E. R. FARLEY, LOGGER HOVE INTO VIEW TODAY Continued from first page with the drive. Anyone building a fire under a mule invites total destruction to all the features of the landscape. Anyway, by the time you can get near enough to a mule to build a fire under it the mule will be soold that the neces- sity for the fire will have disap peared. “And yet we talk about horse sense. “Mule sense is what swells the balance sheet. The man with horse sense may understand what is wanted of him, but the man witb mule sense under- stands what he wants—and gets it, or kicks, “A swift kick in the right place is of more avail than 200 faithful acts. Here’s to the mule!” May Re-build Hotel. [From Tenstrike Tribune.] Mr. J. O. Harris informs the Tribune that he may in the near future re-build the Hotel Rich- ards, recently destroyed by fire, and that a first-class hotel may yet occupy the spot which is now adorned by a smoldering pile of ruins. Mr. Harris says that he has received some great encour- agement from the Fitger Brew- ing Co., of Duluth, who bhave made him a flattering proposi- tion to stand the expense of any kind of a hotel he desires to erect. ? ROTATION OF CROPS ADVOCATED AS DESIRABLE A. ). McGuire, Superintendent of the Northeast Experiment Farm,Gives Good Advice. When the same crop is grown on the same ground year after year there is always bad results. For example: When wheat is grown continuously on the same field it becomes subject to dis- eases such as rust, and to various kinds of insects. This is due to the fact that these diseases and insects multiply each succeeding year until in such numbers as to destroy the crops. Weeds infest fields where grain is grown con- tinuously, for the same reason. Then there is another resson why the same crop should not be grown continuously on the same field. Wheat, for example, takes a large amount of nitrogen from the soil and the soil soon becomes deficient in this kind of plant food. Bad results not only follow the continuous growing of grain crops on the same field, but also of cultivated crops that are grown successively. Cultivated crops draw heavily on the humus, A sandy soil will become more sandy when only cultivated crops are grown. There are three classes of field crops, namely: Grain crops, cultivated crops and grass crops. Crop rotation is the alternating of these different classes of crops, following grain with clever, ora grass mixture for hay, and the hay crop with some cultivated crop as fodder corn or potatoes. The advantages from rotation are many. A grass crop adds humus to the soil and when clover is grown this plant adds nitrogen to the soil which is the most valuable form of soil fertil- ity. A cultivated crop cleans the land of weeds and puts itina better mechanical condition for a grain crop. Whether the farm is large or small a rotation is necessary and it is necessary whether the soil is sand or clay. The fault of the sandy soil is that it is deficient in humus.;With 8 grass crop every third or fourth year and manured, a sandy soil will become a better soil each year, as in this way the bumus is increased, Humus is decaying vegetable matter in the soil. It is valuable in holding moisture, in making the soil more porous so that the air can circulate through it, and in the process of decay it warms the soil and converts the raw forms of plant food inthe soil into available [forms so that plants can use them. A heavy clay soil is deficient in humas as in sandy soil, which causes it to bake and remain cold and sour so that crop rotation is important and necessiary what- ever the soil may be. The best loam seil will become run out in time if the cropping is such that no humas is added. Crop rotation then is a very important subject for every far- mer to consider, and at once if the soil is sandy, for a sandy soil that is once run out is hard: to get back in condition. A. J. McGUIRE. CrOP ROTATIONS. There are various systems of crop rotations planned to meet with the requirements of the farm and the kind of soil, etc- In planning a rotation it is ne- cessary to consider the amount of feed needed, both roughage and grain, the extent of pasture or the necessity of pasturing the cultivated land, and the crops that can be sold from the farm to the best advantage, The cultivated land on the Ex- periment Farm is divided into ten series of fields, six of which are devoted to practical rotation of field crops. The other four are used for experimental work on a small scale, the testing of different varieties, different wethods of cultivation, ete.,and work with fruits, vegetables,etc. The rotation of crops on the larger fields 1s planned |from the standpoint of wheat is considered the most profitable system of farming for this section of the state. Everythiag that is grown with the exception of potatoes is fed on the farm and soid in the form of butter, meat, eggs, etc. It is considered necessary to manure the soil at least once in