RESIDENCE IS
 WRECKED WHEN
 BOILER EXPLODES

Huntsville, February 14-(Special) )-The boiler of steam-heating apparatus in the home of Mrs. Mary c. Struve on Green street exploded last night and went up through every floor of the building and out of the roof. Leo Johnson and D. c. Monroe sons-in-law of Mrs. Struve. were severely injured They had just entered the basement with the in- tention of learning what had cut off the heat when the explosion occurred and they were thrown to the floor by the concussion. Mir. Johnson's face was bad ]y disdgured and his eyes scorched. His injuries are dangerous. MT. Monroe was badly bruised about the legs and cut by flying splinters of steel.
 The rooms through which the boiler passed were wrecked, The floors were torn up, furniture wrecked and win on the first floor took fire. The damage from this cause, however. was not se- rious, owing to the prompt work of Fire ChieI Stegall and his men. Both rooms were bedrooms and were not occupied at the time of the accident. The Mon roe chnuren had just left their bedroom on the first floor.
 The explosion was heard for many blocks around and a great crowd soon gathered at the house. The amount of wreck and ruin was remarkable and al though there were 15 or more people in the house. all sons-in-law, daughters and grandchildren of Mrs. Struve, Johnson and Monroe were the only persons hurt The occupants of the Struve home are Mrs. Struve. her son. William F. Struve, Mir. and Mrs. D. C. Monroe and children, MT and Mrs. Leo Johnson. MT. and Mrs. John Hay and children and MT. and Mrs. Louis Mayes.
 A frozen water pipe that fed the boiler is believed to have caused the trouble.

MALLORY MANAGER IS GETTING READY
 FOR THE BATTLE

Montgomery, February A.-(Special)-J. g. Ellis, campaign manager for Col. II. $. D. Mallory, candidate for governor, to- night opened headquarters in the Bell building, this city, and will divide his time between here and Birmingham. He says preparation is being made for an &C., tive and aggressive fight. He was accom- panied to the city by Hugh Mallory, son of the colonel, who will return to Selma in the morning.
 MT. Ellis states that he is getting most enthusiastic responses from leading anti amendment men in every section of the state pledging support to Mallory. He looks to the election of his man, based on the claim that the antis propose to live up to the resolutions of the Montgomery con- ference, in which they declared they did not propose to champion any one for of flee, nor were they in politics. He be- lieved that the people are going to see to the carrying out of this resolution.
 It is stated that the Mallory state cam paign committee will not be announced before the end of the week.

CURED BY CUTICURA
 ON SISTERS ADVICE

Several years ago I had little pim- pie come between my ankle and knee. l opened it with pin which caused it to inflame. In short time my limb was 80 poisoned and swollen 1 could scarcely use it. I suffered intense pain, being unable to rest day or night. I tried every remedy recommended, con- suited several specialists but grew worse oil the time, finding no relief in anything.
 My sister recommended Ne Cuti- cura Remedies. I began using the Cuti- cura. Remedies according to directions and I was SO much relieved that slept some the first night. The itching, burn ing and swelling in my limb gradually decreased and the sore began to heal: After six months suffering such as had endured, the relief was wonderful. I continued the treatment several weeks and permanent recovery was the result. ] shall ever recommend the Cuticura Remedies to any enc suffering from blood and skin diseases. Mrs. D. M. May, R.

Buckwheat for Poultry.

Buckwheat is both stimulating and

being of fattening nature. should be

the percentage of digestible matter is
not so great, buckwheat having about

HARM DONE BY OVERLAPPING
One Common Fault Of Practically All
Amateur Fruit Growers-Rs.
quirements Of Soils.

The one common fault OF practical
ly all amateur fruit growers is the ov-
explaining of their land. The fertil-
ity of the soil, annual rainfall or irri-
cation, and variety, materially govern
the distance apart which plants should
be set. On rich, moist soils, where
heavy growth Is certainty, or the
dryer soils where the conservation
Of the moisture must be practiced.
the upright growers" (plants which
produce erect canes) should not be
planned closer than six feet apart each
way in the hill system: or three feet
by eight in the continuous row sys-
TEN. In irrigated sections where
moisture can be supplied at will. the
plants may be planted closer. How
ever, 1t Is not advisable to plant them
more closely, since what may be
gained by an additional number Of
crates is frequently lost by the de-
terioration in the grade Of the fruit.
On similar soils the "viny growers"
(plants such as the Logan, Phenom-
email, Evergreen, Himalaya Giant and
Early Mammoth. which produce long
PROSTATE vines or canes), should be
planted in rows eight feet apart, and
the plants from 16 to "a feet apart in
the rows, using the alternate system,
thereby affording greater feeding
area for the roots of each plant

UTILITY OF FALL IRRIGATION
Watering Of Ground In Winter Often
Produces ons.tiaif to Three.
Fourths Of Ton Of Hay.

The value Of winter irrigation has
been set forth on many occasions
Many are 80 situated that they can
not do any winter irrigation because
the water Is turned OF from the canal
after the growing season and not
turned on again until irrigation Is to
begin In the spring.
Natures way Of breaking up and
disintegrating the solids In the soil Is
by freezing and thawing and our dry
soil does not freeze very much. Every
farmer knows how loose and easily
worked Is the soil after the ground
thaws out in the spring. and how often
they wish they could keep It that way
all summer. But Ii everybody doing
all possible to promote this condition?
Winter irrigation will help very mate
rally. The effect OF late fall irriga-
ton on alfalfa Ii very noticeable.
Ground irrigated In the winter often
produces one.half to three-fourths OF
ton more hay at the first cutting and
during the past summer the first cut
ting OF alfalfa from winter irrigated
land ran as high as three and one-half
tons the acre. The effect on all other
ground is quite noticeable In our dry
springs.
With long. dry winter and spring up
to the first Of May with but little
moisture one would suppose that there
would be no difference between the
ground irrigated and that not irrigat-
ed. but the crops on irrigated ground
come up much quicker and make at
least one.half more growth during the
summer. One reason perhaps Is be-
cause they get the start Of the weeds
and keep them choked down. Many
springs we have an abundance Of
moisture and every old range man
knows that the best grass follows a
soggy winter. Some farmers have
no water with which to irrigate in win
ter but those who have should use 1t
by all means. All the surplus reser-
voir water should be turned on to the
land In the fall and run the risk Of
entirely refilling during the winter.
Saving the moisture by tillage IL al
most as important in the growing Of
is for the dry farmer. The condition
Of the soil during the growing season
In regard to the amount OF water, its
freedom from clods. its mechanical
condition on most Of our soils have as
much to do In making the crop as the
fertility of the soil. OF course we
must have both to grow big crops
year after year. The soil must be
loosened to good depth to allow the
water from heavy rains to settle away
quickly and not stand on the top to
form a crust: to take in more water
when irrigated and SO make less in
number the irrigations with less
chance for the ground to bake.
