The plan of commercial alliance
between Germany and Great Britain
to fight the United States would be ad-

Great Britain would then each want
another alliance with somebody else

Great Britain. or between the United
States and Great Britain to fight Ger
many would likewise be good thing
II each party to the alliance could be
assured that somebody else would
come along and help it whip the other

Alfalfa Roots.

OF course have always dimly real
lied that In it's subterranean habits al
falfa differed from most other plants,
but the full extent Of this difference
was never fully brought home to me
until last fall while excavating for a
cellar in alfalfa sod. The soil in ques-
ton is a light loan, with occasional
thin streaks of clay. 1t had been well
plowed in the fall of 1897, and the win
ter frosts left it sin prime shape for
seeding in early May. used twenty
pounds OF seed per acre, which proved
to be rather too much, considering the
fine condition of the soil, as 1t gave a
probable average of twenty plants per
foot. The excavation was made five
and one-half feet deep. Much to my
establishment, one square foot Of the
cellar bottom showed twenty-five Of
the tough, white tap-roots shooting
straight down into the unknown depths
below, while over the whole area an
average of thirteen or fourteen was
maintained. In Six months growth
two-thirds of these plants had sent
their tap-roots more than five and one
half feet in quest Of water.-F. M.
Crane, in Farmers Advocate.

Milly.
mo, you never had, more shame to

have come to the conclusion. Milly,
that you are no child to be given a few
shillings at time. You are my house
keeper and deserve your regular sala
ry. I shall give you five pounds for
your own personal expenses at the be-
ginning of every month, and you shall
use and economic it as you choose.
The household expenses, of course, will
be paid out of the common stock
"Oh, Dudley, never felt so rich in
my life,' said she. Nov can dress
like other women, and give a little
money to the church and hep the poor
and feel independent! And I can lay

Oh, you shall see what an excellent
manager can be-"
Dudley Darlington looked at his
young wife with sharp prick of con-
science at his heart. Why had he
never made her so innocently happy
before? Simply because 1t had never
occurred to him.
And Milly ran eagerly to her father
in-law.
"Papa!' she cried. II am to have
five pounds month all for my own
self and never to give an account Of
penny of it, unless pleased 1t is
Dudley's own offer. Isn't he kind?''
And Colonel Darlington smiled and
patted her head, and answered, with a
touch of sarcasm:
every kind, indeed. Chicago Times

Topdressins After Having.

There are many cases where an appli-
cation Of fine, well-rotted manure di-
rectly after the first crop Of grass is
taken off will do much to start good
second growth, but this year it has
been so dry in this section that there
seems little benefit would have been
found by such topdressing. We would
wait until after the cutting of the Sec
ond crop, If there is any, or until about
October, and apply it then, not consid-
ering it SO important to have the ma
nure fine, as it will become so before
next spring, or can quickly be made so
by the use of light harrow or brush.
But if manure is all needed for hoed
crops, do not make the mistake of APP
plying commercial fertilizer this fall.
Wait until early spring and then make
a mixture 1000 pounds of raw bone,
400 pounds each of nitrate of soda and
muriate Of potash, or in that proper
ton, and use from $50 to 400 pounds
per acre, according to whether you
want a heavy or very heavy crop. For
clover field one-half that amount Of
nitrate of soda would be enough, or on
land which has been lately heavily
MANFRED with stable manure.-Ex-

them selves. It Is not all Of a teacher
to understand his subject, but he must
be able to impart his knowledge to 9TH
ers> SO that they will understand 1t.
One OF the best teachers we ever knew
was not what would be called an elu-
Gated man, but what he knew he could
explain SO that almost the simplest In
stellect could learn from him. There
are Others 50 highly educated that they
speak In terms that are as unknown
tongues" to those whom they desire to
instruct. They cannot teach those who
are more than ONE degree below them
in attainment. They need an interpre-
ter. Some such have written for agri
cultural papers, and we; have even seen
some bulletins from colleges and ex.
pertinent stations that we thought were
written by such learned ignoramuses,
whose writings were of little use to
farmers seeking information. Then
there are others whose college educa-
ton and natural abilities fit them to be
always students. They will investigate
carefully and with much painstaking,
perhaps, only in the end to find that
they have but proven scientifically
facts that the practical man learned
long ago by costly experience. Yet
many Of their investigations lead to a
knowledge Of new facts, which practi-
cal men make useful The investiga-
tions of Franklin into the nature of
electricity, apparently useless at the
time, opened the way for the inventions
of Morse, Bell and Edison. One inves-
tigator or one teacher may accomplish
more in the line Of agricultural i'm
provement than hundred sent back to
labor with their hands or even their
brains in the every day duties of
farmers life, therefore let us not think
the work Of the college is in vain be-
cause all it's graduates have not gone
back to the farm

To Test Purity of Water.

So much sickness is attributed to the
use of impure water that it would
sometimes save suffering doctors
bills-if tests were occasionally made
of the drinking water. A simple and
safe test, well known by chemists, is as
follows: Draw a tumblerful from the
tap at night, put piece of white lump
sugar in it and place it where the tenn.
perature will not be under 60 degrees
In the morning the water, If pure, wil5'
be perfectly clear; if contaminated Dy
sewage or other impurities, the water
will be milky.