every four years, and to do this enough stock must be kept to consume everything that is grown 1n hay, fodder and grain. It must not be inferred that the soil of this section of the state is lacking in fertility - from the statement that it should be man- ured every fourth year. This system is advocated for the rea- son that it takes time and money to clear land add every acre cleared should be kept up to its highest state of productiveness. The rotation on the Experi- ment Farm is as follows: Series I. Four fields, 4 acres per field, soil sandy with sand sub-soil. Four years rotation. Crops: Wheat, clover, fodder, corn, potatoes, following one another in order given. The soil is manured lightly for fodder corn and the following year for potatoes. Two crops of clover is cut, the first when it is about 4 in blossoms, the second about the middle of September. The wheat is used for poultry, the first crop clover and fodder corn for dairy cows, the second crop clover for hogs, poultry and young stock, the potatoes are sold. Series II. F ur fields, 4 acres per field; soil, sandy loam, clay subsoil. Four year rotation. Barley, oats, clover and tim- othy, fodder corn. is used for hogs, oats for horses, first crop clover and timothy and fodder corn for dairy cows, sec- ond crop clover pastured with sheep in fall and again in spring before plowing for fodder corn, Ground manured lightly for fod- der corn. Series III. Two fields,9 acres each. Soil, clay loam with clay subsoil. Four year rotation. Oats two years, timothy and clover two years. Oats and first crop hay used for horses, second crop hay pastured with dairy cows first year and plowed under second year. First crop used for hay second year. Series IV. Two fields, 6 acres each. Soil,sandy loam with sandy sub.soil. Four year rotation. Oats, clover and timothy pas- tured with dairy cows two years, fodder corn. Oats and fodder corn for dairy cows. (Oats as grain,) Series V. Three fields, two acres each; soil, sandy loam, clay subsoil. Three year rotation: Oats, clover and timothy, fodder corn. Oats for horses, hay and fodder corn for dairy cows. Fields 2 and 8 manured for fod- der corn. Field 1 not manured to determine what results may be obtained from clover alone as a fertilizer. Second crop clover on field 1 plowed under. Series VI. Four fields, two acres each. Soil sandy loam with sandy subsoil. Four year rotation. Barley, clover, roots, (Stock carrots), peas. The bar- ley and peas are used for hogs, The barley’ the first crop clover cut early for bay, the second crop cut for seed. Roots used for all the animals on the farm. In this series of rotation are many things to be worked out, most particularly the results of such a system of farming on sandy soil. As was stated in the beginning it 1s based upon prac- tical farming and if successful it is & demonstration that has proof in itself. Various other systems of rota- tion are conducted on a small scale, 32 tenth acre plots being used for this purpose. Under the system of crop rota- tion outlined in the foregoing the following named crops will be grown on the Experiment Farm each year: Wheat, 4 acres; oats, 19 acres; barley, 6 acres; peas, 2 acres; hay, 20 acres; fodder corn, 14 acres; roots, 2 acres; potatoes, 4 acres; tame pasture, 6 acres for season, and 13 acres for two months (second crop cloyer.) (The uncleared land of the farm, 200 acres, is used for pasture.) Three acres not mentioned in the regular farm rotfation is used for hog pasture, growing clover, and rape. There are 79 acres in the farm rotation. With the crops pro- duced on this, along with the wooded pasture, the farm is planned to carry 40 dairy cows, 20 head of youug stock, 6 horses, 30 pigs, 50 sheep and 200 chick- ens. Oaly potatoes will be sold in the form of a field crop, and the proceeds used for mill feed, bran, shorts, etc., so the fertility sold from the farm will be kept at the minimum. --A. J. McGuire. Jail Prisoners on Strike. Alton, Ill, May 2—REight stalwart prisoners of the city jail, who, in de- fault of police court fines imposed for various offenses, are required to sweep the streets, were put on a diet of bread and water because they went on strike and declared they would not work. James Locke, a fat man who boasted that he had not worked in twenty-four years, acted as leader. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. John Cudahy, the well known pack- er, is critically ill at his home in Chi- cago. Colonel Charles P. Lane, editor of the Huntsville (Ala.) Evening Tribune, the only Republican daily in Alabama, dropped dead Wednesday. He was fifty years old. Carrol! B. Short, a prominent attor- ney of Center, Tex., was shot and in- stantly killed by Dr. Buck Paul. The shooting grew out of a feud of several months’ standing. One hundred drivers and helpers of ice wagons in Columbus, O., are on strike for shorter hours and more wages. The strike has tied up the ice business thoroughly.

