Nitroglycerin Explosion at Bradner,

Nitroglycerin Explosion at Bradner,
o., Wrecks Plant.
The Hercules nitroglycerin factory,
located a mile and half east Of Brad
ner, Ohio, blew up with terrific force
Wednesday morning. Only three em-
ployes were in the neighborhood when
the explosion occurred, and two Of
these were killed. Nothing remains Of
the factory except huge pit in the
earth, showing where it was located.
In Bradner 20 great damage was done,
except to windows and mirrors, which
were shattered by hundreds. One Of
the men killed met terrible death. He
was battered up by the explosion and
fell among the debris, which caught
fire, and he was burned to death. The
shock of the explosion was felt at Up
per Sandusky and other towns forty
miles away.
A boiler In the basement Of the new
Eastman dormitory at East Greenwich,

Corn selection.

A steady increase in the number Of
ears per plant borne by Potter's Excel
sior sweet corn has resulted from Sc
lectlng seed with that end in view.
In 1901, the fourth year OF the ex-
perlment, but the first one In which
sufficiently detailed records were kept
to show the percentages only 80 per cent
of the plants bore more than one ear
In 1905 90 per cent bore more than one
ear, the highest number from single
plant being thirteen.
Selecting seed from the lower ear
produced on the stalk did not give as
Good results as selection from the up
per ear, which Is doubtless due to the
ract that such lower ears are often
poorly developed. - Rhode Island Ex-

vaudeville Men I'm Legitimate.

The entrance of xlaw s. Granger and
the Shuberts into the vaudeville field this
season has now had the expected result
Of bringing the OLD Williams-H Hammer

The vaudeville houses and their managers
throughout the country have banded to-

field by controlling at least thirty thea

prices than heretofore. These festivals
are given in the largest houses so as to
permit the greatest number of small price

The strayyberrx Bed.

1t will be time well spent TO stop
other work long enough to clean out the
strawberry bed. Weeds keep up a
strong fight for existence and 1t is re-
markable with what persistence they
struggle for a foothold late in the fall,
and unless destroyed they will be there
In early spring to pre-empt and occupy
the SOIL The vines should be so spread
that they form a perfect matted row
with a path from II to 1S inches wide
on each side. If the rows have become
too close, part of the plants should be
cut out This Is best done now. 1t is
better to cultivate the soil so frequent
ly that the space between the rows will
never be covered with runners. The
soil should be loose and mellow between
the rows. Upon the same principle that
a road freezes harder than a plowed
field. a berry patch that is packed hard
VIII freeze much harder than one which
Is kept mellow. A mulch of some kind
is of great Importance for protection.
It should be put on after the ground Is
frozen, and left until after the danger
Of hard freezing in the spring This
will keep the plants from "heaving,"
which is the result of alternate freez-
ing and thawing, and the blossoms are
held back long enough In the spring to
escape the usual frosts. Marsh grass
Is the best kind of mulching, as 1t lies
closer than grain straw, but rye. wheat,
oats or barley straw are suitable.
Shavings or sawdust has also been
used, and so have cornstalks and forest
leaves. There is an objection by some
growers to the use of buckwheat straw.
as 1t is believed that in some way 1t
poisons the plants, but this no doubt Is
only imaginary. In localities where
Southern pine is abundant. the needles
are spread on strawberries, and are
highly recommended for the purpose.

Weed Crops.

Every successful farmer finds that
he must assert his mastery in no I'M
certain way over the weeds, these reb-
els of the vegetable world, or they will
work havoc in his little domain and
eventually his undoing. The battle
with them must be fought increasingly,
for they are constantly GA the watch
to take advantage Of every opportunity,
remarks a writer In American Guilt
vator. Wen fight 1t out right here
IL 1t takes all samnler!'' may we'll be
the threat of the farmer to the weed
crop.
The great difficulty is that a great
many give up the fight with the weeds
altogether too soon. The first attacks
arc fierce and spirited enough, but they
soon grow Indifferent and abandoned
them altogether Now, the fact is that
weeds are of a great many different va
rieties, which seem to be designed to
terminate at different seasons. one spe-
cies following on the heels Of aAother,
occupying the ground as soon as their
predecessors have rlpened their seeds.
The result Is that wedding, vigorous at
first, but soon abandoned, leaves the
way open and uRobstructed for the
later varieties to flourish unhampered,
and so they are never conquered or re-
duced. but their reign is more firmly
established from year to year.
Then, again, many who WELD the hoe
vigorously are altogether too careless
In their dealing with the weeds outside
of the cultivated fields. allowing them
to flourish unrestrained about the ma
nuTe heap all summer and scatter their
seed broadcast upon it, to be advan-
tageously planted when it is drawn out
and strewn upon the fields in the
spring.

In the spring Of 1906 the national
Congress passed an act which became
law January 1, 1907, permitting the
withdrawal from bond, tax free, do
nestle alcohol when 1t was denatured
or rendered unfit for human consump-
ton by the addition of certain mate
rials repugnant to the taste and smell.
The passage Of this law has aroused
much speculation into the possibilities
Of this new fuel. The experiment sta
ton compared gasoline and alcohol
with four objects In view, viz. ~ the
heat value Of the fuels; (2) their econ

their economy In the production of pow

line and alcohol for general use. The
conclusion reached in these expert
