Indianapolis, June 8 .— If the balloon
Indiana has not been disqualified by
touching earth it h is broken the Amer
ican endurance record by staying in
the air more than 44 hours. Since the
balloon started in the national distance
race ot the Aero club o f America from
this city Saturday two reports have
been received from it.
One was that it had touched the
earth in Tennessee and had taken on
water and proceeded toward the south.
If this is true the balloon is disquali
fied under the rules o f the International
Aeronautical Federation.
A second
dispatch signed by the pilot, Carl
Fisher, and his aide, G. L. Bumbaugh,
has stated that they dropped down near
enough to earth to let down a lid and
draw up a bucket o f water. Under
theBe conditions she has not been dis
qualified.
It is not possible according to avail
able information, that the Indiana had
broken the distance record o f 852
miles, for it was traveling due south
and would come to the Gulf coast al
most 100 miles short o f the record es
tablished by the German balloon I’om-
mern in the international race nearly
two years ago for the James Gordon
Bennett trophy, which started from St.
Louis and landed at Asbury Park. N. J.
The last o f the six balloons entered
in the national distance race from
which a definite landing report has
been received is the St. Louis III,
which dropped at Kelso, Tenn., having
covered about 340 miles. A. B. Lam
bert was pilot and H. E. Honeywell the
aide. Other balloons landed are as
follow s:
New York, A. Holland Forbes, pilot;
landed at Corinth, Mass., covering 375
miles in 36 hours, 10 minutes.
University City, o f St. Louis, trav
eled 340 miles, landing at Blanche,
Tenn.; time, 25 hours, 24 minutes.
Hoosier, Captain Baldwin, pilot,
traveled 240 miles, landing at Green
Brier, Tenn.
Cleveland, landed at Columbus, Ind.,
40 miles, 2 hours 55 minutes.
Dr. Gothelink, pilot, and R. J. Ir
win, assistant, flying the Indianapolis,
won both the trophies in the handicap
race, which started at 3:45 o ’ clock Sat
urday afternoon, just preceding the
national race. The Indianapolis won
the cup offered for the greatest dis
tance by the Indianapolis Merchants’
association, having approximately 16
miles better to her record than the
Ohio. She also won the Fisher trophy
for time in the air, having a margin of
almost two hours over the Chicago.
The victory o f ^the (Indianapolis men
and their balloon is considered remark
able, inasmuch as they are new at bal
looning. They started on their flight
with but five bags o f sand, and were
lightly provisioned. They made 235
miles, and were in the air 19 hours.
A message from them says their high
est altitude was 13,000 feet. They
were shot at twice as they went over
Kentucky, but were not hit.
The New York, which landed near
Corinth, Miss., was also shot at Sun
day night, while passing over Morgan
county, Alabama.

leaving the aviator a castaway. He
sailed 40 miles in a zigzag course and
succeeded in m akirg a hazardous land

he started.
Zellers was unable to Btop his ma
chinery, but pointed the nose o f his
craft toward the ground and allowed it
to shoot down like a meteor until the
end o f the broken rope trailed on the
ground. Just as Zellers slid down the
rope, a distance o f 70 feet, it broke
and the dirigible, its engines going
full speed, soared into the sky without
a pilot.

Cottage Grove, Or., June 6.— When
on the middle o f Kern bridge, span
ning Row river, on the Oregon &
Southeastern, a mixed train crashed
through and fell, all but the engine, 40
feet into the stream below at 4 :30
o ’ clock yesterday afternoon.
Seven
teen passengers were hurt, all o f them
more or less seriously. All the avail
able surgeons from Cottage Grove were
rushed to the scene o f the accident by
special train, and the report from the
wreck is that, while all the passengers
are still alive, it is believed several
are fatally hurt.
John Coates, the fireman, went down
with the train, fell in the river,, swam
out, hurried to the nearest telephone
and phoned for assistance and all the
available doctors. The work train had
just arrived and having steam up, a
relief train was hurried to the scene.
The wrecked train was due here at 5
o ’clock, and the engine had just cleared
the bridge when the center span gave
way. The activity o f Engineer W il
liam Ostrander saved the engine from
piling on top o f the other cars in the
ravine. Ostrander set the brakes and
»he train parted at the tender, twisting
the rods and the engineer was seriously
injured by the reversing lever. The
tender now rests on top the coach, 12
feet o f which is under water.