WOMEN IN MAD PANIC Two Hundred Cut Off From Es- cape in Chicago Blaze. ABOUT FORTY ARE INJURED Jump From Second and Third Story Windows or Fall From Fire Escapes In Desperate Attempt to Get Out of Burning Building. Chicago, May 2.—About forty wo- men were injured in a fire which broke out in the building at 255 Wabash av- enue. The first floor was occupied by the Story & Clark Piano company and the three upper floors by the Lotus Lunch club, which is patronized exclu- sively by women. ‘When the flames were discovered fully 200 women, including the em- pleyes, were in the place and at the first cry of fire an immediate panic ensued. A number of women leaped from the windows of thg second and third stories to the street below. By far the greater number, however, rushed to the fire escape. This was filled in a few seconds with a strug- gling mass of women, making desper- ate efforts to climb down. A number of them lost their holds and fell to the street and others were pushed ofi. The proprietor of the lunchroom in- formed the police that several women failed to escape, but a thorough search of the building after the fire failed to disclose any bodies. Fire Runs Up Elevator Shaft. The flames, which started in the basement and ran up an elevator shaft with terrific speed, cut off egress for a number of women in the front part of the building and about two- thirds of these, despite the warnings of the spectators, leaped to the ground. The others, who remzined, were taken ecut by the firemen without being in- jured. It is not believed that any of the women will die from their injuries, although this cannot definitely be es- tablished until after reports have heen received from the hospitals to which they were taken. Miss Rose Willey and Miss Kate O’Rourke. who were in the lunchroom at the time the fire.was discovered, were internally injured. They in com- mon with others made a rush for the rear window, there being only one opening on the alley. Policeman Dan- iel Kerr put up a short ladder and, running up it, seized Miss O'Rourke and was carrying her down when sev- eral other women jumped from the window squarely upon him and Miss O'Rourke. All of them fell to the ground, Miss O’Rourke under them all * ABSOLUTELY EXHAUSTED. Entombed Men Taken From Mine at Foustwell, Pa. Johnstown, Pa., May 2.—Taken from the dark recesses of a coal mine where they had heen imprisoned for over 100 hours and snatched almost from the jaws of death the seven men taken from the Berwind-White mine No. 88 at Foustwell are lying in the Windber hospital physically exhausted and ob- livious to all around them. Immediately upon being brought out of the mine all the men wanted to go to their homes and were taken to the hospital under protest. No food was given them at first, but a stimulant in the form of brandy and water was ad- ministered to all. Soon after arriving at the hospital the men fell into sound sleep and no communication is allowed with them. The men are not disturbed except at regular intervals, when the nurses ad- minister hot broths and nourishment. Tmmediately after these treatments the men again drop to sleep, apparent- 1y absolutely exhausted. The hospital physicians say that the men will be able to be about in a few days, but they would be weak and un- able to Tesume their regular duties for a week or more. DIES FOLLOWING BANQUET Professor Hinton, Formerly of Minne- apolis, Expires Suddenly. ‘Washington, May 2.—Charles H. Hinton, formerly a professor of mathe- matics in"one of the collegiate institu tions of Minneapolis and for the past two years an examiner of the patent office, dropped dead in the lobby of the Young Men’s Christian association building as he was leaving the ban- quet hall where the Society of Philan- thropic Inquiry had held its annual dinner, at which Professor Hinton had responded to the toast “Female Phil- osophers.” Death was due to cerebral hemorrhage. He was bern in London sixty-three years ago and was a gradu- ate of Oxford and several other noted universities. Professor Hinton was the author of several books devoted to scientific research, the chief of which was the “Fourth Dimension.” Taft Still Silent on Politics. ‘Washington, May 2.—Secretary Taft was among the president’s earliest callers. He remained, however, but a short time and then returned to the war department. “Can you say any- thing about Ohio politics?” he was asked. “No,” he replied. “I have nothing to say.” Sensational Rise in Copper. New York, May 2.—A special dis- patch to the Evening Post from [Lon- don reports a sensational rise in the price of copper in that market. The metal opened at £108 per ton, an ad- vance of £4, and rose rapidly to over £114, a record price. SEVERAL SERICUSLY HURT American Sailors Attacked by Cuban Police. Havana, May 2.