Round off two short rockers, say, one
foot long by two and Il half inches

Set one on the post and the other on

not be too far from the gatepost.
Take short, small link chain, secure
it to the gate, pass over the pulley in

All who have taken up prairie farms
will recognize the truth of the follow.
ing statement of Professor Ten Eyck
of Kansas in regard to them:
When the wild prairie is first broken
the soil is mellow, moist and rich, pro.
ducing abundant crops. After n few
years of continuous grain cropping and
cultivation the physical condition of
the soil changes-the soil grains be-
come finer, the soil becomes more COM
pact and heavier to handle, it dries out
quicker than it used to and often turns
over in hard clods and Jumps when
plowed. The perfect filth and freedom
from clods, so characteristic of virgin
soils, is always more or less complete
ly restored whenever land has been
laid down to grass for sufficient
length of time.

Larses. Loavss In the World.

The largest loaves of bread baked
in the world are those Of France and
Italy. The "pipe" bread of Italy is
baked in loaves two or three feet
long, while in France the loayes are
made in the shape of very long rolls
four or five feet in length and in
many cases even six feet. The bread
of Paris is distributed almost exclu-
sively by women, who go to the yari-
Gus bakehouses at $3.50 a. IN. and
spend about an hour polishing up
the loayes. After the loayes are
thoroughly cleaned of dust and grit
the "bread porter" proceeds on the
round of her customers. Those who
live in apartments or flats find their
loayes leaning against the door.

Among the many creatures that

with their very long hindlegs, short

their families with them to the bot

their long hind feet into the soft mud.
They work themselves down into their
beds backward until at last they are
covered under the mud, all except the
tips of their noses.
There they so to sleep. After awhile
they have an Ice spread over them,
and they can sleep safely all winter
They do not get hungry all this time

A chemical weed killer has been de-

pertinent station in attempts to kill
wild mustard, cocklebur, yellow dock,
etc. The peculiar thing claimed for this
poison is that when sprayed on a grow

the weeds without injury to the cult
waited crop. The solution used consists
of 100 pounds of iron sulphate dis
solved in hfty-four gallons of water,

Jasper Wills, a we'll known Dry
creek farmer, was seriously injured
in a runaway accident at 8 o'clock
this morning while on his way to the
city from his ranch eight miles north
of Walla Walla. While near the O.
R. & N. depot, Wills team took
fright at an engine being used in
street work on Elm, and dashed out
Eighth street toward Main at a ter
rifle pace. Wills made hereculean eff
forts to bring the frightened animals
under control, but without success AS
the team rounded into Cherry street,
Will was pitched headlong into the
street
William Preston, an expressman,
who noticed the runaway, rapidly fol-
lowed the team and found Wills lying
unconscious on the sidewalk at
Eighth and Cherry, with blood pouring
from nasty scalp wound. With the
aid Of a bystander, Preston loaded
Wills into his express wagon and hur-
ried him to the Walla Walla hospital
Wills partially regained conscious
ness while en- route to the hospital
and complained of the pain in his
shoulder. He was placed under an
anaesthetic and his wounds dressed
by DR.. G.. B. Stewart. The scalp
wound proved the most serious al
though the injured man suffers Sc
verely from the shock and the pain in
his left shoulder which was badly
wrenched.
The team ran into telephone pole
at Fifth and Cherry and one of the
horses was knocken unconscious for
few minutes. The hack and harness
were slightly damaged.
