"A dispatch from Paris says that
Nine. Nevada, the American singer,
has fled to Paris from Spain in great
indignation. She was the first Ameri-
can artist to visit Spain since the war.
She was assured by Spanish friends
that her nationality would have no eff
feet on the Spaniards, and as she was
formerly popular in Spain she made en-
gagements that would have occupied
her time until August. She appeared
IN Lucia di Lammermoorn at Seville

been bought up and was almost empty
when the opera began except for the
police. nine. Nevada sang. however,

Nine. Nevada then left Seville and
went to Madrid, where tie Queen Re-
gent, who had heard of the Seville in
cident, invited her to the palace and
presented to her gold bracelet set

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
From State Agricultural Col
lege.
CANKER WORMS d.

CANKER WORMS.
The Canker-worm moths (male)
have been seen flying about the
electric lights in various parts of the
state. If an examination is made of
the orchard trees In these localities,
doubtless many female moths may be
seen ascending the trees for the pur-
pose of dspositing eggs.
It will not be long before We shall
witness the annual defoliation of our
orchards by the familiar greyish
measuring worms. The number of
these worms might of been greatly
diminished if the trees had been
banded or traps set for catching the
female moths. If this was not done
we cannot do anything now till the
young worms appear. Let not the
cate,pilars this year completely de-
foliate the trees as in past years.
But commence spraying early. Watch
the trees carfully, shaking them
now and then to see if the young
worms are present. If they are
Matching out they will be seen to fall,
suspended by silken threads when the
trees are Jared. The sooner the trees
are sprayed after the first appear
ance of the larvae, the better. It would
be well to have everything ready
for operation: procure plenty of Paris
green or London purple, and have
the spraying machine in good working
ORDER to secure quick and effective
results.

A Very Hot Place.

From all accounts the Red sea is
the hottest place this side of hades.
A recent statement made in England

that was years before the Saez canal
was opened. Now the travellers are
glad to get there. so that they can
cool off. It takes from five to six
days to pass through the red sea, and
every captain looks forward to those
days with horror. A writer in the

A pound and half of alfalfa a day
per hog used with Kafir produces gains

A pound and half of alfalfa a day
per hog used with Kafir produces gains
very nearly equal to a feed of one-fifth
soy bean meal and four-fifths Kafir.
And now is the time to begin prepar-
ing to SOW alfalfa. A deep loose seed
bed is not what you want; but it needs
to be moist, and for this we may have
the required rainfall and we may not.
However, the ground is wet now; and
if you can keep that moisture there till
the plant gets the good of it, there is
enough, even without another rain be-
fore the first of June, to give alfalfa
the best kind of start. The ground
to be put in alfalfa does not need TO
be plowed deep, but the surface three
or four inches must be kept in the best
of tilth. Dish or cultivate as soon as
possible, and then harrow every week
or so; or at least after every rain, to
keep up good earth mulch until it is
time to seed. If at that time the sur
face three or four inches of soil. is loose
and moist, and there is solid bed of
moist soil underneath this loose sur
face, then it doesn't matter much, say
many extensive alfalfa growers, how
you proceed to get the seed under the
ground. We have had the best results
on the Agricultural College farm by
using press drill. and mixing the
seed with an equal weight of wheat
bran. But the prin,ipa thing is to
sow alfalfa, and SOW it until you get a
field.