—No further partic- ulars have been received of the attack made by the police of Santiago on a party of enlisted men from the cruiser Tacoma. The dispatch received by Commander Wood of the Dixie from Commander Tappan of the Tacoma giving details of the affair was for- warded to Governor Magoon by Com- mander Wood with the request that the authorities of Santiago be direct- P RESCRIPTION TO CLEAN THE BLOOD Anyoune can easily mix the following prescription at home, which is said to be splendid because of its peculiarly beneficial action upon the Kidneys, which are made to properly filter and strain from the blood the impurities, acids and poisons. Get the ingredients from any good pharmacy and mix them by shaking well in a bottle: Fluid Extract Dan- delion, one half ounce; Com- pound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa- rilla, three ounces. Take in teaspoonful doses aftcr each meal and at bed- time. Drink plenty of good water too. Those whose viens are filled with sour acids and Rheumatie poison, who re- quire a good blood clearser and system tonic, or if the Kidneys are weak and clogged up, should prepare this mixture'and take as di- rected for a few days and note results. ed to assist Commander Tappan in every way in obtaining the facts in the case. Governor Magoon thereupon telegraphed to the governor of San- tiago instructing him to extend all the assistance possible to Commander Tap- pan. Commander Wood is the senior officer in Cuban waters. The men wounded by the Santiago police are Henry Lee, fireman, who sustained a fractured skull and a gun- shot wound in the lung; C. J. Pember, electrician, wounded in the left arm: L. B. Austin, compound fracture of the arm. The condition of Lee is serious. Ensign A. T. Brisbin, who was in civil- fan clothes, and six seamen were slightly injured. The attack was made on the Taco- ma’s men while they were on their way to the wharf at 2 o’clock in the morning to embark in a launch for transportation to the cruiser. Later reports received at the gov- ernor’s palace indicate that the fight between police and sailors at San- tiago was merely one of several brawls in which the sailors are alleged to have been the aggressors. The gov- ernor of Santiago has telegraphed to Governor Magoon that two such fights have occurred and the municipal au- thorities have been directed to pre- vent further breaches of the peace. WOULD TAX HEIRESSES. Paul Morton Objects to American Money Going Abroad. Philadelphia, May 2.—Paul Morton, formerly secretary of the navy, after his attendance at (he banquet of Equitable Life Inswance -company agents =2t the Bellevue-Stratford, talked on various subj and among them that of those spend Amer- ican money abroad and of heiresses who take their money abroad and marry nobleien. “On this matter of the immense ex- portation of money from America to Europe Ly means of heiresses, ete.,” said Mr. Morton, “I have often be- lieved that some kind of a tax should be put upon it. “Pariiculerly have I for a long time thought that a tax of some kind should De placed on the incomes which Aiuerican women carry to Eu- rope after their marriages to foreign noblemen. Those good for nothing fel- lows marry American girls solely for their money and some taxation scheme should be worked out to save at least a portion of this outgo. Besides, we want to keep young American heir- esses in this country.” ALL RELEASED ON BAIL. Officers of Policyholders’ Committee Accused of Forgery. New York, May 2.—When George B. Serugham, manager of the internation- al policyholders’ committee, and Charles F. Carrington and Charles Stirrup, assistant managers of the same organization, arrested on charges of forgery in connection with the re- cent election of directors of the New York Life Insurance company, were arraigned before the police magistrate their cases were continued until next Monday. Scrugham and Stirrup were released on $2,500 bail and Carrington on $3,000 bail. Before he was arraigned in court Scrugham issued a statement in which he declared that facts of an entirely legal nature have been misconstrued so as to make appear that an attempt was made to circumvent the laws gov- erning the insurance election and to procure the counting by fraud of hal- lots not properly executed. INSANITY ‘HiS DEFENSE. Banker Stole $100,000 While Laboring Under Delusion. Birmingham, Ala., May 2.--The sec- ond trial of Alex R. Chisholm, former paying telier of the First National bank of Birmingham, charged with having embezzled $100,000 of the bank’s funds, which, it is alleged, he lost in cotton speculation, began in the federal couii during the day. Chis- holm entered a piea of not guilty, his attorney explaining that the plea of the defense w insanity. The defend- ant, he said, did not deny that he took the ‘moeney, but that he took it while laboring under a delusion - that he counld coiner the cotton market of the world. Electrocuted by Live Wire. Denver, May 2—W. F. Connell, aged twenty-eight, of Greeley, Colo., a stu- dent in Denver uriversity, became en- tangled in a live wire while trying to hang an effigy of the freshman class on a telegraph pole and was electro- cuted. MAY DAY THOUBLES No Serious Disturbancés in the Industrial World. SOME SMALL STRIKES OCCUR Bovernment Officials Endeavoring to Prevent Threatened Tieup of Steam- ship Lines Engaged in Coastwise Traffic on the Atlantic. New York, May 2.