Bountiful men. the intention being
70 provide nearly all of the capital from

noon on a curve one mile west of Ala
zon' six miles from here. The collision
occurred during a binding snowstorm,
and was caused by Engineer QuiIlinan
or the freight running by AlazOn,
Inough only few moments before he
mad been warned at Wells to take the
siding there and clear the fast mail
pullman has no excuse TO offer, say
ing he forgot all about the meet
with the fast mail The trains met on
the main line and the force of the i'm
pact was terrific. Both engines are
welded together and all but demolished,
portions Of them being scattered
around in the sagebrush for yards. The
boiler heads are driven into each other
a distance of more than eighteen
inches, and so firmly united that they
cannot be forced apart. Only one car
on the fast mail was derailed, being
shattered into bits. Fortunately there
was no one in this car. Sixteen cars

YOUNG Saves Lives.
His instantaneous action brought his
train down from a speed of fifty miles
to about twenty miles an hour when
the collision occurred. Had he not
stayed at his post of duty the mail
clerks, in their flimsy cages, would
have been ground to atoms. When he
could do no more, Young jumped, es-
Gaping all injury with the exception of
spraTned ankle. His fireman had
jumped and escaped unhurt The en-
gtnemen on the freight also jumped
and escaped with few bruises. A thou

How to Breed Potatoes.

Stock breeders apply natural laws
in reproducing superior stock. To
raise superior potatoes the same nat
ural laws must be applied. Begin now
and breed up your potato stock.
Select for seed not the largest or
the smallest, but those smooth, firm
and finely shaped. Cut them from end
to end, not across grain, as that cuts
the sinew of the seed potato and
smaller potatoes always result when
seed potatoes are cut ANY way. as is
usually done.
Then let them lie for a few hours
in the sunshine until a thin film
forms over the cut surface. Then
they are ready to plant. Plant them
cut side down, if possible. They will
grow if planted the other way, but 1t
takes the sprout longer to come up
from the under side of the cut seed
potato. Make other conditions right,
and keep this work up year after year
and a wonderful crop of superior po-
tatoes will be the reward.-Vernon A.
Allen, in The Farmers Voice.
