New York, Sept. 27. Six men nnd
possibly seven were killed nnd Keven
injured by the explosion of nn oil
tunk of the Essex & Hudson Otis com
pany nt Newark, N. ,7. The tnnk
which exploded was one of a num
ber of immense steel reservoirs which
was undergoing' its periodical clean
ing, it having been emptied of its oil
in the morning. The tank was 20
feet deep nnd two men, Kirch and
Jlcycr, entered through the man
hole iirst without taking the precau
tion of having ropes tied about them.
They were immediately overcome, by
the fumes. Foreman Newman saw
this and started down after them,
after shouting a warning to the other
workmen in the yard, lie, too, col
lapsed in the tank. Nicholas Miller,
a grocer nearby, had once been fore
man of the works. He was in the
yards and at once assumed charge
of the rescue. Summoning others
the men began with chisels to cut n
large ring in the tank. It is sup
posed one of the chisels, in striking
the steel, cuused the emission of a
spark, for instantly there was an ex
plosion like that of u cannon and
then a sheet of ilamc. Ten men were
on the top of the tank at the time.
They were swept away in all di
rections. Miller, Snyder and an uni
dentified man iseem to have borne tho
brunt of the terrific shock. They
were not badly mangled, but not a
bone in their frames was left un
broken. FIRST RACE UNFINISHED.

Account of Light Wind.
New York, Sept. 27. One of the
biggest crowds that ever put to sea
went down to the Sandy Ilook light
ship Thursday to witness Sir Thomas
Lipton's second chnllenger, Shamrock
H., and the white flyer Columbia,
which successfully defended the old
America's cup against his first trophy
hunter two years ago, struggle for
the yachting supremacy of the world
in the first cup races of 1001. But tho
excursion fleet returned disappointed.
The grent single stickers went out
fresh for tho battle, but the sea re
fused them a field of conflict. The
wind, never more than nine and
sometimes as low as three knots, was
too light and shifty to carry the
contestants over the 30-mile course
in the time allotted by the rules. At
the end of 5', hours, the prescribed
time, the race was officially declared
oil' and the yachts were lowed back
to their berths inside Sandy Hook.
When the gun aboard the committee
boat wns fired to call attention to the
signal declaring the race off the
American yacht was still seven miles
from the finish line. The Englishman
was hull down astern of her, tho ex
perts estimating her distance behind
the Columbia at over three-quarters
of a mile.

NO FENCE COR
NER FARMING
The Very Good Reason for the
Long, Strnlfjht Furrows nnd
Great Fields Thnt Arc n Feature
of Western Cannda Forms. v
V
CU1U0S1TY and a love of travel
combined caused me to take an
extensive trip through the ag
ricultural sections of Western Canada
during the past summer, and while
there I was given the best of opportu
nities of studying nnd judging for my
self of the conditions tha.t exist in that
extensive section of our continent.
After 1 had traveled over a few mil
lion acres of Western Canada, and
watched and studied what at first
seemed to me an extravagant waste of
land on the part of the fanners, I be
came better acquainted with condi
tions and the very good reasons for
this seeming wastage.
1 had been used to the farming oper
ations of the more thickly populated
States, where to laake farming pay it
was necessary tc. cultivate practically
every foot of ground; where it vas the
rule rather than the exception to go
to the length of blasting out, if neces
sary, heavily rooted trees or large
bowlders; where much of the farm
land was secured by clearing it of tim
ber and stones, which hud been accom
plished only after years of toil and
privation on the part of the first set
tlers. There traveled with me over
these millions of acres of Canadian soil
a gentleman who had been retired upon
just this sort of a farm in Michigan,
and, as he expressed it, "land was so
scarce and so valuable because of its
scarcity that we had to cultivate even
the corners of the rail fences."
But in my journey through the agri
cultural section of Western Canada,
ranging from Winnipeg on the east to
the Hocky Mountains on the west, and
from the international boundary on
the south to the Saskatchewan river
and beyond on the north, I saw noth
ing thnt savored of -our method of
"fence corner farming," and in time
I learned the reason for the little un
cultivated tracts.
Time, rather thnn land, is the valu
able commodity in Western Canada. In

"The Western Canada Farmer Cultivates Hli
Land Upon Woletuio Methods."
fertile to produce thirty and forty
bushels of wheat to the acre from less
than a bushel of seed; where the gov
ernment gives everyone desiring it a
free homestead of ICO acres of this
land, and where more may be bought
at from $;j to ?.." per acre; where one
year's crop will much more than pay
for the land upon which it is grown, it
is a wicked waste of time to cultivate
the "fence corners."
Pefore I had acquired this informa
tion I was on one farm where a road
way cut oil' a small corner of land from
the remainder of a field of wheat.
There was, I should say, nearly an acre
in this little plat of neglected ground,
and I asked the owner of the farm why
it had not been put under cultivation.
"To undertake to plow that little
three-cornered strip of land would
take far more time than the land is
worth, irivincr both the nresent market
value. To add it to the remainder o
the field would necessitate a loupe
way around from the main road to th
house. Lying just across the ron
there is 100 acres of as good land a
tins upon which I have this yenr grow
more than 30 bushels of wheat to th
ncre, and I can buy that land of th
railroad for $1 an acre. It would tak
as. much time to plow that small piece,
in its present shape, as it would to
plow two acres of the land across the
road, and so would be what Ml; in (his
country consider a wpste of valuable
time."
Straight furrows and long ones is
the plowing rule in Western Canada,
and the trail'' nlnw is t lie f:i vni'Un mmL
od of turning the soil. The Western
Canada farmer, I found, cultivates his
land upon wholesale methods.

chines arc not nhva.vs. the product of
Western Canadian inventors, but the
Western Canadian farmers are aracag-
the heaviest buyers of this class of ngi
rieultural machinery in the world.
The Canadian farmer never becomes
land poor ns does the farmer in the
States. When he buys land he knows
that it will bring him adequate returns
upon his investment, and thai his gov
ernment will not put a burden of taxc
upon it. As a sample of what is possl
ble with the progressive farmers in
Western Canada let me cite the ense of
one living near While Plains, in Man!
toba, a Mr. WIiibIow by nnme. During
the past season this one man had 2,700
.acres of land planted in wheat, and har
vested 07,500 bushels. lie makes farm
ing on these fertile lands immensely
profitable by going about it in u whole
sale way.
Do not, however, imagine that it is
only the wholesale methods that pity
well in Western Canada. I saw men
who owned only the 1G0 acres of land
the government had given them as a
homestead who claimed to bo making
better livings for themselves and their
families and saving more money thnn
they had ever been able to do in the
Stntes on the same amount of land.
Practically every one of these compara
tively small farmers whom I met ns
sured me that it wns their ambition to
purchase more land as rapidly as they
could accumulate the means with
which to buy. They fully renlized that
they could not get too much of what
they knew was a good thing. There
is a vast amount of difference in buy
ing productive land at $3 to $5 an
ncre and nt $30 to $10 an acre.
The straight furrows and the long
ones nre possible in Western Canada,
where, as 1 know from my own investi
gations made during the past summer,
farming pays nnd pays well.
