HOW TO START ALFALFA.

There has been so much discussion of
late as TO the superiority of alfalfa as a
grass and of its profitableness for hay,
seed and feed, that inquiry seems gen.
eral for the proper methods to be en-
ployed in getting a good stand. 1t has
been probably two years since the

state agricultural college upon the cues.
tion of sowing and after care, at which
time we published his views and advice
However, we herewith give the views of
Professor Charles Bessey as published in
the Nebraska Farmer, as follows:
In the growth of alfalfa it is necessary
first of all to take very great pains to fit
the soil for the young plants. The
ground must be rich and mellow. Un-
less it is it should be treated 10 a good
quantity of barn ward manure in order
to supply the sol with available
nitrogen. Then when the alfalfa has
obtained a foothold it will thereafter
supply itself with all the nitrogen it
needs.
Prepare the ground with great care
and have it like garden as to mellow
ness aud freedom from clodS. Sow the
seed as soon as possible in the spring.
but do not SOW it on another crop. as we
genera : do for clover. It Is well 10
sow 0cIi. or so of oats per acre with

COMMENT AND OPINION,

sB Less than two short years ags our democratic friends were writing the obituary of the republican party. step they see the cat has returned in the form of a catamount-St. Louis Globe-Democrat
 sB"The town of Clifton, O., contains two hundred and fifty inhabitants; two-thirds of them voted for Cleveland in 1892. They have published an open letter in which they declare that they will never vote the democratic ticket again. They sent their petition to Washington, signed by one hundred and fifty of their number, praying that the Wilson bill might not become Q law
 IS At the beginning of Grover Cleve- lands second term public men of his own party faith were almost unani- nous in proclaiming his praise. Is would be considered now an exception to the general rule to hear one of these leading democrats advocate anything good in Mir. Cleveland; but, on the oth- CT hand, he is usually condemned in all his utterances and matters of public policy.
 sB"The verdict retyned by the peo- pie of Indiana against Daniel w. Yoor- hees, charged with conspiring against the public good, was that of guilty" The court withholds sentence until January, 1897, when Daniel will be called upon to stand up and respond to the interrogatory of the judge, whether he has anything to say why the sen- tence of the people should not be passed upon him.
 eB-Tired people are not hard to per suade to lay down their burdens. Four teen months of the burden of democ- racy causes feeble knees to tremble and tired limbs to halt The unload ing process has begun. New York, New Jersey and Indiana are piling up these old democratic burdens, giving notice that in the future they prefer to enter the unequal race of politics without being handicapped
 EB The Boston Globe wants to know what would be the result if the repub- licans in Washington should succeed in keeping the Mckinley tariff in opera ton. That is easy, neiGhbor. It would mean what this country needs more than anything else-a return of the prosperity that sent its gladsome messages into millions of hearts and homes during the years of 1891 and 1892, and give assurance to all the wondering poor of the nation to-day that employment snail once moro De ' obtainable.

God, and with all outward purity about it, too-fragrant, fresh and white of garb as lily is of leaf. Such a thing had never touched him before He wanted to be kind to it, and he hardly knew how He bent his head a little.
 Give us a kiss" he said, in gruff rumble of a voice, and the nurse girl held the baby up to him.
 Give the gentleman a French kiss" she said, and Innocence personified did not even know sin in the flesh when 1t looked at and touched it. The cherub hands caught softly at the mans whiskers, the angel mouth kissed his two cheeks, one after the other, then his mouth.
 Say, day day." cried the girl, and baby said it, and the two were gone
 The man had never had pure kiss beforehand never felt a tender emo tion, had never loved anyone. On the instant he loved this baby. He walked away very quickly. His heart was troubled, as the waters of the pool when the angel descended into it. He passed the people going home, and asked himself if they had babies at home like that one.
 ''l'll be respectable. I'll go to for eign parts and start fair. Iwon't have jail and gallows ahead of me, and I'll have little kid like that to call me daddy"
 And then two big tears squeezed themselves out of his eyes and rolled down his cheeks, unconsciously.
 "I'll go in the steamer" he said. "Pll change my name. If I'm not nabbed for this bank affair I'll make my fortune as these fellows do. Pm their match, ] reckon. I'll not have the gallows ahead of me, as it's like shall if l stay here. And I'll have little kids and an old woman. 1 will"
 There was more of it. He could not help swearing, but, think, had he known how, he would have prayed this time instead. But just then there came upon his ear sudden tumult. Men were flying past him; bell was ring ing; women were shrieking. He caught boy and asked him what the row was.
 "House afre, and young one burn ing up in it." said the boy.
 And at that Ishmael followed the crowd. He had never before cared for anyoues danger. He had never felt pity for anyone Now the thought of that

