The ginseng garden Of W. W, Jones
in Benson is now in It's prime. The
beds are loaded with ginseng seeds
and he estimates that there are 20O,-
900 seeds in the ID or ~ beds he now
has under cultivation. The seeds are
at the top Of the plants, are in clus-
tiers of from 20 to 100 and are as red
as red can be, deep and brilliant in
color. While the Euopean war is
disturbing rather than promoting
factor tothe growing Of ginseng, Mr..
Jones has no doubt the root will bring
a compensating price the coming
year.
+. w. Cowles, a Burlington milk
man, narrowly escaped death Friday
when his clothing caught in the ma
chinery as he was oiling a windmill
on his premises. He was 80 feet in
the air when his overalls caught in
the cogs Of the windmill and were
drawn into the machinery. After a
frantic struggle, Mr.. Cowles succeeded
in tearing his clothing off enough to
gain his freedom, but not until he was
bruised and pinched. He was ex-
hausted from the terrible strain and
sank to the ground when released.

Burlington street last Thursday night
was uncalled for and its owner I'M

him unconscious, and from that time
until Saturday he was unable to get

Henry F. Field, president Of the
Rutland County National bank was
badly bruised Saturday afternoon,
when hack horse started just as Mr..
Field was leaving the vehicle in front
of the bank. One foot was on the
pavement and the other on the back
step when the horse started and the
banker was drawn under the rear

saved Mr.. Field from more serious
injuries, although he was badly
bruised.
Daniel May, a Wilmington truck
man, was badly injured one day last
week when kicked by horse which
he had purchased but few weeks
before. Mr.. May suffered compound
fracture of the left leg, just below the
thigh, the bone being badly splintered,
so that it protruded through the flesh.
1t was necessary to split the flesh
from the knee nearly to the thigh in
order to get at the bone and set it
properly and get out the splinters.
The operation took over three hours.
The horse had sore on one leg and
Mr.. May unthinkingly scraped it with
a currycomb, causing the animal to
kick.
