WOMEN IN MAD PANIC.
Two Hundred Cut Off From Es=
cape in Chicago Blaze.
ABOUT FORTY ARE INJURED

Windows or Fall From Fire Escapes
In Desperate Attempt to Get Out of
Burning Building.
Chicago, May 2.-About forty wo-
men were injured in a fire which broke
out in the building at 255 Wabash av-
enue. The first floor was occupied by
the Story & Clark Piano company and
the three upper floors by the Lotus
Lunch club, which is patronized exclu,
sively by women.
When the flames were discovered
fully 200 women, including the en-
plcyes, were in the place and at the
first cry of fire an immediate panic
ensued. A number of women leaped
from the windows Of the second and
third stories to the street below. By
far the greater number, however,
rushed to the fire escape. This was
filled in a few seconds with strug-
Cling mass Of women, making desper-
ate efforts to climb down. number
the street and others were pushed Off.
The proprietor of the lunchrOom in
formed the police that several women
failed to escape, but thorough search
of the building after the fire failed to
disclose any bodies.
Fire Runs Up Elevator Shaft.
The flames, which started in the
basement and ran up an elevator
shaft with terrific speed, cut off egress
for number of women in the front
part of the building and about two
thirds of these, despite the warnings
Of the spectators, leaped to the ground.
The others, who remained, were taken
cut by the firemen without being in
jured. It is not believed that any of
the women will die from their injuries,
although this cannot definitely be es-
tablished until after reports have been
received from the hospitals to which
they were taken.
Miss Rose Wiley and Miss Kate
O'Rourke, who were in the lunchroom
at the time the fire. was discovered,
were lnIefnaily injured. Iley III COM

ROTATION OF CROPS
ADVOCATED AS DESIRABLE
A. J. Mcclure, Superintendent of the
Northeast Experiment Farm, Gives
Good Advice.

When the same crop is grown
on the same ground year after
year there is always bad results.
For example: When wheat is
grown continuously on the same
field it becomes subject to dis
eases such as rust, and to various
kinds of insects. This is due to
the fact that these diseases and
insects multiply each succeeding
year until in such mum bers as to
destroy the crops. Weeds infest
fields where grain is grown con-
tinuously, for the same reason.
Then there is another reason
why the same crop should not
be grown continuously on the
same field. Wheat, for example,
takes large amount of nitrogen
from the soil and the soil soon
becomes deficient in this kind of
plant food.
Bad results not only follow the
continuous growing of grain
crops on the same field, but also
of cultivated crops that are
grown successfully.
Cultivated crops draw heavily
on the humus. A sandy soil will
become more sandy when only
cultivated crops are grown.
There are three classes of field
crops, namely: Grain crops,
cultivated crops and grass crops.
Crop rotation is the alternating
of these different classes of
crops, following grain with
clover, or a grass mixture for
hay, and the hay crop with some
cultivated crop as fodder corn or
potatoes. The advantages from
rotation are many. A grass crop
adds humus to the soil and when
clover is grown this plant adds
nitrogen to the soil which is the
most valuable form of soil fertil.
ity. A cultivated crop cleans the
land of weeds and puts it in a
better mechanical condition for a
grain crop.
Whether the farm is large or
small a rotation is necessary and
it is necessary whether the soil
is sand or clay.
The fault of the sandy soil is
that it is deficient in humus... with
a grass crop every third or
fourth year and MANFRED, a
sandy soil will become a better
soil each year, as in this way the
humus is increased. Humus is
decaying vegeta bic matter in the
soil. It is valuable in holding
moisture, in making the soil
more porous so that the air can
circulate through it, and in the
process of decay it warns the
soil and converts the raw forms
of plant food in the soil into
available forms so that plants
can use them.
A heavy clay soil is deficient in
humas as in sandy soil, which
causes it to bake and remain cold

