 Leak In Ferryboat.
 One morning in January. when the Ice in the Hudson river ran unusually heavy, Hoboken ferryboat slowly crunched her way through the floating foes until the thickness Of the pack choked her paddles In midriver. It was an early morning trip. and the decks were crowded with laboring men and the driveways choked with teams. The women and children standing inside the cabins were a solid mass up to the swinging doors. While she was gath ering strength for further effort an ocean tug sheered to avoid her. veered point and crashed into her side. cut ting her below the water line in n great V shaped gash. A moment more and the disabled boat careened from the shock and fell over on her beam. helpless. Into the V shaped gash the water poured torrent It seemed but question of minutes before she would lunge headlong below the ice.
 Within 200 yards of both boats and free of the heavy Ice steamed the wrecking tug Reliance of the Of shore Wrecklng company. and on her deck forward stood Captain Scott When the ocean tug reversed her en- zines after the collision and backed clear of the shattered wbeelhouse of the ferryboat he sprang forward. stoop- ad ron hto alnusr thn far line, noted in flash every shattered plank, climbed into the piothouse of his own boat and before the astonish- ed pilot could catch his breath pushed the nose of the Reliance along the rail of the ferryboat and dropped upon the latter's deck like cat.
 With threat to throw overheard any man who stirred he dropped into the engine room. met the engineer half way up the ladder. compelled him to return. dragged the mattresses from the crews hunks. stripped off blankets and snatched up clothes, overalls. cot ton waste and rags of carpet. cram ming them into the great rent left by the tugs cutwater.
 It was useless. Little by little the water gained. bursting out first below, then on one side. only to be calked out again and only to rush in once more.
 Captain Scott stood moment as if undecided. ran his eye searchingly over the engine room. saw that for his needs it was empty, then deliberately tore down the top wall calking he had so carefully built up and before the en- gineer could protest forced his own body into the gap. with his arm outside level with the drifting ice.
 An hour later the disabled ferry boat. with every soul on board, was lowed into the Hoboken slip.
 When they lifted the captain from the wreck he was unconscious and barely alive. The water had frozen his blood. and the floating ice had torn the flesh from his protruding arm from shoulder to wrist When the color be- gan to creep back to his cheeks he opened his eyes and said to the doctor who was winding the bandages:
 ,'Wuz any of them babies hurt?
 A month passed before he regained his strength and another week before the arm had healed so that he could get his coat on. Then he went back to the Reliance.-Everybo body's Magazine.

In the gigantic task of bringing
about q change in our plans of farm
ing on account of the boil weevil, the
United States Department of Agri-

With the unlimited means at its
command, great good can be done.
During the past three years a num-

been located in Mississippi and have
labored in conjunction with the far
mers TO bring about this change. The
results have been highly satisfac-
