Wood Car Resists Collision

Some shadow of doubt was thrown upon the boasted invulnerability of the steel railway coach by recent accident north of Seattle. Wash, says the Popular Me chanics Magazine. An electric interurban car of steel and one of wood, met, head on, at high speed The front end of the steel car was utterly demolished, the crumpled metal injuring number of pas, vengers. The forward trucks were forced back to the center of the car. The wood car lost it's front vestibule but few of its occupants were hurt, and it resisted the shock so we'll that it was able to leave the scene on it's own power, while a der rick was needed to remove the steel coach.

pass judgment. No test could have
been more exacting.

one from the other.

The turIip requires a rich soil and
may be grown either as an early %
late crop. For an early crop, sow the
seeds in drills Il to is inches apart
as early in the spring as the condition
Of the soil will permit. A half-ouncs
of seed is sufficient for 100-foot row.
After the plants appear thin to about
8 inches apart. The roots viii b
ready for use before hot weather.
For late turnips, the seeds are use
ally sown broadcast on land from
which some early crop has been re-
moved. and for this reason the turnip
Is a good crop to grow for storage
for winter. They are quite hardy,
and the roots need not be gathered
until after the first frosts. They may
be stored In banks or pits or In the
outdoor cave or cellar. and keep best
when kept rather cool.
The turnip is good crop for inter
planting between rows Of late corn OF

The culture of the Irish potato IL
familiar to almost everyone who has
ever had a garden. In brief, the po-
tatoes should be planted as soon AZ
the ground can be worked In spring,
two weeks before the average date Of
the last killing frost being none too
early. The tubers should be cut so
that each piece contains from one to
two eyes, and the pieces planted in
rows from "a to 30 inches apart, ah@
from 10 to Is inches apart in the rows,
6pepding on the variety. Cultivation
should be frequent and thorough. II
is an excellent idea to work soil up
to the plants as they develop, so that
there will be plenty of SOL to cover
the potatoes as they form.
Early potatoes in the central and
southern sections Of the country will
mature In sufficient time for the gar
dener to grow crop Of sweet corn,
late cabbage or turnips on the same
ground. II is often possible to plant
the second crop between the potato
rows before the potatoes are dug.
Early potatoes may be used as soon as
large enough, an old rule being to be,
gin using them when they are as large
as hens egg The usual method IL
to dig them, as needed, leaving the
main part Of the crop to develop to
maturity.
In the central portion Of the United
States the late crop may be planted
from June Is to July 1, but in the
northern sections the main crop is
planted earlier than this, no attempt
being made to produce early and late
potatoes, as in many sections the
growing season Is TOO short for the
production of but one crop, Late
potatoes are allowed to grow until they
mature or until the frost kills the
vines. The cultivation of the late crop
is similar to that employed In the case
of the early crop.-U. s. Department
of Agriculture.

There are two types Of squash-the
bush varieties, which may be planted
B and 9 seeds to the hill in hills
or feet apart each way, and
the running varieties which require
considerable more room for their de-
velopment. Squash may properly be
grown in the garden, as three or four
hills viii produce all that is required
for the average family. They require
a rather rich soil. preferably one that
Is well mixed with rotted manure.
Squash for summer use should be
planted as soon as the ground is thor
oughly warmed up, which will be about
one month after the last killing frost
Such varieties as the Hubbard for fall
aud winter use may be planted at any
time during the spring after the
ground Is thoroughly warmed up, and
will grow the entire season. They
should be gathered In fall, as soon as
hard frosts occur. They may be kept
In a storage room In the basement, or
In any cool. dry place. II is neces.
cary to handle them carefully to avoid
brulslng, or rot is liable to occur

Onions can be produced on almost
any good garden soil, and constitute
one of the standard crops found In al
most every garden. The usual plan In
the home garden is to plant sets In
rows far enough apart to suit the meth
cd Of cultivation to be followed. The
sets need not be more than 2 or 8
inches apart in the rows.
Onion sets may be planted as soon
as the ground can be worked and be-
fore frosts are over. Some kinds may
be planted In the autumn. The potato
or multiplier onion can be planted from
sets In the autumn and will produce
excellent early green onions.
Onions may be grown from seed Ell.
Their by starting the seed in the hotbed
and transplantlng to the open ground
or by drilling in rows directly in the
garden. With good soil and proper
care it is possible to produce good
sized hubs from seed In single sea-
son.
Onions require frequent shallow cul-
tivabon, and il may be necessary to re-
sort to hand work in order to keep
the crop free from weeds.
If It IN desired 20 use the onions az
green or bunch onions they mag be
pulled at any time after they are large
enough, otherwise they should be al
lowed to grow until they reach natur-
ity. n the onions start to throw up
seed stalks these should be removed.

pense Of the bulbs.-U. s. Department
