cAvEIN KILLS MAN
 IN MINE AT BISBEE

Bisbee, Ariz., Feb. 24.-James Ref buffo, miner employed at the Gard ner shaft of the Copper Queen, was killed almost instantly in a cavein. Reibuffo, with two companions, was working in the shaft at the 760 foot level, loading an ore car. Without warning, the sides of the drift began to cave in. His companions called to him, but Reibuffo was unable to get past the ore car, which blocked the drift. He was covered with loose rock and probably died from suffocation.

HIRED MAN KNEW THE GAME.
His Dexterlty on First Base Surprised
the Youngsters Until They Learned
More Of His Career.

In the American Magazine Hugh s.
Fullerton writes an article entitled
"The Making Of Big Lacquer. 1t is
the story Of one Of the greatest ball
players in the United States as told
by himself to Mr.. Fullerton. This
player was a country boy and, Of
course. began to play the game early.
He tells the following story about an
incident Of his boyhood:
Father had hired man named
Ned, tall, l,.quiet fellow with pair OF
blue eyes that seemed always about
to laugh, but seldom did. He had been
with US year. He got drunk perl
odically, and after each spree father
hunted him up and brought him back
TO work. We asked him to play with
us, and he laughed and said he reck.
oned he would try to play first base II
paw would let him of. fixed it with
father, and Ned played first barehand-
ed. making catches and stops that
filled US with astonishment. Also he
made five home runs, two into the
railroad pond and three into the barn
lot back Of left field. Walking home
that evening he told me he had played
ball professionally. yet it was not until
two years later that learned he once
had been a famous outfielder with
great team"

SELECTING AND
PREPARING SOILS
Good Supply Of 0ecomposable
Organic Matter Helps Bacter.
iaI Action Of Plant.

Many people make the fatal mis-.
take OF expecting alfalfa to do well
on soils that are not fit properly to
produce any kind OF crop, says Bul.
letin &c OF the Purdue university Qn.
DIANA station. There Is just as much
need OF care in selecting and preparing
soils for alfalfa as for any other crop
and probably more, because OF It's
deep roofing habits and large plant
food requirements.
Deep, loamy soils with open sub.
soils are undoubtedly best for alfalfa.
but there Is plenty OF evidence to
show that It may be successfully pro.
duced on almost any type OF soil,
from light sandy or gravelly loans
and peats or mucks to heavy clays,
provided that 1t Is well drained,
sweet. and properly supplied with
organic matter and available plant
food. In 3is trials conducted by the
Purdue station In recent years in co.
operation with farmers throughout
Indiana. 6S out OF SO clays. l67 out
OF lSs loans. and 60 out OF II sandy
soils gave satisfactory results.
Many soils that at present are not
flt for alfalfa culture may be made
so by providing drainage facilities,
correcting acidity. adding organic
matter. or supplying needed plant
food. according to the requirements.
Good drainage Is essential In order
that the roots may go deep into the
soil Hardpan must be broken up or
avoided altogether. Soils that are
sour may be made sweet by thorough
drainage and the application OF lime.
p. A good supply Of decomposable or.
ganic matter In the soil helps the
bacterial action In making plant
food available. facilitates the inocu
lating process. and together with q
good drainage prevents heaving In
the spring. For soils that are out OF
condition In this respect, n good way
to supply organic matter II sufficient
manure is not available Is to raise
and plow undsr crop OF cowpeat
or some green manuring crop before
attempting TO grow alfalfa
Peat and muck soils may be used
for alfalfa II they nre well drained
and properly supplied with mineral
plant Tood. Potash is nearly always
lacking In these soils and often phos
phoric acid and lime must also be
supplied. Soils that ars subject u
flooding are not good for alfalfa.

that the farmer who wants to raise
light harness horses will choose a
trotting bred sire. and dam In whose
veins flows a generous infusion Of
their trotting or thoroughbred (run.
ming blood. This line OF breeding
should bring desired results In the
way OF colts which will later on de.
velop into road horses Of high
type.
There are some families OF trotters
remarkable for their beauty OF ap-
pearance and symmetry OF form indi.

teams are OF the standard trotting

OF thoroughbreds that combine beau.

erable speed at the trot.
The writer well remembers race

doing his work. under the saddle
would trot mile in 3.05 and he was

that are practically thoroughbred. So

the standard. This pair will perform
well in single and double harness.

from 5000 to $500. may be little
more. could be asked and re.
ceiyed.
The writer feels assured that the
above figures are not eXtravagant In
the least. as the demand for high
type OF light harness horse Is very
good, but horses of this class must
come up to the requirements Of the
trade.

Each year the poulterer better un.
derslands the care OF poultry, knows
their wants and has discovered how to
keep them comfortable. The comfort
able hens are the ones that do the
laying.
About thirty years ago when poultry
farming was young, as business. a
cry arose that II would not be long
before there would be such a surplus
OF stock that prices would go tumbling,
but Notwithstanding that there are
ten successful plants today to every
one thirty years ago and the demand
not half reached!
With the Increase OF supply came
the increase OF demand and today We
are no nearer meeting the demand
than We ever were
However. there is n change in the
market which must not be lost sight
OF. Almost anything in the poultry
line sells. but the choicest prices are
alone given to the fancy goods"
The word fancy" implies more
than appearance. II means also quail.
ity, Poultry and egg buyers are be.
coming particular, but they are willing

IL brown eggs they will not take
white, and II they prefer the white
the brown ones offer no temptation.
The market today demands choice.
plump, fresh stock. Have you got It?
Il so, the market is waiting for you.
We have today quite number OF
breeds. and all. to certain extent, are
practical. But they will not, any one
Of them, Ill all the purposes. therefore,
It Is necessary for man TO select only
such breeds as will best serve his
customers
or the entire list OF breeds none
will meet the demands OF Americans
so satisfactorily as do the American
varieties and In this class the most
popular are the Wyandottes. the Ply.
mouth Rocks, with the Rhode Island
Reds closely following. Also our
American stains OF Light Brahmas
and Leghorns.
The Brahmas belong to the Asiatic
class as breed, but the Light Brahma
as bred by our people is so different
from that bred in England that one
would hardly suppose them to be OF
the same family This is also true OF
the Leghorns, which belong TO the
Mediterranean class.
