VIBRATION FOR SAVING BUDS
Trembling Motion is Impaired to All
Limbs Of Tree, Starting Sap and
Affordlng Protection.

A recent invention relates to a new
system OF motor operated tree vibra-
tion for saving buds and blossoms
from frost The new system aims
to create in fruit trees a movement Of
the sap to the buds and blossoms that
tends to vitalize them enough to re-
sist the attacking blight of frost. This
movement Of the sap might be called
capillary action, and can be lik-
ened to the gentle exercising action
OF an electric vibrator instrument on
the human system, which stimulates
the flowing action OF blood through
the veins. especially at the point
where the vibrator is applied.
The system for imparting this VI
bratory action to buds and blossoms
has been worked out and patented by

The Scientific American in describ-

invention OF e. L. Adams OF Edgar

This device is operated automatical-
ly by the weight OF grain It receives.
II comprises a hollow vessel with an
inlet at one end and an outlet at the
other. and comprising means by which
grain can enter the vessel until It's

"CASCARETS' BEST

No headache, bad taste, sour stomach

1t is more necessary that you keep
your Bowels, Liver and Stomach

Handling Cabbage.

Cabbage which is to be stored
should be handled with care. When
thrown from the field into the wagon
box the heads are severely bruised,
and this is likely to cause decay aft
er storage. Some of the most careful
growers use crates, baskets or tubs
IN which the heads are carefully plac-
ed in the field and these are hauled
TO the storage house, where they are
emptied quickly and with ease. Too
much care cannot be exercised in the
harvesting of all crops which are in
tended for storage.

PAPE'S! BREAKS
A COLD AT ONCE
First Dose of Pape's Cold Compound
ends all grippe misery.

You can surely end Grippe and
break up the most severe cold either
IN head, chest, back, stomach or limbs,
by taking a dose of Pape's Cold Com
pound every two hours until three
consecutive doses are taken.
II promptly relieves the most mis-
cradle headache. dullness, head and
nose stuffed up, feverishness, sneez-
ing, sore throat, mucous catarrhal
discharges, running of the nose, sore
ness, stiffness and rheumatic twinges.
Take this wonderful Compound as
directed, without interference with
your usual duties and with the knowl-
edge that there is nothing else in the
world, which will cure your cold or
end Grippe misery as promptly ana
without any other assistance or bad
after-effects as a 25-cent package OF

stitute-contains no quinine-belongs

overcome by the use of an old stove,
one that is hardly ht for use in the
house for heating purposes.
Make hole that will accommodate
the size OF pipe you happen to have
near the floor Of the meat house; set
the stove Ave or six feet from the
house, that there may be used three
joints of pipe. This will permit the
smoke to cool sufficiently which will
give the meat a fine flavor.

three dollars for a stove than to run
a great risk in building a FIRE In the

Throughout the entire trip, the

ways that St Cloud, besides being
one of the best au-round cities in
the state, is the largest granite pro-
Queer in this part of the country.
There are twenty-seven granite con-
Germs in the city, which have a total
output of over $1,0OO,00o worth of
stone per year. But not for this
alone is st. Cloud and Stearns county
noted, for it has this year wrested
from southern Minnesota the banner
for butter production"

to part of the wreckage and scores
of willing hands pulled for all they
were worth to wrench the stubborn
beams loose. Shortly after five
o'clock, the last of the crushing
weight was removed and young
Skoog was freed.
Skoog's position must have been
very uncomfortable indeed When
removed from under the debris, he
was in a half standing position and
his legs badly twisted. Both limbs
were broken half way between the
knees and the body. Both were
fractured in about the same place,
the right one broken, a little higher
up than the other.
Among those who helped to lift
young Skoog from the most
uncomfortable bed upon which ne
ever reclined were DR.. A. G. Lied
loft, Dan T. Bowen, Chris Burmeister
and Frank Stobbin. When rescued
Skoog was in a partially standing
position. At least twenty or thirty
feet of debris had been resting above
him. He had been in this uncom-
Portable position about one hour and
fifty-five minutes.
Captain William Funk of the fire
department was one of the most
active workers during the rescuing
of young Skoog. He helped to lift the
young man to the stretcher when he
was finally dug out from under the
wreckage.
Mr. Skoog's wounds and bruises
were dressed last night, but the
fractured limbs were not reduced
until this morning. When talking
this morning he said that he did
not have much pain, and that he
was anxious to have his legs set so
he would be all right again. He ex-
hibited great pluck and bravery.
Showed Remarkable Nerve.
His nerve was certainly remark
able. 1t was not until he was picked
up that a groan escaped him. He
smiled and encouraged the men
while held down, but when he was
picked up and laid on the stretcher,
the pain became intense and he
groaned pitifully. He did not faint,
however, and was perfectly rational
and calm all the way to the hos
pital in the ambulance, and after
he was put to bed. This is the sec
ond hair breadth esacpe from death
which this young man has expert
enced in the past year. Last Octo-
Der while riding a motorcycle in a
race, going at breakneck speed
the machine left the race track at
the fair grounds and crashed through
the fence and down a fifteen foot
embankment. The machine was
badly damaged, but young Skoog es-
capped almost unhurt.
