Breaking Land Early.
(Tait Butler.)

In no case would we wait until
just before seeding to break the land
for fall-sowed crops. Our falls are
too dry and there Is danger of losing
so much moisture that there will not
be enough left to bring up the crop.
There Is also another reason for
breaking the land some time before
sowing fall crops: The land is apt
TO be dry and break up in clods so
h a a good seed-bed is nearly, If not
quite, impossible, or If obtained, will
require too much work. If the land
is fairly level, sc that washing Is not
troublesome, We would break the
land two or three months before
time to SOW the seed and harrow it
once or twice a month to keep tho top
soil pulveriZed. This will not only
aid in securing and holding moisture
for the fall seeding, but it will also
e N to break the clods and insure a
good seed-bed. If the soil is hard,
or has any considerable growth Of
weeds or other vegetable matter on
1t, VIC would disk it before blowing
and Immediately after. This will
prevent and also break clods, will
insure the vegetable matter being
turned under better and will settle
the soil so that it will take in and
mold moisture better. This early
breaking OF the land for fail crops
partakcs largely Of the nature Of the
old-time Summer-fallow. 1t would
be better to grow a crop Of lcgumes
on the land; that Is, more would be
added to the permanent fertility of
INC soil; but when lcgumc& arc not
grown, a better crop Of wheat or
oats will be obtained if the land is
broken early and cultivated several
times before sowing in the fall, be-
cause this cultivation will helm to set
free or make available more plant
foods and destroy weeds. in addition
to saving moisture and making n
better Sccd-bcd.

JOHNsON'S WIFE SUICIDES.
Stunned and Unhappy Because She
Was Wife Of ~ Negro.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-Being Stunned
and unhapp y because she had mar
ried a negro, the wife Of Jack John
son, the heavyweight champion
pugilist, shot herself last night and
died this morning. She was 81 years
of & and the daughter of Mrs. Da-
vid Terry, of Brooklyn. When she
married Johnson she was the, d.
vorced wife of Clarence Duryea, well
known New York turfman.
During the trip to Las Vegas, New
Mexico, where Johnson fought Jim
Flynn, the blacks wife told friends
she was very unhappy, as her former
friends avoided her because she was
welded to a negro.
Soon after Johnson left his home
last night she called her two maids,
and placing an arm around each, ask
ed that they kneel in prayer. After
she had prayed for some time she
sent the maids into different rooms.
Hardly had they closed the doors be-
hind them when they heard a shot.
and rushing in found the woman on
tho floor.
The woman's act was attributed by
her husband to a nervous attack, II
OF a series from which she had suf-
fered for two years. She is also said
to have sho wn symptoms Of tubercu-
losis. She was to have left for Las
Vegas, n. NJ, last night, but decided

Bullets Failed to Stop Elopcrs.

Bristol, Tenn, Sept. 11.-Arthur
Hagy, twenty-five, and Miss Myrtle
Moore, aged 16, were married at
Johnson City, Tenn, to-day, follow
ing a sensational elopement. & Mon
day night young Hagy drove to the
girls home In an automobile, eX-
pecting to steal her out, but she had
been locked up, and the father, who
was in hiding, opened fire on Hagy
as he crept under the girls window.
Hagy fled and in so doing re-
turned the fire.
To-day young Hagy sent an auto
mobile party to Liberty Hall school,
n they succeeded in getting the
girl into the cal. The alarm was
given and an officer at Abingdon, Va,
undertook to stop Hagy's automobile,
but was unable to do so until he had
shot through one Of the tires. Hagy
arrived on the scene about this time
and began firing. The girl had been
transferred to another vehicle some
miles back, and upon learning this
Hagy left the officer in charge of
the car he had halted and which he
supposed contained the missing girl.
The ruse vas complete. The couple
made their escape and were married
at johnson City.

Cut peas for hay when the pods