—May day found the workingmen in comparatively few of the trades in this city ready to as- sert any demands for increased wages and in consequence strikes were few. Chief interest centered in the possi- bility of a strike of the first, second and third officers of the coastwise steamers, who have made demands for increased wages. Up to date seven of the seventeen lines of steamers having terminals in this city had ac- cepted the new schedule. Represen- tatives of the department of commerce and labor at Washington have been sent to this city to try to avoid the threatened trouble. The journeymen painters have been on strike for a few weeks and are still out. in Paterson, N. J., 1,000 journeymen carpenters went on a strike for an increase in wages. The building operations in that city are at a standstill. Thirteen hundred car- penters in Newark, N. J,, also struck to enforce a demand for an increase in wages. All of these men were em- Jloyed by members of the Masters’ association. The demands of the men were granted by independent employ- ers and 900 carpenters remained at work. DECISION IS POSTPONED. San Francisco Street Car Men Delay Action on Strike. San Francisco, May 2.—About 1,300 members of the Carmen’s union met at the Central theater at 1:35 a. m. to vote upon the question as to whether there should be industrial peace or industrial strife in this city. The refusal of the management of the United Railways in this city lo concede the demands of the men for $3 for a day of eight hours was dis- cussed at length and also a proposi- tion to substitute the scale of wages adopted by the Oakland lines, which it was thought by some might be fa- vored by the men. It was finally decided to leave the settlement of the question to the ex- ecutive committee and Father P. C. Yorke, who represented the men on the recent arbitration committee. This commitiee is to report to the men at a mass meeting which will be held on next Saturday night. This leaves the question of a strike open until that date, after the report of the committee has been received. MINOR LABCR TROUBLES. Unusually Quiet May Day Throughout New England. Boston, May 2.—An unusually quiet May day throughout New England, with the exception of this city, was experienced in labor circles. Minor troubles in the building trades in some of the cities and towns were the most discordant notes outside the Greater Boston district, where 1,500 men went out for higher wages, while the team- sters’ strilie, which started a month ago, is still in force with almost daily scenes of disorder. The majority of the new men who ‘went out were boilermakers, number- ing 1,200. They ask for a 10 per cent increase in pay. The cement and as- phait workers to the number of 210 quit work pending the result of de- liberations by their employers regard- ing a new wage adjustment. In the building trades and other industries an amicable adjustment of existing differences was expected. One Thousand Men Involved. Denver, May 2.—Union millmen and ‘woodworkers employed in the planing mills and lumber yards of this city are on strike to enforce their demands for a closed shop. One thousand men are iuvolved. No shops were com- pelled to close, as the nonunion men continued at work. strike in the building trades may fol- low. St. Paul Plasterers Out. St. Paul, May 2.—Union plasterers of this city are on strike. About eighty men quit work. They demand a raise in wages from $4.50 to $5 per day. The demand was refused. Several of the plastering contractors have stated that the claim is exorbitant and will oot be met. At this time they have not very many contracts on hand. Telephone Operators May Strike. San Francisco, May 2.—San Fran- cisco will have a big telephone strike unless the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph company accedes.to de- mands adopted at a meeting of the Operators’ union. These demands in- clude a flat rate for all operators after they have served an apprenticeship. Three Hundred Carpenters Out. Youngstown, O., May 2.—Three hun- dred carpenters went on strike here after the contractors had refused to sign the scale for an increase of 25 cents per day in wages. Other con- tractors, employing an equal number of men, have acceded to the demands of their men. Made Fire Escape of Sheets. Minneapolis, May 2.—E. Armstrong, his wife and tAvo sons escaped from their burning home at 4 a. m. by slid- ing down a rope of bedclothes from a second story window. Mr. Arm- strong was awakened by the odor of smoke and found the stairway ablaze. He tied several sheets together, low- ered his wife and children to safety and then slid down the rope himself.