and Sour so that crop rotation is
important and necessary what
ever the soil may be. The best
loan soil will become run out in
time if the cropping is such
that no humas is added.
Crop rotation then is a very
important subject for every far.
mer to consider, and at once if
the soil is sandy, for sandy soil
that is once run out is hard to
get back in condition.
A. J. MCGUIRE.
CROP ROTATIONS.
There are various systems of
crop rotations planned to meet
with the requirements of the
farm and the kind of soil, ETC.
In planning a rotation it is ne
cessary to consider the amount
Of feed needed, both roughage
and grain, the extent of pasture
or the necessity of pasturing the
cultivated land, and the crops
that can be sold from the farm
to the best advantage.
The cultivated land on the Ex-
pertinent Farm is divided into
ten series of fields, six of which
are devoted to practical rotation
of field crops. The other four
are used for experimental work
on small scale, the testing of
different varieties, differen t
methods of cultivation, etc., land
work with fruits, vegetables, etc.
The rotation of crops on the
larger fields IS planned from the
standpoint Of wheat is considered
the most profitable system of
farming for this section of the
state. Everything that is grown
with the exception of potatoes is
fed on the farm and sold in the
form of butter, meat, eggs, etc.
It is considered necessary to
manure the soil at least once in
every four years, and to do this
enough stock must be kept to
consume everything that is
grown IN hay, fodder and grain.
It must not be inferred that the
soil of this section of the state is
lacking in fertility from the
statement that it should be man
ured every fourth year. This
system is advocated for the rea-
son that it takes time and money
to clear land add every acre
cleared should be kept up to it's
highest state of productiveness.
The rotation on the Expert
ment Farm is as follows:
Series I. Four fields, 4 acres
per field, soil sandy with sand
sub.soil. Four years rotation.
Crops: Wheat, clover, fodder,
corn, potatoes, following one
another in order given. The soil
is MANFRED lightly for fodder
corn and the following year for
potatoes. Two crops of clover
is cut, the first when it is about
Z in blossoms, the second about
the middle of Septem ber.
The wheat is used for poultry,
the first crop clover and fodder
corn for dairy COWS, the second
crop clover for hogs, poultry and
young stock, the potatoes are
sold.
Series II. F ur fields, 4 acres
per field; soil, sandy loan, clay
sub soil. -Four year rotation.
Barley, oats, clover and tim
othy, fodder corn. The barley
is used for hogs, oats for horses,
first crop clover and timothy and
fodder corn for dairy COWS, Sec
ond crop clover pastured with
sheep in fall and again in spring
before blowing for fodder corn.
Ground MANFRED lightly for fod-
der corn.
Series III. Two felds,9 acres
each. Soil, clay loan with clay
sub soil. Four year rotation.
Oats two years, timothy and
clover two years. Oats and first
crop hay used for horses, second
crop hay pastured with dairy
COWS first year and plowed under

The Judgment of Caspar

Mrs. Manuela de la Torres de Mata-
moros was an honest, God-fearing
woman, a good housekeeper, and not
given to gossip, altogether a rather
superior person, of some education
and much character. Since the age of
twenty-five she had been a widow,
with four daughters, who still shared
her home, one Of them, however, as
the wife OF a physician travelling in
the United States. All the girls we're
remarkably pretty and amiable, and
very well brought up. Moreover. they
out being extrayagant, placed them in
the front rank OF the rich and eligi-
BILE of the community.
1t came to pass that young man
from Granada, who appeared in the
small town in the capacity Of real
estate agent, had an introduction into
the Torres home circle. His mother
was a friend of Mrs. Manuela, and
through her the widow had learned
that the youth had never, as yet, had
a sweetheart, and that he was quite
bashful in the society of young ladies.
Apart from this bashfulness, which
not infrequently pleased the fair Gas
par, for this was his baptismal name,
he was most desirable young man.
He has just finished reading for the
bar, and was more than presentable
personally. He had flashing dark
x1yhio HrD hn hos rtc, Of
riageable maidens, and he was past
master in the art of conversation. =
AS soon as he had made the &C
quaintance of Mrs. Manuela's daugh-
tiers, he became silent and thought
full Evidently an impression had
been made. He hardly left the house;
he began to write poetry, and even
went so far as to lose his enthusiasm
for the chase, which prior to this time
lad formed his chief amusement. He
fiirted with all the Torres girls equally
without declaring himself to either
until the situation became more tense
each day, rivalries arising among the
three young ladies, every single one
of whom was dreaming of hin as an
ideal husband.
One day Mrs. Manuela received
letter from Gaspar's mother. In this
letter she said among a few other
statements and a great many spelling
mistakes:
81 have learned with great satisfac-
ton, my dear Manuela, that my son
is in love with one Of your daughters.
He wrote me about it himself; but he
is so stupidity bashful that he does
not dare to say word. l wish you
would encourage him little, dear
for. as far as l am concerned, the
sooner the young people get married
the better"
Mrs. De la Torres de Matamoros,
animated by this letter, and appreciat-
ing the necessity of solving the enig-
ma, invited the young real estate
agent to a private conference.
"Well-well!" she began. Il have
