CHICAGO EGG EATERS
LOOK FOR EXPLOSION
Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Chica-
goan who sat down to breakfast
of boiled eggs during the strike OF
the egg Gamblers was a daring man.
There was no assurance that the
eggs would not explode with age.
All sorts of chances were taken
that an egg might prove a bomb.
The 400 egg Gamblers, who select
the eggs of Chicago, struck for
higher wages.
The Gamblers are so expert that
they handle about 100000 eggs a
day. They pass the eggs between
their eyes and the light with in
credible rapidity.

has resulted in the practice, which is

N plement so generally useful

tho preparation OF the land for such
small grain crops as wheat and oats.
While this Is unquestionably true, IL
Is strange fact that only a small
proportion OF Southern farmers are
supplied with harrows. For firming
and compac,ing the soil. Just what is
needed for the wheat and oat crops.
the smoothing harrow Ii indispens-
able. Fortunately these harrows are
not high-priced. and cover ground SO
rapidly that they afford one of the
cheapest and most economical meth
ODDS OF cultivating the soil. Any fall
planted crop In this territory is apt
to meet with weather and soil con-
iluons which fail TO supply the mecca
Aary moisture for a growing crop;
therefore. TO firm and compact the
soil and preven, the formation of a
crus, on top. thereby bringing about
tha beat conditions for absorbing and
retaining moisture. must be the
prime object OF all preparation for
seeding. For this purpose. whether
Tho land be- broken or not. the disk
harrow. the smoothing harrow and
tho roller are the best implements.
Tho roller is not In general use In
our territory. but is n very valua BILE
implement, for compacting the soil.
The smooth top surface which the
roller leaves favors the evaporation
OF moisture. and hence IL III always a
good practice to follow the roller
with the smoothing harrow or the
wceder.

crops may sometimes be made after

question of doubt. Plant food In

we can give our wheat and oats Is
before they are planted. let us by all

New York, April Sire. particu-

broke out in a southbound express
train and caused three hundred panic
stricken passengers to fight desperate
ly for escape from the burning train.
Fortunately the accident occurred at
a point in the Bronx where for a
short distance the subway tracks run
on an elevated structure, so that the
fumes were not confined as they
would have been in the tunnel.
AS it was, however. three of the
cars were filled almost to the point of
suffocation by q dense smoke which
followed an explosion in the motor
box. Despite the assurances of the
guards and a few calm passengers,
women screamed and rushed for the
rear cars. With a high wind tanning
the flames the two front cars were
soon ablaze. The motorman applied
the air brakes and brought the train
to sudden stop between stations.
When the guards finally threw open
the doors, men, women and children
streamed out on the structure, almost
regardless of the dangerous third rail,
and made their way for three city
blocks to the Jackson street station,
where they gained the street.
