Alfalfa and Mammoth Clever.

A Sanborn county (Dakota) correspond
ent TO the Prairie Farmer writes: Our
ing the last two years / have experimental
quite extensively in the above grasses and
with highly satisfactory results. On or
about May IA, 1887, j sowed five acres of
alsalfa and of mammoth clover. The
ground was plowed deeply and thoroughly
before we sowed the seed. After seeding
we gave it fine narrowing and finished
off with good heavy rolling. 1t came up
seasonably and seventy-two days from
date OF seeding 1 had samples of the alfalfa
and clover. The latter was very nice,
while the alfalfa showed growth OF top
of ten inches, and roots twenty-five inches
long. The year 1887 will long be
remembered by the people OF
season to start grasses of any
kind, and the only wonder is that the
grass lived at ALL We had no rains TO
speak of in the fall of 1887, and almost
expected, in view of this, 10 meet with a
failure, or, at best, a very poor stand of
grass. But, to my surprise both the
alfalfa and clover came through the winter
in nice shape, and all growing finely.
Many heads OF the alfalfa are now ten
inches high. The clover shows equally
as fine growth. 1t is my opinion the
reason why so many farmers fail in rails
ing these grasses is that the soil is too shall
low and poorly prepared, and the young,
tender roots cannot penetrate the hard
ground. / have no doubt but If the farm
ers Of South Dakota will pillow deeply and
prepare the soil fit for the seed, they will
have no failure with either Of the above
named grasses. SOW seventeen pounds
of alfalfa seed and twenty pounds of clover
seed to the acre.

A young lady while out walking a very

impossible. While hesitating which way

mail boy literally wading through the
muddy water, struggling bravely under
he burden OF another little fellow, scarcely
smaller, whom he carried in his arms.
"Why, little boy" said the lay, "don't you
know it is not right to get your feet wet ?"
II know" he answered, "but you see

THIEVES BY BIRTH.
New York Detectives Say There Is No Such
Thing AS kleptonania.

1.-TWO skilled detectives agree in the
theory that the disease known as KEEP
tomania does not exist. When rich
woman steals fifty dollars worth of
goods she has kleptomania,' said one
of them. and when n poor woman
steals fifty cents worth of bread to
feed her starving children she is a
thief. Show me a pauper with a real
bad attack of kleptomania,' and / will
believe that there is such disease. for.
if there is. why should not the poor be
as susceptible to it as the rich? My
impression at present is that people
are born thieves, as they are born
musicians or singers-it is gift,
though deplorabe one. and is &C
companied by great cunning and sagac-
ity. Another fact which disproves
the kleptomania theory is that never
in my experience of many years have
any goods been returned or paid for by
the friends of people afflicted with this
imaginary nlalady; it is only when dis
covered stealing that they and all their
friends call them kleptomaniacs. When
2 woman comes in here and buys 4
new bonnet and walks off bold with ii
on her head without paying for it or
takes waterproof off \ figure and puts
it on herself before US all. | know she
is victim of mental alteration and
treat her accordingly. If. however.
there are kleptomaniacs. one of the
best known remedies for them is found
in police court-it is almost a sure
cure. Many rich women who have
large accounts at stores. and are ap-
parently unlimited as to money, will
take twenty-five cent articles surrep-
titiously if they can. and the clerks
make up the deficit in their bills or &C.
counts. A wagon load of goods was
recovered in the house of rich woman
by one firm, the goods being slowed
away under the servant girls bed, and
never having been used or cut into.
But the peculiarly among rich shop
lifters lies in the cheapness of he artti-
cles they pilfer. which would signify a
rather diseased mental condition and a
desire simply to steal." IN = Sun
