Alfalfa.


Harper Sentinel.
If you have piece of ground on your
farm that lies high and dry, that is sandy
or hard pan, that will not produce grass,
corn, wheat or oats, plant it in alfalfa.
1t will grow thrifty in almost any kind
of soil through drouth or bot winds; it
makes a splendid feed and will fatten
cattle; however, it should be fed alter
nately with hay. Thousands of acres of
it are growing in Colorado and it is the
only crop that will go through the dry
est season without irrigation. 1t Will
not grow on soil that is inclined to be
5wampy. After being planted it is hard
to get rid of. You can pillow the ground
and it comes up smiling and thick in the
springtime. 1t makes splendid hay that
will bring twice the price of common
prairie grass hay. Every farmer should
haye at least ten acres on his place. You
will find that in seasons where every
other crop perishe5 your alfalfa will be
all right. Plant alfalfa.

In the DAYS AOone.

At one time a woman could hardly
walk through the streets of San Francis
co without having every one to pause
and gaze on her, and a child was 50 rare
that once in theater in the same city
where woman had taken her infant,
when it began to cry, just as the orches-
ira began TO play, man in the pit cried
out, stop those fiddles and let the baby
cry, l haven't heard such sound for
ten years" The audience applauded this
sentiment, the orchestra stopped and the
baby continued its performance amid I'M
bounded enthusiasm.

a COOL SCHEME

During the past few days almost every
ship which has crossed the Atlantic has
encountered icebergs in proximity to
the course usually followed by vessels
sailing between the North Atlantic port
and Europe. These icebergs are found
farther south this year than ever before
Indeed, one captain reported a mon
ster specimen only two days out from
New York.
The question now arises, why should
not some one profit by this condition of
affairs: With ice at its present unpre-
cedented price east, it seems as if it
might pay SEINE enterprising person to
take run out into the ocean, lasso one
of these bergs, hitch a tug TO it and
bring it up into the neighborhood of
New York. One berg which was
seen was described as over $50
feet high, and large enough in area
to cover ten city blocks. If this
berg could be secured it might prove a
bonanza in many ways. 1t might be
anchored at convenient distance from
the city, and profitable summer resort
might be started upon it. 1t could be
located far enough out so that no excise
board could have jurisdiction over it,
and cold drinks of all species might be
dispensed at all hours daily, nightly and
on Sundays without fear Of any molesta-
ton from any authorities.
The New York Star grows eloquent
over the theme and exclaims: think
of visit to an icebeIg one of these bot
July days! Such an attraction would
uring visitors from all parts of the coun-
try, and line Of boats carrying passen-
gers TO and from the berg might prove
enormously profitable, In daytime the
the enormous crystal mass would sparkle
in the sunshine with thousands Of flashes
of prismatic color. AT night its
pinnacles might be made to
glitter with electric lights, and
its grottoes might be Illuminated
with myriads of colored fires. Novel
amusements might be inaugurated.
There might be toboggan slides of the
ordinary character, and others, with
long stretches at the base, down which
boats could slide to continue their course
far over the water. The berg could be
place for music and pyrotechnics, for
dinners, receptions and comic operas.
There would be no malaria there would
be no mosquitoes; there would be no
trees to drop caterpillars upon one. For
a summer paradise an iceberg could
scarcely be surpassed. Besides, what
splendid place TO put the losers by the
Mississippi hippodrome 'on ice Why,
even the newspaper trust might be pre-
served on such cool retreat

A big book publishers trust is now
talked of. The discussion of the ques-
ton of the states publishing the text
books for the use of the common schools
that has been before several legislative
bodies within the past year. prompted by
the exorbitant prices at which school
books are usually held and sold, no
doubt led to this proposed concert of
action on the part of the publishers. The
public is opposed to the principle of
trusts and combines, but if by concert
of action the publishers can cheaper the

not complain if the army of middle men.

The Alabama chatauqua which meets
at Fort PayEe in the northern part of
that state on the 10th of September,
promises to be an event of unusual in
terest not only to that state and section,
but to the whole country, by reason of
the Joint debate between Hon. James G..
Blaine, secretary of state, and Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, on the subject of
the tariff, announced to take place at the
time and place named. The disputants
are recognized champions of their re-
spective parties, particularly on the
great economic question of the tariff, and
its discussion by them jointly before the
public will make the occasion an inter-
esting, important and memorable one.
The fact of such thing being invited
to that quarter is an encouraging au-
curry.
The Cherokee strip question, freed of
all the fiummery attempted to be cast
upon it and about it by the cattle barons,
is simply this: Will the Indians accept
the governments offer to them, as a
matter of grace, and made for the pur-
pose of amicably settling the controversy
over the ownership of the lands, or will
they presume to ignore the government
and undertake to dicker with the cattle
men? If the Indians nave got Just lit
tie business sense and judgment they
will listen to the governments represen-
tativas now and not wait IN ha forcihly,
elected by others of different charac-
ter and mission. It's ten million dollars
or nothing to the Indians, and our notion
is that Uncle Sam is not going to waste
much time coaxing them to take the
money.
