WRIGHT AGAIN
SAILS The AIR
MACHINE INJURED AFTER sue
cEseFuL FLIGHT ON FRENCH
TESTING GROUNDS.
FLIES NINE MINUTES
ACCIDENT lNTERFEREs WITH
eALDWIN's FIRST SPEED
TEST At WARRINGTON.

Lemans. France.-The Wright aero
plane suffered an accident Thursday
morning which will require several
days and possibly . week to repair.
After two superb flights. Wilbur
Wright essayed a new and daring
method of descent. He stopped the
motor at a height Of seventy-five feet
and tried to come to earth on a gradual
descending glide. The calculations
were not absolutely correct and the
contact with the ground. This tore
the frame OF the machine. Mr.. Wright
was not injured.
Mr. Wright said he did not regard
the accident as serious. and explained
that these were only incidental exper-
iences devoted to acquiring complete
mastery OF the difficulties of aviation
and the execution OF new maneuvers.
Mr. Wright's first flight Thursday
morning eclipsed all his former efforts.
He made seven complete tours OF the
field over the tops OF the trees. Ac-
cording to the official time he was in
the air eight minutes and fifty-three
seconds. The aeroplanist encountered
fifteen-mile breeze. but In spite OF
this he displayed greater facility in
maneuvering than he did when there
was . dead calm.
Mr.. Wright's second flight, which
lasted two minutes. was a novel one.
The aeroplanist scared and descended
At will. executing bewildering turns.
Suddenly as approaching the grand
stand the machine lost It's speed and
began curving. slowly toward the
earth. All appeared to be well until
It was tilted to leeward and the deli
cate framework struck the ground
with the result that II was deranged
and torn.
Mr. Wright calmly stepped out and
examined the wreck. He was quickly
surrounded by anxious friends to
whom he explained that there had
been no accident in the air. but that he
had merely decided to try . new de-
scent. He shut off the motor at a
height OF seventy-five feet and endeav-
ored to float downward.
The real cause OF the accident was
the attempt to land exactly on the
spot Of his departure. In listing the
planes At the last moment in an at
tempt to continue the sliding. he pulled
the left plane too sharply.

airship was brought down In a corn
Held and after Mr.. Curtiss repaired the
motor the flight was continued. The
accident prevented any possibility Of
making the speed required by the con-
tract. but Captain Baldwin has two
more trials In which to demonstrate its
speed.

The Sioux Valley News. Gan

has the following to say about
temperance as political issue.
One difficulty with the question at
the ballot box is that few people
include ssfaith' along with their
religion aid morality: and they
think that the money. @(taxes) de-
rived from saloon licenses are a
necessary part of the governments
income. They have not yet got
to the point, that what is morally
wrong can never be politically
right, and they let the big dollar
of the brewers blind their faith in
the right and might of political
morality.
"Temperance and tine control of
predatory wealth are both moral
issues and should go hand in hand.
In fact the saloon is the chief
stronghold of political strength of
those who oppose public control
of corporations. Some of these
days a Roosevelt IN the White
House will turn the power of his
position against the saloon and
Americas mightiest reform will
be accomplished.
There is every prospect for the
passage of alocal option law in
Ohio by the present legislature.
That means that the saloon will be
driven out Of q very large portion
of the territory of that good state;
in fact from all of it except a few
of the larger citities. The pro-
hibition territory in Ohio is extern
sive enough to insure state wide
prohibition at an early day. The
most important thing for tenn
perance people to do now is to inn
press upon their representatives in
Congress that they demand they
support the Littlefeld- Nelson bill
regulating interstate commerce in
intoxicants. In half of the state
the temperance element is domin-
ant and can secure precisely the
sort of federal legislation they
unite upon. If the temperance
people of South Dakota were to
act as unit. what member of
congress or United States Senator
would dare to rcfuseto obey their
behests. 1t is simply up to the
temperance people to act. What
other issue even approximates it

MAKING CHICKS GROW FAST.
Ration That viii Give the Quickest
Returns.

