Of May so One bet was that the same
car would go through the race on the

by the winner. while the third was on

RIB NOW PART OF SKULL

A wonderful case of bone grating
is reported from st. Louis, where
George Williams, Il patient, in the
City hospital, has had part OF one OF
his ribs grated on to his skull. VIII
i1ams met with an accident some time
ago, and in order to save his life a
portion Of the parietal bone at the
back of his skull was removed. The
pressure of the scalp on the unpro-
tected membrane beneath it caused
an irritation of the brain cells, and
Williams became subject to frequent
paroxysms. There have been many
casss of bone grating, but heretofore
these operations have been confined
to taking slice of bone from one
part of the skull and putting it on an
other. In Williams case this was
Impossible, so large a portion of the
skull had been removed. The visiting
surgeon suggested that a rib would
do. The patients sixth rib was re-
moved. A piece four inches long and
an inch wide was cut from the end of
the rib and carefully fitted into the
hole in the skull. The scalp was then
sewed up over it, Williams has not
had a paroxysm since the operation
was performed

WOMAN HYPN0TIZES MANIAC

HypnCtism enabled Mrs. Annie
Windhorst. who lives on a farm near
Ridgeway, Ill, to subdue a maniac
and land him in the Ridgeway jail
The maniac, supposed to be a fugi-
tive from some asylum, rushed into
her house while she was preparing
dinner, and said he had received in
structions from the Almighty to kill
her and her three young children. The
mailman seized the woman by the
throat and, forcing her against the
wall, told her to get down on her
knees and pray, adding that he in
tended to strangle her
Mrs. Windhorst, who far years has
been student of hypnotism, looked
the maniac in the eyes and diverted
his attention. Then she told him to
sit down in a chair near at hand. The
mailman obeyed and Mrs. Windhorst
stepped outside and called across a
field to neighbor, who called several
men, who in turn bound the maniac
and took him to Ridgeway.

ONE ASSOCIATION IS ENOUGH
Senator 5ankhead OF Alabama Advo-
Gates Consolidation of All Good
Roads Organizations.

There are in the United States five
national good roads organizations
maintaining five sets of officers and
nVe headquarters, and all of them are
working for the cause of good roads.
Ii these organizations were combined
IN one strong and influential body that
would be of vast influence and i'm.
portance and would secure the atten-
ton OF the United States congress and
secure almost any appropriation that
they might request for the building
of good roads.
AT the recent meeting of the fourth
National Good Roads congress in Biz
mlngham, Senator John H. Bankhead
Oh Alabama advocated and pushed the
consolidation of these organizations. A
strong resolution indorsing Senator
Bankhead's proposition was unani-
mously passed and the following COM
mlttee was appointed and authorized
to call a meeting in Washington next
December and try to get all of these
organizations together. The commit.
tee consists of:
Senator John H. Bankhead, Wash
lngton, chairman; J. A. Rountree,
Birmingham, Ala, secretary-treasurer;
Martin Dodge, Dodge Park, Md; Tom
l.. Cannon, ST. Louis; w. S. West, Val
dosta, Ga; DR.. f. H. Colcock, Column
bia, S. c.; Jene Whitson, CookeviIle,
Tenn
1t is believed that this committees
efforts will be crowned with success
and before another year has elapsed
that there will be one great national
good roads organization like the Ma.
tional Rivers and Harbors association,
which is all-powerful in securing gov.
eminent aid for the rivers of this
country

Of hay from wagon to barn, for IN
stance, is to have huge fork working
on a pulley above the door Of the
NOW. The tackle that draws the fork
up is attached to horse and when
the fork seiZes a bundle of hay the
horse is driven forward and the load
raised. When the hay is dropped the
horse is backed to lower the fork
Ordinarily this requires the services
of man or boy to lead the horse, but
in the automatic leader the animal is
hitched to an endless cable that moves
between two uprights and keeps him
always in a straight line. All that
need be done with any well-brought-
up horse is to shout "Giddy-ap!" and
Back" to him, as the case may be.

Alfalfa Cuttings Necessary.

A remarkable thing about alfalfa
is its perennial youth. When one
growth is removed, another one comes
on Immediately to take its place, and
so on continually as long as moisture
and temperature conditions are favor
able
But if tre first growth remains
while the second one starts, then, evi.
IDENTIFY, the second suffers, when the
first and second growths are devel-
oping at the same time. At any rate.
says a North Dakota substation re-
port, the alfalfa crop does not remain
thrifty unless it is cut at proper in
tervals. If the first cutting is made
too late, then the new shoots of the
second growth are cut off and the
plants are injured.

vised soon to exterminate or control
the insect, its ravages will extend over
the entire agricultural section west Of
the Tooth meridian.
1t is an imported pest, and supposed
to come from Asia. With the coming
of spring the beetles make their way
forth from their hiding places and at
tack the young growth Of alfalfa as
soon as there is sufficient food for
them. In ordinary seasons they may
be expected to appear the latter part
of March, and the egg-laying period
usually lasts from early April until
early July.
Some idea of the abundance of the
eggs may be obtained from the fact
that in one case a single plant has
! been found to contain 1898 pune
lures. AS one puncture may contain
anywhere from few to over 80 eggs,
probably ten or fifteen on the average.
this single plant presumably con-
tanned between 1900 and 1900 eggs a.

small enough to prevent the gravel

died TO a hydrant equipped with a
spray head. The water is turned on,
and as it filters through the stones, it
carries with it the dirt mingled with
them. By spading up the gravel dur
ing this washing process the water
gets a chance to permeate through
the entire load and purify it. The
gravel is then wheeled to the concrete
mixer and dumped in, with the assur-
ance that it is free of any matter that
will spoil the building material.

Corn for the silo should be planted
in hills at the rate of two pecks to the

The most economical summer and
