the idea that Reynolds and Brett were

Americans were as brothers. and that

they were always ready TO night when

Shortly after this the big mule wagon
was brought around and the dattos
were told that the troops hoped to have
the honor OF driving them again 10

others made signs that they would

MIR. Baird had 1o4 feet of two inch pipe

The Force of a Good Example.


From the lola Register.
A few months ago the Salvation
Army sent detachment to lola, the
first permanent establishment of the
army to this town Two young wo-
men came here to take up the work
There was only two and one of them
had been q soldier only two months.
They had no money to pay incidental
expenses. and no assured salary. But
they went to work. They secured q
meetir~ -oom and had it fitted up.
They held nightly meetings oh the
street and in the hall. But chiefly
they spent their days going about
doing good. They visited the sick
and the afflicted, they carried food to
the hungry and found clothes for the
naked and houses for those who
| were without shelter.
About the same time, or a little
earlier, there came from somewhere
two or three or four members of the
| Dunkard church. They didn't say
anything to anybody but pretty soon
it became known that they were TAX
ing care of a sick woman whose
1
Tertiary for stealing a horse that
belonged to them, and that
they were doing great many simil N
deeds of kindness and mercy. And in
a little while the papers announced
that the Dunkard hospital was in full
force and effect.
And the five or six big strong
churches in the city, with their hun
dreds of members, who had been
able heretofore to find nothing to do
except to give socinls to raise money
to buy carpets or something for their
churches, OF to sew up aprons and
things to sell to each other to get
money to send to the heather. at last
perceived that there was other work
for them to do. They realized with
something of shame that these Sal
vation Army girls, and these Dun
kard missionaries coming here
. strangers, few in number and with
; no money but that which kind hearts
: gave, found work which they had
overlooked and were valking in a
way which they should follow
And thus it came to pass that the
societies which formerly met TO do
v fancy sewing to be sold to themselves
r and to talk, and to have refresh
mepts'' which they did not need, and
the cost of which would have furnish
ed some scant tables q weed, are now

members of strong established

Gephers and Crab ssrass versus Alfalfa
Experiments station, Manhattan
Kansas, February ., 1900.

The two enemies of alfalfa after It
Is once established are the pocket go
pher and crab-grass. The pocket
gopher digs it's runs three to four
inches under the surface, cutting off
the roots which happen to lie in its
path, but worst of all it throws up a
chain Of mounds along the run which
render moving very difficult. IF un-
molested, this Epest will carry on its
depredations to such an extent that
the field Will have to be p1owed up.
They also feed on the alfalfa roots.
No preventive has been found.
Trapping may be employed against
them, but it is tedious and generally
unsatisfactory. Poisoning is perhaps
the easiest and most satisfactory
method of destroying the gopher, and
If properly done they may be almost
entirely exterminated. To poison
them, as soon as fresh mound is seen,
get some potatoes and cut them as
they are usually cut for seed. A bottle
of crystallized strychnine, which may
be obtained by any adult at a drug
store at so cents per bottle. should
be at hand. Then. with a pocket
knife or old case-knife, slit the pieces
and drop a crystal of strychnine not
larger than a whes.t grain in the slit
40 it will lodge near the middle o.
The potato. The potato being
moist, the strychnine will soon be
dissolved and carried all through it.
and it should be used as soon as
poisoned. Take a spade and q
wagon rod and the potatoes and pro
ceed at once to the gopher patch. .
With the rod poke into the ground
around the fresh hill until the
run is located, and open with the
spade. Drop in a potato, cover uE
and proceed to tho next hill. Gophers
arc very fond of potatoes. One dose
usually kills the gopher. IF too
much strychnine is used, or the
potatoes are not used as soon as pre-
pared, the poison is not so effective
IF the field is gone over once week
the old hills leveled down and thu
new ones given a potato, the gophers
work will soon be very much lessen
ed Now and then one will be to-
smart for the potato and will keep a
work. Try to trap him.
For crab grass, in the spring. jus
before the alfalfa gets started. take
disk, set it nearly straight an
thoroughly disk the field, going bot
ways, and leave it in good shape t
put in oats. This loosers up til
ground, splits the old crowns, there
by thickening the stand, and givin
the alfalfa new life SO that it grow
in spite of crab-grass.
Many successful alfalfa raise1
disk the alfalfa fields every tw
years, whether the crab-grass bothel
or not, and consider it very beneficie
Alfalfa should never be put in fe
that is foul with crab-grass. Fir
clean the field by growing sms
grain or summer following, and thu
use the disk after it appears IN Il
field. Care must be exercised in L
ing the disk If the field is youn
but at any time it will stand more
such treatment than would be So
posed. J. g. HANET.
