Payne, a member of the itate railroad commission, said when investigating a trolley accident recently, be was told of a motorman on a work car who was running at high speed when the trucks left the rails because of snow, and sleet, and the car was thrown to the side of the right of way, bringing up against a telephone pole. The motorman was not seriously hurt, but was cut and bruised about the head and face by flying gias. He was carried to a physicians olflee where his wounds were dressed and bandaged. When the physician had placed the IaBt pin, he asked the wounded man if he felt like he could walk. Sure, I can walk all right, returned the1, patient, but I wish you would fix those bandages so I can , see.' Why, man, returned the physician. I left one of your eyes uncovered for the purpose.

It began in my hair first with red blotches, then scaly, spreading to my face. The blotches were red on my face, dry and scaly, not large; on my scalp they were larger, some scabby. They came on my hands. The inside of my hands were all little lumps as though full of of an inch shot about under the skin. Then they went to the outside and between and all over my fingers. It also began on the bottoms of my feet and the calves of my legs, and itch, oh, my! I never had anything like It and hope I never will again. The itching was terrible. My hands got so I could scarcely work. "I tried different eczema ointments but without results. I also took medicine for it but it did no good. I saw tbe advertisement for a sample of Cutlcura Ointment and Soap and sent for one. They did me so much good I bought some more, using them as per directions, and in about three weeks I was well again. Cutlcura Soap and Ointment entirely cured me. (Signed) Beni.

During the winter we made a number of inquiries regarding the seeding of alfalfa on Irrigated land under our mmedlate conditions. There seems to be a general misunderstanding regarding the seeding of this crop; some of the eastern farm Journals for Instance have stated, It is a waste of seed to try to grow this crop on soil of a sandy nature. Another paper advised Its readers not to seed on heavy soil. A large number of farmers read eastern farm Journals and as a result ire often misled by such statements, says a writer in the Denver Ranch and Range. The above may be true, and no doubt is true, under these particular conditions, but it does not hold for our western states. The idea of seeding alfalfa very early in the spring is not J so general is It was several years ago; this it more especially true in the windy sections of the west. In (be spring when high winds prevail there is a tendency to either blow out the seed or whip off the young plants; also have we to contend with the drying winds that take the moisture from tbe surface of the soil very rapidly. Do not work the soil too deeply; shallow plowing, if the soil has to be plowed, is preferable. Get the soil in shape either the fore part of June or the last of July. Prepare a good but solid seed bed, have the soil good and moist before seeding, put the seed in with a drill at the rate of 15 pounds to the acre. Where the soil is inclined to blow, several methods have been practiced. One of these is to seed the alfalfa into the small grain stubble the end of July. This can be done very nicely after fall grain, as this comes off of the ground early in the season. Another good method is to seed rye about the first of July, and when this has reached the height of about three inches, drill in the alfalfa seed. After a thorough Inquiry, we found that in the larger percentage of cases better stands were secured on Jate seeding of alfalfa. Likewise have we found that the deep loose soli is not conducive to a good stand in tbe average seasons. We do not recommend the careless and shiftless preparation of the soil, but believe in a good tilth that has a solid, firm bed in which the alfalfa seed is placed. Not long ago we took part In a conversation in which several grain growers remarked that "This year we have to begin irrigation early and force the grain from, tbe start. JVe art that a number of farmers will make this mistake. Do not be afraid of the late season. The snow and moisture we have had has put the ground In pice shape and when once the grain is seeded, will make a rapid growth. Observation and experience have taught us that too much water is a detriment and will decrease the crop as much as a shortage of water will decrease it. During the season watch the soil and do not let the moisture get down too low at any time during the growing season, but If we can stay off the application of w'ater until the grain begins to shoot, then we are almost sure of a good big yield. Irrigating the grain too young has the same effect on it as too much rain would have - catarrh Is hot douches of Paxtine Antiseptic, at druggists, 25c a box or sent postpaid on receipt of price by The ip the eastern states.

