A Man who Can Do Things.

Some years ago, a group of New
York f1nanciers interested in acquiring
entrance for a certain railway system
into Pittsburg were in consultation
over what seemed some insurmouut-
able legal obstacle in the way of their
desires All but Baer, who was pres
ent, had expressed their opinion that
the thing was impossible. Morgan nm
ally turned to him and asked:
What do you think about It
II believe it can be done" was the
reply; in fact, I have already prepared
a brief on the subject, which is in my
desk and if you will give me time TO
consult it and consider the subject I
am certain that I can show you how
it can be accomplished.
Mr.. Morgan looked at him a moment
and then, with a hearty slap on his
back, exclaimed:
You're my man; want a man
who can do things"
The meeting was adjourned. and
when reconvened Baer made good MS
promise, after which the thing was ac-
complished.
Among those present at the first
meeting was President Harris, OF the
Philadelphia & Reading railway. soon
after these occurrences he was sue
ceeded by Mr.. Baer.
Far-sight and preparedness are Two
of his chief characteristics. Seeing.
many years ahead, the obvious neces-
stiles of the interests with which ne
was identified, Mr.. Baer has trequehtly
as in the above instance, come pre-
pared. beforehand to clear the difficult
ties from the situations which his col
leagues had not anticipated. Thus
without the arts of the courier, IN
different to personal sympathies or an
/ tipathies, without recourse to hattery
or caioIery, Mr.. Baer relies. on a blunt
statement of facts, and as the interests
he serves usually are bettered BY lol-
! lowing the lead of his judgment, he has
made himself a pre-eminently neces-
/ sary part of their organiza ion.-F'roH

HEALDsBURG HEARD FROM.
First Report From California Town in
Earthquake Belt.


Oakland Cal. May 5.=For the first
time since the earthquake OF April Is,
communication with Healdsburg, Sono-
ma county, was restored today. There
has been much speculation as to the
cate Of the town. The effects Of the
shocks are detailed in the following
dispatch TO the Associated Press:
1.-The earthquake of April 8 infiet-
ed considerable damage upon the bust
ness section of this city The large
brick structures suffered most; the new
Odd Fellows building, which had been
completed only about three months at
81 cost Of almost $4,000, collapsed, as
did J. Silverstein's large dry goods
store and twenty-three smaller bust
ness buildings and five dwellings.
Many other business houses and
residences were partly wrecked, every
structure in the town and vicinity being
damaged from SIS, 600 to much larger
figures. The loss IS approximated at
almost $500, 900. There were no fatali-
ties and only a few persons slightly in
jured by falling bricks
'In Alexander valley. five miles
north Of here, the ground was left in
ridges, and in many places landslides
occurred and damned up some OF the
small creeks, forming lakes.
Windsor, seven miles south of here
suffered considerably from the earth
quake, many of its finest new buildings
being entirely destroyed.
''Sebastopol, Sonoma county, which
was just recovering from its last big
IRE, is one mass Of ruins, especially the
business section. The damage inflicted
IS estimated at about $4,000"

it carefully, enough moisture is re-

The secret Of the Campbell system of
soil culture, explains Farm and Home,
is to retain what moisture is received
by the soil and allow very little to es-
cape by evaporation. This is entirely
possible and the great results attend

success.

feet inside diameter and deep enough
to contain $500 gallons of water, al
lowing for the filter as represented in
figure 1. The filter itself will have a
pore space equal to full third or
more of it's volume, and so does not
reduce the capacity of the cistern
more than two-thirds of the volume
of the filter wall
In figure 2 the cost of the filter will
be less than in figure 1, but the ca
pacity of the filter will be as much
less as the filter wall is less; still
filter Of such size would supply an
ordinary family with an abundance of
water so long as the depth of water in
the cistern exceeded three feet. If
the cistern is given the form repre-
sented in figure it would be neces-
sary to use two thicknesses of brick
to Withstand the pressure of the water
when the water surface was much
lowered on the filter chamber below
that Of the surface outside. If, how
ever, the walls are arched slightly so
as to convex toward A then a single
layer of brick will give a sufficient
strength.
The top of the cistern should be of
cement concrete, either slightly arched
so as to be self-supporting, or it may
be fiat and reinforced by one or more
I-beams resting on the walls of the
cistern and filter. In any case the es-
sential. point is that it should be water
and vermin-tight. The entrance way
and overflow will provide sufficient
ventilation but there should be pro-
vided manhole to the filter B, and
also to the chambers G, and A. The

are necessary to provide for occasion
al cleaning; and there is possibility
but not a probability that the sand
might need changing after good
many years.

serious objection to killing the crop,
for the reason that the greater sur
face exposed by killing aids evapora-
ton. In the accompanying sketch,
which have taken from recent bull
letin from the Maryland experiment
station, is shown a typical potato vine.
Suppose that the soil about this vine
is hilled. The result is that the pota-
toes and roots are nearer to the sur
face than if the land is level on three
sides. think that the point I wish to
make is so clear that further discus
sion is unnecessary.
l must admit, however, that killing
the potato field with shovel plow the
last time through may have some ad:
vantages, particularly during a wet
season-the surface potatoes are bet
ter covered, perhaps, and the soil will
dry out quicker. Concerning the for.
mer advantage think that the farmer
should endeavor to select the potato
that grows down and thus avoid sun
burns.
would like to have some readers
discuss their experience in The Prairie
Farmer telling why they hill their pc.
tatoes. I think it will be found that
when everything is sifted down that
some will become convinced that a
good many are doing some useless
work and leaving their potatoes in a
worse condition to resist dry weather
than would be the case with level cul
tivation.

CULTVATING THE POTATO.
The Merits of Level as Against Hill
cultivation-Better for Dry
Weather.

There are two distinct ways of cul-
tivating the potato-level and hill cul-
tivation. The latter is the older meth
cd and many farmers still follow this
plan, irrespective of the possible value
OF level cultivation l believe that a
good deal depends upon the year and
the kind of potatoes planted I have
found, however, says Will county
(ll) correspondent Of the Prairie
Farmer, that I get just as satisfactory
results from level cultivation as I used
to get from killing, besides l have the
advantage of keeping my ground in
better condition..
During a dry year I have found
