TUMBLES TO DEATH FROM PARACHUTE

Aeronaut Moore Is Killed Following Thrilling Ascension. v .* ■ i WAS MAKING THREE CUT DIP six Thousand People, Including Victim’s Fiancee, See Balloonist Lose Hold of Craft 800 Feet In Air. Belleville, X. J., July 5. —Six thousand persons, including the fiancee of Thomas Moore, a professional aeto- ! aaut, saw him tumble to death from i I’arachute, after making a thrilling Walloon ascension from Hillside Pleasare park. He dropped 800 feet, falling i half mile from where he ascended. Moore, a resident of Jacksonville, Fla., was a daring air man. For the iast three seasons he had startled the patrons of Hillside park with his startling feats. When killed he was making what he had named his "three jut dip," using three parachutes, one after another, in his descent. In making the last dip he lost his grip an the trapeze. Passenger Lands Safely. Moore, who was twenty-seven years old. took with him a passenger, William D. Dillen. twenty-four years old, an amateur aeronaut. The balloon rose rapidly until it was more than 1,500 feet- high. At that point they decided to leave the balloon. "You get away first, youngster,” said Moore to Dillen. “I’ll see that you get started all right. Besides that I want to make that crowd down there gasp when I start.” Dillen jumped, his parachute opened quickly and he started down slowly and landed safely. Uses Three Parachutes. A few seconds later Moore started downward. He had three parachutes, one of which opened an instant after he jumped from the basket. He descended a short distance, when he let go of the giant umbrella and it floated away slowly. Immediately afterward the second parachute, which Moore had tied to his wrist, opened wide, stopping his rapid fall. After he had come down several hundred feet and the people in the park were cheering him, Moore prepared to abandon the second parachute. The crowd intently watched him. The red colored parachute that he had used first was floating at a considerable distance from him; the second one. white in color, was now just leaving his grasp, and the third, blue, was seen to flutter in the air and belly out as Moore shot down. Either a sudden jar as the blue cloth spread open, or a fainting spell caused Moore to let go his hold. Fiance Witnesses Fall. As he tumbled over and over the tense silence of the crowd was broken by the sharp cry of Moore’s fiancee, who had kissed him good-by as he had started on the upward trip. She was assisted to, one of the buildings in the grounds and later sent to her h6me in Newark. She and Moore had planned to wed next month.

NOTES from MEADOWBROOK FARM

By William Pitt

If rabbits have gnawed only the outer bark, wrap the wound with cloth. Barley and oats, as well as wheat, ane usually improved in quality oh flax land. Working the soil when it is wet will make it coarse and lumpy the whole season. As soon as your lettuce is large enough; feed it to those chickens you are fattening. There is no better way by which the corn crop can be used than through the silo. You can not make as good silage from dry cornstalks as you can from mature green corn. Plant a row of the large, tame sunflowers along the fence for hen feed at moulting time next fall. * The strawberry is one of the small fruits which apparently thrive better in acid than in alkaline soils. The fleece of the ram should be dense, even in quality, and of a strong, clear, white fiber throughout. A pure-bred bull is often a poor bred bull. Pedigree and performance are not interchangeable words. It is to the poultryman’s interest to keep his stock to the best type, healthy and vigorous all the time. A half day’s work in the orchard with the manure spreader will show up when apples are ripe next summer. No profit in keeping old ewes that have lost their teeth. Better fatten them the best you can and get rid of them quickly. You should know the working qualities of your sows; watch them from the time they farrow and see how they treat the little fellows. The average cow ought to have four to six weeks’ rest each year. A good time to dry them off is just as they be gin to make an udder. Coal oil will soften the old paint brushes used last year. Plaee them in a can of the oil and wash them well in warm soapsuds. Feather pulling may be checked by dissolving powdered aloes in watei and washing the feathers of the birds that have been plucked. j: To keep up g heavy milk flow a cow must have all the water she can drink for every 100 pounds of her milk con tains 87 pounds of water. Every garden for the home should have grapes and many market gar dens could be made more profitable by growing this splendid fruit. Many people have the idea that brown shelled eggs are the richer but the difference between white and brown eggs is only in the color. The best milking pail is the one so constructed that it will reduce to a minimum the amount of dirt falling into the milk during the process oi milking. One of the most general methods adopted for cooling milk is to place the cans in a vat containing water which reaches a point slightly above surface of milk. Cleanliness in handling, in straining and in separating the milk is a thing that cannot be too religiously adhered to, for prevention is the key word to quality in all dairy work. The cow is a fertilizer factory, a butter factory and a skim milk factory; yet many farmers feed her as little grain as they dare in the winter and none at all In the summer. Plan to have a good, big patch of strawberries for home use, and secure your plants early in the season. The big crop of berries is from vines that have a long season of cultivation and growth. Horses with sore eyes can be greatly relieved by applying one part coal tar. disinfectant and eight -parts vaseline. Do not get grease in the eyes. Also use saturated solution of boric acid and salt water as a wash. If you have plenty of potatoes on hand they make an excellent feed for pigs, but they should be cooked and mixed with corn chop, middlings, etc. Corn meal and potatoes, well cooked into a soft mush, makes an ideal feed and is greatly relished by pigs, besides it is a very healthful food.
