GAR EN- TALK

Real, instructive, personal gardening
gardening con amore, went out of fash
ion in this country for perhaps fifty
years. The grandmothers and grandfa
theirs used to do it in a sweet and sim,
pie way, but popular gardening played
Il small part. Meantime England kept
alive the gardening instinct of the race
in the cottage garden-a true and beau
tiful thing Our current fashion for the
home garden, pretty and useful. is
really the English cottage garden
grated upon our Indigenous grand
mothers garden"
All onion seeds that are plump and
full will sink in water, and those that
are chaffy and light will float so there
is ready means of. separating the
good from the poor seed.

FLAMES FOLLOW EARTHQUAKE,
COMPLETING AWFUL WORK
OF DESTRUCTION.
LOSS OF LIFE SAID TO Be IMMENSE
ESTIMATED THAT NUMBER OF
KILLED MAY REACH INTO
THE THOUSANDS.

San Francisco, April 20-Reports
from the interior are most alarming.
Santa Rosa, one of the prettiest cities
of the state, in the prosperous county
of Sonoma, is a total wreck There
are 10000 homeless, men, women and
children huddled together. The loss
of life is not to be estimated. 1t will
probably reach the thousands.
AS the last great seismic tremor
spent it's force in the earth the whole
business portion tumbled into ruins.
The main street is piled many feet
deep with the fallen buildings. Not
one business building is left intact
This destruction includes all of the
county buildings. The four-story
courthouse, with its high dome, is
merely pile of broken masonry.
What was not destroyed by the
earthquake has been swept by fire.
Until the flames started there was
hope of saving the residence district.
It was soon apparent tnat any sucn
idea that might have been entertained
was to be abandoned.
This was appreciated by the citizens
and they prepared to desert their
homes. Not even their household
goods were taken. They made for the
fields and hills to watch the destruc-
ton of one of the most beautiful cities
of the West.
Messengers bring tidings Of the de-
struction Of Healdsburg, Geyserville,
Cloyerdale, Hopland and Ukiab. This
report takes in the country as far
north as Mendocino and Lake counties
and as far west as the Pacific ocean.
These are frontier counties and have
not as large towns as farther south.
In every case the loss of life and
property is as shocking as here.

why Is ThiN Thuae

Working on the mosi trustworthy
statistics optainable in regard to road
accidents an esteemed contemporary
has figured out that the automobile is
just ten times as destructive as the
horse The automobile is supposed to
be entirely under the control of the
driver. while the horse has 4 will Of his
own. and the inference is that 4 horse
is more or less dificult to control for
this reason. Why does not this theory
work out in practice?

Town of BrawIey Practically Wiped
Out by Earthquake.
Los Angeles, Cal, April .20.--Reports
from Rrawley, a small town on the
Southern Pacific railway 120 miles
south of Los Angeles, state that the
town was practically wiped out by the
earthquake of Wednesday. This is
the only town in Southern California
known to have suffered from the
shock. Southern Pacific officials here
say the following buildings there, all
brick structures, were destroyed:
BraWley bank building, Paulin build
ing and the principal merchandise
buildings of the town In addition
dozens of adobe houses were razed
So far as known there were no fatali-
ties. Brawley is about two years old
and had a population of about 500.

Covering Potatoes.

When we plant potatoes, says an
Ohio Farmer correspondent, we fur
row with plow drawn by two horses.
When the burrows are made there are
ridges in half of the spaces, and the
other half are level Gig. y. When
covering we use what we cal! a scrap

tongue, handles and several braces
and bolts. The length of the plank

should be about twice the distance be-
tween the rows. The plank should
have a strap Of iron at the bottom in
front for cutting edge and to pre-
vent wear
The tongue should be fastened to the
plank at right angles and securely
braced. The handles, which may be
taken from an old plow or walking
cultlvator, should also be fastened and
braced to the plank. We let each horse
walk in a furrow, but it is better to
use a long doubletree or shafts and
but one horse, SO the potatoes do not
get moved and tramped. The scraper
carries some ground ahead Of it, which
1t pulverizes.

Old Settler Passes away.

Roxana Rounds was born in the
state of Massachusetts Jan. 3, 1917,
and died at Fennimore, Wis, Sept.
10, 1906, aged 80 years, months
and 10 days. She was married to
Robert Munns of New York, Oct. IL,
1885. To them were born twelve
children. She leaves one brother
and two sisters, Andrew Rounds
and Mrs. Baker of Michigan, and
Mrs. Simons, of Superior, Wis. Ten
children survive her: Mrs. Harriet
Gingrich of Lancaster, George r.
NUNS, Fennimore, Mrs. Julia Sim
mons, of Boulder, Colo, Mrs. Mary
Blanchard of Hickory Grove, Lydia
McElwain, Dennison, Iowa, Henry
Munns, deceased, Perry Munns Of
Fennlmore, Emma Kreul of Laur-
ems, Iowa. Lyman Munns died in
infancy. She also leaves 81 grand
children and AZ great grandchildren
living.
Soon after her marriage to Mr..
Munns they went to Howard, L1v-
ingston Co., Mich, where the first
years of their married life were
spent. In the year 1914, they moved
to Belvidere, ILL.,. living there only
two years. From there they came
to Fennimore, where they lived
until their end came.
When they settled in the town Of
FennimOre 60 years ago, they soon
acquainted themselves with the
hardships of pioneer life. Their
neighbors were scarce and far be-
tween, with woods all around in
habited with bear and wolves. Mr..
and Mrs. Munns put their shoulders
to the wheel of progress and soon
had comfortable home situated on
the main travelled road between
Lancaster and Boscobel, where it
was turn ed into tavern for weary
travellers passing that way. Besides
the usual hardships of early pioneer
life, they at one time lost all their
cattle by their straying away. They
had but two horses left. After
spending many days in fruitless
search for the cattle and much
money, they set to work to accumu-
late more earthly possessions.
When the civil war broke out two
of their boys enlisted, George R !,
who served during the entire service
and Henry who was killed in the
battle at Atlanta, July IL. 1864. Mr..
Munns died at their home April 8,
1884.
Mrs. Munns was engaged in relig-
ious work of some sort until IN
trinity and old age compelled her
to remain at home. She united with
the M. E. church in 1850, and when
the Evangelical Association organ
zed a class at the Rock school
house, she placed her name there
and renamed a member OF that
body until God took her to her long
home. She was a lover of the Scrip
lures and daily read them or had
them read to her.
About the last six months OF her
life she was afflicted with blindness
and loss of mind. June Is she fell
and dislocated her hip, causing mucL
pain. From that time on she was
bedfast and most of the time IN
conscious.
The funeral services were held at
the Bethel church, conducted by the
Rev. Nickel of Wauzeka, interment
in the joint cemetery hereby.
