AIighted From Coach, Became
Confused BY the Light
OF the Machine.
Was Bumped Against Fender
And Knocked in Front of
The RunabOut.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Stepping off moving trolley cal
directly in front of w. r. CrandalP:
automobile which struck him an instant
later and inflicted serious injuries
William Liebrecht, street car conduc
tor living at $50 North Second street
experienced narrow escape from death
about $3.50 o'clock last evening at the
corner of Front and Elm streets.
The victim of the accident was pain
fully hurt, but today his physician an
nounced that he would recover
Mr.. Crandall, accompanied by vii
liam Schwender, was driving his Ford
runabout north on Front street follow
ing tne car on which Conductor Lie
brecht was riding. Mr.. Crandal says
the ear passed him in the middle OF
the block, which establishes the fact
that he was not riding in excess OF
the speed limit. As the car passed
the intersection of Elm street, Mr.
Liebrecht stepped off, being practiced
in getting off moving cars.
Liebrecht Was Confused
sAs he alighted ne found himself il
y flood of light from the automobile
which was then almost upon him. Ac.
cording to the statement of Mr.. Schwen-
der he stepped first to one side then
to the other in a confused manner
and an instant later the machine ran
into him.
The fender on the right side of the
runabout struck him and he fell across
the front of the machine, the lamps
and brackets catching him and infictine
the injuries he suffered. ts
He was picked up by Officer Edwards
who happened to be on the spot, and
: ia another rauteiaebile,- removed to
his home Before the other machine
drove up, Mr.. Crandall had procured
water to wash the unfortunate mans
injuries and done all i'm his power. Lie
bretch was unconscious for an hour and
a half but at the end of this time
his mind cleared perfectly. He told
how he stepped off the car and realized
that he was about to be run over when
ne found himself in the light of an
approaching automobile.
DrNJ. A. Hielscher, who has attend
ed every person hurt thus far in street
car accidents, cared for Mr.. Liebrecht.
No Bones Broken.
The doctors examination revealed nc
broken bones or internal injuries but
numerous severe bruises. Tt was evil
dent also that Conductor Liebrecht has
suffered severe shock to his nervous
system. The victim of the accident
rested easily today and showed signs
of speedy recovery, nevertheless, the
doctor believes ne will be laid up for
two weeks because of his experience
Liebrecht is one of the oldest con-
ductors on the line. His unfortunate
experience ought to be lesson to
those employed by the company to look
up and down the street before alight-
ing from a moving ear to see whether
an auto is near at hand.

sHEARlNe SHEEP BY HAND.
Two Methods of Doing the Work Arc
Popular with Shearers.

Two methods of hand shearing are
popular. One of these is known as
the long method and the other one as
the round method. Both have their
advantages and disadvantages.
When sheep are shorn by the long
method the shearer begins by remov-
Ing the wool from the head. He then
Spens the wool on the throat and
shears from the underline of the same
to the top of the neck This is con-
tinued until point is reached at or
near the shoulder blade. The posi-
ton of the sheep is then reversed, and
the wool is similarly removed from
the other side of the neck. A series
OF rings are thus made, extending
from the head to the shoulder blade
The sheep is then laid on it's side.
The wool is then shorn from shoulder
to buttccA on one side. The cuts are
made similar and parallel and of equal
width
The sheep is then turned over and
the wool is removed from the other
side. shearing from buttock to stern.
"A good shearer keeps the shears
gnaWing, as it were, through the wool.
rather than making distinct cuts each
time the shear handles are pressed
toSether.
When the sheep are shorn by the
round method the animal is placed on
its buttock, explains the Orange Judd
Farmer. The wool is first removed
from the brisket downward to the
fore flank. It is then shorn from
right to left clear across the belly. The
wool on the entire belly thus re-
moved hangs on the left side of the
fleece. The wool is then opened up on
the underside of the neck, and begin
ming at the ears the neck and body
are shorn by running the shears to
the ridge of the top line. The sheep
is then turned over and the right side
is shorn in the same way Each line
made by the shears should be at right
angles with the top line. Sheep thus
sllorn have zebra-like' appearance
that is very attractive. An expert
shearer will never cut the wool twice,
that is, he will not, even when shear
ing past the spinal column, point the
shears SO high that the wool will
have to be clipped again.

EXERCISE FOR BROOD SOW.
She Must Be Kept in Condition at
All Times of the Year.

The exercise of the brood SOW should
time. This should not be forgotten
till the SOW is just few weeks from
farrowing. She should be given a
good lot Of exercise all the time of
her life, that she may work large
part of her food into good, strong
muscle, rather than into fat. The SOW
that is kept closely penned will not
make muscle, but fat, and she will
transmit to her offspring weakened
constitution, which means largely
lack of muscle-making power.
The muscle-making power is large
part of the constitution of any ami
nal. The animal that has the power
to develop good muscle will make a
powerfully heart, which is one
great muscle. A powerful heart
to send the blood with great force
all through the body is a large factor
in the proper development of the
frame
Therefore give the brood SOW a
good lot Of exercise in the bright
sunlight, and in the pure air, in pas
ture where there is no dust flying in
the air. Some sows are given their ex-
ercise in dry lots where every foot
step sends the dust into the air Nat
uTally some Of this gets into the
lungs of the SOW, and this is not a
desirable receptacle for dust It must
be coughed off with mucus
The exercised SOW will be more pro-
life than any other, for she will have
the material out of which to make
progeny, because not only the mus
cles of the heart, but all the other
muscles of the body will be strength
ened.