On tbe receiving days, when the officers and men are ready to qjay hosts to tbe civilian population, there are scores of launches and pleasure craft plying between the fleet and tbe shore landings, carrying loads of excursionists, to whom a peep at the inside workings of these war engines is a great event Traditionally sailors and officers are courteous, and they seem very glad to conduct the visitors about and answer the unending questions. When there is to be target practice tbe great fleet steams slowly out of Provlncetown Harbor early In tbe day and steers across toward tbe Dennis shore, a. distance of about fifteen or twenty miles, and falls into line formation, preparatory to the days work. Meanwhile the targets at which tbe battleships are to 'aim are being arranged off shore, about five miles at sea. One of tbe reasons why the fleet gathers here in this way is because there is very little traffic of fishing vessels or steamers to interfere with tbe practice, and the watchers, scanning tbe seaward horison with their powerful glasses in search of such passing craft, seldom have to give warning. As Seen From Shore. The men behind the big guns on tbe ships, five miles away, have to live up to the navys traditional marksmanship if they are to hit the rolling canvas targets, no more than twenty-fiv-e feet square. This practice cannot be carried on in rough water, and it is tbe smooth water of Cape Cod Bay that brings the warships here for big gun practioe. The spectator on shore, who at North Dennis may be within perhaps two or three miles of the battleship.-firs- t sees a sharp burst of smoke issue from tbe ship. An instant later, before any report is beard, is seen the spray shooting high in the air where the shot bas struck the water far out in the bay. Then comes the roar of the gun, which rings lonf and loud for several seconds, reverberating like heavy thunder. In fact, when the heaviest guns are being used, the houses on the cape tremble and windows rattle for some time after the charge Is fired. A few years ago the big guns were fired frequently with heavy charges and windows along the bores at Dennis were often broken by the Jar. The heavy gun firing can be easily beard all over the cape and tbe Jaj felt In buildings as well.. related that an accidental discharge of a gun pointing shoreward once sent a shell In the df'tction of East Dennis It struck an empty bouse, which, naturally, was entirely demolished. In all the practice here and the squadron has assembled in the Massachusetts waters for several years no reports of any damage done by stray Allots beyond the targets have been beard, though there la considerable traffic on some days between Boston The excursion and Provlncetown. steamer Dorothy Bradford plys between these points twice dally, and would be in a direct line of fire. Tbe ships have made some remarkable records, for accurate shooting while at target practice at this rendezvous. Night Attacks. Another feature of the "war game In the bay is the night attacks, when the attacking fleet tries to get within firing distance of the defensive squadron. It is not very often, however, that the attacking fleet of destroyers succeeds In creeping Undiscovered within an "unsafe distance. Most of the work of this sort is done at night Then the powerful searchlights of the craft are in play, making a free spectacle for the people on shore. The great lights flash back and forth across the sky, and give tbe Cape Cod residents a thrilling imitation of what summer n Prov-Incetow- It-i- ' s they may some day see In grim reality. Just what the Intent of the manoeuvres may be and their result are not made public. They are kept secret for fear that foreign spies on shore might learn the signals, plans, methods of attack, etc., of tbe navy. (Accuracy In scoring is almost as Important as straight shooting, and after the targets have been hit they are towed ashore. Three or four hits nearly always put a target out of commission, but they scarcely ever sink, as they are built to remain afloat, so that reaults can be recorded. Shore leave for the crews during the visit of the fleet here allows tbe hours' or forty-eigmen twenty-fou- r liberty on shore in relays. Oftentimes the ships' bands are ashore at the same time, and give concerts at tbe town parks The Jackies take advantage of the fine diamond at Province-town- , and the navy ball games always Attract thousands of spectators, t A favorite stunt of Jack ashore In Provlncetown is climbing tbe Pilgrim Memorial monument. And more than that, they climb out at the summit and walk around the topmost ledge. Jumping from one stone to another. Jumping the stones at the top of the monument, nearly 300 feet from the ground is the great hazing test In the North Atlantic fleet. The North Atlantic fleet usually remains here about a month during July, after which it is up anchor and away for rougher waters. Many of the wives and families of the officers stay at the Cepe while the fleet is assembled in the bay. Liyydt f ilytrt Tobacco Co. at Durham, N. C., try it now.