Every farm should have a work
shop. The building may be large or
small. It is not necessary to have it
very expensive. The tools may be few
or many, but what there are should be
good. No man can do good work with
poor tools, and good tools cost but lit
tle more than poor ones. A building
10 by 12 feet will answer for a black
smith shop with a small vise bench In
one corner. If this Is fitted with a
good chimney, forge, anvil, hammer,
tongs and good steel vise, considerable
blacksmithing work can bevdone to ad
vantage.
There should be a small stove to
make the shop comfortable in winter.
This is very important, because there
is more time to work in a shop in the
winter, and you can’t work with black
smith’s tools in a frosty atmosphere.
Carpenter’s work is different. A
carpenter’s bench may be placed
against the side of the building and
covered with a shed roof, for, if neces
sary, carpenter work may be done out
side if you have a covered place for the
bench and tools.
A much better arrangement Is to
have a blacksmith shop in one end of
a larger building and a carpenter shop
in the other end, with a partition be
tween. There should be no shavings
lying about a blacksmith shop; there
is too much danger from fire. For an
other reason, the two kinds of work
do not jibe well together. It is com
paratively easy to keep a blacksmith
shop In order, but there is a great deal
of litter about a woodworking shop,
and a farmer never finds time to keep
such things neatly in order.
In buying woodworking tools the
best are the cheapest. It is poor econ
omy to buy cheap tools. Not mapy are
needed for common repair work, and a
good kit may be had for a few dollars.
Instruction books on mechanics may
help a good deal. The principles may
be studied out and applied in the
shop. The boys on the farm take up
such things easily and often make
good mechanics.— Agricultural Epito-

The silo should be depended upon,
not only for winter feeding, but for
the entire year, in case pasture is
scarce or poor in quality. It is the
cheapest way to get succulent summer
feed If the land is at all limited in
area, or if the pastures are not suen
as to produce good feed in dry weath

milk producers consider that It costs

The Indian corn crop for 100S,
amounted to 2,643.000.000 bushels. The
crops of three years have exceeded!
this, but only the crop of one year
(1006) exceeded It very much. The
value of the crop Is estimated at $1,.
615.000. 000. The price of corn Is ex
ceptionally high. There are only two
years In which the farm price of this
crop was as high as It is for this year.
In 1S81 the price was 63.6 cents; In
1901, when there was only two-thirds
of an ordinary crop, the price was
60.5 cents. The total value of this
crop Is by far the highest ever reach
ed. The crop of 1902 was worth a bil
lion dollars, and the crops of 1904,
1905 and 1906 were worth $100.000,000
more; the great Increase of $300,000,-
000 over the crop of 1902 was made In
1907, and now the Increase Is $600,000,-
000— equal to the gold In the treasury
of a rich nation.

The place where the first Baldwta
apple tree grew Is marked by a monu
ment. This first tree was a chance
seedling that came to maturity on a
farm near Lowell, Mass , about 1740
It was not until 1784 that Col. Bald
win became interested in the apple, de
veloped it and gave it his name. The
original tree lived till after 1817, and
did not live In vain. For the Baldwin
apple Is one of the best.

One of the most novel uses for the

It is essential that water fui fowls
be changed twice daily, at least, and
unless it is kept celau it will occasion
disease. Should a fowl be ill, and the
owner not be aware of it. as It drinks
it Is bound to contaminate tlie water
from some discharge, perhaps from its
nostrils or from the breath, says the
Mirror and Farmer. A sick bird, of
course, should always be removed, but
sometimes the farmer or poultryman Is
unaware that the fowl is sick until n
Is too late to undo the harm it has
done by contaminating the drinking
water. The l>est plan Is to keep the
water as fresh and the drinking ves
sels as clean ns It Is possible to do. A
few drops of carbolic acid in the drink
ing water will assist in keeping It
pure, but the acid should lie used care
fully on account of Its poisonous quali
ties. Washing the drinking fountains
or vessels daily will do more to keep
the water fresh and pure than any
thing else. When water Is allowed to
stand, even If only for a few hours, on
throwing It out there will be the small
est accumulation of slime in the foun
tain, and if they are refilled without
washing them, the coating Increases
until the water, although freshly put
In, Is unfit for the fowls’ use. As the
warm weather advances there is more
necessity of watching the drinking vea*

Prof. R. A. Moore says that pains
taking in breeding corn has raised the
average corn production of Wisconsin
from twenty five bushels per acre In
1901 to 41.2 bushels per acre In 1907.
This increase is worth striving for
in every State and on every farm.
