To Name 1t Forsyth" Glacier.

An excellent suggestion in comment
Grafton of splendid work of rescue.
brought TO public notice by John II.
Williams and others of Tacoma. is
that one OF the glaciers of Mt. St.
Helens be named Forsyth glacier.
The rescue was that of a lumberman,
crippled in the midst of the tangle of
the upper mountain. who was carried
across the mountain and To safety by
a little party of Mazamas that hap
pened to be camping there. 1t is a
thrilling story of five years ago which
loses nothing in the setting given it
by the author of THE Mountain That
Was God" As he tells it. in sub
stance, the occasion was the Mazaba
camping trip in 1905. Into the group
about the fire at Spirit Lake camp one
evening there staggered a WORKOUT
man who unfolded tale of misfor-
tune. He said that with two COM
panions that morning, he had crossed
the mountain top and was descending
when a rock dislodged from the rim
of the crater far above struck and
broke the leg of one of the men. His
companions, tying the broken limb to
the sound one, managed to get the in
jured man down to timber line, and
leaving there one companion to guard
him, the messenger had made his way
through the mountain wildernesses a
dozen miles to the camp.
IT was Forsyth who instantly or
ganized a relief party which included
six Mazamas and a guide. Without
the encouragement and experience of
Forsyth and his knowledge of the
mountain, the rescue could probably
not have been accomplished. With
only Il little food for the wounded
man and some hasty preparations, the
rescue party started out into the
night. fighting it's way through thick
cts and across deep ravines, wading
lev torrents and climbing rough lava
ridges Just before daybreak there
was sighted a great fire on a distant
cliff, which proved To be a signal

Instead. they found the suffering man
and his companion, learned of the

fire.

The Hoist on the Farm.

Not long since the editor of the Kan
sas Farmer was on a farm where the
hoist, or common block and tackle. was
made to serve numerous purposes as a
labor saving device and on which farm
the hoist was employed TO a greater
extent than the editor had ever before
seen. This farmer used the hoist in
removing header barges, hay racks II
the common wagon box as 1t was nee
essary to exchange the same. He also
used the hoist IN butchering and In INT
ing sick or injured animals. The use
of the hoist was apparent in all parts
of the large farm for lifting and stor-
ing away farm implements as he was
through with them. The hoist used
was one OF the safety kind, which cost
81 each and upward, and he did not
have more than three or four on the
place, but moved them around as oc-
casion required. 1t seemed that he did
almost everything with a hoist, and he
said that its use paid.

TOWN TRIED NOVEL METHOD
TO STIMULATE LOCAL TRADE
E~ntsrprisins Merchants Organized
Auction Sales and Competition
to Interest Purchasers.

A small western New York town de-
cided to see IL something could be
lone to develop more local interest In
trade. A number of the merchants
formed a business mems association to
advertise the town and help the COM
munity. says the New England Home
stead.
The men agreed that the thing to do
was to arrange some method for
bringing the people to town. 1t was
decided. therefore, to try holding a
free auction each month. Any farmer
could send in anything he desired to
sell and the business men would adj
vertise ii. catalogue it, pay for an auc-
tioneer to sell it and turn over the pro
ceeds without any expense to the
farmer.
At this time the different merchants
arranged special prices on certain lines
of goods-thus: Seven cakes of soap
for % cents or nineteen pounds of sug'
ar for 81. One enterprising jeweler on
the first public auction day sold 500
solid silver thimbles at II cents each.
The public auctions kept the farmers
busy-horses, cows, tools and farm
products attracted several hundred
men. People who would not come to
town for any reason came on market
day. and those who did not come to
purchase came to discuss things and
see what was going on.
The first market day was a decided
success. The cost to the merchants
was made up by a levy of 81 each on
the members of the association. Ii
was later voted that they should con-
tribute 81 each month and try the sys-
tenn for a year. The second auction
was held under unfavorable climatic
conditions, but was extremely profit
able to the merchants, and some 5000
worth of farm stock was sold, nearly
double that sold at the first auction.
At the third auction it was decided
to add a new feature. Three weeks
before the event notice was tent to all
the county papers that a seed distri-
button bureau would be established by
the association. A committee outlined
the following plan: All farmers having
farm seeds for sale anywhere in the
kvicinity were invited to send samples
with the amounts they wished to sell
and the price. In the case of seed
corn they could bring ten ears or half
a peck shelled, half a peck Of oats or
beans and ten potatoes; also samples
of grass, clovers and alfalfa seeds.
First, second and third prize cards
were awarded in each class. The fact
| of placing samples in competition add
| ed interest.

TIME TO LAY MULCH
ON STRAWBERRY BED.
Covering Of Hay, Wheat, Oats or nye
Straw Should Be Used-Whsn
to Remove u.

The proper time for applying the
mulch TO your strawberry bed Is as
o as the ground freezes In the taii'
Wheat, oats or rye straw Is most ire
auently used. Drive on with a wagon
and spread the mulch evenly over the
whole patch. 1t should be three 10
five inches in thickness after 1t has
settled. The manure spreader has
been used for this purpose very sue
cessfully.
The chief object in mulching, says
ID. L. Lewis of the horticultural de-
partment of the Kansas Agricultural
college, is to retard the development Oh
the plant in the spring. A mulch
also retains the moisture and prevents
alternate freezing and thawing, which
causes the ground to heave. often
breaking the plant off at the crown.
The covering should not be removed
in the spring until after the plant
growth has begun. Care must be tax
en- not to leave the mulch on too long
or the plants will make a long, slen-
der growth and the leaves will turn
white.
When removing the mulch simply
take enough from the berry rows to
expose the plants, w~indrowing 1t up
between the rows. This is handy In
ease 1t is necessary to recover the
plants on account of a late frost. Ii
also forms a good mulch for retaining
the moisture, keeps the weeds from
growing, furnishes a clean place for
| the picker and holds the berries out
of the dirt.
The mulch between the rows Is not
| disturbed until after the berries are
picked. The tops of the plants should
| then be moved and the mulch spread
| thfnly and evenly owe the entire patch.
Set fire to this on a still day. The
object is to kill the fungous diseases
and insects and to get rid of the old
mulch, leaving the patch In first class
condition for new growth. The mulch
should be rather coarse and free from
| weed seed. \ fine mulch, such ms
| chaff. Is not desirable because of the
poor aeration 1t gives to the plant.

started off in opposite directions.
People who have n physical defect

the blunder and unconscious of hurt

either of them. A few weeks later
each received a note inviting him to

attention, with a decided reply to any
thing he might choose to say. When

to take a seat on the right of a por-
