he will soon recover.

EnTT0R WnET lIlr mi nv, ion
tion being too late for last week, bv
your permission and kindness. we
wish to use small space in your val
liable columns this week. Trusting
that Wa-Keeney and community are
interested in temperance work.
According to announcement we
met at the court house on Tuesday
evening, February 81, and afterward
peacefully proceeded to the NJ. e.
church, where we pirtOOk of a tenn
perance feast, prepared oy Major f.
II. Scott, which seemed to be well re-
ceived by a well-tilled house and at
tentive audience.
The lecture was not only enter tain
ing but highly instructive. Major
Scott is a power in the temperance
cause.
We realize that we lose much in not
being able to retain him through a
series of lectures, which he is giving
in a number of towns in this district.
We are proud to be able to say that
of the forty-tive states, Kansas, save
one, according to its population, has
the least number of representatives of
intemperance and evil in the state
penitentiary. This being the result
of the prohibitory law.
Trusting that the work may be
crowned with as much success in the
future as in the past, we commend it
to your careful consideration.

The Jewell City Republican, which
is a great alfalfa journal, discovers
something new and good about it al
Everybody who has read much about
alfalfa knows that among the many
good things credited to it is it's power
to restore fertility to the soil, as does
clover. Newt kreamer (who is about
the only man in Jewell county foolish
enough to plOw up piece of alfalfa)
says that in his experience he finds
this claim to be well founded. His
field had long been under cultivation
and it was not producing near what it
did when new, but after plowing mp
the alfalfa he raised crop of wheat
there last year that was the admira-
tion of everybody who saw il. Mr..
Kreamer says he believes the ground
is as good now as it was the first time
a stirring plow was run through it.
Every farmer knows that this means
great deal as the difference between
old and new land is becoming more
distinct and decided every year. But
if an old worn-out field can be reStor-
ed to its original fertility by two or
three years stand in alfalfa and pay
good returns for itself during the
time, it is an easy way out of real
difficulty. The alfalfa can be shifted
from field to field and the whole farm
thus be kept in good state of fertili- |
ty- There is another thing farmers
are just learning about alfalfa, and |
that is that early fall sowing is sue
cess. Sown early enough in the fall |
to get a root down pretty well it will |
go through the winter all right and |
not have to fight for it's life with the |
weeds in the spring. This gives two |
chances a year instead of one to get a |
Herald.