,derS like Robin Hoods, "a cloth yard measure from tip to tip," and six feet at least in his boots; man of might and pluck. It was pity that, at thirty years of age, this man could not have rememb bered had he desired to do so, one worthy deed, one honest piece of labor honestly paid for, even ore kindly deed, such as ordinary men do out of mere good nature every day of their lives
 Somehow he had come by the name of lshmael-certainly not by christen- ing. It was the Attest name for him that could have been chosen.
 With a bank robbery on his con science, if he had one, and the knowl- edge that all the powers of the police were at work to prove him engaged in it, few men would have walked down Broadway that day, glittering and tashy, with a long cigar in a long amber mouthpiece, and stolen watch in his fob, but he did it. He met an ac- quaintance and said-anathema-"H are you? aad"-anathema agaln, his ordinary way of salutation. He knocked an innocent little Frenchman down for being in his way and kicked boot black for saying: shine your boots?" And just then, way down at his feet, a little voice said: Papa, papa" and two little arms encircled his leg, and, looking down, he saw toddling thing in white and blue, with sunny curls and rose bud mouth, clinging there. 'Papa," it said again, and then a tidy nursemaid, all out of breath, came up and caught it and cuddled it and laughed over it.
 The gentleman ain't your papa" said she Its the way with her al ways; any fine-lookin' gentleman she will take for her papa"
 And the girl smiled on Ishmael, and, for a wonder, he did not insult her either by word or look.
 Something nipped at his heart A great ball seemed to be in his throat. He dubbed children "kids," and hated them, but this was not like the chill dren of the dens he frequented. A lit tie soul pure as when it came from
The Coconino weekly sun., 1894-05-17

soft mouth that had touched his heart made him quiver with the thought that little soul like that was in such awful danger; made him promise himself to save it, if he had the power; made him call them all towards for standing there, staring and shouting and doing nothing. The engines had not yet come, and the house, all in flames in side, belched forth fire from its many windows, as though they had been the mouths of the fabled dragon. And in the midst of the crowd girl, restrained by kindly hands, struggled and screamed:
 Let me go! Let me go! They left her in my care. She's burning to death up there. I'd rather die than face them. Let me go!"
 And Ishmael heard the voice and saw the face of the nurse-maid who had held the baby up to kiss him.
 "Is it the little kid you had along of you?" he asked, clutcning the girls shoulder with his big hand, '"rhat little critter-say?"
 "Yes, yes" cried the girl make them let me go She's atop of the house, back in the nursery. Oh, make them let me go.'
 You stay here" said Ishmael. 'Pll go myself, and Pll bring her out or never come at all"
 And with these words Ishmael dashed into the building, already very furnace of red flame. A shout

A Practical illustration,

Now see here, my friend, let us look at this tariff matter from the practical farmers side. The import duty on calico is four cents yard You can buy American calico-just as good as Eng lish--for just that figure. You can get fair American calico for a shade less-the very best grades range from four and one-half to six cents. If a tariff is tax then when American calico is sold for four cents the manu- facturer is making it for nothing; if it should run below four cents he is pay ing people to wear his goods; if it is sold for five cents he is getting just q cent yard for all his work The tar if tax" theory won't work. Itleaks, it sags at the sides, it will collapse from its own weight.

New York papers announce the
engagement of Miss Anna Gould
to VIM. B. Hartman, which was
declared annulled when she sailed
for Europe with her brother George.
Miss Anna accepted Mr.. Harri.
man before consulting either her Sc
date. well.balanced sister, Miss
Helen, or any Of her brothers.
Some weeks later Mr.. Hartman
broke the news to George Gould.
The young millionaire said that he
had no personal objections to Mr..
Harriman-in fact he thought very
highly of him-but be did not think
that his sister was old enough to
know her own heart. Mise Anna
was approached by her brother
George and her sister Helen, both
of whom have a great deal of inf1u-
ence over her.
After celebrating and after the
news of the engagement had gone
abroad they asked her to agree to
the announcement of the annulment
of the contract on the condition
that if, after several months spent
abroad she felt the same toward Mr..
Hartman as she did then, the en-
should be reannounced,
and that the marriage should fol-
low within a reasonable time.
Miss Anna, SO it is said, consult
ed with her fiance, und he agreed
to accept the conditions. On her
return, after having met the most
eligible men of Europe, she has
shown herself true to Ler American
lover.
