wishes to try the experiment SOW a
ton of foxtoil seed per acre on my al
falfa meadow and disk it in thorough
ly. / have no fear that the alfalfa
would be injured.
1.-THE use of the disk harrow is
great advantage to an uneven stand
of alfalfa. This causes the roots and
crowns to become thicker in diameter
and more vigorous. Wherever the
disk cuts or bruises the crown many
new buds are formed, and thus the
number of shoots is materially in
creased.
HOW TO HARVEST ALFALFA HAY.
SNOW down as much of the crop at
once as can be handled in one day.
Let it wilt in the swaths and then
rake it into windrows to cure. 1t
should be put into the stack with just
as little handling as possible. When
possible, alfalfa should be stored un-
der roof. as it does not turn rain
well. Alfalfa should be cured and
stacked, il possible, without being
rained upon. No other crop is so cas-
lily injured by ram. Hay exposed for
fifteen days to three showers, aggre-
eating 1.76 inches or rainfall, con-
tained 11.O1 per cent of protein, while
hay from the same land, cut the same
day, but air dried without exposure,
contained 1871 per cent. Alfalfa hay
rained upon is worth about half what
it would be were it unexposed.
"Harvesting alfalfa at the right
time and in the right manner very
largely determines it's feeding value.
before starting the moving machine.
Alfalfa for hay should be cut when
one-fourth to one-half of the blossoms
have opened. When let stand longer
many of the leaves fall off and are
wasted. Moving early stimulates the
growth of the following CROP. Allow
ing it to go to seed seemingly ex-
hausts the plant for that season.
THE YIELD PER ACRE
"The yield of hay on some of the
best Kansas lands may reach six tons
per acre, in favorable seasons. How
ever, one must not expect more than
three tons on the average. The ques-
tion may be asked with propriety,
What is the lowest yield that far
mer may get and yet realize an in
come from the crop?' In the semi
arid districts of the West, on cheap
upland, an average annual crop of one
ton to the acre is far more valuable
than any other crop that can be
grown on such land. The quality of
the degestible nutrients in prime al
falfa hay makes it worth at least SO
per ton for feeding purposes. The
Kansas corn crop seldom pays more
than 50 per acre for The whole state.
Some of our western friends are not
at all contented with such low
yield, and if thev cannot get the four
to five tons usually harvested in their
locality from the bottoms they assert
that alfalfa is a failure on the up
lands.

BEWARE OF OINTMENTs FOR CATARRH

as mercury will surely destroy the

the whole system when entering it

ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Halls Catarrh

A ChIne.e Gentlsman,. Hou.e.

He first took us to his country house.
now uninhabited. 1t was the perfect
residence of Chinese gentleman.
There was very large garden with
bamboo and large fish tanks, edged
with walls of blue bricks and perfor-
ated tiles.
His pigs were in admirable condi-
ton, and as beautifully kept as the
Prince Consort's at Windsor.
About the grounds were nutmegs,
mangosteens, plantains, cocoanuts,
darians. and small creepers, trained
into baskets and padagos. Inside the
house the drawing-rooms had doors
sliding across the circular openings.
We then went on to this good gentle
mans private residence, entering by a
Chinese triumphal gate. : He tells me
he has ten miles of carriage road under
his estate.
1t is ON fine undulating tract of
land. reclaimed from the jungle, and
laid out with rare taste.
In the outskirts tiger killed man
the other day.
In his garden found Jocko, living
In can cage. next door to porcu-
pine; there were also some rare birds.
Further on some very small Brahmin
bulls, Cashmere goat, and a family
of young kangaroos. There were all
sorts of unknown beautiful flowers
placed about In enormous china vases.
Here first saw the tea plant grow
ing. 1t is of the camellia tribe. three
or four feet high, perhaps, and BEARS
a small white flower. like an open dog
rose. Also 1 was shown the moon
flower, kind of rounded convolvulus
that only OPENS by night.
There Sas bower of monkey cups
the pitcher flower, which collects wa
ter. and from which Jocko refreshes
himself In the iungles.
The fan plum produced water by
being pierced with penknife. of a
clear cold quality. Several minute
creepers were trained over wire forms
to initiate dragons. with egg shells for
their eyes: and there were many of the
celebrated dwarf S-ees-the first had
semitic oaks and eIms, about eigh-
teen inches high, like small withered
old men.
The house here was superbly fur
nished In the English style, but with
lanterns all about It
AT six the guests arrived-mostly
English-all dressed in short white
jackets and trowsers.
The dinne- was admirably served. In
good London style. and all the appoint
ments. as regarded plate, glass, wines
and dishes. perfect. The quiet. atten-
tive waiting of the little Chinese boys
deserved ali praise.
After dinner we lounged through the
rooms. decorated with English prints
OF the royal family. statuettes. curios
from every part OF the world, and rare
objects in old stone and crackle china:

GREEN BAY SAENGERFEST,

Ali lovers of music and all who enjoy
a genuine good time should attend the
Saengerfest at Green Bay Friday, Sat
urday and Sunday, June %, % end "a
The fact alone that new concert hall,
with a capacity of 5000, has been erect
ed, shows that the oeople of Green Bay
mean this affairto be agreat success. The
largest number of singers that ever
assembled on such an occasion will be
heard in mass chorus, and the general
programme made very interesting
one. Concerts will be given on Saturd ay
and Sunday and the festival conclude
with a grand picnic at which all the
singing societies and a number of bands
from different parts of the state will
furnish the principal part of the enter
tainment. Sunday excursion trains
from every direction will carry passen-
gers at greatly reduced rates, so that
not the slightest excuse is left for not
attenting Saengerfest and enjoying the
greatest musical treat ever offered 10
the people of our state.

Soon after the election in '96 repub-
licans sent up one symphonious cho-
rus-"Silver is dead, !" Bryan can't get
the nomination in 1900" Both of these
declarations appear to be fast vanishing
into thin air; in fact, they have com
pletely vanished. Everywhere, at
county and state conventions, there is
ringing endorsement of The Great
Tribune and the deathless platform
with which he is SO closely connected
and of which he is the leading advocate.
Even New York and Maryland are solid
for Bryan, and trust-ridden New Jer-
Sey, the home of the lone fisherman,
threatens to break away from the lead
ing strings of monopoly. People are
beginning to realize the momentous
consequences of this years campaign.
The country must be turned from the
vortex of imperialism toward which
the party OF Hanna has been and is still
guiding us, Republics have risen and
fallen. Their rise is generally through
the travail of bloody revolution in
which the lives of hosts of brave men
are sacrificed. Their fall is through \
process of slow decay Brave men are
required to stem the downward move
ment. There is good evidence for our
faith that the clear. calm voice of Bryan
is needed and that cur nation viii soon
again be headed upward and onward
to that ideal condition of industrial
prosperity and exalted freedom, secur-
ing justice for all, that jefferson
dreamed and planned, that Washing
ton fought for, that Lincoln made more
secure and that every citizen has avital
interest in promoting and perpetuatiug.

There was not very much business
done outside of the regular routine,
which alone is enough to take up the
time of the board during the session.
The new Jail was accepted and is now
in the hands of the committee on pub
lie property, who will furnish the same,
fix up the grounds and build a new
barn.
There were no road appropriations
made at this meeting, which is the first
time in number of years.
