Glenn English Shot In Leg When Old
Muzzle Loading Gun Which He
Was Fixing Exploded
THREE LADS IN ACCIDENT
Owen Carter Showed Preenoe of Mind
Which Saved Injured Boy From
Quick Death,

At about o'clock Saturday after
noon, Glen English, 13 years old, son
of John English the contractor, was
shot in the leg, just above the knee,
with charge of shot from the barrel
death resulting about two hours at
ter the accident.
1t appears that Glen together with
two other boys, Owen Carter also 13
years of age and Archie Williams 20
years old, were in the wood shed of
the Carter home on Beltrami avenue,
and had discovered an old muzzle
loading shot gun together with sever
al cartridges.
They loaded the gun once and fired
one cartridge which went off to their
satisfaction, they then attempted to
reload the gun but could not get the
cartridge into the barrel, they then
began to hammer the cartridge to
get it out when a loud explosion
took place, the shot going through
the barrel and striking little Glen in
the leg Just above the knee.
Young Williams who had received
a slight. injury On the right hand
when the gun went off, did not wait
to see how bad the little English boy
was hurt but ran for his home to
have the injured hand bandaged, but
Owen Carter, took his handkerchief
from his pocket, tied it around the
leg above the wound and with the
use of a can opener twisted the hand
kerchief until the flow of blood had
been stopped.
He then ran to the. house, his
mother being away, telephoned to a
doctor and the relatives of the in
iured boy, telling them of the acct
dent.
DR.. Shannon after short ex-
animation found that the only
method in which to save the life of
the boy would be to take him to the
hospital. This was done but by the
time the hospital was reached it was
to late to save the life of the little
fellow which was fast ebbing away,
death coming at 4 o'clock.
It was probably the presence. of
mind of the Carter boy who is a
grandson of Mrs. English that saved
Glen from a quicker death.
The accident which caused the
death of the little English lad is one
of the most sad that has ever oc-
CURED in this city.
The funeral was held this after
noon from the Baptist church,
Reverend Robinson Mckee, officiat-
ing.

The silo's first cost Is large, but II

No part OF the dairy work Is more
important than the cleaning of milk

DO not think that because the hens
have free range no grit need be sup

Visi, the henhouse often. SO the
hens will feel acquainted and not be
afraid Of you.
Select early plenty OF seed corn.
SO that further and more rigid selec.
t4on may be made next spring.
The very best OF food without a
plentiful supply OF pure. fresh water
will fail to induce the hens to lay.

cattle. and haven't n silo. II will pay
you to look into the subject Of silos
pretty carefully.
Every one who has ever had expert.
ence with poultry knows that clean.

flock Is to prove profitable.
The mixer should be clean. Before
milking and before putting on his
milking suit he must wash his hands
with warm water. soap and a nail
brush.
MIX pals should be Of smooth
metal like heavy tin: galvanized iron
or any rough metal should not be
used. as germs collect much more
easily and they are more difficult to
clean.

THOROUGH H0EING OF SOILS
Cultivation Throughout Season In
creaces Materially Yield Of Grain
and Water Required,

Another mastery and convincing
argument for thorough cultivation
of the soil has been published by Prof.
J. A. Widtsoe OF the Utah experiment
station.
In long series OF experiments, In
telligently made. Professor Widtsoe
found that thorough hoeing or culti-
walton throughout the season increased
materially the yield Of grain, and in.
creased the amount OF water required
per pound Of dry matter produced,
and that In infertile soils the water
requirements OF crops could be ma
terially lowered by the addition OF
manure or commercial fertilizers.
He believes that in every case the
result Is to be attributed largely to
the plant food set free by the hoeing
or following. or that added In the fer
tilizers. There are many farmers who
are not In position to irrigate their
land at once. but there are few who
cannot cultivate their soil little bet
ter than they have been doing. No
doubt there are localities where irriga-
ton Is not feasible. and then again
there are thousands Of tenant farmers
or men OF limited means who cannot
take advantage OF the principle OF ir-
rigation. 1t Is fortunate that nearly
all such farmers are at least able to
till and fertilize their land.
The practical conclusion Is, that In
districts where the rainfall IL the chief
consideration. 1t is not sufficient to
store an abundance OF water In the
soil. but the soils themselves must
be kept in such condition that plants
growing on them can produce dry mat.
ter with the smallest possible amount
OF water. Under a system OF dry
farm rotation in which hoed crop is
perhaps grown every year. in alterna.
tion with wheat, a fairly large amount
OF available plant food will be main
tained. but at the same time the
:mount OF stored moisture will be so
near the danger limit rs to jeopardize
seriously the maturing crop. On tho
other hand. where the soil after being
fall plowed and left In the rough
throughout the winter Is allowed to lie
fallow the following summer much
larger amount Of plant food Is set free
and mt the same time a larger amount
of water Is stored In the soil.
