Fear Of the Automobile.

Child training, especially when it
runs counter to the impulse of free
dom, is a difficult work. But one Of
the first things the child learns is
fear Of death. One mother makes a
careful practice Of reading to her two
small children every newspaper ac-
count Of the death OF child under an
automobile. She leaves out any hor-
rible details of the accident which
might injure the child's sensibilities,
but she impresses the event on the
child's mind by giving the name Of the
unfortunate victim, its age and as
nearly as possible The location Of the
accident.
Both mother and school teacher
may impress on the child mind the
dangers of the streets and cite daily
examples of the result of child care
lessness. It is one of the best means
by which the youngsters may be con-
vinced of the need for exercising eau
tion.
The killing of children under the
wheels of automobiles has started
with the coming of summer, and more
are likely to follow Keep the child
informed of the manner Of each acci-
dent.

FINE SOUTH AMERICAN FRUITS
in Argentina the Grape Has Been De-
VeIoped--chilean Apples Rank
With the Best.

In Argentina the grape is the fruit
which has attained the greatest COM
mercial importance, and the Mendoza
country seems to lead all other sec
tions. The net profit from vines in
good bearing condition is said to be
about $40 per acre. In 1910 the pro
duction of wines was 92,674,OO gal
Ions, valued at more than $25,000,00O.
Leaving Mendoza and passing over the
barren heights of the Andes at an alti-
tude Of more than 10000 feet the trav-
eler arrives in Chile. One seems to
have reached another California. There
are many similarities, and all of the
fruits grown in California are pro-
duced in Chile, probably in equal per
lection, but with far less care, and the
industry has not developed as in North
America. The grape industry is a
large one, and a good quality is pro
duced, most of which is consumed at
home. The apple grown in Chile is
said to rank with the finest in the
world.

DUCKS ACT AS THOUGH
They WERE SOUSED
PECULIAR ACTION OF BIRDS IN
GRANT COUNTY CAUSES
COMMENT

Santa Fe, Oct. 21.-A hurry call for
the New Mexico National Guard or for
a sheriff's posse to head off hunting
expedition Of 16 Indians came to Game
Warden Trinidad C. de Baca today
from Supervisor Goddard Of the ella
national forest. The telegram was
sent from Magdalena, socorro county,
and said:
Sixteen Indians with large pack
outfit reported in Corduroy canyon,
near Adobe ranch, in vicinity OF In
dian peak, 70 miles south of Magda-
lena in socorro county, slaughtering
game"
Warden Baca telegraphed Sheriff
Emil James at Socorro to send out a
posse to bring in the mighty hunters.
Something Ais the Ducks
Game Warden Baca also has a re-
port that the ducks on Las Animas
lake near Hachita, Grant county, are
soused or act as if they are intoxicat-
ed. Duck hunters declare that the
lake and country round about are COW
cred with wild ducks, mostly mallards
and canvasbacks who waddle around
in circles, tottering on land, unable
to reach the water, while those on the
water, no matter how much they flap
their wings, are unable to rise. Many
have already died and old timers say
that the action of the birds is unprece-
dented as far as they know but they
attribute it to poison weed, the seed
of which the ducks have been feeding
upon.

MIIk.Esd Danes Are Lazy.

The king Of Denmark rules over a
corpulent nation. Prof Lyde, who
holds the chair of economic geog-
raphy at University college, declares
that from one end of Denmark to
the other you would not find really
thin man.
"The rapid development Of dairy
farming in Denmark tends to make
men lazy. The private houses adjoin
the byres. which are kept at warm
and equable temperature and the peo-
pie are employed In warm buildings,
living chiefly on milk and cereals; the
men get so lazy that they will not
take the trouble to cut up their food.
This state Of things has produced a
nation of housewives. who excel all
others In varieties Of sandwiches,
which can be munched all day long" !"

WORKING A CIRCULAR FIELD
PIow That, Once Started, Will Do the
Work Without Anyone at
Steering Gear.

One of the latest innovations in
farming implements is a gasoline
driven vehicle that guides itself
around the field and needs no atten-
tion except to be started and stopped
at the right points.
This vehicle, which travels in con-
stantly narrowing circle, is so de-
signed that any Of the devices used
In row-crop farming, such as plows,
ridgers, cultivators or sprayers, may
be readily attached to it, but in order
to use the implement, 1t is necessary
to abandon the usual rectangular form
of field with straight rows and adopt
a circular field with circular rows
spiraling toward the center.
The method is not adapted to big
farms, but is intended for truck gar
dening and for farming on small
scale where the expense of employing
an operator for the machine would be
prohibitive.
At the center Of the field an iron
post is erected and strongly Suyeu' Al
the top of the post is drum, and
from this a slender steel wire runs
through a guide pulley and to the
/ steering lever Of the implement, which
may be anywhere from twenty feet to
several hundred feet away.
At each trip of the vehicle around
the field the wire winds once around
the drum, and this guides the imple-
ment the width of one furrow closer
to the center. This process is contin-
ued until the implement comes as
close to the center as the guy wires
will permit.
The drum is then released so that It
will revolve freely and the implement
is run out of the field under hand
steering, unwinding the wire as il
goes.
The implement has already been
used successfully in working circu'
lar field containing about seven acres
