Track Some Five Miles
Out of Davenport.
NO FATALITIES ACCOMPANY
Escape Of Passengers From Death or
Serious Injury Borders on
the Miraculous.

Two !. & /. interurban cars, travel
ing towards each other at a high rate
OF speed, met in head-on collision

One car left Davenport at o'clock
while the other left Clinton at 6 this
morning. Owing to a heavy fog, the
motormen were unable TO detect the
approach of the other cars and, in
fact, were unable to determine accu.
rately their own location. The cars

BIG CONSIGNMENT OF
THRESHERS PASSES BY

A special train of about so cars
loaded with Case threshing machines
passed through Rock Island this
morning at about 1880 enroute from
La Crosse, Wis, to Kansas City.
Considerable attention was attracted
to the train owing to the fact that
every machine was painted gray, and
at a distance the string of cars and
engines resembled a huge snake. The
machines are consigned for distribu-
ton in Oklahoma, for the most part.

in the lead with perfect record for
the month and Longfellow second. The
enrolment was 1851.
The superintendent also reported on
his trip to st. Louis to attend the meet

DEEP FLOWING IS REQUIRED
Turning Soil to Depth Of Seven to
Ten inches Is Fundamental
Operation In Dry Farming.

Flowing. or turning over Of the
soil to a depth Of from seven to ten
inches for every crop Is a fundamen-
tai operation Of dry farming. The
pillow therefore becomes one Of the
important implements on the
dry farm. Though tho pillow as an
agricultural implement Is Of great
antiquity. It Is only within the last
100 years that II has attained Its pres.
ant perfection. 1t Is a question even
today. In the minds OF a great many
students. whether the modern pillow
should not be replaced by some ma
chine even more suitable for the pro-
err turning and stirring of the soil.
The m%oldboard pillow rs everywhere
considered the most satisfactory pillow
for dry-farm purposes. A pillow with
a moldboard possessing u short alb
rupt curvature Is generally held to be
the most valuable for dry-farming
purposes. since II pulverises the soil
thoroughly. and In dry farming IT is
so important to turn the soil over as
10 crumble and loosen II thoroughly.
Naturally since the areas of dry farms
are very large. the sulky or riding
pillow is the only kind to be used. The
same may be said of all other dry
farm implements. As far as posi-
BILE. they should be OF the riding kind,
since In the end II means economy
from the resulting saving OF energy.

The proper depth Of the soil mulch
depends on many factors. The char
acter OF the soil. the frequency and
the amount Of rainfall, and the rate
OF evaporation are factors. We find
a mulch three or four inches deep
Is satisfactory than a very shall
low mulch. A mulch which will be
wet through by a very light rain re-
much more frequent tillage than
mulch which will be wet through
by a fairly heavy rain. A light
coming on a deep mulch will wet
only a small portion and will quickly
be eyaporated and pass away. This
has done no good. but also Las
done no damage. A similar rain com
int on a shallow mulch would evap-
and be lost. but before doing
II would have connected with the
below and would have made
ready means Of escape for all the
moisture In the soil. Under such con-
a mulch would have to be es-
.ablished again by tillage. Also the
iepth Of the mulch depends on the
purpose and the length of time one
the mulch to be effective. As
time approaches. the endeay-
DR. should be to have the mulch become
shallow, The seed should be
beneath the mulch In the
ground.

Turkey Hen on Nest.

almost as fast IL the lice will. Vege'
table oil is different from animal oils.
Never use kerosene.
Spread the wing and raise the short
feathers on the shoulder, directly
over the large quilts. II a young
turkey has lice, they will be found
there. Also around the tail or wher-
eve there are large feathers. One
application of the oil is usually suf-
ficient unless the lice are very num-
erous. Remember, lice are fatal to
turkey poults, SO they must be kept
free from them.
Never use oil or grease upon a
setting hen. II she has lice. use a
powder. OIL. upon the shell of an
egg renders It worthless for Matching.
One of the first things young tur-
keys need is sunshine. 1t is a waste
of time to offer them food before they
are 4S hours old. Turkeys need
fresh air both day and night. but
they must not be allowed to get damp.
The first feed Is usually hard boiled
eggs. crushed. mixed with dry bread
crumbled fine ana sprinkled with
clean coarse sand. Rice, properly
cooked. is good for young turkeys.
and pin-head oats, or coarse oat meal
Is also good. Corn Is too fattening
for growing turkeys and commercial
chick-feed Is too hard to digest. Whole
wheat is good after they are six weeks
old. but only feed a very little of it.