The rational use of protein feeds
for growing chicks makes all the diff
ference between profit and loss, quick
or slow growth, stunted or vigorous
chicks. Rhode Island experiments
show that animal meal is the best
source of protein as regards gain,
growth and profit.
After a chick is a month or six
weeks old the source of protein food
is not so important Gluten meal or
granuated milk may be used with
good results if some bone meal is fed
also.
Beef scrap will continue to be large.
ly used by poultry keepers, because IL
is so easy TO handle. Unfortunately,
the test referred to made no trial
with beef scrap, but it is similar tc
animal meal and may be substituted
for it.
The greatest advantage in using
beef scrap is that it can be fed by it
self. We make a practice of keeping
it before the chicks at all times. Put
it in selffeeder, box or pan, set it in
dry place and let the chicks eat all
they want after getting them accus
toned to it, Chuck the wheat and
cracked corn into them and with beef
scrap, skim milk and grit they will
grow rapidly.

In my earlier days. when was as
much an enthusiastic horticulturist as
an apiarist. | conducted many expert
ments and made many observations.
found that during the blooming OF
fruit trees, should the weather be too
cool to permit bees flying, an imper-
feet crop was the result. Believing
that the cool days might be the cause
of the imperfect fruit, rather than the
absence of the bees, | investigated a
little further in the succeeding years,
when It was pleasant weather for the
bees TO visit the flowers, by covering
certain parts of blooming trees with
wire cloth or netting to exclude the
bees, yet to admit the free access OF
all pollen carried by the winds, and
in every instance the limbs and trees
thus covered produced either no fruit
or only few small and imperfect
specimens. After repeated expert
ments it is my candid opinion tnat
without bees our fruit crops would be
reduced fully 90 per cent
Not only is this true of the fruit
of the orchard but likewise with ber-
ries and certain vegetables, says the
Orange Judd Farmer. AS an example
let me cite the case of Senator Smink
of Rocky Ford, Col. who raises mel.
ons in fields miles in length. Years
ago he was afraid of even the hum Of
bee. His melons were then raised
in several separate fields o~e of
which was in reach of the bees of a
neighbor. with whom he had several
/ stormy arguments. saying the bees
/ carried away all the substance from
the blossom, and a crop failure would
be the result But to the surprise of
all, that particular field yielded over
! 200 per cent. more and far better
melons than any other field.
To-day he owns over 1900 colonies
] of bees, and during the trans-Missis-
sippi exposition he remarked that he
would keep those bees If he did not
get pound of honey, for no bees
means no melons.

SPAsMoDlc ENTHUSIASM.
II Never Will Win Success in the
Poultry Business.

In order to reach the highest de-
gree of success it is necessary for
those engaged in the poultry business
to use their best faculties. Not only
that, but all the energy and enthusi.
asm of ones nature should be enlisted
If this is done and continued in for
n proper length OF time It is astonish-
ing what may be accomplished. The
quality of stick-to-itiveness is very es-
sential and is the one point in which
80 many fail.
Very many stay in the poultry busi-
ness so long as things go their way,
and 1t is smooth sailing; but just as
soon as they run against obstacles
hey are ready to quit the business,
they have no luck, so to speak, but the
successful ones study way out of the
difficulties, and soon overcome the OBJ
stacles. Steady work is the kind that
counts. Any person who has the quail
ication of hanging on to thing as
long as he sees anyone else engaged
m the same business, says the Farmer,
and is endowed with good, sound judg-
ment, should be able to make good
living for himself and family with his
bare bands, and the person who has
several thousand dollars at his COM
mand to invest should certainly do
more than this. The poultry business
is not different from any other busi-
ness and the same amount of money
and brains put into it should bring
as satisfactory returns, but it cannot
be done in year or two. 1t takes
time and patience.
