HOW TO REPLACE TIMOTHY
Will Grow Better If Drilled Than If
SoWn Broadcast.

If mixture of timothy and clover
was sown in the grain this spring,
and it failed to grow or was partly
killed after it had started, the stand
can be improved by sowing timothy
after the grain is removed from the
field. To obtain the best result, the
shocks should be removed as soon as
they are dry, and the timothy should
be sown at once so that the little
plants can become firmly started be.
fore winter comes. At this time OF the
year, timothy will grow better if
drilled in than if sown broadcast The
drill places the seed down In the moist
soil and covers it. The drill should
be run as shallow as possible. If
there is no grass seeding attachment
on the drill, the timothy seed may he
mixed with ground grain, ground corn,
or dry sawdust to regulate the amount
sown on each acre. Glover has not
generally grown very well when sown

The three weeds most dreaded in
Minnesota are the Canada thistle,
Quack grass, and perennial SOW this
tie. Quack sTass. although quite gen.
orally distributed over ali parts of the
state, is the most common in the
southern part. Canada thistle and
perennial SOW thistle are most COM
monty found in the northwestern part
Of the state. All three of these weeds
are perennials, spreading rapidly by
their underground root and stem sys-

thistle and quack grass were de-
scribed. This article viii briefly de-
scribe the perennial SOW thistle and
compare it with other sow thistlas
which are often mistaken for it.
In Minnesota there are two annual
SOW thistles which are quite common,
especially in the southern part of the
state. One of the main differences
between the annual and the perennial
SOW thistle is that only the perennial
thistle has the running underground

made. One should contain the large
uniform berries and the other should
contain the berries that remain If
the berries cannot be picked at the
stage suggested it is preferable to
wait until they are fully ripe In the
first instance the berries are suited
for sauce, pies and canning; in the
latter instance they are desirable for
preserves and jam.

apples are marketable now and will
soon be followed by other sumioer
and fall varieties. 1t is not advisable
to market such produce at great eE-
pense or labor. 1t will pay. however.
to expend reasonable amount Of
labor in grading the apples. At least
two grades ought to be made. The
first grade ought to comprise the
large, well formed apples and the sec
cnd grade ought to consist of the
smaller and inferior ones.
When the green apples" as they
are called, are shipped, the Slated
top bushel baskets are preferable
They cost about IA cents each. Stat
ted bushel boxes also are used, the
cost for these being about II Gems.
Barrels holding two and one-h1is
bushels will cost about 35 cents eac.l.
When the apples are packed in boxes
and baskets but little care is ne 2es-
sary. When the apples are packed in
barrels, however, two layers of fruit
should be placed at the bottom, with
the stem ends all carefully poiItin 2
out. Specimens of equally good grade
should then be poured in until the
barrel is full The barrel should be
shaken down. and the top should be
rounded OFF nicely.
The barrel press should then be
placed in position and the upper hoop
should be removed and permitted ID
lie loosely about the top. A corruGat-
ed straw board, cut to fit. should then
be placed over the apples under tie
kaad. The press should then re
screwed slowly down. When the head,
which has been carefully guided. has
slipped into place the hoop should be
rehtted and fastened by ra..i1 8
through it and the stave ends into

removed, the barrel should be turned

moved at the end of the shipment. the
nicely faced fruit is exposed to the
prospective customer.

Details of the accident at Newport
Wednesday by which Carl Barr, the
12-year-old son Of T. M. Barr, was Sc
rlously injured by the cavlng on him
of bank of sand, have been OBJ
tained from Mrs. East, wife of S. s.
East Of the Salem Bank and Trust Co.
who returned from the seaside last
evening, Several boys were playing
in the sand bank near the DR.. Min
thorn Sanitarium, but most of them
had left, leaving Carl, his brother and
one or two others, digging tunnels
through the bank Competition be-
tw cen the lads ~as pretty strong,
when without any warning, the bank
which had been weakened by the tun-
nels, fell completely burying Carl and
almost burying his S-year-old brother,
Henry. The younger brother was able
to extricate himself from the sand
and Immediately began to dig for his
more unfortunate brother The other
boys ran to give the alarm, but within
three minutes and before other aid
had arrived, Henry, the younger boy,
had completely uncovered his brother.
The alarm brought plenty of assist
ance and the injured lad was found
to be unconscious. 1t was about an
hour before he was resuscitated. But
for the quick work and cool head of
the younger brother, the boy would
certainly have perished, as 1t would
have required at least ten minutes for
assistance to have reached the scene
of the accident.
The lads back was injured by the
falling sand, which had formed into
sort of cake, but upon inquiry of ply
siclans 1t is learned that little or no
fear is felt for the effects of the sand
OH his llngs, which in all probability
ceased to act upon the first shock
caused by the falling bank. There
we're no bones broken, as the sand
closed around his body very much as
water would.
Henry Barr. the S-year-old lad who
made the rescue, certainly deserves
great praise for the manly way In
which he saved his brothers. life. The
fact that he was buried to his neck in
the same caye-in gives that much
mere credit for his presence of mind
and manly act Of rescue.
The news was quickly spread
around the beach resort and great
CONSERVATION was prevalent because
about a year ago child lost its life
IN the vicinity where this accident oc-
Cured, and from the sand caving on
him.
1T will require few days for the ex-
act nature Of the injuries To become
known, but the best information avail
eble at this time indicates that the
lad will recover, as he is sturdy and
vigorous and the mother Of the little
fellow feels that the worst is past.
For the present the family will remain
at the beach.

under which name the Southern Pa
ciflc electric enterprise in Oregon will
be designated.
Grading for this piece of track must
be completed October 1, according to
the terms OF the contract. TraclSlay-
ing and overhead construction will be
completed 30 days later, which will
make possible the operation Of cars
over this line into Eugene by Novem-
Der /. This haste is due to the fact
that the oregon Electric, the rival Hill
road, is pushing It's rails from Albany
to Eugene, and probably will begin its
service into Eugene before the begin
ming Of the new year.
Grinding Costs 100000.
The line that Flagg & Standifer will
build, will involve very little heavy
work. The cost of construction for
the 25 miles will approximate but
100000, which is the lowest figure
work has been done In Oregon In re-
cent years. The route leads through
level country, which will necessitate
but few cuts and but few fills. An
aggregate OF $500 feet of trestle viii
be built. One Howe truss bridge, 80
feet in length, will be constructed. The
total amount Of earth that will be
moved aggregates 25O,OOO cubic yards
A special tralnload OF equipment
and supplies is being loaded at Spo-
kane, and will be rushed through to
Eugene, so that active work can be
started at once. Flagg & standifer
have just completed the construction
OF a heavy piece of work, involving
the change Of line for the 0.-W. II. &
N. Company between the Snake river
and Spokane, and will bring most Of
the material used in that project to
Portland. About 600 men will be en-
ployed on the job. They Will be re-
cruited in Portland Labor here, as
said to be extremely scarce, even at
better than average wages.
